+1 @thespeakerdude Buy the best LG OLED TV you can afford and you’ll be thrilled. It also does high dynamic range (HDR) and when it’s available in the program material the picture totally pops — assuming you have the picture settings set right. Also, if 2-channel is important, upgrade your streamer to something like Innuos, Lumin, or the best you can afford. The Node is ok, but streamers are critical and moving up to the next level will make a big difference in your stereo performance. No idea about video streaming devices, but glad you’re enjoying your great new system.
Improving the Musicality of a Home Theather
My journey in the last year has been somewhat mind blowing. I changed out 20 year old Proceed AVP, Revel F30 gen 1, Adcom GFA5500, and a Higher end Arcam CD Player. New system consists of Anthem AVM70 11.1 processor, Anthem MCA 525 Gen 2 225x5, Revel M126Be bookshelves mains and center channel, B&W surrounds rear and overhead , Bluesound Gen 3 Node Streamer and Pioneer Elite Plasma and Blue Ray Player. The amplifier is still breaking in, but I must say the system sounds incredible on 5.2.1. (Velodyne powered sub). I want to know if upgrading the Blue Ray to an Apple or similar Video streamer would be worth the investment? If not, I can stream native formats thru the Anthem processor.
I realize this site tends to focus on great 2 channel sound, which I also appreciate. But I was hoping to resonate with the home theater crowd out three?
any help on cables or alternate sources would be greatly appreciated.
