Bad news for home theater enthusiasts
@nonoise  My OPPO BDP-103 is old This is a waste of space, trash it, sell it, get rid of it. What about your amp, is it decent? What about your speakers? Are they old too? If I were you I would put it all on ebay and start fresh. First, make sur...

Best amplifier for low to moderate listening levels

A step to the side- Smart TV question
I have both TCL and Sony smart TV's. As far as picture quality I like the Sony. Sony uses the Google OS which I am not a fan of. The TCL has good picture quality but the colors seem more life like on the Sony. What I like about the TCL is the Roku...

@jond  Like your industrial strength "tubes":  
Pro/Studio Subwoofers
I called JBL for advice about this and they told me the Pro subs were a better value as long as you had an XLR connection instead of RCA.  
KEF LS50 Wireless II vs. Harbeth P3esr
I use active speakers and it is cost effective when you have the designer match everything and then purchase it as a complete unit.  
Why Don’t You Post Your System on Your Profile?
Yep, talk about WAF, she said it was either her or the room treatments and I guess you can see how that worked out.😁 Seriously, I found a great video series of interviews of Anthony Grimani who was also nice enough to exchange e-mail with me. I a...
