    Laser TV

    I plan to finally build a dedicated media room in the basement in the next few years. By the time I get that done, I will be ready for a new display and the combination of cost, screen size, picture quality and light rejection make these projectors hard to beat.

    Laser TV

    My next display will likely be a short-throw laser projector.

    Those are gorgeous.

    Bad reception vs. TV wear-n-tear

    We went entirely to streaming years ago and never looked back.

    Finally 100% in on streaming!

    YouTube Music was very disappointing after years of using Google Play Music. The phone interface is okay. Not great, but passable. The TV interface is completely useless. All it does is send you back to YouTube.

    Finally 100% in on streaming!

    I am seriously considering a second music streaming service. I get YouTube Music with my YouTube Premium subscription, but I'm not all that wild about it. I hate to spend money on something I already have, but I am considering either the Tidal integration with Plex or Amazon Music HD.

    A different sort of speaker - Semi-Outdoor Patio Rig

    Those are mine and I absolutely LOVE them. They sound way better than any outdoor(ish) speaker has a right to and I really enjoy listening to music out on my back porch every summer.

    What are you watching via streaming?

    We've hardly watched anything other than YouTube lately. Mostly politics (Ben Shapiro, Matt Walsh, Blaire White, Bill Maher), travel, history, and music. We spend most of our time these days with books and music.

    Universal Remotes?

    I bought one for my parents and it is not that bad. Basic, but not bad.

    Universal Remotes?

    There are a couple options other than Caavo with Logitech gone. Sofabaton makes a half-decent traditional stand-alone IR universal remote. I bought one for my parents. It isn't terrible. It reminds me of the lower-end Harmony remotes without the Hub. There are some other Chinese remotes out...

    Universal Remotes?

    The Caavo is pretty slick for what it does. Check it out.

    Universal Remotes?

    Logitech got out of the market because demand is low.

    Universal Remotes?

    Caavo is about the only game left in town. I have one. They are fine if you don't have anything fancy, like triggering lights and whatnot.

    AVS Forum Dynaudio Thread

    Those people need some Soundhound Piss for their draped cables.

    AVS Forum Dynaudio Thread

    They are wrong about the designation, but correct about way it usually gets used. I know that my family room system with three speakers and two subs is 3.1 with two subs, but when talking with people will often use 3.2 as shorthand (especially with people who don't know the difference).

    Monolith: Transformers Feeding Amp Modules

    Class D has come a very long way. Every speaker in my house runs off Class D amps, except for the ones in my main system. I have zero complaints about the sound.

    Gear Proliferation

    Oh hell yes! I just need to win the lottery, so I can have you build me a pair of Statements. Holy shit, those blew my mind.

    Gear Proliferation

    I have a problem. Well, my wife says I have a problem. That problem is a combination of gadgetitis and electronics hoarding. Let me explain. Remember that time Flint modded a pair of Insignia bookshelf speakers? I have them in my office with an old Energy subwoofer I bought in 1997 and a...

    Got a new TV set w/mini-LEDs and HDR

    I didn't go with OLED when I bought my last set, because I wanted something bigger than 65 inches and the 77 inch OLED was something like $20k. I am still quite happy with my Sony XBR, which still cost a bloody fortune, because it was the first generation of 4K HDR and I had to pay the early...
