  1. 1. - nice, why no 85? I kid I kid 2.- Marantz, Denon, Yamaha are the main players, avoid the $500 range (poor power amp) 3. - Good choice - great home trial/return policy 4. - don't count out 2 smaller subs in lieu of one large sub if the room fits them better (WAG factor) Streaming is personal preference, I love the ease of Apple TV 4K(Chromecast or roku, Nvida etc - but internal steaming options usually the worst); 1 HDMI eARC from AVR to TV, everything else runs through the AVR. in your example, the Chromecast is plugged into the AVR, not the TV, but if not possible ( I don't Chromecast), the HDMI out will still be able to playback this audio through the AVR
  2. you should be able to do that, you will need to look into the AVR's amp assignment menu and make sure you are running all 9 channels and not splitting between zones (not mandatory, but optimal performance) Next is speaker/surround set up - select the surround parameters you want Easiest way to explain is start with a typical 5.1 system; that is L/C/R, 1 sub and 2 rear surrounds. Adding 2 front height gives 5.1.2 Adding 2 rear presence gives 5.1.4 the consensus online says 5.1.2/4 will sound better than a 7.1.2 with today's surround decoding and the way the movies are mixed from the studio "atmos=presence for yamaha" "rear surround" and "side surround" are not atmos but considered part of the 5. or 7. configurations I would make sure all power is going to the main zone (leave zones 2-4 unpowered). Then select the 5.1.4 surround option Left/Center/Right 2 Front Atmos/Height or Presence (terminology diff by brand - placement-some can select if these are in ceiling, on top of L/R or on wall above L/R) 2 Rear Surround 2 Rear Atmos/Height or Presence (again, some will have placement options to choose from) ----------------------------- update, found manual from owners manual set for 5.2.4 (using rear presence speakers) - pg 22 set presence speaker placement (height, overhead or dolby enabled sp*) - pg. 26 set speaker impedance (per your speakers) pg 27 speaker connection wire diagram for your set up - 7.2.2 + 1 zone - pg 32 web_AV17-0235_RX-V3085_2085_om_A_En_D0.pdf (yamaha.com) @nineliveslost
  3. You really don't need high power for anything but the L/C/R; if going to bother with separate amplifiers, focus there as it would be wasted on the surrounds/atmos/rear etc. Yamaha AVR's in this price range have good digital amplifiers in them
  4. It has the ability to decode 9.2 surround channels (not 11), it can only process 9 channels and 2 subs for Digital Surround/Atmos output. The other channels are for a second zone, think patio speakers etc allowing two sources to be played at the same time (radio outside zone 2, cable tv inside Zone 1). This AVR has the ability to run 4 different zones (not a huge feature for most home applications). You will often see an AVR that can process 11 channels but only has amplification for 9, these will have preouts like you have here to add a separate amp and process the full 11 channels of surround/atmos etc, but must be classified as an 11.2 or 11.4 channel receiver.
  5. I would slide Jabari to the 1b but agree with everything else.
  6. “Corporate/creator responsibility “ Better? “It’s not that my series sucked, you suck” is standard their standard response. Those defending seem to take it personally
  7. Wasn’t directed at you personally, and the responses/articles defending the show most definitely focus only on a loud minority bitching about agendas while ignoring the majority who simply think it’s shit.
  8. It’s easier to claim bias/bigotry to excuse poor storytelling than to accept personal responsibility. Rouge One out front should have told you.
  9. Pilot threatened to turn the plane around when one of the passengers said he works for the Washington Wizards of the sky.
  10. new TV deal next season will help, and $25 million of that is supposedly from charter flights. If the $50 million is accurate, does that mean each NBA player is losing about $45K a year on the WNBA? ($50m/2/550 aprox # of players)? Does the men's revenue split come before or after WNBA revenue losses?
  11. Reece's interviews are way more entertaining than watching her shoot 36% from 5 ft or less. The villain role will play well with all of those who hate CC for reasons not related to basketball. Her style of play is the same style that has had the WNBA lose money for 25+yrs annually. She simply doesn't stand out in anyway when watching the game for a traditional NBA fan. Still think the Olympic team made a huge mistake not putting CC AND REESE on the team. You would then capture all who love CC and those who love to hate CC. Market the past (which no one cared to watch) meets the future that people actually tune in for. I think the players' worst fear is that CC would be one of the best players on the floor when surrounded by talent regardless of playing time (which there would be plenty for a team that hasn't lost in decades), the blow to the egos would be nuclear.
  12. It’s a different sport and there is nothing wrong with that. Find a way to make it entertaining.
  13. Is it wrong to admit your core audience for a space ninja, space wizard and spaceship heavy product is male? Men love frickin lasers.
  14. A: I was just playing hard trying to make a play for my team. It is unfortunate I hit Clark in the head, and I understand the rule regardless of intent. Im happy she is ok and that’s not why we lost today. Ladies need to watch Bull Durham on the flight home.
  15. Falcon scene was nice too
  16. At least six people were transported to hospitals with "potentially serious" injuries, emergency response officials said, ABC News reported. The Austin-Travis County EMS said four adults and two children were transported to local trauma facilities. Banks said two groups began fighting with each other near the vendor area during the Round Rock Juneteenth Festival at Old Settler's Park when the shooting began. During the fight, at least one person pulled out a gun and opened fire. A description of the suspect was not released by police, as Banks said there were multiple descriptions of the suspect and different accounts of what happened during the shooting.
  17. Was about to ask if the pace car has to pit
  18. What would it cost to just move up one spot and take Sarr or Zaccharie Risacher? Both seem to be the best fit for our team
  19. or a live chicken, or pudding. This team would be so much better with last 2 years of Chaz right now.
  20. Bregman has a 15 game hitting streak? In a row?
  21. WNBA Attendance Is 105% Higher When Caitlin Clark Plays Key Highlights: Caitlin Clark has caused attendance figures to jump 87% compared to opponent’s average home attendance Clark has accounted for 33.5% of the total WNBA attendance in 2024 When Clark plays, WNBA games average 15,591 fans in attendance (+105%) compared to 7,645 fans when she is not in action Indiana Fever average 36% more fans on the road (15,142) than any other WNBA team The Las Vegas Aces are the only team that didn’t set their season-high in attendance with Clark in town but the defending champs have operated at max capacity for nearly every home game. When removing the Aces from the equation, Clark’s effect grew even bigger to a whopping 137% compared to when she’s not in action. No. 2 overall pick Cameron Brink and the L.A. Sparks are next on the list, drawing an average of 11,104 fans on the road. Meanwhile, fellow rookie Angel Reese and the Chicago Sky are third on the list with an average of 10,365 fans in attendance on the road. Attendance at non-Caitlin Clark WNBA games this past weekend: 7,638 4,015 9,878 7,035 3,265 10,207 7,024 Attendance at Caitlin Clark WNBA games this past weekend: 17,274 17,401
