Hello from Durham, NC

Hi fellow HT nuts. I've been in this hobby for over 20 years and I love IT! I am currently building a two manifold IB system with four 18" drivers in each manifold. This is my first time experimenting with an IB system and I am very excited to hear what it sounds like. I recently upgraded my projector to a JVC DLA-RS1 to be shown on my 155" screen. The RS-1's picture is nothing short of amazing. It makes my ancient Sony VPL-10WHT that died after 15,000+ hrs look horrible. I am still using my old M&K MX-5000 THX system with two MX-5000 subs. It sounds really nice but I have been longing to upgrade it for quite some time now. Once the IB system is installed and tuned I am going to start working on some HUGE DIY LCR speakers that I will need ALLOT of advice on. I am currently using a Toshiba HD-AX2 for HD DVD and a Sony PS3 for Blu ray until the new Panni's come in next month. Well that is enough rambling for now. I look forward to learning allot from this forum. Best wishes to all... Dirtyharriett P.S... if anyone wonders about my login name... I am also into large guns BIG TIME!!!

Welcome dirtyharriet, Glad to have you at the shack.

It seems we have a hobby in common besides HT. G19 here. Not big but effective

Hi, I have so many favorites that it is hard to chose just one so I will rank them by category. The favorites that I own in each category are as follows... Belt fed - 1919A4 (but will be replaced by the M2HB that is on the way), BMG - Barrett M95, Rifle - Colt AR15, Pistol - Colt 45 with laser. Everything I have is tricked out with the latest in high tech accessories and I have enough range time to know how to use them. I guess you could say I am a serious survialist BUT HT has ALWAYS been my number one love. Nothing like escaping for a few hours from the rat race by sitting down to watch a good movie. Pure heaven in my book!!!

Hello Harriett and welcome to the Shack!

Sounds like you have a really nice setup... and 155" screen.

I bet that is awesome.

Darren, how do you like your IB system? What kind of sub system did you have before and how did it compare to the new IB sub system? Thanks... Dirtyharriett

And yet another welcome to the Shack Dirtyharriett

After reading your intro it makes my question to your post in the Display thread moot

You might want to check out his IB subwoofer thread and ask from there.

dirtyharriet- Welcome to HTS from a fellow NC resident. I live a couple hours from you near the beach (Swansboro area). This is a great site with a large base of knowledge. You should be able to find good help on your aforementioned projects. I also enjoy shooting occasionally, and have a small collection of guns from when I used to hunt more. Keep us posted on how your projects go, that helps others who may be considering the same.
