Hey Greg, I have 8 Atmos channels installed in my room... and have spent time moving speaker positions around for a couple of reviews. Generally speaking (and these are my words, based on my experience... your mileage may vary!!), your Atmos experience is going to be driven by your ability to...

Beautiful! A sight for sore eyes... far too long in the making. Agree with you on Aliens being the better audio presentation. Wait until you give Abyss a spin. It might not be the best movie of the three, but it's the best presentation!

Wow. Super interesting. They're really digging into the weeds and controlling the minutia of what these LED backlights can do. i guess LCD still has legs! What's the bottom line on price difference between OLED and these Cinema 9 sets?

I would hope so! They claim it eliminates the rumble without neutering the bass. Hard to imagine how that will work without some of the bass being affected. But, perhaps internal algorithms are able to predict expected output?

All in all, it looks like you're doing a lot with the space you have. And, ultimately, that's what 95% of home theater enthusiasts are doing: making use of predefined spaces in their home. Just in looking at your pictures, I wouldn't move your Atmos speakers closer to the wall. Where you have...

Interesting conclusion about having to bump volume to hit reference levels. I actually had to back things off 4 or 5 dB with the Kscape version. Bizarre. Agree with you Mike. Fun escape movie that has some warts.

I think so… I’m not sure there’s a good use case for using this between a source and a processor… unless the processor is set to pass through. But even then, I doubt it would be worth it

Awesome!!! Would love to hear your thoughts on the new crop of 2024 oleds!

Super interesting. I'm sure the science behind LFE and how it interacts with your room dictates that... and that's just the front of your room, right? There's probably a wall equal to that, sub-wise, in the rear?

I haven't watched it yet! I am very slooooooooooow to get to TV series. Especially once baseball season starts. All of my attention gets sucked away to the O's. It's addiction that's probably best described as an affliction. A mentally abusive relationship that brings me way too much joy...
