Placed my EmoFest order for a pair of ERT-8.3s and three ERM-6.2s. They will be replacing my 11+ year old Polk surround system. Just couldn't pass on the clearance pricing. It was about a third off the original price.

My wife and I just ordered this camera: I sure hope this isn't a wasted purchase as I'm known to buy cameras/camcorders and not use them much. Hoping this will also double as my HD camcorder. I really want to get into this stuff. Good for you, I hope you enjoy the heck out of it. I am testing the waters on selling off all my Canon stuff, I am going to step into Nikon...I know, I know, but the gent I was with in Nashville for the Emo fest had a D90 and many of the images were a bit sharper than my Xsi. Almost the same camera and lenses, but he had an edge, so I think the Canon will go and the Nikon will be my baby for many years. Well if people on the camera forums are willing to buy and they almost always are.

Jack, switching to Nikon may be a hasty move on your part. Have you ruled out factors such as the lens used, camera settings used, etc.? I find that most modern cameras take very good pictures and it is difficult to distinguish image quality between two comparable systems. I'm not vested in Canon so this is not a Canon v/s Nikon rant. If I were you, I would visit sites such as dpreview and others out there which provide you with sample images. If, after your research this stuff, you still want to make a move to Nikon, do it slowly. Don't get rid of all your Canon stuff unless you're sure you want to switch. Just my 2 cents.

Nice Eric!! they make a big difference!! They sure do bro! Just walking into the room now you can tell how much (for the better) the acoustics have changed. I got lucky and found a local sound engineer/mixer who sells his custom made panels on CL for dirt cheap. I'm kicking myself for not doing this a long time ago. lol

Derek, congrats on the sub and CD player! Would you be writing a review on each of these? Sure no problem. Here goes... My thoughts on the x-ref 12: Awesome! My thoughts on the ERC-2: Awesome! Fin. Just kidding, when I can get some free (no wife in the house, so I can turn things up to proper reviewing levels) time, I'll do it. Hopefully this weekend after I property calibrate and measure everything to insure proper placement.

Placed my EmoFest order for a pair of ERT-8.3s and three ERM-6.2s. Got my shipping confirmation. 257.4 lbs of Emotiva goodness scheduled to be delivered on Friday. Price per pound it was cheaper than the salmon my wife got from the store! ;D

Speakers! They're about twice as heavy as my old Polk speakers. Time will tell if the improvement in sound quality will be similar.

My latest purchase: This house appraised above $400K in 2007. I bought it for less than $100K. With real estate prices so low I couldn't resist. I'll hang on to it until the market recovers and then see if I can flip it.
