I need some suggestions. I own an Integra DRX5 AVR and I use both additional zones for outdoor speakers. I had been using Tidal built in to stream Tidal Masters (lossless audio) direct through my receiver which is connected to my network via Ethernet cable (hardwired). Enter Tidal Connect… no...

So in my Family Room I have 4 in-ceiling speakers that were pre-wired by my builder (10’ HT Ceiling). I sit about 15’ from the front wall. I use a passive L/C/R speaker for my front soundstage. Two of the in-ceiling speakers are right above where I sit, L and R. The other two are about halfway...

Does anyone have any experience with Monoprice speakers? I have been looking at this model for in-wall speakers with ribbon tweeters: https://www.monoprice.com/product?p_id=15700 The low price has me worried. Should I be?

Santa is bringing me a pair of Audeze LCD 2C and I need to get longer cables that the stock ones. I see there are a lot of very high $$$ cables out there. Is it snake oil like most audio cables or are headphone use an exception?

Any input from those who have this product as a streaming device is appreciated. Also, has anyone played PC games through this device? How well does this feature work?

Not exactly a newbie here, but this may be a newbie question. I have read some commentary about the government regulations concerning. Audio component testing and how other countries differ from the US. I have two questions: 1. What (if any) government regulations are in place that may restrict...

So I have noticed a rend on here with Yamaha owners and/or Ascend Acoustics owners. They seem to aggressively sell you on these two products and if you post anything negative these owners get very defensive. They also seem to be very adamant that these products are far superior to anything else...

I went to my local dealer to hear some SVS speakers for the first time and I also heard a pair of Revel F36’s they had there. I kind of fell in love with them. At first they were a bit much, but as I listened and my ears became acclimated to their sound, I discovered a level detail and accuracy...

Noobie question here: I am getting ready to purchase an Integrated amp that has an internal DAC, but doesn’t have Bluetooth. I stream a lot of 32 bit from Tidal. I have noticed that a lot of higher end Bluetooth adapters have their own internal DAC and was wondering: is it best to plug it in to...

I am looking for a mid-level Integrated amp for my bedroom to drive a pair of Golden Ear Triton 5 speakers. Room is 15x18 with 11’ ceiling. My main focus will be on sound stage and detail. I am a singer so I listen mostly to vocals and how they are voiced. Any recommendations will help. Budget...

I am looking for a pair of in-wall speakers for my garage. I am running a whole home system with an Emotiva A-800 amp(50W per channel). I am trying to decide between the Hsu HIW-1 and the HTD HD-W80. The HTD has an 8” driver and costs $120 less, but I have heard great things about HSU products...

Hi guys. I am trying to determine whether or not to add external amplification to my AV Receiver. First, I have a very large space 4800 cubic feet that opens up to our kitchen behind. I don’t listen at extreme volumes. I have an Integra DRX-5 AVR and I am running a 5.2.2 speaker arrangement. My...

I am selling this great speaker due to downsizing. There is some cosmetic damage on one end of the soundbar from when it was shipped to me. This speaker works fantastically. No low-ball offers please. I will be posting pictures tonight. Here are the specs: Dimensions 49˝ (124.5 cm) W x 4-3/4˝...

Does anyone have any comparisons or recommendations on these two brands? I am looking at either the new passive Emotiva Airmotiv's or the Elac Uni-Fi's. I am still deciding between the bookshelves or towers. Here are my parameters: 16 x 16 Room with 11' tall ceilings. These will be used 100%...

$800 + Shipping (from DFW area). Brand new in box. Includes Klipsch WA-2 wireless adapter. I bought this and it does not meet WAF criteria. Brent Butterworth gave this sub a great review. I don't have any pics because it is still in it's shipping crate. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I need some feedback from the community. I have a large space (around 5k cu. ft.) in the new house and my old sub that I brought in the move doesn't seem to be filling the room. Here's the catch, the spouse wants me to get a smaller sub for aesthetic reasons so I am limited to 13 x 13 or so. My...

Does anyone have experience using an XBox One as Blue Ray Player? I could save some space in my cabinet if I knew how it compared to other Blue Ray players in SQ. I had read also that they support Dolby Atmos. My Receiver is an Integra DRX-5. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Ok I have narrowed my receiver choices down to two: Integra DSX-3 Marantz SR 5011 Both would be running Klipsch speakers. My question for anyone who has familiarity with these two brands. I will have a main room where I will be running a 7.2 surround and on my patio I will have two stereo...
