Good question, horns have always been the whipping boys of the high end review media. Seems like they just could never take their own advice and "trust their ears". LOL I ran La Scala's for over 3 decades but they just started getting some respect in recent years. Why the media have finally...

I think there were very many of us who were audiophiles in the 1980's that lusted after Oracle Delphi's. If nothing else they were just so beautiful Have fun all you guys who have fulfilled a dream now in later life. Personally I sold off everything vinyl related about 15 years back and put...

I'd been with Spotify like forever, IMO they have the best UI and largest catalog of any streamer. But for the same money I can get Apple 4k with tons of Atmos and other multich immersive codec's. Plus you don't get that MQA crap constantly shoved down my throat like you at Tidal. ,

$150 more for the privilege of living in CA. ROTFL

Really, can't wait. I'm so tired of Covid chick flixs of the last year. Bring on some Marvel heros, some StarWars and StarTrex. The kind of stuff I spent all the money on my HT for. Really kool Atmos starship flyovers, helicopters and jets fighting Kong and Godzilla, huge 17hz explosions, etc...

With devising the complete procedures the idea will always be the same, close your eyes. LOL In this particular case someone would be switching the new and old components without the listener knowing what has been done. Can the listener repeatedly identify one from the other or if nothing was...

The first one was a good suspense thriller. The followups, not so much.

Happens quite often, you have a new piece of gear and your listening more closely trying to determine its sound quality and you start to hear some details you've missed before during more relaxed times. Cheers,

If you believe in Santa Claus, Peter Pan, and the Tooth Fairy, you might get discouraged by Floyd's book as it doesn't encourage flights of fancy. Audible claims need to be supported by hard repeatable evidence, not "I heard it, so it is so". :T BTW, will there be a movie and when might it be...

I've been very happy with Audyssey + Editor. The only negative I can throw out is that the requirement of using small screen cell phones and such makes fine adjustments to curves difficult. Many of us use an emulator app to run the android OS on our PC's but sometimes the emulator software can...

Do you have the latest firmware installed? Maybe post to the question to the AVS Official 7702 thread and see what you can learn there. https://www.avsforum.com/threads/the-official-marantz-av7702-pre-pro.1696641/

Not here on my AV7703 ??? There was some talk about 2 years ago that Dolby was going to restrict the use of other functions while using a Dolby stream. But they changed their mind and AFAIK no firmware ever went out to lock down it's streams?

H Humm. I have a 5.2.4 Atmos speaker type configuration and keep the Marantz setup that way. Now, when you playing a Atmos blu-ray disc and the Marantz reads it's receiving a Atmos stream, what happens when you push one of the colored "Sound Mode" buttons on the remote? By pushing any one of...

That's how I keep it. Yep, I can ???

Sorry, don't have a X-Box so I can't help you with that. I tested running a Atmos BD on my Samsung BluRay player.
