... that with the RPTV gone from the center of the sound stage, the bass is better. I have a Velodyne ULD 18II which can make some serious noise (ancestor to the HGS 18), and with the TV gone, a smoother response is heard from my listening (and watching) position. For 2 years now, when I was in the mood for that big block buster movie and sound to suit, up the volume goes, I heard an anomilie which I couldn't put my finger on. Now with the TV gone, I know what it is, the bass trap sitting in the middle of the soundstage soaking up that certain something.

I've only had the projector for a short while so the setting up and mucking around will go on for a while yet. Since I'm in the honeymoon days, the bigger brighter more is better will ware off and the videophile will kick in and I'll investigate properly. We keep watching movies we've watched many times over and they have a new dimension now, so fiddling will have to wait. I'm going to try your suggestion and turn down the brightness for the better blacks, so thanks for the info.

Still very pleased, regards Robert.
