I cannot say enough about what an amazing job Flint did on the speakers. The Chinese vendor I worked with on the plate amps was not easy to deal with and he had to go back and forth with them for months to get the firmware right. He also had to change the speaker cabinet dimensions at least...

A little more than two years ago, I set out to create a home theater company focused on fully integrating home theater systems into beautiful cabinets that blend into the décor of any room. Flint worked more than a year designing a fully active speaker system built around WiSA certified plate...

It was a pre-launch promo. Three years for a lump sum that worked out to $4/mo.

If I were not pre-paid for another two years, I would have considered dropping it over the Gina Carano firing. I'm getting super tired of this shit.

They cost less than a hundred dollars, so there is likely other stuff out there at high price points. My only complaint with them is that they don't sound great if you turn them up loud unless you add a subwoofer with a crossover and remove the bass from the speakers. That said, they are not...

Flint could make you something amazing to spec, but probably not active speakers at that price point. Have you looked at Mackie or Edifier? I have affordable small speakers from both and am quite happy with them. Mackie CR3s meet your dimensions. I have a pair on my desk and like them a lot, but...

The bit about not being Chinese made is a real challenge. I made a thus-far failed attempt to start an A/V company built around a product I will be able to finally show off soon. I tried to avoid Chinese products but... The subwoofer drivers were designed and sold by a U.S. company, but were...

Great story about Rick Beato. His channel contains over a thousand videos, mostly on music education. He could easily claim fair use for the What Makes this Song Great videos, but he doesn't. YouTube demonetizes most of them and the money goes to the artist. Every once in awhile, he has to fight...

We finally finished The Good Place last night and I really liked the ending. I wish all shows wrapped things up that neatly, even if it was a bit poignant.

We just wrapped up season 2 of His Dark Materials and really enjoyed it. I read the books long enough ago that I am not sure how closely they are sticking to the story, but what they are doing works.

My experience with Vudu is that the maximum bitrate is high enough if you have sufficient bandwidth to take full advantage of it that visible artifacts are rare on MOST content. There can be a lack of black level detail with some material in HD, but that goes away entirely with 4K HDR material...

I shifted almost all my purchases to Vudu around 2014 and am sitting at a bit over 1400 on Vudu and around 700 on disc. I only upgrade favorite movies that get watched a lot over time to UHD and only when they are on sale. I'm guessing I'm at around 100 including upgrades and purchases for 4K.

I have 8 full size, 1 half width and 2 half height Billy bookcases in my house. Most of them have glass doors because we mix books with fragile curios and we have cats. I'm a big fan.

Are those IKEA Billy bookcases?

I enjoyed it. It was definitely not in the same class as the original, but it was more mediocre than terrible. Working on a five star scale where Batman & Robin is a 1 and The Dark Knight is a 5, I would give this movie a solid 3.5.

HBO Max and Peacock were the main reasons I connected an Android TV device to a Roku TV. If all my subscriptions end up on Roku, I might not bother with it.

Google TV is the latest iteration of Android TV.

It is about $6/mo per service, except YouTube Premium, which is $15. I have a family membership to YouTube Premium, which includes YouTube Music. That is five named users, so not a terrible deal. I'm a bit bummed about the demise of Google Play Music, because YouTube Music is not that great though.

Google TV supports both, but I thought HBO Max finally made a deal with Roku (or was that Peacock?).

One advantage of the Google TV option is that it supports Peacock.
