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.

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.

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?

Homegrove

mono-stereo Sony 790. Atmos-sound at a budget. Only issue I found on research was that it can’t handle speakers that go down to 4 ohms. Mine are luckily all 7 six or 8 ohm-speakers. Also because they’re on budget, higher end speakers tend to go to 4 ohms.

Has anyone found a home cinema solution where you can feed in an Aux from a mixer to incorporate a DJ setup?

Im using a standard hifi stereo Denon amp in a 2.1 setup, with a deck into its phono and optical out of the TV. The TV sound is OK, but the amp is more audiophile than setup for dialogue so some film speech gets lost in the effects/music.

Sonos has a horrendous delay with any aux in, so they are no good. Has anyone heard of a receiver that bypasses all the processing and eliminates delay? I once had a Pioneer receiver that was superb but the dolby/effects processor affected all channels and resulted in an annoying delay that rendered mixing impossible.

Any ideas?

TitianWarrior

IndustryStandard My AV amp has a “Straight/Direct” button for exactly that purpose.

Along_the_Wire

Why would you want that?

Smallman1

Anyone else think IS is slightly over egging the omelette?!

Homegrove

TitianWarrior yeah, you should consult the manual. Most amps have something like that, where it puts through the input sound as it is with no added effects. In my Sony it is Pure Direct. I use it all the time, when the amp tries to make something surround that isn’t it always sounds a bit shit.

IndustryStandard

TitianWarrior What amp do you have?
