It would be possible to train/fine-tune a model to help it get close to your style of writing and also attending to facts only...

    End Game Speakers - The Quest Continues

    You may be aware of this already?: https://www.spinorama.org/scores.html?sort=scoreEQWSUB&reverse=false I would weight third party reviewed data more in the sorted list. Regardless of speaker, good room correction, room treatment will be necessary for most folks. Do you have a dedicated...

    Integra DRX-8.4 at $3.2k is closer to $2k. They seem to have better DACs.

    which amp would be "better"

    All good amps sound the same ie they attempt to amplify the source without adding distortion. If you want this then start with Fosi audio v3 300w (can be used as monoblock) for $81 or May be with larger power supply at $140. Start with one and if not enough based on distance you sitting from the...

    Quest for AVR with 96dB+ SINAD with balanced XLR pre outs \w optional AMP stage

    16bit resolution is 96db and 15 channels is atmos for home theater with multiple subs. Not far fetched

    Quest for AVR with 96dB+ SINAD with balanced XLR pre outs \w optional AMP stage

    What is wrong with my expectation? I admit I am ignorant of economics of making such a device. But my expectations are in line, I want fully balanced XLR to eliminate noise in long cable runs, I am only asking for pre out and not amplified so 11.4 is 15 channels. Marantz cinema 40 is $3.5k, cut...

    Using TV as center channel speaker ?

    Can I do this by simple plugging in center channel pre out to TV rca input ?. Large TVs leave no room for a proper center channel placement when optimal viewing angle is considered. Anyone doing this ?. Are recent TVs good enough to be a center channel only speaker?.

    Quest for AVR with 96dB+ SINAD with balanced XLR pre outs \w optional AMP stage

    Prefer to pay less than 2k, need hdmi 2.1 with Dirac support. I don’t care for an AMP stage. But it seems to me such AVR is like $6k or more ? Like marantz AV10 etc. I can’t believe I can get a 100” TV for less . Monoprice or emotiva are you listening? May be I should just use TV to decode...
