My Epson projector is getting a bit old, red edge fade on top and a red spot 3/4 down near middle. Since LCD/QLED/etc are now so cheap, was considering replacing my projector and 80" screen with a 60" flat panel. I notice that new Samsungz support "AirPlay 2" (whatever that is). None of my...

I am currently running a 6.1 HT system with a Pioneer Elite VSX-72TXV and am curious about using my Arcam AVR300 as a second amp for the fronts. I’m assuming I would run the preouts to the Arcam, with it in Direct Mode. I’m concerned about possible phase issues, though I’m sure that’s just the...

This may prove to be a stupid question, but it's something I haven't previously considered. I attempted searching prior to posting. Can I provide a single wireless feed to two wireless HT receivers (Sony STR-DN860, specifically), in order to have the ability to dial in each receiver for it's...

Hello, I currently own the Onkyo 805 receiver and I recently bought the Pioneer SC95 receiver. I want to know if you can actually hear a difference between receivers? I am not speaking of the new sound formats just simply based on the amp and DAC for example. I know when I receive it I will...

Anyone have any experience with Anthem receivers and pre-pros? All the reviews I've read are very positive but there doesn't seem to be much about them here.

Denon has made quite a few product announcements in the last month, adding new gear to its S-Series of receivers in addition to announcing the new HEOS HS2 lineup. Several days ago, the company revealed even more new gear with the arrival of two new X-Series AV receivers: AVR-X1300W and...

The number of high performing entry level and mid-priced AV Receiver models on the market is quite astounding. As we’ve mentioned before, this plays big for a wide range of buyers taking advantage of low prices on new 4K televisions and Atmos-enabled speakers. Manufacturers easily could have...

On the heels of last week’s new Onkyo AVR models announcement, the company’s subsidiary – Pioneer Electronics – has revealed two new budget-ish Elite branded receivers. Pioneer’s Elite receivers have routinely offered fantastic levels of performance and the new 7-channel VSX-LX301 and 7-channel...

Seattle's AudioControl recently announced retail availability of its new Atmos-enabled 7.1.4 channel Concert AVR-7 and Concert AVR-9 AV receivers. Aside from carrying attractively unique physical styling, the AVR-7 and AVR-9 are loaded with enough current tech to keep them relevant for years to...

First off, Hey! I joined the site years ago, but have been on a bit of a hiatus. Nothing to do with the site, I've just been spending a lot of time with family and my 4 year old daughter, so I haven't been as active on here sas I used to be. But anyway, I've noticed Onkyo has made some changes...

Is there any standalone multi-channel EQ hardware, possibly MiniDSP, that will work with an Atmos receiver?

Yamaha recently announced six new Aventage AV Receivers, anchored by the company’s new flagship RX-A3050 9.2-channel model. Yamaha has seemingly left no stone unturned in design and execution, making several of these new models incredibly competitive in a receiver market that has been...

Onkyo was one of the few Home Theater oriented manufacturers to budget a dedicated demo space at CE Week 2015. Yesterday, I had a great conversation with two knowledgeable representatives from Onkyo about their exciting new RZ900 and RZ800 AV Receivers along with their take on the issues that...

Hi everyone. I apologize if there is a master thread for these kinds of questions. I did a quick search and nothing of the sort came up. I'm looking for a reciever to pair with a set of speakers I found at a garage sale today. Here are the speaker models: 2x Athena LS-300B fronts 2x Athena...

Let's say I have the receiver X and the audio file F, which sounds different depending on the way is delivered. The sources are two types: 1. usb, iPod, network, optical through bluetooth, bitstream over HDMI on one hand and 2. PCM over HDMI on the other hand. The type 2 is obviously superior...
