What is the Bu-ray plauyer that you are using?
Strangely, in reviews on BD players from Oppo, Pioneer and/or other brands, it's been claimed that some players have better movie sound quality than that for CD, SACD and other audio-only playback, and vice versa.  Assuming this is true, I would...

a Sony A80j 65" oled in 22 and in the family room in 23 the A85 Sony oled. Both sets are google OS and have been problem free. Subject: HELP! Will A95L Stutter with DVDs and Youtube Downloads? I can’t believe that Sony’s top model OLED TV has ...

This week with hundreds in Sony Card points it’s time to buy a new TV. It’s probably laughable to those here but I don’t subscribe to any streaming or even basic cable service. I get news via internet, NY Times, et al. Except for free services l...

But again, don’t you guys get some kind of eyestrain if or because your field of vision is overshot by your > 55” or > 65” screen size? I ask this because of this supremely relevant post by Dave in Green: THX recommends a “best seat-to-scr...

I took my centre speaker over to two friends' who also believed a centre was not necessary, and after trying a few films with/without, they both bought a centre speaker and said it (watching a film), was a MUCH more involving experience with a mo...

A word on center channel: Yes, center channel is the way to go. One consideration is room acoustics (or lack of them). When using 2 speakers to produce an "phantom" center channel, you have energy emitting from 2 speakers (often close to room bo...

I’m barely 8’ from my 65” screen. My best tv is a 55” Oled in the bedroom. I don’t do surround sound anymore because the living room size has gotten much smaller. I miss the days of having a 20x25’ room. Those days are long gone.    I wouldn’t ...

You may not have room for this, but I offer this recommendation because it was a wonderful solution for 2 channel main systems. AWOL makes short throw laser projections and screens specially made for this purpose. Yes, I sure considered this bu...

When you go to the movies (do people still do that?) where do you sit?  How immersive  do you want the experience?  I usually try to sit where the screen fills my whole field of vision so usually try for the seats behind to the crossing isle. M...

revel’s 226be is a nice sounding slender speaker if you ever wanted more room but I think they lack dynamics/snap next to a good horn. I would keep the horn and rock the phantom center. I watch a lot of vintage BDs from the 50s through the 70s....

Bigger=better every time. NAFTA hasn’t really changed my TV viewing habits. Don’t mean to rant, but yes, I sure can thank NAFTA legislators, the transnational investor elites they serve and conspirators like these bums for driving up the cost ...

Thanks guys for the great feedback, though things aren’t good with a second look at the numbers. James’ room looks at least 50% bigger than mine, here on obscenely overpopulated, overtaxed Long Island, where the price of living space is equally ob... 
List of most high end analog active crossovers ever made.
The B4 is unbelievably versatile: high-pass and low-pass 1st/2nd/3rd/4th-order filters in 25Hz increments from 25Hz to 6375Hz. All discrete (Toshiba Jfets), no opamps or IC’s. I have three speakers and would leave the tweeter passively crossed.... 
Best Sounding L/R Speakers for DVD/BD Movie Sound? > $4K/pair
Speakers from Harman are real easy to listen to due to them having a drop of about 5db from bass to treble. They are detailed still but just an easy listen. I had a pair of 228be and while not by favorite speaker I owned they were outstanding for... 
Best Sounding L/R Speakers for DVD/BD Movie Sound? > $4K/pair
They are great speakers and very faithfully reproduce whatever is on the disk. Okay, but as I pointed out movie audio quality like the BD Edition of North by Northwest may comprise perhaps only 25% of my collection. So such speakers might disap...
