A brief background. Started with a 42 inch Panasonic 720p plasma TV 14 years ago. I really like the colour on it even though just 720p. The 42 inch is now in the living room upstairs. A few years ago I bought a Vizio M series, 60 inch 4k. It is in my basement with a KEF 5.1 speaker setup where I...

I recently bought the Sony 800M2 player so I could play Ultra HD movies and SACD. I swapped out my old Sony S360 player. I was getting no image when I switched my receiver to “Blu-ray”from “Cable”. I discovered it was because my Denon 2311(from 2011) is HDMI 1.4 and can’t pass through the 4k...

Does anyone have this on DVD or Blu-ray? It is from a Toronto concert. I don't think it was filmed in HD so is it still better to get the Blu-ray over DVD? And while I am on the Moody Blues, what about the three disc, 2CD+DVD set of 50th Anniversary Days of Future Passed from 2017? Worth...

Setting up DVD player with HD Plasma TV and Cable I have my TV hooked up to my Cable/PVR box via an HDMI cable. I have my old DVD player with component cables running from player to the TV. I have audio cables running from the DVD player and from the cable box to my 5.1 receiver (PVR cannot...

I don't have a gauge yet to measure sound for my 5.1 system so doing it all by ear at the moment. I have the volume on the subwoofer set for 2/3 of the way up and on the receiver for 0 db on the override setting. Does that seem like a good starting point?

I have a Harman-Kardon AVR 146 that I bought new in the fall on sale for $268 Canadian (about $215 U.S.). At the time I was not sure how deep I wanted to get into home theatre and wanted to spend more of my budget on speakers. Running six KEF speakers now, including a subwoofer- things sound...

Can anyone suggest a Fleetwood Mac DVD that might have most of their greatest hits with decent audio-video?

I just purchased the Electric Light Orchestra Zoom tour DVD. I quite enjoyed it although I have heard some people did not because it is more Jeff Lynne and not so much original ELO. What is your favourite concert on DVD that you own or have seen with Electric Light Orchestra?

I just bought THE WHO The Kids Are Alright - Special Edition Two DVDs (2003 Pioneer). I am happy with the purchase as I had previously seen the DVD so I knew what I was getting. I'd like to maybe add another Who DVD or two to my collection and wondered what would be good ones to go with to...

Well. I finally got my home theatre to the point where I want it to be (at least speaker-wise). It started last October with the purchase of the Panasonic 42 inch plasma T.V. Then I wanted High Definition viewing so that meant purchasing a high definition box (PVR) at Christmas. So if you...

Help Setting Subwoofer Crossover Frequency Just got a subwoofer and have a setup question. AVR is Harmon-Kardon but I doubt that is too pertinent. My centre channel starts at 70 Hz, fronts at 43Hz, and surrounds at 50Hz. I plan on setting these speakers at “small” and setting the AVR at 80 Hz...

In a 5.1 system, the subwoofer represents one-sixth or 17% of the speakers. Would you allot one-sixth of your budget for the subwoofer, or more, or less? For example, if you had a budget of $2000, your budget would be about $340 for the subwoofer. Would you spend around that, or more than that...

I have been looking for a moderately priced subwoofer to go with my KEF iQ5s, iQ1s, and iQ2 home theatre system. My room is 17 ft by 10 ft and used mostly for TV and movies, not much for music. It doesn’t have to be a KEF subwoofer but I just discovered they are on sale half price. Regular $640...

I have KEF fronts, centre, rear (iQ series) and am happy with them. I have a really cheap Vector Research 8 inch subwoofer. It is loud enough in my 17 ft x 10 ft TV room but I would like a bit better quality to go with the KEFs. Mostly for movie watching - no games, CDs mostly on 2 speaker...

I've worked since late fall in upgrading my entertainment room to plasma T.V., HD box, Harmon-Kardon AVR 146, KEF speakers 5.1 setup. Now my weak link is my Citizen brand DVD player from a few years ago. It does have component cables and and a jack for digital coax which I am using. It does...

IDEAL HEIGHT FOR REAR SURROUND SPEAKERS? My viewing room is 17 x 10 feet. I have a 5.1 system with 5 matching brand speakers all around. I am trying to set up the surrounds. Due to space constraints they need to be on bookshelves three feet (1 metre) behind the single row seating area. They are...

I got a flat screen TV in October, HD TV in December, then I caught the Home Theatre bug and bought a new receiver and speakers. I started by purchasing the KEF iQ2 centre and used the EPI 100s that I had lying around (since the eighties) for left and right fronts with no surrounds. Then I...
