JVC and Sony Unveil Projectors, Disney Embraces Dolby Vision, and Sound United On the Ropes (Again?)! That Plus More on This Week's HTNR!

full?d=1727879929.png

(October 2, 2024) On this week’s HTNR Podcast, we’ve got some heavy hitters making waves in the home theater world. Both JVC and Sony have dropped new projectors that are turning heads, and we dive into the exciting—and pricey—details. Plus, Sound United may be on the chopping block as its parent company faces financial questions, leaving the future of brands like Denon and Marantz hanging in the balance. Ascendo has unleashed a subwoofer that you’ve got to hear about. Decision makers at Disney have finally listened to physical media collectors by embracing Dolby Vision for future UHD releases. There’s also interesting news coming out of DTS, which is tackling the issue of dialog intelligibility with an AI-driven solution that could change how we hear our favorite shows. And speaking of innovation, we’ll talk about a company that’s bringing low-latency head tracking to Bluetooth headphones for a more immersive sound experience—perfect for Dolby Atmos fans. Last but not least, we’ll take a look at KEF’s new Q Series speakers, packed with technology to make your music and movie sound better than ever, and Klipsch’s Flexus Core 300 soundbar, which might just be the best-sounding Atmos bar to hit the market.
