Looks like quite a few of them use the 2.4GHz range.... That looks like a 2.4GHz system as well. But the channel selection option might help resolve any issues.

This model lacks such a feature. There is one button which puts the units in pairing mode and links them. But I think your broader point is right: I need to adjust my transmission to a channel where it doesn’t interfere with my WiFi. I may need to use a different product :(

Just got mine out of the storage drawer to wire up a new sub in the living room. I'm consistently getting interference with my Sonos CONNET AMP, in the same room. Unpower the ‭SoundPath Sonos work as expected. Plug in the SoundPath in and in short order the Sonos becomes less responsive. I...

This is the strangest news release. A better headline would have been: The exclusive Dolby agreement to only allow AMC theaters to buy Dolby Vision projectors has expired, and now other companies who has ATMOS setups are allowed to buy Dolby Vision projectors and get DV assets for exhibition...

There isn't anything else under 1k that plays the disks you want to play. So unless is was an environmental issue (too much heat, power surge, etc) that may still be the best bet at that price point.

Fair enough. Then this thread should maybe titled something different. Maybe the opposite of the current title. Maybe like "most capable UHD player, price irrelevant" ;)

Since you don't need or want DV, no reason to the get the UB820. You don't like Sony, so something like the X700 or X800M2 don't fit the bill for you. You said "budget" so I assume that means you'd not be interested in spending 4x the price of a basic player for something with better build...

One of those available spots likely has better response in relation to the existing subwoofer and the existing subwoofer's location. So life will be easier if you choose said spot (from the available options). But chances are very good that if you are willing to spend a little time with REW...

IIRC the OP explicitly didn't want to use any digital processing, so the miniDSP, while excellent, doesn't fit their use case.

Broadly speaking, that is true. But the details get a little more nuanced. Presumably a two channel system is two speakers, intended to reproduce the full range of the recording. That means they need to play into the bass region well, typically at least 40 hz, and ideally lower. To achieve...

You know what they say about assumptions....... but yes, I'd guess they are not bad. Hopefully they will publish those details by the time commercial sales commence. They are of course not alone in not publishing such details but it seems more and more of the manufacturers who sell into the...

Cool. Then in many rooms this is what you need to set the "distance" in the sense of time aligning the subwoofer with your mains. REW can help you set it correctly. Since you cannot adjust delays for your mains, you will need to keep them all at the same distance from you, for the ideal...

Very glad to see another option in the high output in wall speaker category. in fact, this may only be the second one on the market (after Perlisten) to achieve a THX Dominus rating for an in wall speaker. (That's not to say other brands and or speakers don't have as much or even more output...

I agree. In general avoiding correction of amplitude and phase seems like driving a classic car from the 1920s. That's a fine and worthy pursuit, but won't be adaptable to a modern driving situation most of the time.

Exactly, if he cannot adjust distance, delay, or phase, then something like the miniDSP is the way to go.
