To go back on track, I agree with John's recommendation to consider separates for the room of that size. Cost wise I can attest that second hand market either here, in the forum or AVSForum or ebay is alive and kicking. I have purchased all my amps and processor , as well as speakers...

I already used my disc , did some tweaking , in HDR10 realm as that is what my porjector is capable for. I see that there are number of options on disc that colorimeter might be needed? if I am correct? Does anyone use colorimeters in setting up the projectors, and if so which one. Did it make...

Recently bought second hand Anthem AVM-60 pre/pro, very happy with the upgrade it brought over 15 year old ONKYO. as _Man_ mentioned above, software quirks not present with this model, and if not interested in going 8K, this should last for years to come. ARC EQ software is really slick and does...

Thankful for second hand market, I was able to score a 115$ Harmony Ultimate with hub, works perfectly with all my equipment hidden under staircase.

Final piece of the upgrade. It came a bit unexpectedly as I was looking into most likely 4K e-shift type of projectors at second hand market… Sony VPL-VW885ES full 4K… of course that begged for new HDMI run, but found AV Access HDMI extender capable of running full 4:4:4 HDR signal over Cat5e...

After a few more sessions of listening and watching some movie scenes I can say taht envelope of sound is great, back is a bit congested and at times have hard time figuring is its back set of Atmos firing or back surrounds, but then again, it’s atmospheric effects , with panning I can locate...

Check monoprice, I think they might have 4 way switcher,

I am kind of thinking / itching to consider Sofabaton X1 ,for me home theater. I can do simpler things with Apple TV remote but if I use Oppo then need to switch between Oppo and Anthem app… taht woudl bee too much for my kids or wife.

ChatGPT offspring?… lured by horror movies..?

Yes, I am wondering how the effects will be in my room given position of the back surrounds that are high due to available space given riser and furniture. Not so much sides. Back heights are 3 ft away from the back surrounds and 3.5 from sides. I will start figuring that today a bit, had time...

So, after some evaluation of options ( speakers, mounts and avoidance of installing in ceiling speakers and retrofitting wires) I found an old and trusted European brand of speakers making its way slowly in US. HECO german speakers, that are slim with simple aesthetics, yet with fairly good...

I also have Denon in family room, so lesser setup, but given the quality, ease of use, setup etc and working well for 7 years now I would say Denon... Yeah, I know, price... main thing I saved a lot of money was speakers, as I got all mine through second hand market, speakers are things that...

Interestingly, I used this Audio Advice room building tool just recently, years after I made HT. It has calculated, “recommended” all speakers at most within half a foot of position that they are in presently, especially when I used 60/40 ratio for “swe’re spot” ( MLP/ surrounding seats) . I did...

Yes, my wife complains of my overall immersion even when I listen to music on open back planar headphones through Dragonfly DAC... that is my only other non- HT music setup. Plan to use DAC in AVM60 for music ( either through PlayFi or analog input and SACDs)

That would not be too much off what I have 15x12'10"x7'6". First row with excellent sound and back row, half foot of the back wall, with great sound for casual TV/sports. With overall notable improvement since I incorporated AVM60. So, you might have achance to increase screen and in far...

As in phase alignment? No.

Did they really stop adding Atmos to HD Blurays? I have not purchased any Blurays recently( within a year), I did buy a few with both 4k and HD edition but did not look into the details on the box... Splitting hairs between formats, again something for electronic makers to sell equipment, (...

I agree, I find myself building my first real HT in 2007, we moved and built present HT in 2015 , at that time upgraded subs and Blu-ray player but chose not to go to Atmos as rest of my equipment was sufficient and room and subs provided upgraded experience. Waited until processor died in 2023...

Most of 8K these days I see it talked about in gaming, and most likely that is where most of it comes to fruition, but i am not a big gamer and my son is not a professional gamer either. Looking at the rate of development and penetration of 4K material in last 8 years, it is slow, very slow...

Hello, I know you mentioned you family likes to sit together, I would still think for audio using narrower wall for screen would be more beneficial and you can probably get comfy 5 seater sofa in 15 ft wide space. As for screen sizes, I had in my first HT 120” 2.35:1 screen with Panamorph lens...

Yes it has dual parallel subs( do you have 3 or 4?) , I did not find any mention about phase alignment on the ARC run I did, so probably only new models have it( hardware dependent?)… but so much easier to setup subs, and better correction compared to Audy/DSP/Rew measurements from 8 years ago.

Hello all, just read through this newest thread as well… myself purchasing used Anthem AVM 60( from local hi-fi shop) just about a month ago after my prehistoric 2007 Onkyo pre/pro died… I did not encounter any GUI issues so far as John was mentioning, but the again, I hear there is a...

Hello all, just read through this one… myself purchasing used ANthem AVM 60 just about a month ago after my prehistoric 2007 Onkyo pre/pro died… I did not encounter any GUI issues so far as John was mentioning, but the again, I hear there is a substantial difference between “old” AVM 60 and new...

Also you have option of ultrashort throw projector that can be placed kind of where your TV is and throws the picture on the wall behind, you do NOT need then to get projector mount, screen, new outlet nor HDMI, consider special wall paint for screen surface Instead of the screen.
