ummmmmm yeahhh!!!!

There are 2 louvered doors leading to the HVAC. Based on this discussion, I'm considering putting solid doors on them instead because the unfinished HVAC area connects via a bulkhead to another set of louvered doors along the hallway. Will need to do some research to make sure that would provide...

Yes it does, thanks! And btw, I would love to do the kind of physical isolation of the room you've done. Next house! :cool:

OK, I'm getting more help than I expected (and it's appreciated). 🙏 @ddude003 The tape does sounds like a practical solution to provide repeatable room correction. 👍 @DonH57 Wasn't going to ask folks to review that level of detail, but since you asked....😁, see attached drawing (1 block = 1...

Yeah, will look into the folding options as I can see that that would give the most predictable and stable room correction. You had previously suggested a permanent wall w/ a door, but again, when I have people over, they often sit at the bar or play pinball and still want to be able to watch...

Thanks @ddude003 . I was thinking 8, but good to know that I should go even thicker. @Todd Anderson Yes I was thinking about the impact to room correction. Maybe I need to research if I can actually make a folding wall that applies a lot of the same concepts. Assume a lot of the same principles...

@Todd Anderson , yup. Do you think that could be a good solution?

I've setup my home theater in one end of a very long and narrow rectangle space in my basement - for simplicity, think 12'x40' ish. I have a ton of panels in the space between my seats and the screen including walls and ceilings which was a HUGE improvement. But, hearing ambient noise from HVAC...

Thanks for the replies and links so far. I use a relatively new windows laptop.

Due to some shifting around of some of my current AV equipment inventory in my home, I ended up with an "extra" receiver and decided I'd like a simple 2 channel setup in my home office to enjoy some music between conference calls. I wasn't really interested in spending more than about $200-300...

That's pretty intriguing. Would love to see us continue to deliver better solutions. I do always worry about the impact in terms of compatibility with sunk tech costs. Backwards compatibility can work on things like HDMI where the connector is the same and you are making incremental...

Appreciate the review. I actually pulled the trigger on this as part of a Best Buy black friday sale for $1500. Saw the unboxing video you had done and, combined with some other research, felt like it was too much receiver not to take it as an opportunity to upgrade. Bought the Dirac Bass...

Unfortunately no. No response to my email and I haven't been able to get through to them on the phone either. Though honestly, I haven't tried since the first couple of days since my post. I pulled the trigger on the 20% discount for Black Friday directly through DIRaC. Figured it was kind of a...

Haven't heard back from them yet. Assume it's bad timing with the holiday and I'll hear back tomorrow.

Wow! That's an awesome deal. Ready to pull the trigger on base control but I don't see anything on Texashifi.com about it. Anyone know any details? Specifically wondering can I buy it for my Pioneer VSX-LX805 (or only for Denon and Marantz which were explicitly mentioned by Todd). And, is the...
