At 60 years old, my wife says my hearing is going from too much loud music and movies. But my eyesight sure isn't. So I'm always trying to upgrade my projector. My audio sounds pretty good now!
excatly me point :) but to each his own

I was able to sell my dirac and amps...and still have 95% of the sound (probably more)

you do realize I have had dirac for over 2 years :)

imho id would rather have the PJ (also I had the exact same PJ your running...and all the jvc's blow it away) than a slight upgrade (debatable even in blind tests) in sound
Just out of curiosity... Where did you sell your Panny? I wonder if i might have by chance bought mine from you. :)

It wasn't me then as mine didn't come with 3D glasses.

Well it was nice while it lasted. We have started to dismantle the HT, as we are selling our house, and moving to Mexico, so now I am working on designing a new HT for the new home. We are looking at building the new house out of clay brick around a new HT room. The new room will have a ceiling of at least 12', brick ceiling with exposed wood beams, a concrete floor, 30' or longer, and at least 20' wide. I will be taking my acoustic wall panels, and will be building more panels, and bass traps. I will hopefully have the other 2 speakers ready by the time we move, I hopefully will have the amp up, and running in the next week or two. I will start a new thread called Negatron II for the new build.
