Nice!

Not totally on topic per say, but I figured it might be a good place to get some opinions. Given the choice of receiving compensation is USD or CAD for a contracting position with a US firm and with today's exchange rate being used to set the bar, I'm curious to hear some opinions from...

I don't own a real one (yet), but this new 2700 piece Lego kit looks pretty rad. Perhaps the next best thing? Certainly some nice art for the office :) Lego's New 2,700-Piece Porsche 911 Is a Work of Art

I've seen more folks recently picking up the 370Z now that its 30k and then going to town on it (supercharger etc). Could be a fun project I suppose...

I need a new toy in my life and I keep coming back to the 911. I have a myriad of hobbies so dropping 150k on a new car is not something I'm interested in doing, but whats the likelyhood of finding a decent car for sub $60k that hasn't been beaten to shit? Anyone know? Vise?

The screen is a 120" wide cinemascope (2.35:1) -- so about 10 feet wide, 51" tall.

I built the room knowing I wanted a good room for 2 channel stuff. The horn loaded L+R speakers are perfect for classical and jazz which is what I listen to the most. I've tried some surround concert stuff in here also which is just phenomenal... the rear speakers really add ambiance.

Yah, the Walnut veneered speakers are the LCR. The screen is a fixed 2.35:1 acoustically transparent screen that hangs via its frame on the top and side black bars. The rest of the space on that "faux" wall is covered in Black velvet fabric panels so that the room looks it ends at the screen.

They are 18's. With the cabinets tuned to about 17Hz. With two of them, it really helps even out the response in the room.

Well, after a year and a half of construction, my dedicated theater is about 95% complete. It was a learning curve for sure -- not knowing really anything about construction, but I'm happy with the results: Looking toward the screen wall -- the screen and black velvet panels are off for this...

A cheap Intel NUC running XMBC would be a good choice. Powerful and cheap. Can install Windows or use a linux flavour.

I'm cleaning out my closet and have posted a bunch of cheap automatics/mechanicals up for sale in another thread.

Cleaning out the closet so to speak and have a few watches I never wear any more so I'm putting them up for sale. Everything is located in Barrie. Prices don't include shipping, but It won't add much. I'm also in Toronto from time to time so could arrange to meet up if convenient...

Took some time off this past week and got a bit more done on my theater/listening room. Having never done any renovation work etc, it's been a learning process for sure. Can't wait for it to be finished! Looking at the screen wall -- I mounted the frame but kept the fabric off so I don't get...

Anyone ever consider importing a car from the US? I've been reading about importing BMWs and realize there are a few hoops... A real good friend of mine has offered his 2004 E46 M3 to me for a great price. $17k. It was one of his toys, babied since day one. 6 spd, oxford green with cinnamon...

They aren't small, but not massive either. They'll be hidden behind the screen so it doesn't matter. Looking towards the front stage where the screen will be. The window will be covered over and will be behind the screen anyway. Here's looking toward the rear of the room -- at the...

Some DIY horn-loaded speakers I'm building for my new home theater (currently in construction).

mmmmm HRE's! now that's ballin' Get em!

It depends on what the collection is. If the collection contains mostly european pressings from desirable labels then maybe $5-10 isn't unreasonable if sold individually. Sold as a lot, I would expect much less. If they are domestic pressings (which most collections are made up of) they are...

bump.. still for sale
