I just measured mine.

Now you have me wondering as the second sub thump (I think it is 5 thumps each ) is my cue to go into the room and move the mic.

BTW, sold my Pro Kit with my Integra 80.1 and I don't they have it working with the 80.3 yet.

On the second measurement I stayed close to the door opening so I could hear the back and front subs. When it got to the subs it pinged them only once and both subs got the same signal. On the 3rd measurement I was able to see the screen from the stairs which highlights the speaker or subs being measured at the time. When it got to the subs they were both highlighted indicating they were both being measured at the same time.

BTW, I sold my Pro kit as well. I just didn't notice enough of a difference to justify the hassle of setting up the pro each time I had to do a new calibration. I really didn't notice a difference at all with movies, just music.

We were also sitting at the bar under their in ceiling paradigm speakers but all speakers were on. I looked at him and said, wait a minute, you are playing the Beatles, what is the source? He replied I-pod, I said why do you guys keep using these cheap sources for music that have no bass! Let me throw in a CD or something. He said he wants all his sources to sound good and I said he has a better chance of meeting Jesus!

So it really is the source at fault here. As in the source material, not the iPod. A Beatles CD wouldn't fare much better.

Bass-heavy songs have no lack of good bass through my iPod.

I'm thinking about getting some Trip8's, but your thread compelled me to look at some of the JBL Pro stuff, mainly the 3722n, 3732T, and the 4722. Which model did you specifically have in your setup? (I know it isn't one of these)

I sent you a pm, not sure if you've gotten it yet though. What was the soundstage like for the JBL vs the JTRs?

It was either the triple 12's or an Epson 6010.......6010 wins.

Running all decoding through Oppo 95 > EAD analog passthrough, balanced outputs to a Wyred4Sound mult ch amp. Now my room is terrible......spare small bedroom and square.....maybe 12x10....no treatments and no EQ capability. It still sounds amazing and can't wait to get this whole kit into a dedicated room done right. Combined I'm running the OSs at about 78-79dB, one on each midpoint side wall. They crush me and never even a clip light blink when listening as loud as I can stand....they cause me to wince! lol My seating will be a big bean bag lounger up against back wall

I know N8 was able to unload his old stuff........so I have 3 crossovers and 3 compression drivers from early 2010 Triple8s available if anyone is interested.

I received the new modified crossovers for my T12 LCR's this week. Jeff designed and assembles these himself. They are very well made especially when compared to photos of other crossovers I have seen used in some "audiophile" speakers.

Don't know when I will have the time to install them but probably not for a couple of weeks. Do you notice a difference with the new CD and Xover?

I was in the same boat until I read that some of the parts for the Panasonic are made by Epson.

What size screen are you going with? The Epson has a bit more light output and from what I've read, the black levels are a bit better on the Epson. The only thing I THINK was said to be a tad better on the Panasonic is the 3D performance for black levels. Something about the dynamic Iris can't be turned on in 3D mode on the Epson but it can be turned on with the Panasonic in 3D mode. I'm sure its somewhat subjective as well. Both are awesome, but I'll certainly give you my thoughts on the projector once I get it.

This is what I heard:

The panasonic have sublime 2d and really good 3d as well, so long as i guess the screen size is not too big. It's also feature rich like lens memory.

The epson is much brighter and can support bigger screens, but loses out to the panasonic in both 2d and 3d... and also much louder and can be distracting.

But everything is from what others say on another thread...

I've seen the Epson 6010 in action and it looked amazing. Not to mention it was in eco mode on a 103 inch screen with the lights on and the picture was still beautiful and clear as day. For that size screen, I'd definitely say the Epson would be the better choice for you. Even IF the Pansonic did have a better picture, I doubt that would change once you step up to screen sizes like your considering. Not bashing the Panny, but my money is on the Epson.

Give this a read:

http://www.projectorreviews.com/proj...5010/index.php

I'd give the Pro Cinema 6010 some consideration also. It's $1000 more but comes with nearly $1000 dollars worth of accessories the 5010 doesn't come with like 3D glasses, ceiling mount, spare lamp etc AND has a longer warranty, and is THX certified and THX mode out of the box is supposed to be very very good.

here's one from trusted reviews:


"The optical changes Panasonic has introduced with an eye to 3D actually have a profound impact on its 2D images, giving them a level of dynamism, colour intensity and contrast that's unprecedented on any LCD projector we've seen to date.

Images are so bright, for instance, even using the Cinema modes, that in a dark room they almost slap you in the face. And they're even bright enough to be enjoyed with a little ambient light around - though obviously we would never recommend this."

Basically they gave the panasonic 10/10 for 2d, and 8/10 for 3d, but gave the epson 9/10 for both 2d/3d.

I am also considering the Epson... and definitely a toss up... but I kept going back to it's noise problem reported by some reviews and some people who purchased it and then returned it because it's just too distracting while watching a movie.

"We also found the projector running slightly noisily in its Normal light output mode, making the Eco mode the much preferred option so long as you get your room decently dark. We'd also urge caution with the dynamic iris option, for while this can slightly improve the apparent contrast, it also causes a minor sporadic burring' noise from the projector - "

Anyways, thanks for the input.. .everything goes into my decision making process.

As far as the noise goes, I didn't hear a sound coming from the 6010. I'd imagine the 5010 is about the same. Any local places around that can demo one for you?

But you're right, they are both fantastic projectors, that's why it's so hard to choose from reviews... I have yet to find one in my country so can't view it for myself yet. Also, I guess the screen type would make a difference...
