Yep. There you have it. This is the excuse my wife routinely uses to get me into commercial theaters. Personally, I don't get it as I have hundreds of films in my collection, many of which I've never even gotten around to watching just yet. Add to that the rather vacuous nature of many of...

If you play your cards right [and with a little bit of luck] the world gets progressively more perfect [in this context anyway] as you age. In your case, when the time does come for your dedicated room it will undoubtedly be spectacular because it will have a very knowledgeable designer. I...

I've never heard of Alamo Drafthouse but we have similar places here. For larger gatherings I kind of see your point but for more intimate ones, [in my circle anyway] it's all about the company and atmosphere. We can bring in great food and drinks and have total control over the experience...

Your thinking is spot on. My room seats 5 and we've owned this particular home for as many years. In that time we've probably had an average of one full length group movie showing per year. I also usually do a Superbowl gathering but obviously not this year. I'm in my room almost daily. My...

They weren't random. They were intentionally added in the spirit of talk radio, unless you heard something I didn't.

Yep. https://www.soundandvision.com/content/denon-marantz-launch-audyssey-multeq-editor-app#:~:text=The%20app%20is%20compatible%20with,SR6011%2C%20SR5011%2C%20and%20NR1607.

<Begin Rant> I'm feeling a little let down by Marantz these days as the Audyssey Editor app isn't [and never will be] compatible with our AV7702 mkii's. That severely limits the level of control we have over what Audyssey actually does. Since they've decided to stick with Audyssey for the...

I personally went to separates after the Onkyo receiver I owned at the time kept shutting down. Sure, this only happened when I drove it pretty hard but it still bothered me. That's when I took a closer look at it's spec's and saw that the claimed 130 WPC I paid for was only with 2 channels...

I'll need to revisit the Podcast to put my talking points together first, but it's coming.

...And also prohibitively expensive to ship in many cases.

My D-Sonic M3a-1200S (800WPC into 8 ohms weighs in at a svelte 22Lbs and is barely warm to the touch, even with my 4 ohm speakers driven to reference levels. I really do believe Class D is the future for high end audio.

My amps are as follows: Outlaw 7140 - 140 WPC x7 into 8 ohms = 53.5 Lbs Acurus A200x3 - 200WPC x3 into 8 ohms = 45 Lbs D-Sonic M3A-1200S - 800WPC x2 into 8 ohms = 22Lbs

This was a great listen, guys. I kept wishing I could chime in and really drive that separates argument home. :)

I don't lose anyone because I never argue with people about how they choose to spend their own money. :) I just want folks to know the facts, assuming they're interested of course. All HDMI Pre/Pros are capable of handling video as it is required to superimpose the menus onscreen. I was...

I would just be looking to pass-through for HDMI 2.1 as no receiver or Pre/Pro is ideal for video processing. Although the better ones can certainly handle it, you're always better off letting your players handle that task. Like @JohnRice , I'm currently a Marantz guy but I'll probably be...

John and Sam together in the same [virtual] room? This will be EPIC!!! :)
