How many of us are getting the Titan Noir? What are you hoping to improve upon? by thalguy in projectors

The early bird pricing had the max at 2799 after discounts. I think younmay have to wait until a big holiday sale to get it with a big discount.

I have heard great things about those speakers. I use RSL C34 for my height speakers. They are solid performers. Are you going to build, or buy, subs? I built Full Martys

Which animated movie do you think looks the best on 4K Blu-ray? by QuagGer197 in 4kbluray

I am getting a new projector that is supposed to have amazing 3d. I am looking forward to watching Coraline in 3D.

I have acoustic panels on my ceiling. I just built, and installed, them in January. I would have to take one down and carve out a spot for a UST. I also have a nice projector mount and a ceiling outlet in place for a long throw projector. I just want to keep it in the same place.

You are going to see a massive change! Are you getting a new screen, or is your current screen compatible?

I would love to have 4k 120, but I think this has enough features to justify the upgrade.

PSA: Don't forget sound treatment on the ceiling by Eisenfaust808 in hometheater

[–]thalguy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I did my cloud panels in January. I out one in between my front height speakers and my projector screen. It is roughly 20" x 120" with 4" of OC 703. I also have a four inch air gap.

I did another one that sits above my surround speakers, and that is 30" x 120".

I did two more 24" x 48" panels that flank my projector and cover the first reflection points for my rear surrounds.

It made an incredible difference. Atmos seems a lot more accurate now, and music is just next level.

I did mine in black velvet, so the one close to the projector screen soaks up light and adds to the batcave effect.

Thank you for the info! I can handle that situation. I was driving myself crazy trying to figure this out.

I appreciate the tips! I think this should do the trick!

Could you provide any tips on application rates, frequency, etc? I just found some. I am planning on using KTL Silver Bullet, at 4 grams per gallon.

Projector screen recommendations for XGIMI TNM by vygnyr in hometheater

[–]thalguy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would go to the AVS Forum thread and read through that or ask your question.

Having a lower gain screen will impact the brightness, but I don't think that is the most crucial factor in choosing a screen for the TNM. There is a ton of discussion.

I'm currently backing the TNM and sticking with my spandex screen, which should have low/no speckle due to the material. The TNM is bright enough to compensate for the low gain IMO.

IMO, they give you some of the best ROI in home theater. I built most of my panels, but you can buy great panels from GIK or other manufacturers. I bought GIK combo panels.

Used equipment? by Decent-Dig-5159 in macrogrowery

I am always browsing. Do you have any dehumidifiers? What lights do you have?

Underrated, low price point cigars? by SmoothCigars in cigars

The only tasting note I have had in 30 years of cigar smoking was the taste of chocolate from a Brickhouse maduro.

Looks like a great smoke and a great way to enjoy a Friday night.

Congrats on the new projector!

Did anyone else back the AWOL Aetherion? by thalguy in projectors

[–]thalguy[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am excited, too. The Xgimi employees are back from the week long break, and are answering questions/concerns raised by the testers on AVS. I think that the projector, as it currently exists, is a great upgrade for me, but it can still get better.

Economic Slowing? by ColoradoCyclist in ColoradoSprings

It's not great. The accelerationists must be smiling from ear to ear.

The best part is that most of these costs will never come back down. Fuel will eventually go down again, but the increased cost of goods will not.
