    CES 2019: Monoprice Unveils Its HTP-1 16-Channel Processor with Dirac and New Sealed Subs

    Awesome. I have been very patient waiting for the release of a reasonably priced processor that integrates MSO/SFM style bass management into a single box. Since I'm a believer that features are what primarily differentiate modern well designed electronics - not unmeasurable voodoo - I could...

    LG to showoff 65-inch rollable OLED display

    Yeah me either :). But I think we have a while before it's ever released.

    LG to showoff 65-inch rollable OLED display

    I wonder if it can be hung and dropped down instead of rolling up? This will finally allow me to put a matching center behind my retractable screen and still have my daily display.

    AV NIRVANA Speaker Evaluation Event - Tower Speakers $1200 or Less (Results)

    Bass has always benefitted from RC in my room for sure. I could live with a fully corrected 2 channel as well, but there is no doubt I prefer no correction above 1 or 2kHz. As you point out, the differences are fairly subtle and only heard in critical 2 channel listening. I think there is...

    AV NIRVANA Speaker Evaluation Event - Tower Speakers $1200 or Less (Results)

    Yes, there are so many potential little details to be inadvertantly missed. But letting the perfect be the enemy of the good would result in no one wanting to try anything, and no knowledge gained whatsoever. No one should impugn the efforts here. Experimentation is not about figuring out the...

    R.E.M. - Automatic for the People, One of the first Atmos studio mixes!

    I've had my copy for a little over a month, and it is the best music disc in my entire collection and the finest overall music experience I've ever had with my system - or any other...

    Hey all, good to join the group

    Noise from the crown amps is likely just a matter of gain structure. They are very flexible, but most don't realize there are two levels of input sensititvity where a menu setting is required to change it. This may be necessary in his situation to reduce noise. This is a better option than...

    Do you isolate your gear?

    Well said Matt, and I appreciate your expertise in this area. I agree with all you have said and my response was really quite a few levels down the ladder :). The typical enthusiast needs to evaluate whether a product is worthy of their hard earned dollars, and that decision is hampered in most...

    Do you isolate your gear?

    @Matthew J Poes My post couldhave come off as confrontational. I just want to be clear it was not. I have been involved in many of these types of discussions over the years and have seen these discussions become very contentious. I truly respect the opinions of everyone, regardless of whether...

    Do you isolate your gear?

    I understand the overall point you're trying to make. I edited my post as I don't think it contributed to a good discussion on this topic.

    Do you isolate your gear?

    If this was done sighted, then nothing much can be taken away from it. "I heard it with my own eyes" oops. I mean "ears" :p. These scientifically sketchy devices are typically debunked with blind testing. Which is why they're never tested blind during demos. Sighted bias cannot be discounted...

    The Official JTR Speakers Loudspeaker Discussion Thread!

    One thing you can count on with JTR is outstanding product support and a very quality product! I've owned JTR speakers and subs and can't speak highly enough about the product and Jeff Permanian. Jeff has handled product support issues even outside of warranty. Outstanding.

    Hey all, good to join the group

    Well, the wife kind of threw up her hands at a certain point, leaving it mostly to me. :greengrin: Once I started hanging stuff of the ceilings, she knew she had lost the battle for sure :surrender:

    Hey all, good to join the group

    Thanks very much! The M2 was a very good decision for me, and along with the 7 series makes for an extremely satisfying experience. The recent Atmos studio music releases are simply awesome to hear.

    Hey all, good to join the group

    Thanks Todd. But I just realized I had the wrong speaker model for my ceilings, so I don't even know what my system is, forget about showcasing it! :). Haha. All these speakers turn into model number soup after a while, lol.
