Thanks everyone. Unfortunately I'm only here for the week. They had this system "custom" installed many years ago and (in my opinion) were taken advantage of... We upgraded their TV a couple years ago to a smart TV so they could get Netflix and Amazon. We also upgraded them to a basic Denon...

No easy ID of brand (even behind the grill). No adjustable tweeter. Mounting below TV not as option given layout of room. My thought was a wedge (thick at top, skinny at bottom) between the flange and wall. I can't get a picture loaded right now. Looks like night be out of luck.

Visiting the in-laws and their set up has 3 in wall speakers above their TV (about 6' up). They are having a hard time hearing dialogue. A thought I had is to install a "wedge" between the wall and the speaker to add a downward tilt to the speaker to aim the tweeter at their ears. I think even a...

I documented the "from scratch build" in my old house on this forum through questions and other posts. Search my old posts from 2003-2005...I then have some sprinkled in since then as well. I cover room dimensions, seating distance (which factors into room dimensions) wall/ceiling construction...

I don't have an answer, but I am still rocking 22 year old BP2002's!

When I painted my dedicated home theater in my old house, I used all dark colors and flat gloss (which I don't recommend - it scuffs like crazy). My wall were a deep red and deep blue, my screen wall and ceiling were a very dark gray (almost black). I also installed extra lighting to...

I have 2 shields and use them for online streaming, NAS streaming, and TV viewing (I record TV to the Plex Server on the NAS although the shield can run a Plex Server as well). No issues with any sound formats...in fact it is why I switched from my Raspberry Pis and Rokus...more formats...

also no XLR need here... Good luck!

I have 2 shields running in my house, one in the dedicated theater and the other in the living room setup. I had Kodi running on a Raspberry Pi for several years, but switched to Plex on the shields. The shield can run the Plex Server (with a USB drive), but my Plex server is on my QNAP NAS...

I did this twice (two different houses) with an Buffalo Electronics system. I ran 4-22 wire in the walls from the front to the back of the room. The repeater (IR-350) sits just under my center speaker and then the distribution block (IR-100) and distributes the flashers (IR-E1). In my old...

Thanks everyone. A couple of notes/comments regarding comments above: One point of clarification - it is the video and audio that stutter...sometimes at the same time, sometimes separately. - I ran DMZ+ for a bit but nuked that when I go the Orbi. Managing the quirks was too much of a PIA -...

Evening everyone. I wanted to see if anyone else has had issues with streaming Amazon. We started the 4th season of Man in the High Castle and the video stutters or pauses several times through the episode. Everything has the latest firmware/updates and I have rebooted everything. Hardwired...

I have owned 4 Denon's now (and a Yamaha and Onkyo) and never had any issues...only reason I got new ones was for the new tech (HDMI, Atmos, etc.). I have 2 of them running in my house now. I would go back to slipperbidness and look to other issues. I have all my equipment on surge/UPS and...

We cut the cable/sat cord over 7 years ago and never looked back. We have AT&T gig fiber with a total bill of $73.98/month. Also have Netflix and Amazon Prime (can't see the value yet of Disney+). Have an OTA antenna on the roof run through my NAS using HDHomerun and Plex for DVR. Can't say I'm...

Do I need a new AV Receiver? - the answer is always "Yes, yes I do need a new receiver!" But seriously, I would trouble shoot the wifi first. Have you recently changed your service? did the gateway/modem/router recently update its firmware? Did you change anything? Is there a firmware update...

Sports definitely are the tricky piece and but I have found more on network TV in recent years (and you can stream Thursday Night Football through Amazon Prime)

[get on soap box] Keep in mind that cutting the cord is supposed to save you money...which means you will need to give some stuff up. If you try to recreate cable or satellite service offerings (Hulu plus live TV, ESPN+, NFL, Amazon, Netflix, Disney+, AppleTV, HBO MAX, etc.) you can actually...

So I know this answer doesn't directly address your question as I'm suggesting a different route if you can. I installed an antenna on the roof and pick up over the air (which is also free and usually not compressed!). I then use an HDHomerun to tune it and allow me to "stream" it is any TV in...

Well that makes a lot more sense
