    Looking for a good center speaker to pair with the Monolith 365IWs. I'm hoping to find something around 6 inches tall if possible as I don't want my TV to be too high in my space. Looking for something in white if possible. Any suggestions? Found this one: Polk Audio Reserve R350 (White)

    I need some recommendations and guidance on building a very basic sound system for my new TV and my turntable. Ideally I would like to build a 2.0 system with room to grow to a 2.1 for my TV and with ease to switch to my turntable that will sit underneath the TV. I've read a ton online about how...

    So, I came very close to purchasing a Nakamichi Dragon 11.4.6 soundbar, but after spending a bit more time on this sub, I'm doubting that decision. My two main issues with the separate speaker and avr setup are in order: 1. Cable management. 2. Atmos ceiling speaker setup. If Nakamichi is...

    I'm building a dedicated home theatre room & my current plan is to reuse my existing 5.1 setup and add in 4x atmos speakers. The room will be 12.5'x13.5', with approx 7.5' ceiling. My receiver is old (i.e. doesn't support 4k), so I'm looking at picking up a Denon avr-x3800h. I'm thinking the...

    So I posted over on the r/Hometheater subreddit and I only got one helpful reply and another guy telling me the TV is too high and to rip out the trim around my fireplace lol. As the title suggested, I'm looking for buying advice on a $700 home theater setup. Originally I was looking to spend...

    Hey Everyone, New poster, longtime lurker here. I recently picked up a JBL Studio 580 pair, 520c for $500 on FB Marketplace. My sub is a Dayton Audio 12 in, but it has not been plugged in for either test session (lost the RCA cable and new one comes in today). They were in great condition...

    Hey all, I'm going to be renovating my basement soon and will have the opportunity to rearrange my media/TV area, taking drywall down to studs. I currently have 3 Sonance Symphony 623T in wall speakers (15 years old) as my LCR and am wondering if it's worth it to upgrade these. Room size is...

    So, I currently have a Sony STR-DH590, which has served me well. The only thing I don’t like is that I have it hooked up to a Sony TV and idk if it’s because of the Bravia sync, but it can be kinda wonky sometimes and turn itself on, which in turn turns on the TV. But I digress. I’m moving to...

    Hi all, I'm an absolute noob in this world of audiophiles so please don't be hard on me lol. My modest setup currently runs a Focal sib&cub 5.1 (yes i know its pretty old). I recently shifted from an Onkyo RZ-620 (it got fried) to Denon X-3400h. The next objective in line is to make my system...

    Currently I have cheap JBL SP8II as front. I would like to upgrade to something better which actually would make a big difference. I have an SVS Ultra Center so JBL SP8II does not keep up with that quality. I have a box built for the In Wall SP8II and has infinite baffle with a hole in the wall...

    I have a very large, open concept room where the TV is on one wall. My wife has strong objections to a bookshelf/stand speaker setup and wants a soundbar/all in one solution. The use case will be 70% music and 30% TV/movies. I've narrowed it down to two choices: Sonos Premium Immersive Set with...
  20. Audio Theory, Setup, and Chat
    Hello again to all, It used to be a relatively solid rule of thumb that if you had speakers of differing quality/caliber, the best choice of distribution would be to put your best speakers at the front and lowest quality at the back. (Same “rule” applying to the quality of interconnects...
