The irony is that most people currently own an eshift v4/v5 projector or a previous generation Sony 4K model. Projectors that look quite excellent in their own right which I'm sure can and will hold people over for a few more weeks.
I think a couple people sold their only projector and are literally without a projector. I do feel a little bad for them. I sold my RS500 a month or so before these new models were announced to try and get as much money as I could for it. Luckily I had an X500 (eshift v3) as a back up. Still, it's quite the backup projector with excellent image quality which I'm fine with using for a few more weeks until we get the new models. As long as we get them before Christmas I think I'll be happy but hopefully before then!
I sold real early, First of February, but got an RS640 for fill in, so not hurting too bad. I will move the 640 to my family room setup.
Not too shabby for a "family room" setup haha
I'm hoping we're getting pretty close to a delivery date!
They sound wonderful. The pair of speakers I had before this sounded excellent in their own right, but wow, these are just on another level. Monitor Audio's modified AMT tweeter design allows them to get rid of the distinctive null most AMT tweeters have at certain frequencies. They claim flat response all the way up to 100khz (not that we hear anywhere near that high), but it's quite an impressive tweeter. I'm using a PS Audio Directstream DAC and a Nelson Pass designed class A amp with these. It's a wonderful front end. For bass I'm using a pair of B&W PV1D subwoofers (one for each channel). They simply take over where the PL100 II's start to roll off.
Nice speakers! ENJOY! Have you seen "umr" posts in the "NEW JVC RS3000/NX9 RS2000/N7 RS1000/N5 Native 4K Projectors Anticipation Thread" on the other forum? Hope you and Zombie get your new projectors soon. Looking forward to your reviews!
