  1. AV Home Theater
    I'll be rebuilding my basement theater in a few months - it had to be demolished to fix a structural problem in my basement, and I'm going to dual subs in the process.

  2. System Setup and Connection
    Hi I run a HTPC with bitstream output on HDMI. My old receiver (onkyo 606) takes TrueHD on 7.1 channels. If / when I want to bitstream Atmos, Should I reposition my speakers to a 5.1.2 setup, or shall I still use the 7.1 setup? I have understood that Atmos is using the TrueHD on a 7.1 setup...

    Running REW 5.17 beta 7 for multiple instances on a Windows 7 desktop machine and after a couple of operations of any kind the display just goes whacko, jumping all over the place, completely unusable. I have a feeling I am not the original discoverer of this problem, but I missed any posts...
