I want a TV stand that can be used on any TV to place it on a dresser that can be adjusted in height and swivel (and tilt if possible). I am worried that the stand I get will block the TV ports on the back which would make it difficult to reach the port after the TV was adjusted. I would love if you could just drop a link to what you use if you can't think of another one to suggest. Thanks!

I recently bought an apple 4k tv and I’ve noticed that with “match dynamic range” enabled none of my apps detect that I can play HDR. With the setting disabled and DV tuned on my apps will detect that I can play HDR, however ALL content is displayed in DV(HDR) including SDR content.

Recently purchased a PB 3000 and noticed it making a popping sound ( about 2 seconds into video )during the opening of Oppenheimer 4k blu ray. I had the the volume on the app set to -10 ( was calibrated at -15) and the trim in the AVR was -8 (value audyssey set) Master volume on Denon AVR was -9. Dynamic eq and volume were set to off and the sub makes this sound whether audyssey is on or off. Plugging the ports and putting it into sealed mode made the sound go away so I know it’s the ports. I’m assuming this pop is port chuffing and I’m wondering if this is normal for a PB 3000 being played at these levels. The scene is quite bassy but I thought it could handle more than this. Called SVS and they said I’m running it to loud. Anyone have any thoughts ? (Btw the other noises are the walls rattling) Thanks!

I've made some posts about troubleshooting some distortion issues I was having, and as it turns out, my Denon AVR-S540BT paired with some KEF Q150's just doesn't pair well with the audio levels I am trying to listen to music at

I am 11ft from the speakers, and I want to listen around 85db, and the KEF Q150's paired with the AVR-S540BT struggle. I end up with distortion, and there has even been a time where the AVR-S540BT turned off and wouldn't turn on again for a few hours (Thermal shut down I guess?)

My plan is to get some better speakers, and then an amplifier after that. My current plan is to get the KEF Q350's. Right now the Q150's have been pawned off to the HT to replace some cheaper Neumi speakers there

What other speakers should I be looking at? The Q350's state 110db, so I guess I should be looking at something equal or greater than that?

Budget under $1000 if I can help it, but willing to go higher if I need to

Floor standing speakers will not work in the room, the speakers need to be placed on a bench/desk at the end of the room or wall mounted

I do have a sub in the setup.

New to home theater, I replaced a sound bar with the recent Adorama Jamo bundle that came with the Onkyo tx-nr6050. I only have a 3.0 setup at the moment.

Most content streaming is Paramount plus, and after a random amount of time the sound starts to distort. A simple mute and unmute fixes the problem. I was curious if this is more likely a receiver problem or a paramount plus signal problem. Google TV with eArc to receiver is the setup.

Any help/suggestions appreciated.

My floorstanders (B&W 703 S3) already do a great job simulating a centre channel and give a decent whack with bass, but people say a dedicated centre makes a big difference. But I also love the feeling of sub-bass rumble & feeling the thump. So I can’t decide which would improve movie experience the most for now.

Currently my 703 are handling centre, bass and normal L/R duties.

(Does this actually boil down to if I would prefer more accurate localisation of voices on screen etc, OR feeling the rumble of sub. ?)

I will get them both eventually, but only have budget for 1 right now.

(Would’ve made this a Poll for simplicity but it won’t let me)

Currently have 2 Fluance Elite Bipole speakers that have been in my system for a while. I’ve upgraded the rest of my 5.1 system over the last few years (Marantz Cinema 50 receiver, Bowers Wilkins M1 LCRs, SVS SB-2000 pro sub) and these are finally due. I like the way bipole sounds due to the main listening position being about a foot off the back wall in an open concept room. I’m down to a few options with some sales going on but I’m not sure where to go.

Final choices are:

Klipsch RP 502s - $330 on sale

Monitor Bronze Bipole - $675

Monitor Silver Bipole - $800

Used Bowers Wilkins DS6 - $300

SVS Ultra Surround - $800 for the pair since they’re being discontinued

Anyone have any experience or thoughts? I’ve been torn between the SVS and Klipsch (just because of the discount and price) but I could go either way. I may also purchase a slim center channel to replace the M1 but undecided there - not sure if that would impact what I should get for the rears.

Hey guys,

We wall mounted my TV (75” Samsung) and when I turned it on, I realized it is upside down.

It’s a 2-person job to wall-mount this TV and my buddy is already gone. Is there anyway in the settings to “flip” everything?

Edit: we were very drunk, I only noticed the day after

Thanks!

I think a lot of budget end black speakers have this cheap dull appearance, but I don’t know if having white speakers is a good idea, since they might break immersion. Especially at night.

What are yall’s experiences? Jarring at first, but then they blend in?

(Note: All NTSC equipment) I have a Yamaha RX-V657 (2005) supporting external speakers for a Sony Bravia XBR-75X850D (2016). My 7yo daughter has started to develop an interest in gaming, and I had pulled out my consoles, and she was trying out different games (She played SNES Link to the Past for five hours this weekend). I was connecting and disconnecting each console via one of the composite video inputs on the television. After she went to bed, I took some time to pull component video cables out of storage, and I hooked up the receiver component video output to the television component input. I ensured the receiver up-conversion feature (denoted in the manual as “Video Conversion” in this case) to have a console composite video sent to the television via component video signals. The result was an intermittent blinking picture. The monitor would remain on a black screen five a number of seconds, then for one brief frame, the picture would appear. I attempted to go through the television menu looking for settings related to analog signals but the menu itself became unusably slow while the SNES was playing. I figure either the receiver video conversion routine is faulty or the television component filter is faulty. I will test the television using my Xbox (2001) with component cables. Does anyone have experience with up-conversion or has experience with obtuse television settings related to analog inputs? Thank you.

I have dual PSA TV2112 subs and a Denon 3700H receiver. FYI I have not yet performed any calibration. The subs are great and have been extremely pleased with them but am curious:

With sub trim at -12 db for both subs I am only able to adjust gain to approximately 7-8 o'clock before the subs begin to sound poorly. I am just curious to know if this is unusual? The subs sound great on most material at approximately 7 o'clock. There is just a very small window from minimum gain to unpleasant and I thought that this wouldn't be the case with the trim at -12 db.

I currently have the subs crossed over at 80 Hz in the receiver and have the crossovers on subs at max. I have the room control setting on subs at minimum.

When I watch hockey the rink and lower seats are great quality but when the cameras change angles it lowers the quality. Lg cinebeam 4K smart projector 110” screen about 12 feet distance between the two.

I have a question for the panasonic dp-ub820 owners. I ordered one and it's expected to arrive in the next few days, and I'm just curious if the unit tends to run warm? Between my avr and amp, I don't have room for it in the middle opening of my media console, so I was planning on keeping it in one of the cabinets on the side. But wasn't sure if that's a good idea or not since ventilation isn't all that great there. Thx in advance!
