    A thread for testing $2000-$2500ish subwoofers

    You might want to ask Dave Moritz, a long time member. He acquired this model several months ago and has nothing but praise for it's performance. I think his neighbors 2 blocks away might agree with him LOL This is a nice read for multiple subs...

    The DVD day’s are numbered.

    I missed the art and the covers so much when the vinyl went out. Did not miss the pops and ticks though. Yes there were some records that sounded better than the CD and vice versa too. That was not so much the medium as much as the recording process. The lack of control and standards over the...

    The DVD day’s are numbered.

    Found myself at Walmart yesterday and the old lady had to use the restroom. It is located in the back of the store next to the electronic appliances section and the media too. Saw DVDs for sale at 5$. Very good deal for those who still have the use. The memories of DVD on the old Proton 625...

    The DVD day’s are numbered.

    And pay 30$ for vinyl too. Wait a minute that IS nuts. Lookout here comes cassettes back from the dead. Some bands are releasing new music on cassettes.

    The DVD day’s are numbered.

    I am a dinosaur and old is the beginning. I miss sooooo much going into Blockbuster and just looking at all the tapes and reading the description of the movies while smelling popcorn and hearing all the kids so excited that it is movie night and the whole atmosphere of being social and waiting...

Can anyone say 10k? Yes it is on it's way and your setup can handle more than that. Please post pics and be...

    Building A Home Theater? Start Here.

    This is another guide that has more new information to me. The width of the front speakers should match the display if possible, of course it must be fairly large. Also information on head occlusion when sitting on a couch with people to the right and left of you. It shows how to put the...

    I read way too much but in the end the info will go to good use. You can't keep a good man down LOL

    Building A Home Theater? Start Here.

    Brian it is because it isn't the best way to do it. I am lucky I had the delays I did because the Auro way is the best way. Do some research on the Auro vids on YouTube, and I wish you could invite Wilfried on as a guest on your Podcast someday. I am still going to have all 9 speakers the same...

    So bumped into a better source for mounts of any kind. I can't share the full catalog PDF it is too large to attach. But here is a link. I got my gear back up and running, a new OLED hung on the wall, center channel on an expanding shelf at same exact tweeter height as the mains, and have mounts...

    Elac Atmos Speakers

    They look awesome Clinton! Did you think of putting a super reflective material on the ceiling like glass or something like that. You could use mirrors to find the exact spot where it hits the ceiling. The old trick of finding the first reflection off the side walls is to sit down and move a...

    Elac Atmos Speakers

    I am out of the rabbit hole. I have committed to mounting above the front R and L and above the rear R and L and tilting towards the seating position. I will let you know how it comes out. I purchased mounts that hold 20lbs and the speakers CM5s are a little over 11lbs. Everything is on the way...

    Check this out at the 10 minute mark. One layout for all codecs.

    Elac Atmos Speakers

    Clinton you may have saved yourself a headache by not ceiling mounting them. Dolby has come round to copying the angle or height if you will of Auro. One set up or one speaker placement is good for all three codecs, Atmos, DTSX, and the best of the rest Auro. I was going to mount floorstander...

    New home construction with home theatre in the basement

    Sorry for the amount of time involved in the info, but it is a large amount of questions and answers to how, and why. I don't expect anyone to dive that deep but it is thorough, and leaves me thinking that a better result is with the layout that Auro developed. I am sure being off a little here...

    Anthem AVM 60 Unless something changed when I first got it they stated I could get the DTS for an extra charge. Notice top right DTSX ready? Ready for me to pay more LOL

    New home construction with home theatre in the basement

    Damn, they should give it to you for free. I have the same problem with my Pre-pro it came with Atmos and it is extra for DTSX, they don't even offer Auro. Dolby must have paid everyone off. Just doesn't seem fair.

    New home construction with home theatre in the basement

    Great John. If anyone can get to the bottom of all this info it would be you I am sure. I can't wait to try out my new small speakers in this way. I am going to try 4 ADS CM5s. Bigger than my last small ones but not huge by no means. I thought you had Auro built in. I talk to Dave Moritz alot...

    New home construction with home theatre in the basement

    This video from Denon states that the proper elevation of the height speakers is half the distance between the Left and Right speakers. Finally an easy formula to start with. One setup for all 3 codecs!

    New home construction with home theatre in the basement

    Ok I am not trying to hi-jack Eddies thread, but since he is in the middle of commiting. This is somewhat related to his build. This question goes out to both Johns, and Brian as well. I have been in limbo for 5 years with my system because my daughter moved back home with a new granddaughter...

    They probably make the Chinese players in Wuhan in some lab. I don't like Chinese electronics.

    Elac Atmos Speakers

    Malcolm what model AVR is the Denon? Something doesn't sound right to me. I want to read the owners manual. You maybe can run a signal out of a pre amp output to an external amp for expansion.
