Hello from southern Wisconsin

Hello from southern Wisconsin
« on: April 23, 2023, 10:01:25 PM »
I live in a small town along the Mississippi River.  Back in February of 2021 I decided I’d like to try and put a home movie theater together.  I knew nothing, of course, (now I know next to nothing), and the nearest JVC dealer was hundreds of miles away.  I did my best to research, found the “other” forum, and chose to buy from AV Science.  Craig Peer was my contact and was very patient and knowledgeable.  The process went smoothly and quickly, despite being mid-COVID when supply was pretty tight.  It didn’t take too long to get a Stewart Filmscreen and JVC NX5. It’s not a small undertaking to put something like this together, but the results were fabulous.  My wife and I are delighted with our home theater, and I’m starting to think about the next project, which should be in a couple years.
Gotta go.  Just wanted to quickly introduce myself.

Hi Tom, and welcome from a fellow Wisconsinite (but on the opposite side of the state).  I also bought my projector from Craig, albeit a few years earlier than you.

It's a great hobby!

Tom, 

Welcome! I have learned so much from the people on this site. Not only what equipment to get, but what to play on that equipment!

The site is not only informative, but it is a lot of fun. There’s really no negativity here which is so common around the web.

Welcome, Tom! Several of us have JVC projectors via Craig (or Mike Garrett) and are enjoying them. Hope you find the conversation good, it's a small and friendly place.
