Your theater looks nice. I would like to make a correction, although I do not know if what I see is done on purpose..."Laserdisk" is spelled wrong. It ends with the letter "C" I have a theater in my den, alhtough it is not a dedicated room like yours. I also have a screening room in the cellar, which is dedicated to super 8 motion picture film, both silent, & sound (magentic and optical). I was on the net looking for used super 8 equipment when I found your home page.

3rd part of message: almost 35 mm.Here in Europe it's hard to find a projector like Runco or Vidikron.I decided to settle for now for a reasonable LCD projector, a Sharp maybe, because I definitely think in one or two years we're gonna see some great DLP projectors that make the best projectors and line quadrouplers obsolete.Do you have any opininions on that?In the meantime I wish you a lot of succes, and you definitely have one of the best home theatre pages on the net.Greetings from Amsterdam, Dick.

Hello Philip, Great home theatre, and great pages. I'm writing to you from Amsterdam, Holland, Europe. I myself am in the middle of setting up a home theatre myself. I just ordered the KEF THX speakerset and the Onkyo THX receiver. It sounds incredible.

Hi Philip: I know I´ve said this before: GREAT HOME THEATER(Cant help it) As a Laserdisk supporter, I find it disappointing that the video industry is about to introduce an incompatible disk format called DVD. Does this means that this are the final days of laserdisk?. What would be the destiny of the 12inch disk? now that there is a 5inch disk coming out soon. Does this means that our laserdisk players will become obsolete? (hope not) If you happen to know, please e-mail me. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK

HELLO PHILIP: I think your home-page is great, and your home theater is outstanding, the best one I´ve ever seen, honest. I am a big movie fan myself, Im 19 years old, and I live in the Dominican Republic, (excuse my english), and I happen to have a home theater myself(not as cool as yours), but I enjoy watching movies in their great letterbox splendor and great THX quality sound. I used to have a Sony Pro-logic receiver with a 6 set of speakers, but then I sold it and I bought the Bose Life-Style 12 Home Theater System, which is great, but Im beginig to have problems with it. When I play re-mastered films such as Jaws THX version, I get great sound from the front speakers, but the dialog kind of sneaks into the surround speakers once in a while, is this normal?. Please e-mail me. Thanks P.S. I´ll recomend this fabulous home-page to other home theater fans. Once again. WOW, COOL HOMETHEATER!!!!

Your theatre looks STUNNING!! I have recently purchased a system (nothing like yours) but the problem in South Africa is that Laserdisks are scarce and very expensive if you CAN find them. Please help me and send me detail of a dealer(s) in the USA who will deal with me direct via Credit card. I need a fax or telephone number. Thanx a stack and enjoy your System - I am going to watch The Stones on IMAX now Best Regards Chris
