    quad svs question?

    SB 1000 x 4 vs. SB 2000 x 4? i am having a hard time thinking that you would get a $1200 dollar improvement from bumping up to the 2000 line. the room in question is 26' by 14' by 7'. whatcha guys think about these two choices, I know this will quickly become a "you should get this instead"...

    lets talk about front wides

    I thank you both for the replies, but I'm not trying to debate whether or not the wide layout is good. Everyone will have there own opinion on that and as I said there are currently a lot af big name guys saying it is very much worth it (I believe that Gene is a fan). The question is for people...

    lets talk about front wides

    they are definitely having a moment again. i hear that "nobody uses them", "front wides are dying". well a bunch of heavy hitters lately are saying that front wides are more useful in a system then an extra pair of overhead atmos speakers, or even rear surrounds. who is championing them? guys...

    unified speaker layout?

    http://www.audioholics.com/editorials/auro-3d-listening-evaluation "If you want to support Auro-3D, DTS:X, and Dolby Atmos content at the same time, you’ll need to arrange your home theater with the so-called “unified speaker layout” where you have two front height and two rear height channels...

    my new htpc - me likey

    sorry haven't looked at this thread in a while. no it doesn't come with OS. and just as an aside, I love kodi. plex is nice too, but I have found kodi's setup to be a lot more refined. choose whichever you like, but note that all the piracy BS has nothing to do with kodi and they are actively...

    How to Extend Wireless Internet for Full Coverage in Large Homes

    I recently got the google wifi setup, one on my main floor and one in the basement. super simple setup, more then fast enough for my needs (mostly streaming music but it should be able to stream HD - I average about 85Mbps) and zero headaches. I realize that there are cheaper, faster, more...

    Exotic Speaker Roundup AXPONA 2017

    those beolabs became my new all time I would kill for these speakers. most high enders I have heard are really just disappointing. these were not.

    my new htpc - me likey

    actually to clarify, I think the main noticeable difference comes from hdr10 sources. the difference between them and HD movies is really dramatic.

    my new htpc - me likey

    I have not noticed any artifact on mine, but perhaps I just am not sensitive to it. I also do not notice any big difference between my calibrated plasma and calibrated new samsung (I use a colorimeter). what I will say is that ultra 4K is... different. I will say it isn't natural, like a...

    my new htpc - me likey

    btw in a totally non related aside, when are we going to get computers that you can power on and off with a remote? and yes I am a lazy fat ass.

    my new htpc - me likey

    the big deal is being HDCP 2.2/4K compatible. I recently redid my whole system when I got my new Samsung to get everything up to 4K - new avr, new htpc, new ps4 and xbox one s. next in line is that new oppo. future proof. at least for the next 9 months :)

    my new htpc - me likey

    I know the "I can build a computer for 1/2 that price" guys will come out now. but if you're looking for an off the shelf 4K compliant htpc, this might be the coolest thing ever. I am really happy I got this right now...

    Room eq

    Audyssey's new iphone app lets me turn off any correction above a frequency i can choose. I know that you shouldn't try to correct upper frequencies so what would be a good starting frequency to roll off correction? Tx!

    MartinLogan Neolith Electrostatic Loudspeaker Review

    had a pair of vantages once. got rid of them for two reasons: they would start to protest when pushed extremely hard (not a big deal) and i found them to be on the bright side which got fatiguing during long listening sessions (much bigger deal). however still to this day, i have yet to find any...
