Wow. I go away for a week, come home and read through all of my updates from my subscribed threads, and then BAM. I see another great HTF contest! Thanks for putting this together with SVS. Love the SVS sub I have (even if it is from 2004). Would be nice to have another, more modern one.
Ever since hearing Atmos for the first time at CEDIA 2014, I knew that I was hooked. Problem is that to get a decent setup costs a decent amount of money. As a full on DIYer, I had to put a lot of elbow grease into my modest home theater, but when it comes to electronics, there is no way to...
I am working towards my ideal setup with a 7.2.4 configuration, but it is slow going with bills and "life" (who doesn't have these problems).
I have the "7.2" setup (I know, it is just 7.1 with dual subwoofers), and I swapped out my surrounds last year for monopoles to prep for Atmos. Just...
I already have a 7.2 setup that I have been prepping for Atmos. I would take this receiver and add overhead speakers to really get a truly immersive experience. After experiencing Atmos at CEDIA 2014, I have wanted to incorporate it into my home theater, however like most of us, "life" always...

Insurgent.

I figured that it must be a choice.
I own all of the others but Jupiter and it was pretty ho-hum for me. Even my teenage daughter who...
I agree with a few others about Pope. While he can drive you nuts most of the time, Pope's character is a lot more complex and deep than most/all of the others. On the surface, a tough "I look out only for number one" kind of guy, but he has moments of pure heroism when faced with situations...
Back with my first DIY home theater in 1999, I had a 10 speaker, 2 subwoofer setup. Searching for ways to create an immersive soundfield. With limited funds, but a yearning for more, I had to engineer ways to get everything to seamlessly flow around the room (including a few home grown "mixers"...
I know. It was kind of a last minute thing. Might do some keynote stuff Wednesday, and then have all day Thursday, but that is it. I fly out at 6:15am on Friday.
