thudabot Posted October 21, 2007 Share Posted October 21, 2007 I just had to start this thread. Went for a wonder in West Coast HiFI in Midland the other day and was blown away by their PJ room. Unfortunatelly all the staff were busy so I couldn't get the details of the stuff that was running. They must have a 200" screen on display (it's the biggest I've seen) and PJ running covering the whole screen. I couldn't see the brand name or model on the PJ anywhere but was all hooked up with HDMI to HD DVD player running Mission Impossible 3. Must have a nice short throw lens also. The quality and picture size are the best I've seen. I must say the whole store actually looks nice and no i have nothing to do with the company. Just wandered if anyone else has seen this otherwise I will ring up monday to get some info on the beast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

50mxe20 Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 I think the West Coast Hi Fi shops in Midland and Cannington are associated. Staff seem to float between the two stores. They may be franchised by the same guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trigg Posted November 15, 2007 Share Posted November 15, 2007 (edited) Well the setup they have there at Midland will retail around the $100k mark (it is a sight to be seen) this is the Projector they are using - Dream Vision. Running a Denon 4308. Can't remember the AMP and Speakers they were using, but sounded awesome!! Edited November 15, 2007 by Trigg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Trigg We saw the Dreambee at Ehome quite a few months ago, just before I got my JVC delivered It is a JVC clone with a better quieter case and bigger price tag Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
betty boop Posted November 15, 2007 Share Posted November 15, 2007 Hi TriggWe saw the Dreambee at Ehome quite a few months ago, just before I got my JVC delivered It is a JVC clone with a better quieter case and bigger price tag yeah remember the dreambee at ehome too. a real batmobile looking thing !. the addititional cost also for maybe the gennum vxp processor, pus think it also comes with more picture controls too ? maybe an option for someone after a jvc like pj but with a bit more tweakability ?. there appears to be a pro version of the bee as well. the dream bee throw a bit more light than the jvc ? specs on projectorcentral saying the dream bee does 1000 ansi lumens vs 700 for the jvc ?

Al, I am sure it is plain vanilla underneath the citroener looks The pro just adds a VP50 IIRC Spec sheets are put out by the marketing boys I recall http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread....hlight=dreambee http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread....hlight=dreambee also cineversum blackwing is oem with different case ( also quieter than HD1) http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread....hlight=dreambee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
