Man Caves

[stroh]

The electronics were just installed last weekend and I headed up to NC for business for a couple of days.  Have not watched a full movie on it yet, though have played a couple of games.  PS3 in 1080p on 104" = cool.  Transformers is actually one of the ones on my need to watch list.

The guy doing a lot of the work is one of my neighbors.  Had not met him before this - I found him on AVS through his construction thread.  Found in his signature that he was in Georgia.  PM'd him.  He lives in the next cul-de-sac over from me... Funny chit.

LOL  That's great.

How do you like your projector?  We're looking to upgrade soon.

I'm really happy with it, though don't have a lot of experience.  I test drove my neighbor's system before selecting things.  I went with the same speakers as he did, as his system sounded kick-butt.  No need for butt-kickers, the HSU subwoofer throws it out.  I went with the Yamaha 3800 because of all of the sound processing capabilities (hence holding off on one of the new Blu-Ray players that matches its capabilities), and because my neighbor was familiar with the set-up and integration w/ the remote.  He likes Panasonic projectors for their quality and service, as well as their flexibility in adjustments and throws.  I was going to get the 200 (720p), but it only came in white.  With my black ceilings, I did not want white - but I did not want to step up to the 2000 as it was $2800.  I got the 1000 for $1800 or so through Costco.  While my neighbor had never seen the unit, he's been impressed with the picture.  He's probably spent more time looking at the picture than I have, to this point.

I had to ensure him that I was not some sort of internet stalker dude, so gave him my phone number and address.  Now that I've known him for a few months, he KNOWS I'm some sort of internet stalker dude.
