When I initially requested these speakers I was beside myself, I had B&W speakers on my want list for some time and I finally got the chance to own them. Unfortunately the ‘rona delayed their delivery by four months but after hooking them up and breaking them in I’m thoroughly impressed.
The style is simplistic and functional and I liked that the protective screens attach magnetically.
Now for technical jargon...after getting them hooked up (Bookshelf was LF w/banana clips, Center was HF with banana clips...I did not Bi Wire them) I ran the speakers on medium to low volume for 2 weeks to give them a solid break in period before bring them online fully (ie loudness). I do consider myself tech savvy and a movie sound junkie. I take joy in finding the hidden sounds and the finely tuned/subtle things that make movies sound great...I mean who doesn’t listen for the Wilhelm every time they watch a movie?!
For my sound/clarity tests I could think of no other film than the Empire Strikes Back on 4K (the greatest movie ever made). This film, like many of the greats, have excellent sound ranges. From the opening crawl, mighty Imperial March, the Battle of Hoth, animal sounds on Dagobah, Cloud City and the subsequent duel and escape along with a phenomenal score from the Master John Williams himself truly provides a solid test.
I pushed 80% power to the speakers and was rewarded with clarity and loudness and that didn’t step on or overwhelm each other. The sound was balanced, I could pick up on nuances not previously heard and when I needed in your face sound...they delivered on an impressive scale.
I pushed a few choice scenes to 90% power and was just blown away. The Scimitar class assault bombers screaming over the asteroid field, Boba Fett blasting off the East Platform and the final portion of the duel between Luke and Vader. The speakers truly made these scenes pop and immersed you in lifelike sound making you feel like you were actually there.

Elegant & Efficient Air Purifier
on January 18, 2021
Posted by: Nightmare317
from Travis AFB, CA
First off the thing is huge!!! Easily stands 3 feet tall, wasn’t expecting it to be this big but not complaining.
Very easy set up, took about 15 mins from cutting the box to operational. The interface is all touch screen and simple to use. This can be hooked up to the internet but I don’t use that function and it works just fine.
The box says it covers 624 sq feet and I fell it’s accurate. Ive got mine set up in a open kitchen/living room and works just fine.
There’s 3 fan settings L/M/H and when it’s in L you cannot hear it all. There’s some noise when it’s on M/H settings but it’s not annoying at all. Another nice feature is the LED light up front. It changes color based on the air quality. Solid blue is no detected containment’s and red is max level containments. I’m a professional level chef and when I start cooking the device picks up on the change in air quality almost immediately and starts working to scrub it. I burnt something the other day (who doesn’t) and the purifier was able to get the smoke filtered out in no time, like less than 5 min. I was throughly impressed with the cleaning ability.
Well worth the investment here, especially if you’re sensitive to bad air!!

Feel every word, every moment, every emotion, elevated. The new VIZIO Elevate 5.1.4 Home Theater Sound Bar with Dolby Atmos and DTS:X plus 18 total speakers with separate tweeters and dual woofers to breathe thrilling life into the latest movies, sports, gaming, and more. Revolutionary auto-rotating Adaptive Height Speakers blast sound off the ceiling, delivering completely immersive overhead surround sound. When rotated forward, these speakers provide a wider soundstage and clearer vocals to standard surround and stereo modes, particularly great for music. Voice Assistant Input lets you use the voice-enabled device you’re already accustomed to (sold separately) right through the sound bar, in addition to convenient Chromecast built-in and Bluetooth streaming. Three HDMI ports connect two 4K devices to the TV with eARC making setup clean and simple.

Phenomenal Sound System!!!
on November 27, 2020
Posted by: Nightmare317
from Travis AFB, CA
Amazing is the best way to describe these speakers. A couple of years ago I got the predecessor to this set up and I decided to upgrade to the Elevate speakers and man I’m not disappointed.
Again if you’ve never owned overhead surround sound these will take a bit to get used too since the sound is bounced off the ceiling before hitting you. It’s weird, but totally awesome once you’re adjusted. These are not recommend for a vaulted ceiling though if you throwing the sound up, just aim them forward instead.
Like all speakers these just be broken in before cranking them up to capacity. Take a couple of weeks before cranking it up...trust me on this (blown a few myself back in the day watching Empire Strikes Back).
Set up is easy, just follow the instructions and you definitely need to invest in a good HDMI cable to unlock to full potential of this set up & I recommend a Carbon or Vodka cable.
I run these though a Denon receiver to maximize their potential.
All in all an awesome set up!!

All around great floor cleaner
on November 1, 2020
Posted by: Nightmare317
from Travis AFB, CA
I’ve been using this for about two weeks and now and really wanted to put it through the paces before reviewing and I must say the Tineco passed everything I came up with.
First impression was great. Easy to assemble and came with an extra roller, cleaning solution and an awesome docking station.
The docking station was a nice touch as it keeps residual moisture (from use) off the floor, charges the unit and provides storage for everything.
Run time...I get about 30 minutes per charge, the box says around 35 so no issues there. Recharges in a couple of hours.
Has an LED display that is easy to read and makes operating it simple. Oh and it talks to you, battery use, bin getting full...it tells you everything.
No issues at all cleaning my linoleum, vinyl plank flooring and hardwood. Did a really good job of getting all the water up and the floor dries in a matter of minutes.
Handles pet messes with ease.
Lightweight and super easy to move and control. My 7 yo loves to use it!!
A must have for any home!!

Sharp Monitor with Cool Aesthetic
on September 26, 2020
Posted by: Nightmare317
from Travis AFB, CA
This monitor delivers when it comes to picture quality & response time. Hooked it up to my Dell G5 gaming laptop with zero issues (plug & play) and all of my Steam games play just fine. I have some really old star wars games on discs and (when using an usb Blu-Ray optical drive) this monitor handles them easily with no seen rendering issues.
Sleek design is sharp to look at and the curved monitor really helps me when I’m gaming as it allows me to see what’s happening in my peripheral view.
Let’s talk about the cool factor that comes with this monitor. Just sitting on my desk alone it’s an awesome conversation piece and goes well with my house decorations/color!! Just awesome all around!!

Excellent full size mouse
on September 14, 2020
Posted by: Nightmare317
from Travis AFB, CA
Finally! A full size mouse that’s comfortable, has a good response time and can hold up to hours of play time.
I’ve used a lot of wireless mice in my time but this one is by far and wide the best, most comfortable one I’ve ever used!

The Hypervolt Bluetooth delivers a symphony of power, performance, and variability to provide relief and support for any activity and daily maintenance. Featuring Bluetooth enablement, use the Hyperice app to guide your Hypervolt through Routines designed for specific muscle groups and body parts. The quietest percussion massage device you can find.

from Travis AFB, CA
I was nervous about using one of these for some weird reason but after 2 weeks of treatment I honestly can’t imagine living without it. Every day after work I look forward to using this device. I’m on my feet 10 hours a day walking 7+ miles and this is a godsend for achy feet and legs. Has 5 different massage heads and three different speeds which pretty much guarantees every muscle group gets worked.
A few minor complaints, the handle is large and takes some time to get used to it’s size (it’s where the battery is at) and it (handle) could be longer to help work back muscles.
Massager does have a BT connection but I don’t really use it nor do I use the companion app as it’s not something I like or will use regularly. The massager works just fine without connecting it to a device.
All is all a great percussion massager that delivers on muscle/soreness relief.

This is my first laptop that’s gaming centric and I have to say I really like it.
Set up was fairly easy for me and I was able to get steam up and running with relative ease. I haven’t noticed any issues with lag, connection or pixelation. Boots up relatively easy and I can’t get 6-7 hours on the battery before needing to charge it.
My only complaint is that even though it has a camera, there’s no facial log in capability.

Is it worth it, getting the 2yr Warrenty with the PS3??????
YES!! Get the warranty, you walk in with your busted system, they check the receipt and you walk out with a new one!! I recommend to always back up your data with a thumb drive as they do not transfer for it for free. Geek Squad will charge you $50 for the transfer. Don't worry about the trophies, those sync to the Sony server and replaced by syncing the new console with the server.

How long is your warranty on Ps3 and do you offer military discounts?
Best Buy does not offer the warranty unless you pay for the Black Tie Protection which varies based on the system size and the length of warranty. Best Buy as a corporation, does not offer a military discount. However, I'm in the military as well and my BBY offers a military night 3 times a year which gives us 10% off everything in store (except price locked items) and 20% of all Geek Squad services. Talk to your local BBY and have them contact the BBY in Vacaville CA about hosting a military night. They do it right, they do it the best

How can I get them cheap?
I was going to buy a ps3 but the whole thing is I'm on a tight budget right now, and I'm not really into the whole online auction deal where you have to give your credit card number and all that personal information. It seems that everywhere I look they're at least $250 or more and I'm not looking for a 320GB ps3 I just need even a 40GB I just need some help.
If you want one cheap you'll have to go pre owned route. Sony has discontinued the 40/80 GB models. Now that BBY has preowned check the stores in your area to see if they've got any and if not, check the competitors.

Does Best Buy carry an 80gb Playsation 3, new not refurbished? And how much would it cost?
Not any more as Sony discontinued that model. If you do find one I would buy it as a lot of PS3 owners prefer that model (myself included) and would jump at the chance to get it again. I prefer that modal as it has 4 USB ports, and the extra memory slots (SD, XD, etc.). If you do find one expect to pay around $300.

what is the lifespan of the slim ps3
i know frum experience and research that the "fat" models only had about 2 year life..then u encounter laser and overheating issues..have these issues been addressed on the slims?
I have a fat model that's lasted for 4 years. I play about 10-20 hours a week. The secret to taking care of any of the new gaming systems is ventilation! Keeping your system in a well ventilated area will extend it's life many years. Dust the components regularly and keep any moisture away. The same goes for the slim models; keep it ventilated and it will last years.

Can you trade in ds games for wii games
i have ds games but i dont use them at all because my ds broke but i have a wii and i play it and i want to get rid of them
Certain Best Buy's will take trade in's based on condition of the game. The newer the game, the more trade in value. However, most DS games won't get more than $8-$10 trade in value. Check online using the store locater tab to locate a Best Buy that will take trade ins. It's also recommended that you have the original case and instructions as that add's to the value.

HOW CAN I DOWNLOAD MY PICTURES?
Easiest way is to put them on thumb drives, externals, etc. and just plug it into one of the USB ports. You'll be able to transfer any that are properly formatted. Jpeg is the preferred format.

When will you have more ps3's in stock?
Sony traditionally ships around the 5th and 20th of every month and if they have any to release, they'd be in there. Best Buy can order all they want, but unless Sony is willing to release, there's nothing much us mortals can do.
