Thanks for an excellent review. Sadly it seems all of the current crop of AV processors have some serious flaws to contend with. Just as with Anthems new processors, I have high hopes, but will not be investing in them just yet.

Beta is still going strong in professional settings so I wouldn't call it a failure. 3D may be dead for OLED's but those of us who use projectors are still loving it. I hope UHD and 3D can peacefully coexist. I really enjoyed this trip down memory lane. Thanks for a great read. I was...

I hardly matters. AC is an efficient transport for electricity but most devices in your home will use a transformer to convert it to a [much lower] DC voltage. That voltage is then delivered to the respective devices at the voltage they specify. Now if you're talking about [class AB]...

Careful. They won't keep reattempting. I always waive the signature requirements and ask my neighbor to grab my packages when I'm not home. Fedex even claimed to have delivered a package when they had not at one point. I had to file a claim and they were about to have to reimburse me when it...

You're right to consider a SSD. They are awesome and along with the [now common] UEFI BIOS replacement will reduce your boot up times to virtually nothing. My first HTPC was AMD based. It ran fine for the most part but nowadays I stick to Intel just to rule out weird compatability issues...

I don't know about now but early builds of Win 10 were absolutely horrible. I took the bait for the free upgrade and still went back to Win 7 on my home office system. I never took the chance on my HTPC but maybe it's time to take another look. Maybe...

That about sums it up for me.

It may be but without an Object-Based soundtrack it is instantly regulated to Redbox rental status for me.

I had considered picking up Dunkirk but, based on your comments, researched a bit further and now will not. You always have a choice.

I hear you and you have a point. I am blessed to have a dedicated room so I do sometimes forget that the majority of HT enthusiasts probably have their systems in multi-purpose rooms with limited ability to position and re-position speakers to accommodate new audio schemes. Do remember...

I agree, thus my trepidation. I think I want dual subs but it's hard to part with a stalworth product like the PB12 Plus/2. It's older but still amazingly capable.

Yes, I hear you but my SVS PB 12 Plus/2 keeps pumping out the bass. I relocated it based on TheWarrior's guidance and I'm pleased with the overall result. Sincere thanks!!! In wall/On wall subs? Honestly, that sounds like sacrilege to me but I'll take a look. Also, it would be a difficult...

Why??? A little more information please. By this do you mean available titles?

Accumulated over the years and on the rare days I do entertain large crowds it's pretty awesome. I may try relocating the sub to the rear. If it's not optimal I can always move it back. Thanks again.

LOL - Yes, I do have a lot of speakers. The ones between the seats are my rear surrounds. It's usually just me and sometimes my wife [and she couldn't care less about sound quality] so I'm not interested in optimizing for all seats.

Thanks for your reply. Room dimensions are below. I'm not sure I understand exactly what you mean by "layout." I could relocate the sub as indicated but I figured that would overwhelm those in the rear row. Room: Width: Front = 10.7 ft Rear (pedestal) Area = 7.7 ft (see pic) Length = 21.4...

Please forgive me if this has been covered or belongs elsewhere. Here is my situation. I have one of the first SVS subs, the venerable PB 12 Plus/2. In my previous home it seriously shook the house [and neighborhood] at 40% gain without breaking a sweat. That house had a larger room than...

There is a lot of truth in this statement but it's hard to be anything but apathetic when some of the biggest crooks are in Washington "getting away with it" on a spectacular scale. Call me cynical but I believe as long as we have weak, greedy, ignorant or otherwise uninformed people in society...

Reread my comments. I never said that. I merely distinguished between what is legal and what is ethical. The latter can be very subjective, the former not so much. Again, the term "misleading" is highly subjective and so of limited use in legal arguments. We've all seen the TV commercials...

What is "OK" with me and what is legal are two entirely different things. I wasn't under the impression we were having a moral discussion here. I would submit that your real concern should be WHY we have laws that allow unscrupulous predators to willfully deceive their customers. No one is...
