Are you in Europe? That sounds like PAL or SECAM. Over here, it is recommended to go from 60 Hz to 120 Hz or 240 Hz because it's an even multiple of 24 fps, so the maths are easier. Going from 50 Hz to 100 Hz doesn't make the maths any easier (because it's still based on 24 fps), so you lose that. It could still theoretically be good, but you really need to go into a store and see for yourself. Look for a scene where they pan side to side. If you can't tell the difference on the material that they're showing you, then I wouldn't get it. They're probably not showing it to you for a reason ("most people can't tell the difference" being my guess).
Billy posted in the slow forum that the guy runs a high-end car cleanup service, and that it was a stunt. The fact that -- at 2 feet of water -- it was a safe way to get it wet without hurting anything else reinforces this opinion.
On the other hand, I'd like to see if there's any rust after a couple years, so if there isn't, then his service might just be worthwhile.
Thanks for all the impressions, guys! Moar of you should go listen to the orthodynamics. That would be Epica. (I kinda doubt it was Neko Case, but Colin can correct me if I'm wrong.)
That actually is pretty cool -- especially since it introduced me to the concept of an acoustically transparent screen -- I was told there is no such thing.
And: in-wall speakers can sound extremely good if done well. "Infinite baffle" etc.
Bugatti Veyron -- I like how the first associated video is "car wash fail".
Billy -- yeah, my spidey sense just went up about 10 pts. (on "stunt") based on that.
So is it basically this:
...minus the red and blue pieces? You'd have to figure out how to adapt those weird tiny little what look like power-connector thingies (which is really the audio signal) to the JH13's, right?
