Brolic,

To be honest I already had a VP a few years back but got rid of it, my first one was an Infocus 4805 and the last one was an Mitsubishi HC900, not sure if the reference were the same in the US, now they have nothing to do with what you can get now days with a VP and I know I'll be back into projection soon enough but other priorities are in the way for the time being but I'll definetly will go down that road once again.

One of the things that bothers me now is that it's all 3D now which I'm not really interrested in but will have to accept it if I want a VP back in the house; it's all about sacrifices!biggrin.gif

I'm curious. Why would 3D be necessary to deal with if you get a VP?

Hi Prepress, that's the whole point I don't have 3D on my plasma and and don't want it on a vp either so I would certainly won't go for a 3D VP and now days you can't find a good VP that doen't have 3D capabilities, Now, you'll say 3D CAN be deactivated but that's not good enough for me, but hey that's just me.

The finalized decisions for HT upgrades have been made. This September, I'm pulling the trigger on two SVS Submersive HP F2 subwoofers. This is a result of literally weeks of research. After that purchase, I'll be going right after three of Seaton's Catalyst 12C active speakers for LCR duty. My journey to be fully Seatonized begins next month! The Catalyst 12Cs won't be here until early 2013, but after they arrive, I'm going to shoot for two more Seaton Submersive F2's for the back of the theater.

In related news, 'twas a sad day today, for I have listed my SVS PB-13 Ultra on Craigslist. Figured I'd give it a try, since my multiple attempts at selling other gear on AVS have been unsuccessful.

OK, I think I get it. The Duo VP doesn't do 3D, though the latest firmware will allow 3D pass-though.

Hey Brolic. You do have a sweet setup. It's cool that you are getting some F2's and later a full set of Seaton speakers. Can't wait to read your thoughts on them. The subs you love right away biggrin.gif.

Brolic its nice to see the equipment constantly evolving for audio/ video perfection. I have listened the older submersives at a friends and you are going to be very very impressed with 2 or 4 of them and the incredible extension with music and movies when compared to the SVS which is still a great unit. My smaller room 12 X 11 just cant support the seaton so I must stay with the ED but once I start on the dedicated room these are on my hot list.

Look forward to hearing your impressions after the upgrades are complete!!!

Thanks guys, I am quite excited and shall be posting updates as each piece arrives. I'm keeping in mind that, including the Red Cherry finish and Catalyst Stands, this endeavor involves nearly $20k in gear, so things will definitely be arriving over a series of months. I wish I could afford it all now, but my mortgage disagrees. lol...This shall take time, and quite a bit of it. smile.gif **lifts glass of imaginary champagne** Here's to a long but fulfilling journey. cool.gif

Hey, I definitely understand where you're coming from....my upstairs Media Room is approximately 16x8 and there's no way I could ever fit anything large in there without tripping over it. Elemental Designs are a darn good manufacturer though, and are quite popular on this WYSC forum in particular.

I thought it already was.

Anyway, I don't feel so bad about my preamp list now.

LOL....you're preamp list is quite formidable though! Ah, I remember a time when the concept of paying more than $200 for an HTIB was beyond acceptability. Perhaps, as my passion for Home Theater and music increases, the quality of my fiscal reasoning decreases...

My first one was a RCA, paid $349au for it. I remember pro logic at home I was hooked. smile.gif

Mine was a Zenith. Paid US $150 for it at Circuit City by accident (I went there to buy some earphones). The first film I tried on it was Terminator 2: Judgement Day on DVD. My life has never been the same since!

Pro logic had me hooked too! I would use it for games (Games weren't programmed in discrete 5.1 at this point in time) and TV as well. Remember the early days of HD, when the only HD channels to watch were 1) Local new channels, and 2) Discovery HD Theater? Now it's everywhere biggrin.gif

My first movie was the Abyss and Jurassic Park. We never had HD channels in the early days over here. biggrin.gif

Looks like my Darbee Darblet doesn't have the Lumagen fix, so it has to be sent back. Shout out to Mike from the AVS Store for sending it to Darbee Vision Tech for me. Having released a few 1.0's in .08 states myself (never underestimate the pressure from stakeholders), I understand that the Darblet's expected position as the final component before the display means there are too many potential variables (configurations) to plan for everything. Only two major issues for a product that manipulates images the way it does is, in my opinion) outstanding.

On a sad note, a very pleasant gentleman and his wife picked up my SVS PB-13 Ultra in a Craigslist sale. I miss it already....but, its for a good cause...

There's an interesting post or two over on the 9G Kuro thread that may be of interest:

I'd say you have something to look forward to for sure.

Yup, that Darbee looks like its a game changer. Have you thought about picking one up for your Kuro?

Greetings Malis...my screen will be here in 2-3 weeks. Ill def be posting pics of that. Then, the sub upgrades will definitely be documented and there will be a high volume of setup questions for the knowlesgable sub folks here on AVS. I've never measured frequency response a day in my life (audyssey has been my workhorse).

Had a moment like that two nights ago. I have a HSU VTF-15H on the side of my couch and my wife's gf asked "when did we get a black end table?"....she also thought it was kinda ugly.rolleyes.gif

Lol, such moments are indeed memorable! End table, refrigerator......I'm waiting until the day we hear "when did we get a beautiful sculpture?". The day that our significant others (and their friends) find our subwoofers attractive is the day that WAF becomes an endangered species.

Somebody...do it. Please? biggrin.gif

I came across the name Bossobass in my subwoofer research last month, but the links posted were all broken. Thanks for providing the updated link. Yes indeed, those are some good looking Subs and are pretty serious too! I can definitely see them getting past wives across the globe as end tables.....cheers to Bosso, wherever he is.
