Has he fixed your roof?

Old-Dutch

No, but he got his asphalt

It’s a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma.

My roof that is.

mono-stereo
Demo’d on Monday, requires total blackout, which would be OK for a pure Cinema room but not for watching stuff whilst other viewing options are taken!

Mad_Cyril

On the other hand, also demo’d some new tellys, were fucking tip top with Blu Ray.

Eat shit all you pokers of fun at @Homegrove

In another ‘talking to myself’ post have finally plumped for the following;

Panasonic TX-65MZ800B
Denon AVR-X2800H Black
Monitor Audio MASS 5.1 Midnight

All with 6 year Richer Sounds guarantee.

Arrives tomorrow but lack of available trade folks means will likely all be set up after I return to work 🤦‍♂️

Interesting stuff I know!

Mad_Cyril I hope you saved your £400 on the MA’s by joining the VIP club………

Mad_Cyril top that off with a Panasonic UB820 4K player and you’re set for a long time. Congratulations!

👍

And a few other bits & pieces.

If it gets enough use, and works well for music too, can probs see me upgrading them in a few years so a brilliant price.

They sound dece as they are though, so hopefully once and done.

Should be perfect for MixPub 😃

Homegrove

UB450 is a cheaper option, that’s almost as good.

Mad_Cyril

Thanks for the pointers HG

Mad_Cyril since you have AppleTv Napoleon is probably a good movie to test out your new system. Top notch Dolby Atmos-mix, and great visuals, even if the movie itself splits the crowd hated it/ liked it 90/10. Or rent the special edition of The Abyss from iTunes. Great new Atmos-mix in that one too with all the water effects.

It’s all sat there in boxes.

Need a decent unit and a radiator moving before setting up. Bad planning as would be ace now I’m off for two weeks 🤦‍♂️

Will get queued up for when its done though, thanks for the tip 👍

Read the manual yesterday, and switched the coding to Auto Format Decoding from Pure Direct. Both are supposed to play whatever you’re watching as it is, but AFD takes into account your speaker setting. Massive improvement. Just huge.

Went from darkening curtains to full black out ones in the home theatre. Pretty huge difference here in Finland when the sun sets for maybe three hours around midnight. Obviously the opposite is true in the winter, full darkness is not an issue while watching movies. 😀

Curtain chat… the board is truly alive and well!

Mad_Cyril Tapestry / curtain pun? I defo feel poorer.

@Mad_Cyril your home theatre still in boxes? 😀

Mad_Cyril

Homegrove Yep! Still box fresh.

Hard to get a joiner in to do the work we want 😕

Homegrove

Mad_Cyril this was what I was referring to with you buying expensive stuff to keep in their boxes.

Got Civil War 4K Blu Ray in the mail today, and it is by far the best reference disc to show off your home theatre to folks with. The Dolby Atmos sound is incredible in it. I also loved the movie otherwise, unlike most here. Importing that disc from the UK was not cheap(Nordic release is disappointing, regular Blu Ray with a 5.1 sound), so I better actually like the movie too. 😀
