Widescreen ReviewÆ, ""The Essential Home Theatre Resourceô,"" will soon be moving into its new headquarters after outgrowing its old offices. Owners Gary and Marlene Reber, who founded the magazine and other WSR Publishing Inc. ventures, including WidescreenReview.com, SurroundMusic.net and WebDVD Publishing, have purchased a new 6,000 square foot building in Temecula, (north of San Diego) to house their fast-growing enterprises. Build-out of the facility commenced on January 2 and is expected to be completed for move-in by March 1.A key element of the new building will be an 8,000 cubic foot (DWH 26x21x13.9) state-of-the-art reference theatre that will serve as Widescreen Review's and Surround Music's review laboratory. The theatre will have a dedicated rear-projection booth designed to optimally house projectors of all technologies, shapes and sizes. Video will be displayed on a seven-foot-wide AeroView Stewart Filmscreen. A time-and phase-accurate Dunlavy Signature Loudspeaker System will serve as the theatre's reference monitoring system. The system features five SC-V speakers, one HRCC, a SM-1,and two Tower TSW-5 subwoofers. Additional equipment will be announced at a later date.Acoustic designer Dr. Peter DeAntonio, President of RPG Diffusor Systems, Inc, is the lead designer for the home theatre laboratory that will be built with the complete QuietZoneÆ Noise Control System package from the Owens Corning Science and Technology Center Acoustical Design Division. The Sound Transmission Class rating of the theatre is STC 60dB. The theatre will be constructed as a room within a room in the corner of the building's concrete tilt-up construction. Jay Miller, President of Acoustic Innovations, is serving as a consultant on the interior design as well.Gary Reber, President of WSR Publishing Inc. and Widescreen Review's magazine and Webzine Editor-In-Chief and Publisher explained the reason for the purchase. ""This is without doubt the biggest expansion we've ever had. We just came out of a year in which we went from six issues to ten, plus we produced two major special editions, the 556-page The Ultimate Widescreen DVD Movie Guideô and The Essential Subwoofer Buyer's Guideô. Also we have our WidescreenReview.com Web site and our new SurroundMusic.net site, both of which experienced tremendous growth in 2000. Add to this our new WebDVD Productions division which produces hybrid DVD-Video/ROM discs that feature 5.1 DolbyÆ Digital and DTSÆ Digital Surroundô movie trailers and WSR's interactive DVD database both as private label products (Sony, DTS and CEMA/CES were the first major disc projects with others in production) and which will soon be a part of The Ultimate Widescreen DVD Movie Guide quarterly, and it is easy to see our need for space for additional staff and testing facilities.""The new address is 27645 Commerce Center Drive, Temecula, California, 92590.
