    What New Stuff Have You Bought? If You Care To Share Thead! :)

    Ghost in the Shell blew my mind when I first watched it. It's my all time favorite anime (I'm a science fiction geek) and have watched it 10's of times. Everything I've watched since then gets compared to it. There have been others like Mushi-Shi, Black Butler, FLCL and Soul Eater, which I loved...

    Replace lamp+housing or bulb only?

    Hope your recovery is going better than expected. I'm comfortable handling the delicate process. I've changed the BR laser on my PS3 and non removable battery on my Mom's laptop. I can even take precautions to ensure the bulb stays free of oil from my hands. That said, your contention about the...

    Subwoofer Candy

    The apartments around mine have been empty and I've been pouring this sweet sweet subwoofer candy on me all afternoon. Not having to visit relatives on Thanksgiving has its benefits :cool:.

    Dayton Audio UM18 w/ SPA1200DSP Kit

    Different amps, different gains, different AVR settings. If there is no distortion when playing music, there's nothing to worry about. Maybe the amp is not designed with soft turn-on capability. Kinda like when the sub is first turned on from being unplugged. Shouldn't be loud or a series of...

    Emotiva separates A-700/MC-700 OR Denon AVRX4300H for a 7.2 setup

    Does it hum with just power connected to it? Is it still variable with gain knob? Since the hum volume is affected by sub's gain control, I would assume it to be a noisy sub amp.

    Denon Receiver 3300. I want a receiver that can seamless stream my pc music library.

    I am assuming the PC and AVR are not located in a manner that would allow you to run a HDMI directly? AVRs in general are not good in the role of client to a home media server since the "app" is extremely utilitarian. Further, Windows Media Services (WMS) is a basic media server. Together, you...

    JBL surround speakers?

    I cannot find anything new from JBL, suitable for surrounds. One option could be to move your current L and R to surrounds and get something better for L, C and R. What's your budget? Here is a pair that can be used for rear speaker...

    Replace lamp+housing or bulb only?

    Is there any reason to buy the complete housing replacement along with the bulb? For example, for Sony HW45ES the manual specifies LMP-H210 as the replacement. I can get that on B&H (Sony authorized) for $300. Or, using the bulb specs from the B&H product page, if can get a UHP 215/150W 0.8...

    Onkyo sucks nowadays?

    When AVR shopping, I returned a defective refurb NR818 for a refurb X4000 thinking Denon reliability would be higher. Since then, I have had a HDMI board failure and sub-out failure. I've paid in repairs half the cost of this X4000's purchase price. In contrast, a bottom of barrel refurb Yamaha...

    AV Receiver / External Amplifier

    If you like to crank it, keep a look out for the AVR shutting down or developing listening fatigue after a few minutes of loud music. If either of these happen, it is a symptom of need a beefier amp.

    Quiet pro amps?

    I thought Sensitivity pertains to a single driver while efficiency is for the complete speaker (driver, crossover, losses, etc.). I suspect the marketing teams adopted sensitivity metrics over an efficiency standard as a means to obfuscate speaker load on amps.

    JBL surround speakers?

    Sure they do! The bundle you picked up is not in the line which sells individually or in pairs. If you don't mind used/eBay, here is the matched set. You will have a few spares or can try Atmos, etc. https://www.ebay.com/itm/JBL-CS6100-Surround-Sound-Speakers-5-/182545561918

    Need help for laying out 5.1 non-standard room

    I voted no. Any chance you can move the TV to where the couch is? Then the L and R will go where you have the red circles in the second attached file. If you move the dining table 90° and then flip the couch to be on the other side of the arch way.

    Is it possible to simulate Dolby Atmos?

    He needs to go 7 layers of simulation deep to seed the sound and convince others that it is not simulated. DUH! :D.
