"The AE700 sells for a few hundred dollars more than the Z3."
That's funny. I paid 1550 Euros (~US-$ 2050) for the Panasonic, and the Sanyo Z3 is not going for under 1900 Euros over here. Good thing the 700 is brighter and better anyway.

I'll make a screen. With a simple, white bed-sheet on a black felt covered wooden frame. And since I'm anal about cinemascope, I will make cute little curtains to properly mask off scope movies.

Man, I'm kinda screwed on that issue. I'm surrounded by righteous German neighbors. Meaning, whenever I make that "extra push over the cliff" to
11, I have cops knocking on my door.
But even graver, I once tested a six channel set-up at my place. And all the voices from the center channel sounded thin and dull compared to my stereo speakers (with treble and bass set way up). To my shock, I found out that multi-channel amps don't have treble and bass dials! "Nope, that's true," I was told later on by a dealer, "You can't mess with treble and bass with that. It's set (the amp & the DVD sound transfer) as you're supposed to hear it, anyway." I told him that Alec Baldwin's voice is much more "brighter" and "deeper" on my stereo speakers with
messed treble and bass. To which I just got a surrendering "well..."-shrug. And that was the end of that for me.
Anytime you charge up to Hamburg... I'll be happy to have you as my guest.
BTW, I got a mail today, telling me that I'll probably have to wait another 2-3 weeks for delivery...
