Thanx for the feedback Kirby. I can't begin to tell you how happy I am with the sound! It's amazing! For the first time, I have speakers that are a sonic match all around, and transitions from front to back and from side to side are seamless. The bass was the biggest surprise. In my old set-up (my living room), the base was great, but now its sound is much tighter with so much more punch without the boominess and rattles I would hear in the last location. I had never before experienced that feel-it-in-your-chest type of bass, but now I know what people mean by that. Aditionally, I'm now using a power amp with significantly more power than before, so everything is much cleaner. My installer has me scheduled for an Audyssey EQ Pro calibration, which he says will improve the sound even more. Frankly, I don't see what more can be done to improve the sound, but I trust him so we'll see. Again thanx for the feedback.

Thanx for the kind words Matt! I selected the sconce from about 10 offered to me by my project manager. He had it in his showroom, and I loved how it looked, so we went with it.

BDG,
Is that an older Firehawk? I have a sample of the new G3 and it's a pretty dark gray. It can be tough to tell from pictures but your screen 'seems' lighter gray than my sample. :huh:
How did you settle on a Firehawk? Did you have a calibration done? Thanks! :T

Thanx for the feedback Prof. Yes I'm thrilled with the sound. Having everything in an enclosed room makes the world of a difference as I'm sure you know.

No Mech, the screen was purchased sometime in March by my project manager. He provided me with receipts for all of his work, so I can definitely say it was purchased new. As to why I chose the Firehawk... it was recommended to me by the P Mgr. to meet my particular viewing needs (I watch a lot of sports with some lights on so I needed a screen capable of dealing with ambient lighting). As I do with everything, I verified this with a Stewart rep. who concurred. Yes, I had a calibration done and was very pleased with the picture, but while searching the web, I came upon a thread in a forum about calibrating my particular PJ and the problems encountered getting it dialed in correctly. After becoming somewhat educated on how the calibration should be done and feeling comfortable enough to go into the settings menu (I had been afraid I'd mess something up), I discovered that my calibrator didn't know how to set up my PJ correctly. Following the settings given to me by a calibrator named Manni01 on that thread, I was able to get the picture to the point that I can only describe as spectacular.
Thanx for you feedback
