Hi everyone,
I would really appreciate some help, and here's an opportunity to entice someone over to the dark side.
I have seen a few 9" CRT installations and agree hands down that the PQ is awesome. I have discounted CRT due to cost, complexity of installations and maintenance, size, heat, etc (the usual digital excuses/complaints).
However, in the back of my mind rests the idea that I can't live with a compromise in PQ after the small fortune I have spent on my dedicated HT.
Here are some parameters to consider:
I have a large dedicated HT with total light control. The room is approx. 27 x 17 x 10. My ceiling is completely reinforced and can handle anything I would ever want to mount up their.
I would like to keep the screen size at 11' diag. I currently have a Firehawk and realize I would need to replace it.
My total budget is around 25k - 35k, includes PJ/PJ's, screen replacement and scaler.
Could anyone make some recommendations on products and vendors I should deal with. From reading some threads in this section it seems that B stock or used / refurbished CRT's are the way to go.
Would I need stacked CRT's for that size screen?
Am I dreaming here with this budget and size screen?
Any other words of wisdom or advice for me?
Any help would be very much appreciated
