    Basements for home theaters?

    We have been searching for houses for a long time now. We had a deal for a house fall through because the lady had a bunch of liens she couldn't pay. Anyway we saw a really, really nice townhouse with a big finished basement. Would you think it would be ok for a home theater in not disturbing...

    SVS PB1000 and PB2000 Pro/2 amps.

    I have two SVS subs for sale. A PB1000, that's the older non pro version. I also have a PB2000 pro for sale but two working amps. The amp that's in it works just fine but the Bluetooth function stopped working so it won't hook to the SVS app. I have a new amp on the way that should be here...

    Unconventional hanging of speakers?

    I just bought the Polk XT90 speakers for Atmos on wall duty. Because we rent I don't want to put holes in the wall. I will if I have to but would this work and not be a problem? I know it will hold but will this leave the wall a mess after I take them down when we move? Industrial strength...

    Polk XT90 Atmos speakers and general questions?

    Finally going to step up to Atmos. I have the Denon X3400H so it's only 2 front Atmos capable. Have had this receiver for years but just haven't done Atmos. I took a half ass attempt at it years ago but it sounded terrible because I half assed it. Any way I didn't want to go expensive for these...

    5.1/Atmos music streaming volumes

    I was pretty jazzed about Atmos music, not because of the way it was marketed to headphones which we all know is ridiculous but for us home theater guys with good setups. I am an Amazon music guy but saw Apple music has Atmos music already for the app on streaming services like Fire TV devices...

    Would this center be an upgrade?

    https://ascendacoustics.com/products/cmt-340-se-center-channel-speaker?variant=31620958814262 Would this center be an upgrade over what I currently have? I have an all JBL Studio HT, 570 mains, LOVE THEM, 530 surrounds, LOVE THEM and the 520C, like it but not love. Sometimes I find it lacking...

    Just ordered the Panasonic UB820 player

    Just went ahead and ordered the Panasonic UB820 player from Crutchfield. My Sony 4K player doesn't have Dolby Vision so I wanted that and I want to check out this HDR optimizer.

    Long shot DirecTV Stream question/issue

    I know is a long shot to get an answer but doesn't anyone have DirecTV Stream and watch it through a Fire Cube/Stick? It's the menu all screwed up, and I mean all screwed up? Number one issue, if I'm on say TNT and I go to the menu instead of scrolling from TNT it begins at the very top of the...

    Eye opening insight in movie sound!

    This was an eye opening insight into the evolution into movie sound from the very beginning, even before with silent films. This was fascinating! I hope you can watch it free as I did. I have YouTube premium so I'm not sure if that's why I watched it free. If you can it's amazing. Sent...

    Correct distance from main speakers to center channel?

    I never thought of this before and I have no idea why. It's there a right, or minimum/maximum main speakers should be from the center channel? It's there a right or wrong? Sent from my Pixel 4 XL using Tapatalk

    Def Tech SM55 as a center and running speakers "hot"

    Thought I'd kill two birds with one stone and ask two questions in one thread. Now that I have the JBL 530s being delivered today to complete my JBL HT, 570 mains, 520C center that frees up the Def Tech SM55s. Do you think it would be worth it at all to try it and see what one might sound like...

    JBL Studio 570/520C my thoughts

    I recently sold my RSL CG23/3 HT to move to JBL. JBL was having one of those crazy sales and the 570s were on sale for 200 each, I couldn't pass it up. A few weeks later the 520C was on sale for 89.99 which again I could not physically pass up. Well a big leap of faith played out very, very...

    Ok, this surprised me, JBL 520C [emoji44]

    I upgraded my HT speakers a month or so ago to the JBL Studio 570 mains, they were on an insane sale. I have my old Def Tech SM55 as surrounds and they sound great. I needed a center channel, the center channel in this series is the 520C which was not on sale and 4 inch drivers with that awesome...

    JBL Studio 570 first impressions

    Ok, I received my JBL Studio 570 speakers on Friday, ordered on Tuesday night so pretty fast shipping. They are quite small towers at just 34 inches tall. They pack a nice punch though, compression tweeter, dual 5.25 inch woofers. Very large waveguide. They are not nearly as ugly in person as...
