Looking at pictures and being at peoples houses, seems like people are mounting their TV's way too high. I thought he old rule of thumb was to try to center the TV vertically to your eyes in your seated position....Which is actually quite low for a large TV. I currently have my 85" at a height...

I wish the pic was a little clearer. Lighting was strange because he had recessed LED lighting that was set to actually rotate between different colors. Yeah. He's a bachelor.

I was at a coworker of my wife's house and he had a heck of a 2 channel setup. It was a house party so I never got a chance to ask him about it but I took a pic. They look like Perlistens as they had that distinct checkerboard speakers but I couldn't find these on Perlisten's website. Anyone...

Man-W is right about that receiver. I have the same issue with my Denon AVRX-3000. So much for buying ahead for future upgrades. My Sony UBP-x700 4k player has two HDMI outputs. One for Audio and Video and one With just audio. Since I only have Arc, the TV won’t pass along the dolby...

Why would the Xfinity guy at the Xfinity store lie to me about their own product? I'm sure it was based on what he's personally witnessed and not any official reliability data, but if anyone had insight into it it would someone who works there. If you say its fine, how many people did you...

I have Xfinity Comcast cable and when I asked them about getting a 4k cable box, the guy told me I shouldn't bother. That for the few 4k programs they have, it wasn't worth all the trouble they had been having with the boxes reliability-wise.

I do too. I purchased an 85X900H last year and its been great.

I was going to say the SB-1000 but then I saw your comment about wanting ported. Thats going to be tough to find even in a 10".

I'm in the same boat. I'm looking to replace a Denon AVRX-3000 that was sold to me as 4k around 2014 or so as well, , but also lacks the HDCP 2.1 so now I have everything going to the TV and coming in thru ARC except the Sony 4k blue ray player which must have anticipated this issue and has...

Seems like when the question of what receivers people are looking at or recommending, Sony is not a part of the discussion. Yet when I see professional reviews on them, they review really well. My first 5.1 receiver was a Sony that I purchased back around 1995 or so. It still works! I...

So I've setup Arc and its flaky for sure. I'll turn the TV on and it will often say "No signal" even though the cable box is on. I have to turn on the receiver on and then turn it off again for the cable TV to come up. Seems like the TV and/or receiver get confused on what that ARC channel...

I really like all these suggestions. I did a little research into each of them and of course when I got on the KEF website I was actually drawn to the Q750's which the towers aren't bad at about $800 each but its another $800 for the center. A little over my budget but it looks like Best buy...

I currently have a 5.1 system with Phase Technology Teatro series 6.5 center channel and Teatro 4.5 surrounds. The center has dual 5 1/4" woofers and 1" soft dome tweeter. The Surrounds have a 1" tweeter and a single 5 1/4" woofer. I'd be looking to get floor speakers for the L and R. My...

You got me. I made it up. :P:P:P:P Nah, JK. Here you go. https://www.svsound.com/blogs/svs/why-the-center-channel-is-the-most-important-home-theater-speaker From the above article...."The center channel carries roughly 70 percent of the entire soundtrack, and even more in specific...

I've been thinking about upgrading my speakers. I really like my HSU subwoofer but would upgrade everything else and maybe get a 2nd HSU. Given the following assumptions: 1) its use will be 95% Home theater. 2) The center channel is the most important speaker for Home Theater. 3) You should...

Speakers are a 5.1 setup. Phase Technology Teatro Series 6.5 center and 4.5 L/R and rears. Sub is a HSU vt2mk5. I currently own a Denon avr-x3000 and looking to upgrade probably when the new models come out. My X3000 can’t even handle the latest 4k security protocols. The area is a family...

OK. What better use of money. Denon AVRx-3700 + Monolith 5x (about $1300+ $1400) OR just a better receiver like a AVRX-6700. This is for a guy that would not go bigger than 7.2 and running sub/satellite speakers. I guess this gets to the heart of how much does a separate amp benefit a...

Yeah, mine are about 20 years old. The only problem I had was about a year ago, one of the tweeters went out. Fortunately I was able to get on the website and purchase a replacement. As you can see from he picture it was an easy fix. Just the 4 screws, pop it out and 2 quick disconnects...

I'm fairly new here. Here's my system with the new Sony X900H I purchased. (you can still see the packing material piled up on the right :)). I did slide it over a couple inches to the left since I took this pic. The system is as follows: - Sony XBR85X900H - Denon AVR-X3000 Receiver 5.1...

I've decided on picking up the Sony X700 4k blu ray this weekend. I did some research into it and it has 2 HDMI outputs. Seems like they expected people like me to have this problem with old receivers not passing 4k thru. One HDMI output is normal A/V but the 2nd one is just audio only. So...

Anyone know what kind of speaker this is? I saw it on a other website but there was no info.

I wanted to comment on your mention of 8k receivers. Isn’t my current problem really an argument though against early adaptation of newer technologies? When I bought my receiver I’m sure I was thinking it was great it had 4K....I‘ll be ready. But here I am...ready to go 4K ....and I‘m going...

What about using the ARC? If I bypass the receiver and put the 4k HDMI signal to the TV first, can I use the ARC to play the audio?

I’m Looking to get into 4K here soon starting with a new TV. I looked to see if my old Denon AVR-X3000 receiver could handle the 4K pass through and it does say on the Denon website... Support 4K video to enjoy 4 times higher resolution videos than current HD on larger displays and screens...

Is the tweater part of an assembly that’s screwed into the box? I had A blown tweeter on my phase tech 4.5’s and I looked up the manufacturer which is actually MSE audio. Called them and they sent me a replacement for $45. 3 screws and 2 quick disconnects was all it took.

I have Phase Technology Teatro 4.5 surrounds and 6.5 center. I was looking at the Emotiva Airmotiv C1+ Center.

Time sure flies as it seem like not that long ago I got my Denon AVRx3000 from my wife for Christmas. Then I see that the same model is up to to a revision AVRx3600 and then I’m reminded that mine is pretty old. It seems to work well, but Im wondering if I’m not getting the latest decoding And...

I'm not too happy with the sound of my center channel so I'm thinking about upgrading. My current speakers are all 8 ohm. Some of the centers I'm looking at are 4 ohm. I have a Denon AVR-X3000 receiver. Is it possible to run a 4ohm center with the rest of the speakers being 8ohm? I recall...
