Hello all. I posted in the wrong section earlier so here is my Xbox 360 with my spiffy new Dell 2005FPW hooked up to my Xbox 360 via the Xbox 360 VGA HD AV Cable.
I have a TOSLINK cable hooked up to the cable's optical port going to the SoundBlaster Audigy 2 Platinum optical port on my PC to get 96Khz
uncompressed Dolby Digital 5.1 sound on my Klipsch ProMedia Ultra 5.1 speakers. I have played PGR3, PDZ, Condemned, demos of Kameo
and NFS: Most Wanted on the 2005FPW and they all look absolutely amazing.
Even the dashboard and HD trailers of Mission Impossible 3 and Aeon Flux (available from the Xbox Live Marketplace) look spectacular.
They all sound freakin amazing too.

Thanks for the compiments. Not bad for a 25 year old HS drop out eh? :eek:

I am in the home theater installation business and am using my house as the showroom for my own business.
 
good work and sweet setup, schooling doesnt really make you a better person obviously, its not for everyone and im glad that your a living example of just that ;)
 
My camera is terrible, I guess that could be my next upgrade.

Are those Ascend CBM-170's? Nice setup, panny's are one of my favorite plasmas.

Yea they are. The TV stand's a bit small so I got 5 of them rather than a true center. I've got an SVS PB12-ISD and that thing is crazy. I have to turn it way down so my neighbors don't kill me. When I finally move in to a house I'll get new speakers and probably get a new receiver and use these for the computer.
 
Wow, a lot you guys have your 360's standing vertically. I thought this was sort of risky due to the cd getting scatched. I purposed made room to put mine flat even though it looks way better vertically. Anyone had problems?

It's fine standing vertically. Only a risk if you move it while it is. Just as much risk having it standing vertically next to a bookshelf/television/av equipment as it is to have it flat in the middle of a desk :D

I really should pick up a set of ascends for my pc as I have always wanted a pair but can't have them on display in my house as I can't truthfully sell them. However I have a SVS PC-Ultra and I love it too much to not have it in my theater. The 12-ISD is great, so much so I actually recommended it to a customer because I knew I couldn't sell him anything for near that price that would sound half as good as the SVS.

Ascend just came out with an SE model of both of their speakers. They extend a bit lower and are supposed to be a decent improvement over the old models (old as in less than 1 month :p ). I'd definitely recommend them, especially for the price. The few times I've tried to test my system at near reference levels, I've been blown away at how well they sound.
 
Maybe I will pick up a pair for the PC or for 2 channel listening in the back room. Can't have them in any of the places where I could really make money from selling a set of speakers. Tis a shame but that is why those speakers are such a good deal is because there are no dealers in the middle.

Yup, it's the same deal with SVS. I've heard good things about the SVS speakers too, but they are a step down from ascends as they're smaller and cheaper. We'll see what happens when they come out with the speakers to match the plus and ultra subs ;)
 
The SBS-1s are supposed to be competing more with the small speakers from AV123. They supposedly will have a Mid and Tower speaker soon in packages, who knows when though.

This shows tentative ballpark dates. I'll definitely be on the lookout for their tower speakers. I'd love to have something that matches well with an ultra/2. The sad part is, I sort of want to move to a different apartment or a house, with the driving reason being a better HT set up and more freedom in terms of volume. Plus if I get anything bigger than this ISD I'll probably break my back. Carrying that thing up 2 flights of stairs with a friend was one hell of a work out (as was the plasma), and the ultra/2 weighs over twice as much as this one does! :eek: It was worth it though. I love the initial reaction people get when they see the sub. It's bigger than my end table :p

I forgot to ask this earlier, how are you liking the 4806? I was seriously considering getting it until I realized I would probably be going the seperates route when I finally get some more room, so I cheaped out and went with an older receiver. Not that it's bad, just doesn't have all the bells and whistles the 4806 has.

Mine's updated.
*nice setup*

I do like your setup, but it brings me to tears when I see such a great television coupled with a [Durabrand, no less] boxed home theater setup. Nice shelves/tv color combo, though. Now get out there and grab a real amplifier :D

Thats why I have gone with the Cylinders both times, The 20-39PCi was a great introduction into what real subwoofers can sound like and now the PC-Ultra is just a bad ass unit. I was installing a set of Anthem Statement components in a customers theater and even though he had dual Earthquake subs (don't remember model but they were the 15's with a 15" Passive radiator) and I still pre-ferred the sound of my PC-Ultra.

I love it truthfully, with the audessy EQ it can really help smooth out a rooms sound and has plenty of power. It powers my Kef's like nothing and has alot of feature, the new firmware that is going to be released will even add Faroudja processing/scaling over the HDMI outputs. Hell I even replaced a set of ADA seperates in a customers house and it sounded better than the ADA peices. And that was pushing a full setup of C.A.T. speakers which are far from effecient. I don't see myself upgrading anytime soon unless I am forced to buy say a full Anthem Statement setup to get a dealership with them.

Yeah, I know.....That's the next thing I am working on. It won't be too long, though. Surprisingly, the sound is pretty good though!
 
superostrich, looks like you have a kid running around there with the child lock on the cabinet ^_^!! I'll post a pic soon...
 
It's not a huge difference as the source material is still 480i, but it does add nice sharpness and clarity to the picture. It especially helps because of the large screen size.

thats what else i wanted to know.....how sharp HD was on that RCA, because all the stores show dish network "HD" broadcasts but if you go into the menu of a samsung tv it says the sorce its receiving is 480i.....so i could never really judge how good HD looked on the sets without it recieving hd signal
