Hello. I am in central Illinois and have had some form of home theater or another for many years. I am also a DIY guy having built numerous car audio systems and then progressing into home audio/theater speakers, crossovers, amplifiers, subs and so on. Always looking for new ideas and knowledge!

Just joined, from North Texas. Building a new dedicated Home Theatre. 25 x 17 x 9. I'll like start a construction thread to bounce some ideas off of y'all. Equipment plans: Panasonic DMP-UB900GB 4K/3D BluRay Onkyo TX-RZ3100 (7.2.4 setup) Klipsch RP-250S x 4, R-115SW x 2, RP-450C...

New to this forum from Canada. Hope to find some valuable tech talk with respect to my Yamaha surround unit.

Hi all, I think it's finally time to jump into the Front Projector world. The more I read about Projectors and Screens, the more questions I have. Specifically, figuring out what screen to use is troublesome. My room is not 100% light controlled, as we like to keep the side window/curtains...

Hey gang! Glad to be onboard. Hoping to learn a bit about speaker building and hopefully start a few projects. Greg

I'm 70, live in Northern Calif., am a long time musician (guitar, bass) and recording studio owner. I'm more interested in playing and recording music than in home theater, and joined this site in order to download Room EQ Wizard to help tune my studio. It's in a low ceiling room in my basement...

Newbie here hoping to put a system together.:wave:

Glad to have found this site.

Hi folks! Been trolling these forums for a while but finally got myself registered. I just finished my basement a few weeks ago and am getting myself into the entry level projector scene with an Epson 8350. VERY excited to be a part of this community! Thanks, Kevin

Hi Folks! I just learned of this Forum and after digging around and going through all the sections I'm impressed with not only the depth of knowledge but also the friendly nature of The Shack! I have been on another Forum for about 10 years and I am currently working on my second home...

Glad to be here. I'm 76 (!), married 54 years and retired from General Motors Chevrolet Motor Division. I lived in Annapolis, Maryland, most of my life and moved to Conway, in central Arkansas, 8 years ago, back when I finally became fed up with the population growth and ridiculous traffic in...

Hi Everyone, Found this site after getting my first preamp (UMC-200). Hoping to get guidance on setting up the EQ manually. :)

Hello all! Been eyeing some various threads in this wonderful forum for some time now, and thought it was time I'd sign myself up. I myself don't have much experience in terms of owning or listening to lots of speakers and subs, or building DIY enclosures, etc - but that's where I hope to...

Howdy, Y'all, Your HTS newsletter has served as a gentle but persistent reminder that although I joined this forum a little over a year ago, my participation has been nil. Sorry, I'll try to do better as I have a lot to learn and perhaps a tad to offer in exchange as one who works in the A/V...

Howdy everybody! I've been lurking hear for quite awhile and y'all have helped me out a lot. I really enjoy your forum and your reviews are top notch! Al

Been a member here for a few years but haven't really been active until recently. I'm more in to car-fi but am a fan of audio in general. I plan to build a budget HT soon so I'll be snooping. I also may be contributing some data and reviews soon. I have a site where I post my own test data...

My nick's cryingday because I tend to whine a lot in RL and also because I'm a bit of a soft touch when it comes to movies. I joined in hopes of y'all saving me a few hundred dollars in the DIY section and hopefully in the process saving what's left of my sanity after trying to repair a velodyne...

Howdy from Fort Worth. Low-end snob here - got my Grado SR80s for work, just got some (IMHO) really nice Kefs for Christmas, was reading about traps and psychoacoustic software and wound up here!

Joined up because I want to know more about REW, miniDSP, and the like as I try to tame my sub and coax my setup into an overall better system. I'm out on 10 acres in north Texas and thoroughly enjoy making noise without worrying about grief from neighbors. :) Here's my setup: Denon 3808ci //...
