| How Do I Stream Netflix Audio On A Smart TV To My AV Receiver https://www.avforums.com/threads/earc-and-anthem-mrx-740-with-lg-gx-65.2344986/ | |
| Speakers for daughter Since you’re buying for someone who is likely not (yet?) an audiophile, I’d suggest paying attention to aesthetics and also look for something that’s less likely to be finicky about placement (since most people put their speakers up against back w... | |
| BiAmp Focal Kanta 2 speakers with 1 set of posts. Since you mentioned running in mono, I think what you’re talking about is running the 2 Evo 400s as mono blocks with one amp driving each speaker throughout the full frequency range…That’s definitely possible and should make some improvements, the... | |
| Sound System on $10K Budget Congrats on the speaker choice. They are definitely beautiful and should serve you very well. Given your focus on simplicity and use with TV, I’d reiterate that having HDMI connectivity would be nice to allow you to minimize remotes and cabling re... | |
| Sound System on $10K Budget For my $10k: Focal Kanta No2 – used $6500ish Naim Uniti Atom — used $2500ish couple hundred bucks for shipping, cables, and an HDMI cable to connect eARC from the TV. A bit left over for a budget TT or CD transport if you want the option or ... | |
| Best “gaming” headset under $200 Thanks a lot. Definitely helps put my mind at ease to know it’s well liked by a kid his age who likely has heard some truly good sounding gear to compare the sound quality to. | |
| Monitors with Built In Center Channels Why not just eliminate the center channel and use the R & L mains with a phantom center setup on your AVR? The review mentions the quality isn’t nearly as good as the dedicated speakers in their setup. If your front speakers can be equidistant... | |
| Simple, Inexpensive, but Decent Headphone System I've got a pair of Meze 99 Classics that I love. Fun, non-fatiguing sound profile, very comfortable, plus they look fantastic for all those telemedicine and zoom conference calls we're stuck doing these days... In the under $500 range, I think the... | |
| Some advice please.... Limited $$ what should I spend on FIRST? What is the rest of the room like and what is the intended use? Is the room only for TV/Movies or is it a general gathering place in the house like a family room/rec room? What is the lighting? Are acoustic treatments an option? 2-channel music as... | |
| 2.1 system needs 3 HDMI inputs?? @jnehma1 I forgot about the optional MDC expansion modules on NAD products to give them more than a single HDMI input. That might be the ticket that avoids having to spend a day in the crawl space running extra cables through walls and includes op... | |
| Best sub $1200 headphone as complement to 99 Classics Besides budget, I tend to prefer something slightly warm and enveloping over supremely analytical... more interested in getting lost in the music and enjoying the sense of being there than finding that last shred of detail. Comfort is important to... | |
| Best high-end headphones with noice cancellation ... If you’re committed to ANC, the Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 2 are often said to be the best of the ANC IEMs for sound quality if the small and travel-friendly form factor of in-ear is important...haven’t heard them myself. | |
| Best high-end headphones with noice cancellation ... I asked a similar question a few years ago and was convinced by the responses that instead of looking for headphones with active noise cancellation (ANC) that sounded better than my Bose over-ear I was looking to upgrade from that I’d be better of... | |
| What's the best integrated amp in the $1500-$2000 range? I have the creek evo100a you noted as having not been mentioned above. I paired it with Kef LS50s and love it. I have a friend with a peachtree nova300 and we both preferred the creek when swapping them out... however both amps are good enough tha... | |
| Cheap starter system for kids Thanks for all the input. Unfortunately for those who recommended used gear, the buyer here is definitely not comfortable with that even though its probably the best value.I'm definitely not locked in to powered speakers, but my friend has heard A... |
