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

[panteragstk]

Got me an LG 65" A1 OLED TV to replace my Vzio 70" E series from a few years ago due to the Vizio turning purple.

There is no contest as to which is the better TV. I can finally say I have a TV that bests my aging VT60 plasma picture.

Best part is I got it at a steal of a deal at under $600 out the door! Can't believe it was discounted so much.

KEF Q150 were on sale again, so I bought a 3rd set last night. Getting closer to my 13.3 channel set up now. These will be side surrounds for the front row (other 2 sets are rear surrounds and side surrounds for the back row). Just need 4 Atmos speakers and a 3rd subwoofer now.

I would rather JB than BR... but that's just me. Of course, while I fully respect JT and some of his work, he's not really my speed either.
Still, sounds like it would be a great show if this is your speed.

Tickets were a Christmas gift for my wife. Last few shows that I saw at our arena were John Fogerty, Deep Purple and ZZ Top.

I decided to finally get into the world of seperates/pre pros. I'll be an early adopter of a new 13.3 pre pro I'd been looking at for months. It's a "new" company called Tonewinner. I didn't want to spend 4k$ plus on one, so I bought the "budget" AT-300 for about 1800$ Canadian Pesos. It's been getting positive press (for the most part) over on the AVS forums. It arrived yesterday. I'm fairly impressed with the build quality and the calibration microphone is very nice. I wasn't able to fully hook it up last night, as I'm awaiting the XLR cables I bought from Amazon to arrive (will be here Thursday).

@Danzilla31 now I need some Atmos speakers, another amp (going to use the RX-A2040 for now), and another subwoofer. I already bought another set of KEF Q150 for front row side surrounds.

Cool. Looking forward to your first hand impressions.

Damn, Bonnie Raitt was replaced with Jackson Brown for the James Taylor show. He's a good performer but I really wanted to see Bonnie. Rescheduled for April in London.

I got to see Bonnie back in the 80s at an epic show: Amnesty International. She opened for a few other small acts - Peter Gabriel, The Police and U2. She's great live.

I'll let you know when I get it set up. What I'm really looking forward to, is the full 13.3 setup I'm working towards. Unfortunately, that won't come to fruition until sometime next year when we reno the house. My plan is to (possibly) expand the HT room, but for sure I'm recarpeting in there and when I do I'm opening up the drywall to run the side surrounds through the walls, as well as the Atmos speakers.

For now, it'll be a 9.2 until the reno (next summer most likely).

Had to buy a new low profile floor jack. The old one was too tight a fit since I got coilovers.

If I didn't already have 2 Defiance X12s, I'd probably be interested

Do a google search for "tonewinner vs. emotiva".

It seems that Tonewinner is most likely one of the OEMs for Emotiva gear, they may be OEM for other brands too.

Make of that what you will. Many of us have some Emotiva gear, and mostly we like what we have. It's just that Emo seems to have lost their way and their value over the last 5 or so years.

With that being said, I am quite interested in your experience with this product.

And a very special shout out to Nick at Stereo Integrity. He has been an excellent resource and diligent business owner. My original order from him, he could have easily upsold me to a different product in his lineup, but when he heard what I was doing, he targeted what product was right for me. He has now on several occasions taken calls from me to answer questions and give me the support every small business should give their customers.

Once delivered, I will have SIX of the drivers...

Now I need to shop for some AMPS!

Nice. Anybody using their mids and tweets for DIY builds? Build quality looks really good.

Okay, got Yamaha's RX-A4A coming in by Monday or Tuesday! I know you guys know I just got the A2A in about two weeks ago. I got a text from Andrew, said he got a email in from his distributor that they now have the A4A in ready to ship! So I boxed up my A2A and sent it back for a refund. No nothing was wrong with it absolutely not one issue. The RX-A4A was my first choice. So it will be here by next week.

I talked to Nick about that and he was going to play around with it.
The mid-woofs are clearly designed for car audio with the minimal depth of the motor. Even those he said would work in a cabinet, though, but more ideal in an infinite baffle/car door.
The Tweeter performance looks pretty good, but for the cost, I think you can do better.
The Carbon Midrange has a lot of appeal to me. It's small enough to play cleanly up to a good transition at the upper end of the Speach Band, but it won't go as low very efficiently...
I could see a small 3-way or even a 4-way making good use of that driver.

These arrived today:

5 Monoprice XLR cables from Amazon. Maybe I'll get the new pre pro hooked up tonight.
