Here is the 2-Channel playlist

Let's not forget the folks that worked all day making sure we were fed. These two individuals did a superb job, as did the bartender.

Total assault!
The sound was level was perfect. 115db highs
You did a lot of work for all of this, acting as host, and sound engineer, the entire 9 hour night.
Your movie choices were excellent, with a couple repeats at the end, for the subs to show their stuff.
In the multichannel music. The subs melded fine.

The two channel to me, seemed like a little too much sub and I was wondering what your Front speakers alone would have sounded like. An a/b comparison, if even possible. Plus, I would like to see others respond/opinion to this (first seating of 2 channel). Because when the XRT2k peaked out of say, the Jodie Whatly song over the subs, they were pitched perfect/sweet and made me want to hear more of them alone..
But I could have been in a wave node seat on that siting, as the next surround demo was perfect! (To me)


The entire experience was fantastic and made my system although 1080p & lossless, sound thin, because I do not push the db's and F113's as high as I need to, as in usually someone complains at the home front.
Every seat had a different sound. (As I tried them all) I would like to hear the MX150 in that room.
Its amazing how your front speakers sound so good, while sitting so close to them.
PS
The deserts were also excellent!!

Nice pictures Pete. Thanks! It's like I'm almost there... well, no not really. But I can pretend.

Any names to go with the pics?

Ivan,

I thought the music and video selections worked well because you needed to find things that appealed to a broad audience. The only thing I missed was Hope Waits voice, and maybe one screaming blues guitar cut, on your system.

I thought the volume levels were fine, in all cases. The best seat for me was in the middle in the back row.

I never heard your system before you picked up the PPP's and the two Gotham subs, but I can tell you that it was the best audio and video experience I have ever had, period!

As KingRT says you wore a lot of different hats that day, and you and your family couldn't have been better hosts.

Thanks again for a fantastic weekend!

Observation: No problem with the sound level (personally) although some ladies had their ears covered.

PS: Maybe you need a "Ladies Night"

I think Pyro is onto something...
