I’ve got the Samsung HW-Q90R - bought in Nov 19 along with the 75” Sammy - perfectly times for a lockdown. It’s been updated obviously, but it works brilliantly. The sub is tremendous.

Unbroken1 indeed. Their soundbar is the best in the business, but one hell of a unit.

rhouses just stay away from home theater-forums. Like any hobbyist-forums they too are full of assholes. I’ve not asked any guestions myself, but looking at them the typical response to any “I have this and this and I have this problem” guestion is met with “you’re an idiot for buying that, you should have got this instead.” Not helpful at all.

rhouses Sometimes fart sounds come out when I’m listening to fist thumping prog

I bought an LG soundbar and Sub for 30 quid off ~~a smackhead~~ Gumtree when i lived up in Edinburgh. Does the job nicely.

@Homegrove You mention HDMI, I think you need HDMI with ARC so as to control volume and have it turn on and off with your TV remote. Unless you’re a man of many remotes.

Homegrove

mono-stereo yeah, I can do remotes. Earc these days. Arc can’t really do Atmos I think? Whatever I’m getting it’s going to be 7.2 with Atmos capabilities even if I’m not using them. But I think I will, I can hook some small speakers in the ceiling.

Along_the_Wire how deliciously Aryan.

Amps

I hope you all go deaf.

Fuck it, pulled a plug on a Sony AV receiver. My blu ray-player’s Sony too, so one less remote if I can’t get the arc HDMI-thing to work. It’s dolby atmos, so I bet I’ll be looking at height speakers in no time at all, because 5.1 just doesn’t cut it. 😂

I’ve got SONOS for music so went with their soundbars and subs. Both sizes of each plus Ones for surround. Really happy with both set ups, tho I’m no audiophile tbf. Plus you can link them all as one system to provide neighbours more reasons to detest you.

rhouses

Had to endure a Sonos Bose debate once, where I honestly couldn’t given a fuck… brain was melting. The Sonos did sound good tbf.

I’ve got a Yamaha RX-V475 amp/receiver with Cambridge S75 floorstanders as my fronts, a Monitor Audio bronze centre speaker and some old JVC rear satellites. Everything goes through it, all controlled with a Logitech Harmony remote. I have been thinking of changing the amp as it doesn’t have HDR/4K pass through

Schoolboy error 😬

TitianWarrior

Mad_Cyril not really, I’ve had the amp before either of those things existed

Homegrove

First episode of Masters of the Air was very good stuff to test my new amp’s surround sound. Plenty of plane sounds going around. Show is decent too.

mono-stereo

Homegrove which amp did you go for in the end Grover?
