    How to start?

    Sorry to hijack the thread, but I also was considering an Xbox One X as my bluray/streaming player as well. I mostly stream from Sling and other apps, rarely use bluray, but would like 4K UHD availability for both my use cases. The Xbox One X (or PS4 Pro) is never a box I am going to struggle...

    ELAC Debut 2.0 B5.2 vs B&W 686 S2 Bookshelf Speakers

    Yes, David, it will be up against the back of the bookshelf speakers. This is our main living that my wife wants nothing that stands out, so bookshelf speakers are the cleanest way to go. That's why I was thinking sealed or front ported bookshelf speakers. My TV is mounted above the...

    ELAC Debut 2.0 B5.2 vs B&W 686 S2 Bookshelf Speakers

    I guess that is a "wife acceptance" problem, but at the same time, I'd also like it to not be passed the end of the shelf. If you have a different proposal for bookshelf speakers that are under 11" (if I rig an extension), with a center channel...I'm all ears. In total, I don't mind spending...

    ELAC Debut 2.0 B5.2 vs B&W 686 S2 Bookshelf Speakers

    Thanks, John. The 6.2 has a 10.55" depth. I can probably gain another inch or two if I wanted to try to build an extension, but I would need to weigh the advantages for the extra work, as well as the extra money compared to the ones I'm already looking at. If I ended up rigging for the extra...

    ELAC Debut 2.0 B5.2 vs B&W 686 S2 Bookshelf Speakers

    Hey everyone, Basic questions from someone who doesn't know much about audio. I'm looking to purchase some bookshelf speakers, and the reason for the specific ELAC and B&W speakers chosen is because I have a depth limitation that prohibits me spending more money. If I had another 3-4 inches...

    Home Theater System: Good or Bad?

    Thank you for the reply schan. I understand now and having Zone 2 capabilities is a big plus. Although, the THD with the 515 is .7% and the Pioneer is .08%. Would that make a big difference when I turn it up loud?

    Home Theater System: Good or Bad?

    Awesome, I'm really liking this receiver and its features. Also, Crutchfield offers it, and I heard they had great customer service which is always a plus. I do have one question though, I read over and over how the Pioneer doesn't have Zone 2 capabilities. Could you clarify what this is...

    Home Theater System: Good or Bad?

    I don't need anything more than a 5.1 Channel receiver. Unless there is a reason for not getting what I picked out, at least a good reason, then I'm just going to stick with the speakers and receiver (the Pioneer) that I picked. I'm not trying to be rude, but I don't see a significant...
