Everyone had those laserdisc/karaoke players! Those were fun to play with.

To me the 'invention' of home theater was when someone decided to have a theater in their homes. Ken Kreisler of M&K was building these back in the '70's.

Personally I believe that VHS and Dolby Prologic started home theater. This new age of DVD has brought about a flood of cheap wannabee home theaters. Kinda like whats going on in car audio. More people involved, but less quality....


Now back to the monster subs:


This little sub has a cool feature that allows you to dial in room boundries and its onboard eq will compensate for it.

The new generation of high-end home subs are starting to come with more eq's and correction software....interesting stuff!

You win. There were stereos in cars years before anyone decided to watch a movie in there home.

Where exactly did I say 'the new stuff is better'?

Better yet if you want to keep this going....pm me.

Here is another sub that has been getting a lot of good feedback:

Sound Physics Labs Contra Bass:
114dB spl @ 16hz
with only a 200watt rms amp
2 15" drivers with 2 passive 18's.
120lbs.
