    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.

    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...

    Those look great! I have no idea what she is talking about.

    New Amplifier

    I don't think you are going to find one with an A/B switch.

    New Amplifier

    One minor complaint about this amp. The noise floor is high enough that I turn it off when I'm not using it. That is one place where the $140 price shows. Another is that the subwoofer output has a fixed 200hz crossover point and no gain control. The speakers only run full-range. It is...

    New Amplifier

    I wanted to put a music system in my office that was not connected to my computer. The main reason is that my Mackie CR3s are connected to my KVM switch and move back and forth between my PC and the company laptop. I don't want to stream music over the corporate network and re-wiring everything...

    Speakers for bedroom TV?

    The cheap speakers I bought actually sound better than the Andrew Jones designed Pioneer soundbase I was using before.

    Speakers for bedroom TV?

    Edifier makes marginally better speakers than the ones I bought that are still under $200. The main issue you will run into with all of them is driver size. If you have a big room, you will likely not want 4" drivers. Fluance makes some nice stuff, but they start at $259 and go up from there.

    I bought some mediocre speakers on purpose

    Me too. I'm kinda proud of myself for NOT buying the better speakers.

    I bought some mediocre speakers on purpose

    I wanted to get a pair of speakers for the master bedroom. At first, I was looking at great little speakers from Fluance and Audio Engine in the $300-500 price range. Then I realized something. These speakers will never be used for "serious" listening. They will play background music while we...

    What did you do with your dvd collection?

    This is a lot of why I just buy most of my movies on Vudu (or fill-in-you-favorite).

    Streaming ads during your TV programming

    I will not pay for any content service that makes me watch ads. I'll pay an upcharge to avoid ads, but I have no interest in any service that makes me watch them.
