home theater

Hello. Has anyone measured or tried in reality the "ultra thin" speakers from KEF? For our bedroom with limited space this seems like a good option cosmetically. But sound wise, I do not want it to be in the "soundbar" territory. We love our music and would love to have almost LS50 grade...

Hey, I originally sent this message as a DM to Amir. He suggested that I should be posting this in the Forums as well. I know this community is super helpful and knowledgable, but I was just holding back because I am a super new user. I will copy pasta the original message I sent to him in...

Hello ASR people! I'm working on assembling 2.0 speakers kit + diy stereo amp. And I'm thinking if I can extend this setup to use it as a home cinema system. I want to make it wireless splitting it to from speakers and rear speakers synced between two raspberry Pi + some fancy soft like Volumio...

I have a Marantz SR5010 and am wanting to upgrade. I'd like to get something with full HDMI 2.1 but we're still waiting on those to release it seems. My main question is do I go with another Marantz or similar AV Receiver, or buy separate AV Processor and AMP? So far all I've been able to...

Intrigued by Amirm's review of Anthem AVM60 A/V processor and having one unit available, I tried my hand at making quickly some measurements, to see where they fit together or not. I state that these results are very good, even if they are obtained in a less stressful situation. Amirm’s...

Hi, I've been looking at different setup options for a 7.1.4 home theater and I'd like to get some opinions from people that have experience with both passive and active speakers. I've never had the chance to hear a high end passive speaker home theater setup (or an active speaker one), but I am...

Aloha, how would you transfer the rear speaker signal(s) (source is an NVidia Shield Pro 2019) to rear speakers via LAN (or WLAN)? I would not like to lay cables across the living room but I have network sockets near the TV and near the position of the rears (and WLAN, of course). Passive...

I'm about to embark on the design of HT in a house we're remodeling. I've got plenty of room for a decent size and design (at least 10x6x23, room within a room, etc.). Searching the net, there's lots of sites that assert that the Golden Trapagon is the preferred shape. Few of these sites are...

I just bought a new home and I am plan to convert one of the rooms in the basement into a home theater. The room measurements are 19.6*14.9*7.8ft. I am thinking of going for a 7.2.4 system with the Focal Chora 826-d or klipsch 8060fa (floor standing front and rear pairs) 2 bookshelfs and a...

We'd appreciate some advice as to whether there would be any perceptible differences between the Audiocontrol Maestro X9 and Maestro X7, and whether the extra $3,000 retail, is worth paying for the X9, in the following use case: • The primary use is for a room that will serve as a home-theater...

I enjoy films and music in Stereo (PC -> DAC -> Rotel Amp -> ATC SCM20). I am aware that in my current setup where surround is downmixed, I'm losing the LFE channel. Furthermore, I am not currently running any sort of room correction. Finally, my partner is tired of fiddling with the PC to watch...
