    The Dolby Atmos Home Theater Paradox

    Agreed Daredevil sounds fabulous on Netflix. I wish they had more than 13 episodes/season. What the hell is that? AppleTV doesn't pass DD+ as a bitstream? I know my Amazon FireTV does. Maybe check your settings again?

    RSL Speedwoofer 10S Subwoofer Review

    Believe it or not, corner loading 2 subs in the front of the room can give very good results if you have EQ capability.

    I hope not. The show is ok but I just think it would be a cheese fest if they tried to make a movie out of it. I also hope they don't do an Arrow movie b/c season 4 of Arrow was painful to watch. The worst enemy of season 4 besides Felicity is the writers!

    Nordost?

    The burden of proof is NOT on us, it is on YOU! You are making claims that deny peer reviewed science and repeatability in controlled blind testing. Most electricians I've met at least have a little basis in EE theory to recognize the audio cable industry is laced with snake oil and unprovible...
