I have the DTS Play-Fi SVS Prime wireless rear speakers and Klipsch RSB-14 wifi soundbar with subwoofer (the Master). I was able to configure surround sound in the Play-Fi app when I first received the SVS speakers after previously purchasing the Klipsch sound bar. Several months ago, there was...

Is the speaker by the door fine having a open space behind it? And should the one by the wall have an acoustical panel behind it ? I saw on a few websites the speaker should be about 2 feet from the wall but i dont have space to move it farther away.

Hi all. I currently have a McIntosh MC-302, and a pair of B&W 802D speakers. I would like to try to get the surround sound effect for music and maybe home theater. I was wondering if I would need a preamp like McIntosh MX134 in order to fully achieve that, or is it unnecessary?

I am setting up a new 7.4.1 surround sound system. I recently purchased 4 BR03 for the surround sound speakers due to their quality and aesthetic, but am wondering if they are overkill for surround speakers. I am planing to use RSL C34e as height speakers. Thanks for your input.

Hi, I’m in the process of upgrading my equipment here and there. I just bought a PS5 which will come in December, and to go with it a LG OLED65CX model TV. Ive had these speakers for a while now (9 years) and they were use when I bought them. They’re working perfectly fine, not damaged, no...

Folks, I spent the last couple weeks researching on Dolby Atmos soundbars as I’m looking to upgrade from my 2yo Samsung HW-K950 on Black Friday. Didn’t want my research to go to waste as soon as I pull the trigger so I figured it might be of some help here as many of us will be shopping from...

I am unable to get any surround sound out of my system when using Netflix. I have tested Netflix apps from several different sources: Apple TV 4K, Sony DVD/CD player, and my cable DVR (VIP5662W). All these boxes produce Dolby 5.1 or PCM 7.1 or DTS 5.1 through the receiver EXCEPT when using the...

Hey! I'm new to the community, and I don't know a whole lot about home theater audio in general. But basically, I'm looking for suggestions of what receivers would be compatible with my set of home audio speakers I got from my dad. The model of speakers is HTS5, and from what it sounds like I...

I am currently debating between these two for my rear surround speakers Klipsch R 41M and R41SA They both have the same RMS(50), Peak(100), Tweeter (1")and woofer(4"). My question is that the 41M crossover is at 1730Hz and the 41SA is at 4237Hz. Does this matter for functionality as rear...

After well over 7 years it was time for a new PC build. I also upgraded to Windows 10. Ever since I have been having annoying audio issues that seem to be pretty common issue for folks based on some Googling. I have an older 5.1 desktop speaker system. I've had it for years and have been...

Hello, I'm looking for a way to extract stereo audio for some headphones while also passing the source's surround sound through to the receiver. I need the surround sound and the stereo mix to be working simultaneously. The reason for this is that my grandfather has a hard time hearing and...

AV receivers are the heart of your home theater system, but you don’t have to break the bank getting one – it just depends on what you’re looking for. The upgrade from the stereo sound to 5.1 surround sound from an AVR based system was one of the largest leaps you can take, in terms of AV...

Ascendo Hands-On  When I recently moved from a stand-alone home (Philly rowhouse) to a high-rise apartment, I foolishly swore off auditioning monster subs and industrial-strength speakers. I figured that with the limitations of city living, my days of blasting a system in a dedicated home...
