    RPi4 + CamillaDSP Tutorial

    Caveat - I've only gotten through the first 14 or so pages of this thread so apologies if I'm repeating old news... Firstly, @mdsimon2, thanks for a great write-up/tutorial. By using it I've been able to get camilladsp working on a RPi3B+ alongside OSMC. Audio is sent over USB to my 2-ch DAC...

    Upgrade itch - adding DSP - objectively "best" option...

    Just because its an old design doesn't mean it's not good though. And it's still a currently offered by Genelec / in their range so they must still be happy enough with it. I'm worried that if I downsize to the 8330, the WAF will prevent me from ever upgrading to 8341's, whereas if I keep the...

    Upgrade itch - adding DSP - objectively "best" option...

    A month ago I was heavily leaning towards the 8330/8340 route but now I've pretty much decided on the Flex balanced for exactly this reason. Though I've recently seen a pair of Neumann KH310's come up second-hand for a decent price... Yea, I've been indecisive for quite a while now and have...

    Why do cinema and music Dolby Atmos layouts differ?

    Only for the surrounds. Not the heights which is what you asked about right? Or did I misinterpret your OP? If so, sorry.

    Why do cinema and music Dolby Atmos layouts differ?

    I had a flick through some of the layouts in the link you provided. Didn't think they were very detailed w.r.t. angles between all the speakers. This is the youtube video: Ignore the clickbait title, I thought it had some decent information in it. In the description of the video he links to...

    Why do cinema and music Dolby Atmos layouts differ?

    I watched a youtube video a few days ago that highlighted that the Atmos specifications for the home theatre are vague and missing information compared with the pdf manuals for setting up a studio or cinema. Could that be the difference? Basically the video recommended using the recommended...

    Genelec 8331A Powered SAM Studio Monitor Review (by Erin)

    As others have said - nice set up! I was wondering what the speaker stands were? Wouldn't mind a pair for my 8040b's....

    Upgrade itch - adding DSP - objectively "best" option...

    Been thinking about adding DSP to my system (see signature) for a while but haven't pulled the trigger on spending the money. The options are: Add MiniDSP Flex Digital. Pros: cheapest, least faff option; can upgrade my DAC later/separately. Cons: 2-channel only; another box; adding a...

    Genelec setups in living rooms [how to]

    Asthetically I like this one the most of those posted so far. Will try to post a photo of my own set up when I'm back home later in the week.

    Spec a "dream" home theatre (within a budget)

    Haha, yeah, you should see my spreadsheets and "wiring" diagrams... Perhaps a dump question - what's the difference between an AVR and AVP? Does the receiver only have a pre-amp while the processor also includes an integrated power-amp? As far as I know OSMC on the Pi can currently decode all...

    Nice! Seems like a great set up. Glad to know that what I hoped existed actually does haha

    Spec a "dream" home theatre (within a budget)

    Fair comment and I see you point. Perhaps it wasn't clear in my overly long OP :) that, with the exception of my current speakers, every speaker that follows is ultimately used in the final system. What's initially the L/R (8330's) become the surrounds when I step up to 8331's. I had reasoned...

    Spec a "dream" home theatre (within a budget)

    Is the screen retractable or fixed in place? (I haven't looked into projectors + screens in detail yet.)

    Surround Processor Recommendation for Genelec! Yamaha Vs Denon Vs Canton Smart Connect.

    Ah, woops. I stand corrected. It was the 8331's that only feature a single XLR... No, I don't (yet) own 8330's. My current system is only 2ch based on 8040B's. I was planning out a "affordable dream" system. See this thread. My conclusion RE delivering Atmos/DTS:X digitally was that it's not...

    Surround Processor Recommendation for Genelec! Yamaha Vs Denon Vs Canton Smart Connect.

    No worries. I spent my Christmas holiday going down a similar rabbit hole to you (i.e. trying to figure out how to get Atmos/DTS:X delivered digitally to Genelecs...). One small detail to be aware of, the Genelec 8330's only feature a single XLR connector that can be used for either digital or...

    Surround Processor Recommendation for Genelec! Yamaha Vs Denon Vs Canton Smart Connect.

    The manual for the 9301 shows how you can link two together to give a total of 16 digital channels.

    Spec a "dream" home theatre (within a budget)

    Yeah kinda am. Neither I nor my partner like the aesthetics of large TV screens. Ultimately, I envision having a room that doubles as a library and living room with AV system. The main seating/couch would face a bay window, projector screen would be retracted unless in use meaning I can sit on...

    Spec a "dream" home theatre (within a budget)

    [mods please move or delete if in appropriate] I watched Dune the other month and was, almost literally, blown away by the audio. As a result, I started thinking about what my "affordable dream" home cinema set up would actually consist of. I'm now very far down the rabbit hole :) and hoping...
