    Sony's HT-A9 & HT-A7000 for A80J, X95J, A90J & Z9J

    +1 for Sony TV owners. Is there a similar option for folks who own other TV brands, either leveraging the TV's sound option to play internal and external speakers or working making the HT-A9 Wisa-compliant? Just throwing out some ideas to make this system even more appealing.

    Sony's HT-A9 & HT-A7000 for A80J, X95J, A90J & Z9J

    It'd be pretty cool if the HT-A7000 soundbar could act like a center channel or LCR fronts working with the HT-A9 as surrounds and heights, including front heights. The two systems working together--with room correcting across both--could have a lot of potential. Sony, I hope you're listening.

    Sub Position and Speaker Type Advice

    Thanks! I'll get some measurements up in the next few weeks. I was wondering whether such a huge sub (SVS SB-16 Ultra) "needs" corner loading. I'm also debating whether adding a 2nd sub would really make a big difference, but let me get the measurements up first. I'd be adding an AVR once I...

    Sub Position and Speaker Type Advice

    Thanks, Todd and Toni! I'll try to setup REW and take some measurements. I've been reading up on that for a few weeks, so might as well do it. No need to reply below unless a few of the options for the sub are a definite no go. Update: I moved up the couch a few feet off the back wall. A...

    Hi folks! It's been over two years since my original post. Since then, I've moved 3 times, but it just so happens that my latest move was into an apartment that is nearly identical to the specs and layout I had when I first made this post! (Those audio gods must be laughing at me :olddude:)...
