Yeah, just kicked out a 21'' Eizo which could resolve even higher than full HD but was so heavy on the lap when used for preview on the couch. The LCD only does 1440 * 900 pixels which sucks.

Booze bottles don't shake but somehow I think the level is dropping unnoticed. You think ould have something to do with the sound?

How do you keep the drum heads and cymbals from ringing. I too have a drum kit in my Theater/Bar/Studio and you can actually hear the drum kit "ring down" if you mute or pause from high levels. I cover mine with rings I cut from carpet. It helps alot just covering the top heads and the cymbals. When it time to play I just pull "the covers" off.

Just wanted to post some pictures of my front speakers before going to the next change. These are the Atlas DSM MKII, DIY speakers of the german supplier Visaton. Currently they are placed behint the AT screen and the WS21bf Chassis has been replaced by the GF200 to make an Atlas DSM MKIII. Those speakers from the 90ies were given the nick name teleohone booth. The are 4 way and have an internal bass driver to prevent standing sonic waves inside of the box.

Digital Revolution Mr. Green

Okay, it's not that bad. Just switched from VGA to HDMI output for Audio and Video. BUt that was only a spin off of the real revolution

active front speakers

For movie soundtracks the Behringer Truth B3031A are really a step up in quality at only a 10th of cost. Looks like David vs. Goliath but guess who won. Not really usable for stereo though. Such a shame the big amps and front speaker had to go. Since the power amp is no longer a limiting factor I decided to go for a more modern and much cheaper HDMI AVR and finally get rid of the HTPC soundcard. Currently experimenting with a Denon AVR-2309 but not yet sure this will stay.

Yesterday I tried To change the HD10 lenses for GT17 and almost dropped the projector. Hope it will be worth the work.

Still to come is a serious subwoofer setup. A DCX2496 digital x-over and 5 speakers are waiting to be installed.
