JBL MA7100HP AV Receiver Review

[andrewskaterrr]

I'm not convinced the "IMAX Enhanced" feature is something desirable. AFAICT, all it does it mess with your crossover setting. Otherwise, it's identical to just getting the DTS mastering of the soundtrack. Is there something I'm missing? If my AVR had that feature, I'd turn it off with the information I have now.

I wanted to mention this but I figured he knew and/or would get backlash. To my knowledge that is correct, and why I don't care about IMAX Enhanced anymore especially since no one uses it. Disney+ is now using IMAX Enhanced but it's not REAL IMAXE, so it doesn't matter either. You want crossovers in a small room as bass waves are longer than the room, unlike a theater where they could use this feature.

I just got a JBL MA9100HP to try for 60 days and so far the setup was very easy. The sound is very good in stereo with my Revel speakers and SVS sub. Roon works fine. Sound stage is very good and clarity is excellent. Very early in the testing and all jazz so far. Definitely better musically than my Denon X3800H to my ears.

Will do the calibrations later before I test movies and surround as that seems to be the major issue in most reviews.

UPDATE: Will post any follow-ups over here so as not to split threads and go off topic. I apologize for not thinking.

JBL goes Dirac Live ready and Class-D

That is also an unfair comparison.
