[19:45:10] <fyngyrz> whoohoo ;)
[19:45:05] * Bytram roars in appreciation
[19:44:56] <fyngyrz> thanks
[19:44:47] <fyngyrz> The fun part is when the grandkids bring their friends over and I get to watch them do the jaw-drop thing
[19:44:32] <Bytram> ya think? That is an *AMAZING* setup!
[19:44:09] <fyngyrz> yeah, I'm a kind of out-of-the-closet home theater freakazoid
[19:43:38] <fyngyrz> explosions, even
[19:43:32] <fyngyrz> My favorite game is the old XBOx game Mechassault. Lots of explostion

[19:41:50] <Bytram> that should be... sufficient?
[19:41:33] <Bytram> np
[19:41:28] <fyngyrz> er... 2KW.
[19:40:24] <Bytram> nod nod
[19:40:20] <fyngyrz> nope, but I gathered from the "at school: bit
[19:40:18] <Bytram> there was not even an IBM PC yet, IIRC
[19:40:01] <Bytram> oh, did I mention this was back in about 1981?
[19:39:57] <fyngyrz> I pilot mine on a 204" screen here, with dual 18" subs and 3 KW of audio
[19:39:50] <Bytram> made my chest feel the impact
[19:39:42] <Bytram> and the explosions
[19:39:33] <Bytram> when I went into hyperspace... it sounded like a 747 taking off
[19:39:26] <fyngyrz> As It Should Be
[19:39:17] <Bytram> so, I was soon piloting my spaceship on a 12-foot diagonal screen with very loud sound effects
[19:38:40] <Bytram> oh, yeah, we had active crossover for the amps
[19:38:17] <Bytram> yep
[19:38:16] <fyngyrz> If you look at that rack pic I linked to, on the left, tall rack, the 2nd unit down is a lovely programmable crossover. That's what I use to create a biamp config for the studio
[19:38:14] <Bytram> and to the concert equipment
[19:38:05] <Bytram> he had the Atari hooked up to the video projector
[19:37:54] <Bytram> in short order
[19:37:42] * Bytram ran back to his dorm room, garnered up his Atari 800 and Star Raiders cartridge and hurried back to the student union
[19:37:10] <Bytram> hee hee!
[19:37:08] <fyngyrz> oh yay
[19:37:01] <Bytram> found out it also had a pair of RF hookup leads
[19:36:44] <Bytram> I asked how did it connect to the VCR
[19:36:36] <Bytram> hmmm
[19:36:33] <Bytram> was intended to be connected to a VCR so they could play movies on the Unions 12' screen
[19:36:17] <fyngyrz> lol
[19:36:10] <Bytram> projection tv
[19:36:04] <Bytram> curious, we asked what it was
[19:35:56] <Bytram> about two feet wide, 3 up to 4 feet tall, and about 3 feet deep
[19:35:16] <Bytram> looked like a picaso construction from the side
[19:35:07] <Bytram> the Union operatrions guy wheled in a monstrosity of a box
[19:34:47] <Bytram> one time we'd set up for a concert in the student union and were cooling our heels before show time with a round of beer when
[19:34:12] <Bytram> heh
[19:33:56] <Bytram> and a DC-80 for a pair of tweeters on each side
[19:33:48] <Bytram> used a crown dc-150 (IIRC) for the pair of mids on each side
[19:33:25] <fyngyrz> there you go
[19:33:19] * Bytram was part of the sound group at college... we had 2 VoT bins, driven by a crown DC-300 amp
[19:33:11] <fyngyrz> 16 ohm. Strange design
[19:33:02] <fyngyrz> I have a pair of them in the warehouse. They need some cabinet work, though
