Hi,when in stereo bypass mode, can you still see tv video on tv, absent sound of course, and can you change channels? If yes, is functionality quick and convenient?  Denon has a video select function, does it continue to work?i like seeing video w... 
TV Mounted above fireplace mantel - neck strain?
Mantelmount reviews are not stellar. Problematic.i think I may just position tv in front of unused fireplace.  It may look fine.  I hate having to pull it down all the time and often it will be left lowerEd and look like crap when not I use.  When... 
TV Mounted above fireplace mantel - neck strain?

My system has the b&w’s, McIntosh 5 channel amp biwired and a bluesound node 2i and a marantz 5014 avr used as a preamp.i am now seriously exploring the Chord Qutest dac and maybe the m scaler, which seems to be the holy grail to amazing sound...
