A 16:9 screen has a width that is 1.78 times its
height But over 70% of all major films are filmed in
wider cinematic aspect ratio of at least 2.35:1 in order for
these films to fit within the smaller 16:9 screens, the image is
sandwiched between two black bars These black "letterbox" bars
sabotage the ultimate performance of your projector and greatly
diminish the film's intended immersive and dramatic impact! Panamorphic lenses paired with 2:40:1 Screens provide 80% more image area than movies shown on on conventional 16:9 screens of the same height |

| JVC's original D-ILA
imaging technology D-ILA, which stands for Direct Drive Image Light Amplifier, is a proprietary form of Liquid Crystal on Silicon. D-ILA projectors are characterized by natural pixel-free film-like images with smooth gray scales and rich, highly accurate colors. D-ILA reflective chips have a smooth, scatter-free display surface with an extremely high aperture ratio. D-ILA chips have no spatial dithering that causes noise in the low black levels. The gray levels are smooth and continuous and replicate the signal levels accurately. Pixels are tightly spaced and liquid crystal blending gives a film-like image that no other technology can replicate. |

| When AVENTAGE was
introduced in 2010, this new top rated AV Receiver series
represented a dramatic, inspired leap forward with best in class
audio/video component design. AVENTAGE brought studio grade
sound and sophisticated video enhancements to your home with
unparalleled attention to detail in design, engineering, and
fabrication. Every electrical path, every part, every piece, was
rethought and redesigned if necessary to achieve total
performance excellence throughout the series. Materials were
tested thoroughly, and the finest were selected to maximize
performance. Details that at first glance would not seem to
affect the quality of sight, sound and control, were brought
together in AVENTAGE components, and in the end produced a work
of visual and acoustic art. Designed to Deliver the Highest Levels of Audio Performance The AVENTAGE line of high-performance AV receivers is based on the audio design concept of providing a massive, full-bodied sound for movie sound effects and the accurate reproduction of music sources. By expertly harmonizing traditional and advanced technologies, every factor that affects sound quality, from materials and parts to construction, layout, vibration damping (unique foot) and “fine-tuning” the sound, is handled with no other thought than to achieve the best possible audio quality. As a result, every AVENTAGE model has the ability to reproduce the most subtle details of high-definition sound, so that listeners can enjoy a truly high-class sound studio experience at home. |

My
Story: I got into the 2 Channel Hi End Audio business in 2008 working for very well known Hi-End Audio Dealer in West Los Angeles, after nearly thirty years of selling high-end data and telecom solutions, and selling used high end gear on Audiogon since 1998! In the winter of 2009 I made the decision to find a way to make a living doing what I love and formed Kaplan Design, but the seeds of Kaplan Design were actually planted more than three decades in 1976 and a full head of hair ago, when I walked into my friend's house and got my first taste of high-end audio equipment — a pair of Quad ESL 63 electrostatics driven by a modded Dynaco tube amp and a Levinson JC-1 preamp (designed by the legendary John Curl) Though some of the details of that visit are pretty vague now, my memories of the music are still as clear as they were the day after — WHAT MUSIC? And so began my own audiophile journey. Like so many others, I have made it my life’s pursuit to find the best possible sound without stepping to the brink of financial ruin And in three decades as both an audiophile and of late an audio dealer, I’ve learned more than my share about how to squeeze the most sound out a system with money left over for your favorite records, CD's, LP's or digital downloads Along the way, I also got the videophile bug in 1997 and have since designed many systems for satisfied customers. Please feel free to give me a call at my Showroom (323-952-4630) or on my cell (818-642-2171 after hrs and Weekends It would be my pleasure to speak with you about the kind of audio and/or video experience you’d like to create With a comprehensive line of state-of-the art products, I can design a system to virtually any and all customer needs Short of hiring the band to come to your living room, Kaplan Design can help you reach your 2 channel audio and Home Theater goals Sincerely, Jeff Kaplan |
