Newbie question about Vault 2i
I was all set for Vault 2 but after considering all the money I will be spending on Home Theater I think I will just spend $500 on Node 2i. My reasoning is that I can live with the conversions of my CD's to AIFF that I have done. Unless I am missi...

Should I expect a discount from dealer for buying and installing complete system
I don’t have a budget. I’m designing my home theater to be the best that I can afford without going crazy. That means spending a lot on high quality speakers, buying a good receiver, buying a good streamer, a great 4K tv and paying for a complicat... 
Should I buy Anthem 1120 for a 11 speaker system or Sony 5000 ES
I know Anthem is good. For my system I would need to spend $3500 to get the nine amps for home theater. I also need video in another room, want to watch video while listening to music in main room, need to be able to stream music from home theater... 
5.1.2 Atmos
I just read the article on Auto-3D. Sounds interesting. If I have two speakers for Atmos installed I will have 3 unused front ceiling speakers, so I think it will be possible.I have a fan in the closet that vents to the attic. I will ask if that i... 
5.1.2 Atmos
i decided to with 5.1.4. It will be expensive, but I know it will be worth it

I talked to him yesterday and he convinced me that is has to be Sony because Anthem does not have the multi room video that I need. I compared the specs online and it verified what he said

Exactly, thirty years ago when I was interested in 2 channel separates I had a lot of different business's to buy from. I did buy and sell a lot of used equipment but I also bought from the stores. Now where I live the store I go to is the only hi...

He did have $3000 on proposal for labor. We agreed that if the back surround can be reasonably done by going under the house we will so the labor would go up. Other than that looks like $3000 is the quote which I find very reasonable for the amoun...

@audiotroy @willland,@willland, Thanks for the comments.https://www.musicloversaudio.com. This is the business audiotroy, have you heard of them?To have 9 speakers for Atmos I would either need 1120 or 720 and add amps for Home theater and bedroom...

No I don’t think think $3000 is fixed, it has to be guesstimate until they actually go under house and into attic. Also I keep adding what I want done. I am going to add Bluesound Node 2i and also I want my 55” tv mounted in bedroom and bedroom tv...

I did think about separates it does make some sense but I think good separates would be a lot more money than $2200 for the receiver. Years ago, about 40 years ago I was very interested in equipment and had a lot of different amps and preamps. I w...

If the dealer is making a larger profit on Sony then why would one salesman and both of the two co-owners suggested the 7amp version rather than the 9 amp version which is $500 more. I really think people don't get that this is is not an operation...
