I have an existing Kilpsch F-30 7.1 speaker system. I am thinking of upgrading to Dolby Atmos. My HT room has a high vaulted ceiling so up firing speakers probably won't work. I would like some recommendations for in ceiling speakers to match my existing speakers.

Hey all, Asking this question again because I made it so confusing before. Attached is an image of a wall unit that I will be getting. It is custom so I can move shelves, make speaker space, etc...The contractor will do anything to it. The tv will be over fireplace (which will almost never be...

I moved out of a house with a dedicated theater room into a new home where I am trying to reuse as much of our old equipment as possible. The layout of the room presents some definite challenges and I need some advice on how to proceed. I'd like to setup a 5.1 system. Receiver- I have a Denon...

Hello I just needed recommendations for an amplifier. I was getting ready to sell it, but decided I might end up keeping it for home theater use. I have it in a ported box tuned to JL specs. The whole 3 ohm thing is making it difficult to find an amp, all of the ones I have seen only go down to...

Hi all, The wife and I have recently purchased a new home and with it came a Yamaha DVX-S100 home theater system (Since I'm a new member, the forum won't allow me to insert a link, but you can see the DVX-S100 on amazon). Overall, we're really happy with it. The one issue I have is that we're...

Hello everyone. First time poster here. first of all, i must say, reading some of these threads, i'm very impressed by your civility! lol definitely not what i'm used to seeing being on forums in general. Ok, so here's what i've got: a basement that's about 30ft long by 17 ft wide (roughly)...

I'm looking to upgrade my receiver, $500 is my absolute max but I'd really like to stay closer to $400. Features I definitely want: at least 5.1, airplay compatibility, at least 3 HDMI ins, at least 1 component video in. Nice to have: 7.1 and/or second zone. The two receivers I'm most...

I am looking for advice on subwoofers for the home theater in my basement. Here is the background. The room is 22'x16'x8' (2816 cubic feet) and there are two listening positions (side by side recliners with one recliner against the side wall). I have an old set of Swan Diva 4.1 speakers and...

So my dad is not a crazy audio nut like myself or his brother is. He has a simple $1k bose system right now that he is happy with. But he is talking now about changing up a few rooms upstairs to accommodate a dedicated movie room. He does want to spend a small amount on the audio just to give...

Sometime in 2016 I plan to update our speakers. I am considering a high end soundbar or front towers, surrounds and subwoofer. My budget is approximately $3,000 or less. Primary media is HDTV shows and movies, Bluray movies and rock concerts. Not interested in 4K at this time. All gear is...

Hi guys, A family member of mine wants to get a 1080p LED TV. What is the best one (brand/model) to get. Anything above 60 inches or higher. Any recommendations? No 4K TV and no curved TV. thanks.

Ok..first let me say that I am new to the site and new to the projection world. I have been a longtime LED TV watcher and am finally making the jump over. Second, I have read through many posts on this site and reviews all over the web, but still can't seem to find a complete article that will...

So we had a thunderstorm that knocked out the power last week. The next day I went to watch a movie and had no input into my Pany 3000 projector. Come to find out the HDMI board had failed as I could get a signal thru other inputs. With an old bulb and quotes of $800+ to fix I sucked it up...

I have enjoyed my HT for a long time but recently we moved and built a new dedicated room, so now I am able to tweak things the way I would like to. That led me to get REW and buy UMIK-1. Present setup is not optimal, but I used it for years due to the convenience of "dreaded" built in subs...

Im a poor man trying to build a system! Right now all I have are a pair of Cerwin Vega DX 5 and an onkyo TX-NR636. I mainly use the system for PS4 gaming and bluray movies. I have no idea what to look for and I have a very small budget (under $200). I got the CVs at a pawn shop for $150 so I am...

would like to get some opinions on a home theater I am building for my father and mother. They just moved into this monstrosity of the house (they just retired) and instead of putting a bar in the basement...as they don't drink, I recommended a home theater, and so got a greenlight. Budget...

I'm just getting into this hobby, and every day I learn something new. Not afraid to sound like a NOOB 'cause I BE ONE! :nerd: just picked up the MAKE: Electronics book and parts kit, so I can start testing and building some basic circuits soon. I've been looking at used (Tektronix and...

Good afternoon everyone: One of my neighbors is in the market for an old school vinyl record player, an amplifier and two decent speakers (I didn't know that people even listened to vinyl anymore, by the way, but fortunately they still do apparently). His budget is about $5 k max for...
