The Official Premier Acoustics Owners thread

[jaejw1]

dont think this will have a lot of really low bass,,, but like i said,, had to watch at a really low level.... but for what it is, it seems ok.... wish i knew more about the story though.....

yes i say rent the bluray first before adding to collection.......

[jaejw1]

finally... due to a scheduled blackout by the edison company... we have no power in our neighborhood so i cant play my home system... so i sit along with A HANDFULL of others in the IMAX theater to see IRONMAN2 ,,,, see it the way it supposed to be seen... large and loud..

nice. I still have yet to see it. Sometime this week the wife and I are gonna see it at our IMAX.

totally worth seeing on IMAX...I made a list of all the awesome LFE moments to keep track of so I can compare with the bluray ..hopefully the bluray will be mastered exactly the way the movie is... IMAX rules..

has ayone seen MONSTER HOUSE on bluray,, i bought the dvd which only has dolby digital 5.1,,, it was pretty impressive as far as sound goes....
my question is what is LPCM and how to play it... i would love to hear this bass in a more aggressive fashion....

[Adam.C]

LPCM will show up just like DTSHD etc does... just select it as your track

i dont have an HD rcvr yet still running optical for sound...
so does all HD rcvrs have the capability to play LPCM.. if not will it say that it does ... i have yet to see this as a feature on rcvrs.. or maybe i just wasnt looking..

its just an uncompressed track. From my understanding its not used much because it takes more space on the disc than a Dolby THD or DTSHDMA.

All HD avr will accept it, including BD players.

Ive never seen it advertised on a avr


If im wrong correct me please peeps

Sounds right to me - yes - every HDMI rec would be able to process PCM/LPCM tracks.

I just have to stop buying blurays and get me a HDMI rcvr

Join Netflix or Blockbuster.com - you'll still get your blu - but won't have to buy so many of them.

I only buy the "best" - ones like Avatar, LOTR, etc. I also keep a list of what I like/want on my amazon.com wish list and my wife/kids will get me one or 2 for my Bday or Xmas.

You are missing out (big-time) without lossless. It's the difference between dry/drab and sharp and crisp. It really is worth it. After a while, DD 5-1 will sound flat, etc compared to DD True HD (and DTS-HDMA)

Plus there is so many movies I need to catch up on

[jaejw1]

still trying to save for that HD rcvr.. the money keeps turning into bluray movies

Did you know that each Netflix account can be setup with multiple queues? I get 3 at a time for netflix. My wife has a queue, I have a queue, and my kids have a queue. You can assign more than 1 disk to a queue, and you can set a queue at 0 (say the kids are away for a week at grandma's, etc).

The way to do this is through account profiles. You create a login for each person in account profiles and then assign how many disks that profile gets.

Check it out.

I will have to look into that,,,thanks for the info

[jaejw1]

my son wanted to watch MONSTER HOUSE again... this time i have it playing much louder at -28db which is 12db lower than reference..... im completely impressed.. more than i was the first time we watched it... lots of low deep bass

the surrounds get a very good workout also...
its just kind of annoying watching that strange motion action,,,, like POLAR EXPRESS

[eddysnake]

Finally watched Kung Fu Panda last night, skidoosh was awesome, the entire movies sound was awesome, I loved the sound when he was bouncing around before the skidoosh off the pillars. My little girl loved it, so now I gotta buy it

i had the dvd before buying the bluray and i couldnt see why ppl would get excited about that scene until i got the blue.... and now having the blue version,,, i cant wait to upgrade to a HD rcvr... i wonder if the difference will be the same..
