Hello, First time posting on the forum so hopefully I get this right. I'm fairly new to home theater and besides using soundbars and cheap Costco type of sound systems I don't have much experience in the field. A few years ago I paid over 25K for a local Control4 dealer to install a bunch of...

Hello all! I was hoping this awesome community could provide some assistance in helping me match a center channel to my Quad Z1s. I have been having quite a bit of trouble finding any info to help me with my decision. So here's the deal...Quad does make a ZC center channel, but it's...

I just bought a new Denon S760H receiver from Costco and am having a problem hearing the voices from my center channel when listening to video with Dolby 5.1 surround. The center volume is fine when not in surround mode but gets washed out when the surround sounds are active. I used the...

Specifically, I am looking at this speaker: https://www.monoprice.com/product?p_id=15700 Would it be appropriate to use 7 of just that speaker in a 7.2 installation? Would there be a downside compared to using 3 of them for LCR matched up with 4 of the 8" 2 ways of the same brand for the...

Hi First of, I'm not a huge hifi geek, so everything I write here will be from research done online. So feel free to correct me all you want :) And English is my second language, so hope I got all the terms correct. I'm trying to decorate my living room and am in the process of designing the...

Hi, I am not well versed with home theater setup, but I bought a house and it has five built in speakers in the living room (the previous owners had some kind of home theater setup). I was hoping to get some guidance on how to set this up for myself. I am starting from scratch (Minus the five...

Hello, I would like to choose a pair of speakers for my living room 50% music 50% ht for my first proper hi-fi set. My living room is 17m2 which means that I wouldn't be able to push the speakers very far from the wall (about 20cm), so I'm looking for a pair of speakers that aren't too loud in...

I have the rp-250c but i am looking for something a bit smaller in the depth and height.

Pardon the rudimentary drawing, but I think it will do for my questions. Please also excuse my many questions and random thoughts, but I certainly appreciate the advice! I can do up to 13.2 with my Denon AVR x6700H. In my old room, I was using three Outlaw 2200 monoblock amps for LCR and the...

Hello everyone. I have almost zero knowledge about stereos, amps, speakers, etc. just to preface this post. I just got an old antique turntable/radio console with a functioning radio that I want to swap out the speakers and add a Bluetooth receiver so that we can play records, radio, or...

Hello, does anyone has a recommendation for 50-100€ speakers. I prefer Ac-speakers over US ones. Thank you in advance

I bought 250 ft. of 12/2 speaker wire for my front L/C/R speakers; it's white. Should I exchange it for black? Not sure I should bother, but I'm concerned about it being visible from behind an AT screen and/or false wall.

I've been doing some research and watching youtube videos on how and what to best pair with my receiver. However, I am little lost and could use some input from an expert. My goal is to set up a 3.0 system (unless otherwise advised). My current gear: TV: Sony X90J 50" Receiver: Marantz NR 1403...

Within this layout would it be better to have a 7.1.2 or a 5.1.4 Dolby atmos setup? With soundproofing done of course. Roof to ceiling height would be between 9.5 to 10 feet Appreciate the help!

The obvious answer would be that i just dont like them, or they just arent that good. But they were presented to me by my grandpa, who paid a good sum back then when he bought it. I've already told him that i've tried multiple positions and variations, but i just cant make they sound good in my...

Looking at revising my theater room and going from a 110” screen to a 135” screen. I have two rows of seating with the main viewing position 9’7” away. The updated view angle would be 56 degrees (see picture/sketch). Curious if this will be too big of a screen or if anyone has additional...

Hello! Curious on others opinions about this. Currently have 2 Polk S55 towers running as sides in my 5.1 setup. Fronts are all Polk Legend Series Got offered a decent deal on a pair of Polk R100s and debating taking them to replace the S55's (no room for 7.1 here). My question is, would...

Hello Experts, I am trying to get 5.1 setup with capability to add two height channels later on. I have shortlisted Denon AVR X1700H. I am on a tight budget. I could shortlist these three speakers but not able to decide which will go best for my Center, Left and Right Channel (one brand out of...
