With the proper sheet rock anchors that should work. I've 150 lbs plus cabinets hanging on four 75 lbs anchors, Don't know about the magnets, but I don't see why not. Either way, it's the shear force and not the pull that matters. Have you looked into these...

I started one... https://play.qobuz.com/playlist/3787142 I intended it to end at the "Exit" track by Marc Bonilla, but then kept adding to it. Thanks for the above playlists. I'm enjoying them!

When i installed my 7.2.4 system last year I had 13 speakers to play with. Two of those are Acoustic Research AR4C sitting on top of 7' bookshelves flanking my TV. I had been using them as front presence, an option with my former AVR instead of rear back speakers, and especially for 'dialog...

I've had the "no signal", as well as regularly "Not HDCP 2.2 Compliant" error. Yamaha CX-A5200, HP miniDesktop PC (integrated audio and graphics; no separate cards). The issue with my setup seems to be that the PC only has DisplayPort outs; no HDMI. So, I use a DP to HDMI adapter. I tried three...

Agreed! Who showed up at the end was a surprise, at least for me. I'll need to go back and FF through the credits. :T

It's on our list to look into Atmos music or X music (is that a thing?) on disc; our current player will handle that we think. Perhaps there is a platform beside Firesticks that does Tidal Atmos as it should be done. I'll look into that too, but the boss would have to approve spending more than...

Thank you! Yes! Much more so in DTS-X. We have always found DTS to be superior to Dolby, especially regarding dynamic range. (Our DVD-A's with Dolby and DTS tracks all sound better slecting the DTS track.) Not sure if there is that difference now, between X and Atmos, but we do notice a...

Earlier this year, pre-Covid, we made a $16,000 commitment to upgrade our HT sound system. All was done piece by piece (new amps, new pre/pro, new speakers, new subs, new cables, new 30 amp dedicated power, etc., etc.) DIY. By early Summer our 7.2.4 upgrade was complete, and we began replacing...

Agreed on some of the CGI. Bad CGI will still look bad played from a 4K disc.

My wife and I love it. Watched the latest episode last night. I remember thinking, as it played, "Nice! Disney is doing HDR10 and Dolby ATMOS really well for streaming." Colors popped, contrast was great, and while not much overhead sound the ear-level sound field was immersive.

Excellent. With the lead time from Magnepan on new LRS's, you must have found a deal on used. Happy tweaking!

Very interesting. In my opinion DTS blows Dolby away; always has; why anyone would opt for Dolby over DTS, including Atmos over DTS-X, is beyond me. Does the X-box have a hard drive, or can one be connected to it? If it has a hard drive, can it be upgraded? My Yammy does DLNA and that's how...

Since I'm not a gamer, I've historically had zero interest in gaming boxes. Maybe I should take a second look? I had a Roku box once then got FireTV; been with that platform ever since; my focus with boxes and sticks is toward streaming video. I've never played with AppleTV, nVidia (the two...

7.2.4 system. Wanted to hear Dolby Atmos music. While I've a Firestick 4K, I almost never, ever listen to streaming music through it. To my ears music encoded in DD+, with 4db of dialog boost (that you can't turn off), just doesn't sound right compared to the same music encoded as two-channel...

A dipole's distinctive sound is "influenced by", yes. I regard this as a feature and not necessarily a hindrance. For example, my Magnepan MC1's, are mounted perpendicular to and on my rear wall; there is no wall behind their back waves. What this achieves are sound waves traveling, in both...
