    Outdoor?

    The KEFs are on Amazon at $379/pair right now, which seems like a great deal, I just don’t have a local dealer so can’t audition them

    Outdoor?

    That’s probably a good idea. I guess I could audition them just by setting them up on an outdoor table close to their eventual mounting spot

    HBO Max, Amazon, Paramount+ not sending Atmos signal?

    I have an Apple TV 4K connected to both systems and immersive audio is turned on

    HBO Max, Amazon, Paramount+ not sending Atmos signal?

    AppleTV, which doesn’t really give you that option. It outputs as uncompressed multichannel LPCM

    Outdoor?

    I'm resurrecting a plan I initially had at the beginning of Covid to replace my Jamo outdoor speakers, which ended up lasting a lot longer than I expected but they have bit the dust now. I'm considering the Ken Ventura6 and the Paradigm Stylus 370, but not locked in to either if there are better...

    HBO Max, Amazon, Paramount+ not sending Atmos signal?

    So I'm getting this same "Multi Ch In" signal on my AVRs (both a Denon and an Arcam) regardless of what streaming app it's coming from - Netflix/Prime/Max or if I buy/rent a movie directly from Apple that is supposed to have Atmos. My question is - is this just a metadata issue where the "Dolby...

    I wonder how many of these crazy expensive cables and associated voodoo are being paid for on credit card financing of 25%+

    Why a streamer?

    Ex I didn’t realize the AppleTV cap. I wonder if I could really notice a difference in the quality of output or if I’d just be chasing stats….

    Why a streamer?

    Could be. I'll admit to not really understanding the benefit of Roon either. I can see how it makes sense if you have copies of music stored on various hard drives/NAS devices around your home, but now with the availability of high quality streaming at such a high level from...

    Why a streamer?

    I just use my AppleTV as a streamer. The WiiM looks like an AppleTV, actually. I guess that device makes sense if you're connecting to a 2-channel/non-HDMI system but otherwise I assume the sound quality you get out of an AppleTV/Roku/Firestick/native AVR is no different?

    Why a streamer?

    I’m curious when I see these Network Streamer components from places like Cambridge or Rose or Naim. They’re usually priced well over $1k and I’m not sure I understand the point. Most modern AVRs or streaming devices like Roku or AppleTV all contain the same apps for...

    New AVR time

    Thanks all. I’m going to start by trying the optical out route. If that doesn’t work for whatever reason, there is a local AV store offering a Marantz 7015 for $850, which seems like a tough deal to pass up. I normally wouldn’t pay for the Marantz name but sounds like they’re trying to clear out...

    New AVR time

    Ok, I’ll try this again. Question on the Oppo setup, though. Can I just keep the existing connection between the Oppo-Anthem-TV rather than run a separate HDMI video directly to the TV on the Oppo?

    New AVR time

    This is what I originally tried but couldn’t get audio out of the receiver. Only played thru TV speakers or nothing at all.

    New AVR time

    Why would I need to run an HDMI audio to the Anthem? Wouldn’t the optical out of the tv serve the same purpose?

    New AVR time

    I’ve tried this and can’t get audio out of the receiver. Not sure if I’m missing a setting or something but audio only comes out of the tv speakers. I will say I don’t love the menu setup on the LG and find the settings difficult to navigate.

    New AVR time

    Is the 3800 worth the upgrade over the 2800 in a 5.1 system?

    New AVR time

    Let’s just say I have the upgrade bug. Any suggestions? I’m probably open to stretch the budget to $1500 if it really makes sense

    Why do processors need ANY video hookups?

    The amount of pure BS being spewed on this thread is highly amusing. “I claim to have the world’s most discerning ear in the history of audio because I have season tickets to the symphony (excuse me, the philharmonic), and I like to sneer at the plebeians and pathetic ‘consumers’ who are...

    New AVR time

    I’ve decided to upgrade the display in my family room, moving from a 2011 Samsung plasma that just bit the dust to a new LG OLED display. That means it’s also time to upgrade my trusty Anthem MRX 710, which still is lovely but no Dolby Vision, no 4K. I’d like to keep the AVR budget under (or at...
