    1/3 octave I’m very aware of the differences thank you for bring it to my attention. As you know most of us around here aren’t made of money and “these things, be done delicately.” So when I get the time all the amps and EQ’s will be changed just to satisfy me alone.



    The overall look and sound of Small Soldiers was brilliantly sharp and rich in colour with this region 2 DVD framed at 2.35:1 scope it’s one of my favorite aspect ratios that worked well with the look of the film.

    Sound was top notch with this six-track Dolby stereo digital surround mix that worked very well with centre back. Good spacing of dialogue panning with a few Wilhelm Screams thrown in that made me laugh. LFE.1 was sparely used.

    Jerry Goldsmith’s score was a delight to listen to which help to tie in well with the characters and some famous film scores like 2001 with a few songs like War by Frankie goes to Hollywood and Wannabe by Spice Girls and some cracking humour where the neighbourhood all goes to hell with "Chip Hazard" is commando leader voiced by (Tommy Lee Jones) who hunting down Gorgonites leader "Archer" voiced by (Frank Langella).

    Extras look good with animated menus. An audio commentary session would have gone down well. Still it was good value for money and good viewing.

    Picture 10/10
    Sound 10/10
    Overall 9/10

    Yeah! That's Bonkers, Baby! Now give me a review of Kick Boxer 2: The Road Back, or Leonard Part 6, no, no... Give me a review of The Adventures of Pluto Nash. Just make sure its an irrelevant movie that nobody in their right mind would possible watch!

    Guys, you are wasting you time.

    I'm wondering what his condition is.

    He does kinda remind me of SVI.

    AR server has been busy lately for some reason.......

    How do you like your 8000 watts of MOSFET RMS single-pento-ended 0.00005% THD Class Alpha total sound system in Tri-Ohm?

    But seriously, it looks like fun, doesnt it? I would love to have that system if I had another room. Not sure if you got enough power though. Didnt care to read all the posts, just saw some pics.

    Since I'm not made of money, I don't have 30 speakers. How much did your whole system cost you?

    Well the surround array and only the JBL control 1 surround array cost a cool £249. 95p dipolar and bipolar would have been around the same price for a good pair but then your only getting two pairs.

    I’ve seen B&W costing nearly £600.00 well they can keep them at that price.

    The fronts well I can pick them up for around £105.00 for the pair. Thou when I get the chance fronts might be changed over for large JBL matching of coarse cant do it with mismatching, can we.

    The JBL 4645 well I can tell you but I’ll have to feed you to the Sarlacc?
