I would venture to say it's deeper.

After 16hz, it’s just greed.

Right?!?! I always ask. How low do Wanna spend? Can’t knock rookies though. You don’t really know until you’ve been there.

Yes! Exactly. My checkbook stopped at about 14.5hz. Ugh… been squirreling away though. I can fit four devastators, and afforded it!
Probably not as easy as my wife can fit her foot up my a$$ though…..

You only need one Dev, with the Eminence NSW 21”.
Then you need a 24” SI.

DIY… that’ll be about 2k for the drivers. 3-400 to build the cabinets. Then you just need a power plant.

I was thinking of four 18’s but a couple 24” would be STOOPID!!!!
The hard part is mamma, but the build sheet I proposed is much easier to digest than a pair of fv25’s. Or four fv18’s.
Still. It IS my LR so I have to find a somewhat elegant solution.

I believe there’s a single word to describe this very thing. It is…
MOAR!!!

Finally got my phone to pair with the music cast app to my RX-A4A.

You should share with others what you did to get it to work. Unless of course like Gene's review it's Top Secret Ravioli.

I feel like a dumba$$ , really very easy. You see where it says, Menu (connect) can't miss it but my dumba$$ did! So umm yeah I likea Music cast now!!
It tells you to hold it for 5 seconds. I was holding in the select for 5 seconds all this time. As your holding the (connect) it beeps five times than in big letters on the display it says connected!

I was going to suggest it was probably an ID (10) T error but I left it alone...

Sometimes it's the simplest things that become the biggest issues.

Welcome to the MusicCast Club, Mike!

Best WiFi Remote and Music Streaming app in the whole wide world.

Meanwhile, I am waiting on Yamaha to release the CX-A5300 or whatever they call it next (CX-A9A ?) so I can "upgrade" my CX-A5100.

No.
You never want to connect both outputs from the AVR to a single Sub.
To clarify, you run a single output to a "Y" splitter, plugging Both Ends of the "Y," 1 each, into the L and R Inputs on the Plate Amp of the Sub.

Yep, this ^

I agree that it's not worth it if your output is fine, but I was having issues on A8A and this resolved them.

Think something like the 5300 would work for me as well in a few years after the dust settles on HDMI 2.1... Not in a hurry though. I don’t use PS5 or Xbox.

What's the REAL reason you're thinking of upgrading?

I don't really have a real reason to upgrade from my CX-A5100 other than to be able to rename my Scenes on MusicCast like on the RX-A3080 and probably CX-A5200 and newer models.

Not sure if it will ever settle according to this article...

A lot of other HDMI revisions had similar issues. HDMI is just a garbage standard in general, but companies being shady about versioning sure doesn't help.
