The significantly larger enclosure volume and lower port tuning frequency of the RP-1200 is the difference maker. The driver has been slightly improved in the RP-1200, but the excellent SPL-120 driver would perform nearly as well. How do I know? I built an enclosure with the internal volume of the RP-1200, with a similarly tuned port, and 400W RMS amplifier. I then dropped in the driver from my SPL-120… the difference is not subtle.

@@miodragsuknjaic5243 it is a bit steep

@@dvspot yep, the old ones are a bit more powerful as they had to reduce them just a bit and make the cabinet larger to nearly eliminate port chuffing. The new ones are cleaner, but they’re all good subwoofers. We always recommend that you don’t go above about 45 or 50% on the older woofers because the amplifiers are known to go out when pushed too hard

@@peakoil-ko5oq What units did you have in mind?

@@percybedford6266 the Epson is brighter. Resolution, and of course tone mapping gives the JVC the slight advantage. Overall built quality I would give to Epson. Geometric correction if you’re doing a curved screen goes to Epson. Both phenomenal units, please subscribe as we will be doing some more videos on both of these units soon. if you’d like to purchase from us, we always appreciate the support of our family business. We’re also happy to offer phone support on all of the products that we sell. Take care, my friend.

@@DivineAV yes I am already subbed to your channel, love your content. I bought the LS12000 last year and the side by side you did with the 5000es was a big factor in helping me to decide on the LS12000. Just wondering if it would be an upgrade and yes I will contact you if I decide to upgrade.

@@percybedford6266 oh that’s my bad my friend, I’ve seen your comments in the past. I really appreciate your support of our channel and business. It’s definitely a step up as far as clarity goes and the tone mapping is pretty nice but I think you have a pretty solid projector right there. If you’re talking about the higher end models, that’s a different conversation.

@@DivineAV you're good. I was specifically referring to the NZ500. I think I may hold off for now and wait for your reviews on the NZ500. Thanks again and looking forward to your reviews.

@@percybedford6266 yeah, we will do some more testing and get it out to you guys ASAP. we have some cool surprises coming for the channel and a lot more content

@@Kiwi-ot3wz thank you so much for watching. Yes the Epson was updated and it is now significantly sharper. There’s benefits to both projectors. The Epson has overall a bit higher built quality and it has advanced geometric correction for curved screens and other situations. Is about equal and both projectors are current lineup. Prices the same and Dealer margin is nearly identical so there shouldn’t be any dealer pushing one unit over the other. We sell both projectors. Put them side-by-side, the Sony is slightly sharper, but color accuracy might be a bit better on the Epson. You’ll be satisfied with either Projector when it’s in your house and not being directly compared to another Projector. We do need to do an updated video for sure. If you’re in the DFW area and the best demonstrations, give us a call. if not, work with your local dealer and he, or she should be able to point out the exact pros and cons of each unit. We greatly appreciate you watching and subscribe for more :-)

@@ipcress20 thank you so much!!!

@@michaeldee3380 yeah we asked him about that. He said that they can make this in a matte finish if the market demands it. But you get a higher perceived contrast with the blacks using the gloss

@@DivineAV Yes, most people will probably opt for the reflective glass panel as it provides better perceived contrast but most importantly also sharpness. I have never seen a MicroLED in person but these all appear to be in a matte finish. Prices for certain models like the Lunar Walls I think they're called are starting to fall. I give it another five or ten years tops before this technology becomes mainstream. The 115 inch TCL looks very appealing but its sheer size/bulk and weight make it a difficult sell for most people.
