I used to use DVD Profiler, but when I checked, it looks like it hadn't been updated in a while. I have been using My Movies, but it does have its issues. The iPhone app is pretty good. It is speedy, easy to search, easy to add titles (barcode scanner), and easy to create custom filters. The...

The "My Movies" database/app, which I use to catalog my collection, does it strictly digit by digit, so 300 comes before The 39 Steps. I wonder how a library card catalog would handle this.

I see people actively avoiding the Denon 3700 in favor of the 3600 due to the 8k or 120Hz bug or whatever it is. Is there a reason to do this other than just getting a better deal on an older model? If you aren't gaming, is there any reason to avoid the 3700? Does the bug affect 4k blu ray watching?

Thanks for all of the advice. I ended up ordering a single Rythmik FV18 PC for now, and plan on getting a second one down the road. I ultimately chose the Rythmik over the PSA as it is cheaper and a little narrower, so despite the height, I find it easier to integrate into my room.

The PSA 2112 is $2200. How does it compare to the SVS PB-16 Ultra for only $300 more?

I got the MiniDSP and ran the EQ process. The curve looks better I guess. I am now strongly leaning to starting with a single 18" and upgrading to dual later. Options : Rythmik FV18 - so tall that it will hit the bottom of my TV. I am going to have to move it from in between the console and...

Ok thanks. How is that typically done? Through EQ? I will check if my receiver has an adjustable curve. If not, I guess MiniDSP?

Made a few tweaks and ran again. This time I selected L+R output. MACAAC tried to set my crossover to 150Hz, but I don't think my subs can play it. You can see in the first graph a massive drop. I moved it down to 100Hz (the next setting), and it looks better (second image). I also set my subs...

OK so I ran this, and my output looks like this. I really don't know if this is bad or not.

One issue I am concerned about is that some of the bass-heavy scenes can create a somewhat unpleasant pressure in my ears/head. If I get something much more powerful, I am concerned this will become worse.

You might have issues getting the best sound formats (Atmos and DTS:X) if you use an optical cable to send the sound to the receiver. I am not sure, but the eARC HDMI port on your TV might work to send audio to an HDMI input on the receiver. I have never tried this setup, so I cannot comment on...

The 4900 ft^3 includes the one other open space that has a roughly 9-10ft opening. This is all behind the main listening area. There is also a 3' wide hallway that I am not including. The main listening area is about 3900 ft^3. The basement is concrete, but there is sheetrock on the walls and...

I've been looking exclusively at ported, as this will be for home theater only, and that seems to be the recommendation. To get the output I need from sealed subs, it looks like I would have to spend considerably over my budget, as most recommendations say that, ideally, I should be looking at...

I haven't looked at that one. 2 of those still takes me over budget, but in the range of the dual PB-3000s. How does this sub compare to the PSA TV1512 or the HSU VTF-15?

I am looking to upgrade my pair of Atlantic Technology PBM 350. These are 20+ years old, have a 12" driver, and a 200 watt built-in amp. I believe I paid $450 each. It looks like subwoofers have come a long way in the last 20 years, so I was looking to upgrade. I feel that these are only able to...
