    Doro, no sign of the SB6k yet. Any thoughts why? Just want to make sure it's not lost in the mail.

    I have this unit and looking to ship it ASAP. I apologize for the delay life has been hectic. The shipping label is no longer valid and just need new shipping label. I have both the IHT and the SB6K and have both boxed up and ready to ship. No valid labels though.

    dorokusai - I sent you a PM as well regarding this.

    Got the IHT set up today and gave it a good listen staright out of the cable box and watched Drumline. Going to play with a couple different sources and I also have a couple freinds that want to come over and give it a listen.

    First impression is that I don't hear too much surround, but it sounded great on the dialog, soundtrack background music and did a real good job on the drumline solo's. Looking forward to palying with this to see what it can do.

    It should be ready to move on to the next person in a couple weeks.

    We already have 2 in rotation so not at all.

    Please read the first post and send me the information to include email and best phone number, which is usually forgotten by everyone, even after reading it.

    DO you have any idea how many emails or PM's I get from this place Rodney? :biggrin: It's possible I simply overlooked it. I got it and the label has been shipped to the member.

    I guess my tone may have been interpreted a couple different ways in my type...it was meant to have a smiley face type tone to it and I believe that you picked up on that:)

    Sweet little system and a nice 2 weeks spent with it. Review is posted, and it's ready to move on.

    Thanks, the demo was fun.

    After this run of IHT, we're going to roll you guys into the Surround Bar 6000 demo program by adding a couple more of them. It's the more modern version and it just makes things simpler to handle. Let me know when you guys get the current units and anyone else who wants to demo this product or the SB6K, sign up over there. I have 2-4 more units on the way.

    Got the label and printed it. Won't be able to ship it till Friday or Saturday this week. I'll post the day it ships.

    All the friends I had over to demo it, liked the surround bar. The wives especially liked the wireless sub idea. From all of the wives remarks it seems that wires and speakers cause them stress and sleepless nights when their husbands start talking speakers and stereo systems.
