Sticking with the more Home Theater content on HiFi Guides theme, as many of you are aware the fed has given you $1200 and some of you might want to spend that money on upgrading your system. I personally want to get a new receiver that can pass a 4k HDMI signal to my TV and will do Dolby Atmos. I’m going to need to buy speakers for Atmos unfortunately I can’t do in-ceiling speakers since I live in an apartment and I don’t want to do the stupid Dolby bounce speaker. so my only real option is to do elevation speaker the problem is there aren’t a lot of choices and the ones from big brands like Klipsch and SVS cost way too much money in my opinion for an effects channel. what are some affordable elevation speakers solutions that you’ve come up with?
I’ve been running a set of the svs prime elevations. Love them. They re voice matched to my svs prime front stage. So seemless with the other speakers. You can send them a lot of power and they do well. I wanted to punch some holes in the ceiling but that plan got nixed by the boss… she like the svs up there. I order their gloss white ones and had to wait a while for them to come. Before that I had a set of Pyle speakers up there, that did the job… but the definition the svs dump out is very nice.
Side note the hardware they came with was top notch.
I think these are the “go to” if you cant put holes in the ceiling or your renting a space.
I recently bought this Sony Soundbar, which is incredible at sound at full madness i would say. I never experience movie theatre like sound at home. The Dolby 7.1 is super amazing, you can set multiple subwoofer at any direction on your room.
The speaker is a premium but at the same time it’s magic.
There seems to be hidden outputs in some Sony soundbars.
3.5mm outputs for 2 rear speakers and 1 subwoofer.
Mainly these soundbars are designed to be used in wireless mode with 2 wireless rear speakers and 1 subwoofer that are supported. Using both together probably creates some delay between the wireless and wired connections so that can sound weird.
Plus some manual tuning needs to done on rear speakers and sub in wired more and high possibility for room node make things worse with the delays and that impossible to fix.
