  1. The embarrassment was in 4k. We’ve got that going for us
  2. The Race had a recap video which is fine, but there is a few second clip of a visor/helmet cam, and if real, is a drastic improvement. (around the 4:40 mark)
  3. Meant company. Can pick up and skip shipping cost from cedar park
  4. Local to austin you can email/call or text directly with owner and designer. send them your room dimensions and tell them what you are trying to do. Customer service is top notch and read the reviews vs svs I believe they offer a free trial period as well 3.1 *biased but owned one of each As far as an AVR goes, get something with good room correction. If not opposed to refurbished, accessories for less is an authorized marantz refurbished retailer and offers extended warranty https://www.accessories4less.com/make-a-store/category/avreceiver/home-audio/receivers-amps/home-theater-receivers/1.html
  5. Compact 15 (same footprint as a lot of 12s) sealed servo sub. https://www.rythmikaudio.com/E15.html
  6. 4k race footage plus Surround sound is still worth a watch. Just skip the real housewives parts.
  7. A center channel speaker is a critical component of a home theater system set-up as it delivers about 70% of the dialogue from movies and television. Without one, you're missing out on vital parts of what you're watching. Most frequent complaint/want is clear dialogue from the center. Can’t stress enough how much a three way speaker excels over a two way center speaker in home applications. The detailed spec will clearly state if the speaker is 2 or 3 way. Avoid the 2 way center if possible. Good budget friendly example in piano black from SVS https://www.svsound.com/products/prime-center?variant=9532387395 Top line Ultra in piano black https://a.co/d/5Tqx4uT SVS also has a 45 day in home trial period available Monoprice 365c THX https://www.monoprice.com/product?p_id=34189
  8. Can’t they all be galactic douchebags? Both foreign and domestic? Comparing the two options for the next Travis County DA, the choice seems clear, regardless of who gives money to who.
  9. MD nails it. Just about any new TV these days will look great in 4k, it’s the youtube tv (720p) and other streaming apps that you need to worry about on the lower tier sets. Still, even an OLED should be cheaper than a new projector, new screen and installation
  10. If want to stay at 85 inches, ditch the projector. It will underperform compared to a decent 85inch TV in every metric.
  11. DQA: How much do the padded orange seats/seatbacks cost to add for the season?
  12. I have a 3.1 system after a 9.2 system in my old place. What you should spend your money on is a center speaker and build from there. You want a true 3-way center. Timber matching is bullshit so don’t worry about brands. AVS Forum has tons of info on speakers/bookshelves etc. Places like crutch-field allow hassle free returns after 60 days if want to do an in home demo, as does SVS, Monoprice THX etc. Next on the list would be the subs. Last would be the bookshelves and the main question there would be what is your ratio of music vs home theater?

    Burgers

    Earl’s eating burgers at Dirty’s today so I will follow the champion.
  14. Local to Austin, great customer service and price. Better for music/HT mix than the SVS Rythmik Audio • Direct Servo subwoofer products
  15. The Arctic burst toughened you up and those 36-49 degree days seemed like nothing. That and we didn’t always have wind on those cold days which helps.
