*** THE OFFICIAL HOME THEATER & AUDIO THREAD**

[16 cycles]

Good DACs are a definite + to a system....

Any of you guys have a curved HDTV? I see there are pros and cons, but from what I see it seems mainly to be a matter of preference.

Any of you who bought curved regret it after and wished you bought flat instead? Or are you now converted into someone who would never buy a flat TV .

Looking at a 55" btw.

My boss bought two... returned them after a couple days because he said the screen is highly reflective and suffered severe reflections of the windows and lights in the house making it difficult to watch the picture on the screen.

Hi

Come nah man Paul you know better than that!!!

[Pablo660]

Trust me ,
My Uncle is an audiophile and he explained, I will ask him again so I can post here.
He's not into the high end audio wires also with magic fairy dust lol

[Gladiator]

Ok man... let me know what he says.... the only thing I can think of is that in the home is you running wires in ceiling etc you may get emf interference from ballasts, power lines etc. Some audiophiles use shielded or twisted pair speaker wires... I did two installs with car audio speaker cables with no problems.

Projecting on a dark blue wall with a light green wrinkly-ass sheet right now. Could imagine my smiles tomorrow evening

That will be a major issue for me where the tv is going in the living room.

Thanks.

Nice !!!

What speakers do you plan on using with the setup ?

[Morpheus]

^^Thanks. Some old Altec Lansing PC speakers. Working well enough for now.



HDMI switch came last week along with a 30ft HDMI cable.

So projector alone on the shelf now. All other devices would be under the screen feeding into the 4 input HDMI switch.


Test fit/run...




Screen installed.

Upstairs is de (hopefully allowable) man cave pool table bar etc

But the projector setup was a budget system nun fancy and pro
Sound system is a small Bose 2.1 which does enough for the area it's in for me
Player is a 4k Android box

[HesusAVG]

Wow guys so high prices:whatthe: 3k, 4k damn. I really love quality of music and video, low bass till my ears start to bleeds, bit I still live with my parents so I Surfed chip kind of receivers. In particular " Yamaha RX-V379BL " got:
- Bluetooth wireless music playback
- 4K Ultra HD pass-through with HDCP 2.2
- YPAO microphone audio calibration
- Virtual Cinema Front
- Extra Bass setting for smaller satellite speakers

Eventually, I get it just for 229$ and about 20$ for FedEx shipping.

[Gladiator]

To anyone who may be interested.... i have a Yamaha RXV-659 for sale. Its an older 7ch receiver with no HDMi but a great SQ amplifier and DAC.

See review here:

Also I have some projector screen material (16ft x 20ft) if anyone is looking to do a custom screen.
