I must say, this might be a forum record of the shortest time elapsed from "I need/ Help me decide" to "Got it set up and running" that I can recall.

Well the reason why I went Atmos was because I got a new AVR. Actually let me back up. It all started when I got the new display (77' LG C4) and with the new display I immediately had problems with connections etc. with my old AVR (Yamaha RX-V679). Since the AVR was so old (2014) I just...

You know both thiings can be true right?! I can say having just recently gone the atmos route (5.4.2 from 7.1) that there is a difference that makes a difference. Its more enveloping and immersive. You get more of the "I'm in the middle of the action" type feel than with only a single layer...

I'm definitely not the one to keep anyone caught up on current events but I upgraded to a new(to me) AV receiver and it was a 2023 model. All I know is Atmos, Aura 3-D, and some kind of DTX codec was new to me but I have no idea if it is the latest. When do the holographic projectors come out...

The type of sub (sealed v ported) does not make a difference. If it is properly designed and adequately powered it should do what it is supposed to do. So the real difference is ported subs should have a higher output down to the port tuned freq. below the port tune it will roll off very...

What do you mean 'seems'? That is literally exactly what you are doing.

1. Adding a second sub will usually make the overall frequency response of the whole room better for the LFE. Every room has interactions with the sound waves that will cause peaks and nulls in certain freq. ranges. I would say the main benefit is the better overall response across the room...

With you being in the time crunch you are in I would look at the classifieds in your area. Might be dicey trying to get a new purchase reliably shipped to you if you order something online. Can you connect the sound through analog to test if it is indeed the HDMI board?

I was trying some new adjustments and tooling around with the HT yesterday and did a bunch of re-calibrations etc. and things are getting even better. Question for any other PSA sub owners (or those in the know), the gain structure on these subs is not typical. It seems that the gain does not...

So you getting us all worked up over nothing

Okay so a little bit of confusion/bewilderment. I mentioned in post #32 that CEC stopped working without me changing anything. Well last night it started working again. I did nothing to initiate any change. What in the world is happening here?

Shoot an email to PSA. Was it just with that one scene? Can you replicate the same sound with different material? Is it volume related? Is it source related? I always wondered if down firing subs would eventually have 'sag' as the surrounds age and wear. My SVS is over 15 yrs old and I'm...

So its been almost a month and I am still getting things settled but I think I have some pretty definitive conclusions. Background: Got the 2200 working in the mix. Had to get a A-D switch cause the 2200 only has analog outputs and the receiver only has digital video inputs. Picture was...

No need to stop now! You can't have that new TV and new receiver sending out signals to old speakers. Don't be acting all new around here!

@PaulyT how is this not a sticky thread?
