home audio

Home audio systems are audio electronics intended for home entertainment use, such as shelf stereos and surround sound receivers. Home audio generally does not include such standard equipment such as built-in television speakers, but rather accessory equipment, which may be intended to enhance or replace standard equipment, such as standard TV speakers. Since surround sound receivers, which are primarily intended to enhance the reproduction of a movie, are the most popular home audio device, the primary field of home audio is home cinema.

    Question Surround Sound for a Caravan.

    Yup, you read that right! i swore blind i would never own a pikey wagon but hey ho, expectations change. I'm thinking of a small form unit that will do the front L/R and centre (plus maybe a sub). Not too concerned about rears just yet. Size is obviously an issue so im struggling to find...

    Question AMP/Speakers/Sonos

    So, I am pretty new to all this. Bear with me please. I currently have a bunch of sonos speakers, including an AMP and sub gen3. The AMP runs a pair of klipsch aw650 speakers that I had outside for the summer, but they are inside for the winter. Currently they and the amp are connected to the TV...

    Question Replacement for Onkyo TX-NR535

    I’ve had an Onkyo TX-NR535 for a number of years, but since moving house, I’ve only got the front three (Left, Right and Centre) speakers setup. The unit also doesn’t do 4K passthrough, so the tv (which can do 8k) isn’t getting the best source it could. I was thinking of getting a soundbar to...

    NETFLIX PCM 2.0 but is Atmos?

    Hi, Sony STR1080 woes again this time I don’t even think it’s the amplifier. I have a Samsung tv, eArc, all connected PERFECTLY, all settings set correctly. All subscriptions UHD etc. When I watch Apple TV + I can see ATMOS being played on an Atmos movie so I know I have set it forestry on...

    Looking for a little advice from a newbie. Due to limited space I purchased 4 PSB Imagine B's and 1PSB Imagine C. Also have an HSU VTF MK5 sub. NAD T748v2 AVR. 5.1 setup. Looking to upgrade the AVR as I'm planning to move and have a little bigger space. Possibly add 2 front floor speakers at...

    They say bigger is better, but let's be honest – it's not the size that counts; it's the performance that leaves you satisfied.

    In the twisted realm of center channel speakers, a motley crew has gathered under my roof – the SVS Ultra, the Energy Connoisseurs CC-10, and the lanky Polk Signature S35. The first duo, robust giants; the latter, a slender fellow armed with 4 x 3.5" drivers and a 1" silk dome tweeter. Today, in...

    Budget ATMOS receiver?

    Hi all, Having successly bought a decent 75" TV following avforums advice, my non eARC receiver and a dodgy subwoofer (it sits there 'womping' away to itself which sounds like it's coming from the receiver) mean I'm in the market for a new receiver. I'm looking for 7.1, incl 2 x ATMOS I have...

    Frontals for Atmos?

    What is your opinion (or experience) regarding one of the options provided in the Yamaha RX-V6A Receiver manual for Atmos layout, in relation to the FPL and FPR boxes (see image)? My room is made of masonry slabs and drives built into the ceiling are out of the question, especially because I...

    Hi, Sort of a 'mulling things over' question having been reading about DSP recently, and how adjusting the time alignment made quite a bit of improvement to my current amp. My unit is going to be 9 next year and has been (and continues to be) excellent. I'm hoping to move house in the new...

    Vancouver Home Theatre Thread

    Hi, wondering if there are any people on this forum in the Vancouver BC area? I've been wanting to hear different setups, kinds of speakers, experience bass levels, etc. Does such a thread exist, and/or can this start a thread like that? If this doesn't belong, sorry about that.
