Just curious where is the crossover from a large tv to a projector occurs? Or has it? And, is the picture quality there for everyday use? Meaning are they bright enough to watch in a bright room? I've been looking to upgrade to an 85" tv. It's almost too big already! I would need to have it...

Starting 5/26 Peacock will not be offered for free to Comcast subscribers. From what I can find, NBCUniversal is still trying to make a profit. As for myself, I'm debating whether or not I should subscribe. I like watching the cycling. Beyond that I've only watched an occasional show...

I just saw Jacob's write up here on the Naim Classic. Thanks Jacob!: Naim Classic and Sennheiser Conversation | Audioholics I have always been a big fan of internet radio and streamers. It's always disappointed me how slow this technology has been to catch on. I have one streamer in my bedroom...

I was looking at cameras and it had me wondering whether TV's are becoming like cameras? Remember the pixel wars? 3, 6, 8, 10, 16...Mega pixels? Or even computers? There's always a sweet spot with performance to cost. We're seeing 8k even though 4k is still in it's infancy. There's still not a...

So, I've read the likes and dislikes, or pros and cons, of add-on atmos modules. I'm still really leaning towards giving them a try. The next question becomes, do I go for matching KEFs, or jump in with something inexpensive like the ELAC atmos add-ons?

I just got a Denon AVR-X3400H to replace my dying Integra 40.2. The only thing I did was swap out the AVRs. Everything else, speakers, external amp, and room configuration, all stayed the same and weren't touched. After going through the installation I thought the Denon sounded better than the...

The inevitable happened, after 7 years my Intergra DHC-40.2 is on it's last legs. There's no sound when it comes on (intermitantly works at the moment). Internet search says it's most likely the HDMI card..... Basically I'm looking for something similar, Audyssey, pre's out for all channels to...

I just picked up a new internet radio, GD Mondo Plus, with built in Chromecast. As some might remember, I loved my GD internet radios. I have an eclectic taste in music and most the big music providers just don't go that deep into tracks and miss some genre's completely. A little present...

I just want to share an experience. I downloaded an ear training app onto my work computer (don't tell anyone!). I had three sets of inexpensive buds lying around. They were mostly used for listening to my voice mails and only occasionally for music. I never really gave them much thought...

Hey Guys, My wife wants me to put speakers on the patio:) We would like to be able to play whats playing on the main system in the family room which is located near the patio. I've looked into various ways of doing this: Bluetooth speakers, using a system for delivering wireless sound to...

I was looking at the idea of using a pair of ultra thin wall mount speakers for my rear surrounds in a 5.2 system. I know it would make my wife happy;) What's the prevailing thought on these types of speakers? Anyone have experience using something like this?

It seems the majority of speaker reviews I've read are close to pointless. I believe reviewing speakers should take the form similar to that of how car mags review cars. For instance, a shootout with 4 speakers that are similar in price and target audience. First, make measurements to see if...

I'm watching old Star Trek episodes on Netfix. I have to significantly turn the volume up for this show compared to most other shows I watch. Then there's the loud and soft CDs. It would seem, being these are all digital sources, that the data could be processed and some median value signal be...

I've been wanting to update my long-in-the-tooth Paradigm reference PW2200 sub. What I want to know is what is a guideline between getting one more expensive sub vs. two less expensive subs? For instance, a pair of SB/PB-1000's vs. a single SB/PB-2000 vs. a single different sub altogether that...

As a corollary to the Subwoofer dB Level Poll is there an ideal crossover point to use for 1) music and 2) home theater assuming the sub is used in conjunction with decent set of full range front L/R speakers? Audysses on my new pre/pro sets the crossover 40hz. My old pre/pro the choices were...

Hello, I just wanted to share my bedroom setup now that is up and going. I appreciate every one's help:) I'm still getting situated in my new place, so everything hasn't found it's home yet. Current configuration: NHT Classic 2 speakers, Emotiva Mini-X a-100, and Grace Digital Solo. (I have a...

After getting caught in storm the Emotiva mini-x finally showed up:D It's now hooked up in my bedroom driving some cheesy old Sony's. I was about to pull the trigger on the NHT's when I all of a sudden got concerned about their 86db sensitivity. My concern is driving these with the 50W@8ohm...

I'm going to add a 2 channel system in my bedroom and looking for a suggestions and ideas on which direction to go with the speakers/amp. The two I'm considering are: 1) Powered speakers such as the NHT Superpower, Audioengine A5+, or the Airmotiv 5. 2) Buying a small amp (maybe something off...

I got my Integra DCH-40.2 setup and going with a B&K AV5000ii (5x125). This is driving Def Tek BP10s, BP2s, and I can't remember the center's model #. I took the B&K Ref 20 and used it to replace the Adcom GTP-450 in my 2 channel system driving an Acurus A200x3 w/Polk monitor 50s (I know...
