    Casually reading this thread.  I upgraded the den, but I did it with the least amount of planning, fuss, whatnot.  We use an Apple TV and stream everything (Netflix, Youtube TV, Disney)

    Replaced the 70" Sharp we have had since 2012 with a 85" Sony X90L.  Room is 23 x 14 (my recliner, when leaned back, is about 13 from the set).   Put bias lighting behind the set, which improved things visually, especially at night.

    For audio, I had a Pioneer receiver and a modest 2.1 setup with a sub, but wife complained in the past about the size of the speakers, etc.  Plus, you had to do the remote juggling (yeah, I could have purchased a Harmony, but I digress). So....

    Out went the existing setup, and I replaced it all with Sonos.   Arc for the soundbar, a pair of Subs and a pair of Era 300's (with stands) for the rears.  Incredibly easy setup, and it just works.  Judging from Reddit and whatnot people have issues getting Sonos equipment to work properly, but all of that seems directed back at your existing home network and wifi setup.  If it's deficient, Sonos equipment will suffer.  

    I did add a Sony UPB-X700 Ultra HD blu ray player, because reasons.   Bought the Ultra HD version of Oppenheimer and it looks/sounds glorious.

    Wife happy, although it took her a bit to get used to the rear surrounds.  For a week or so, she would always think something was happening in the kitchen.  

     

     

     

     

     

    How are the Era 300s?  I am thinking of upgrading from the Ones for the surround sound and wondering if the cost is justified.

    I googled "donk" so I could educate myself. This photo was in the article I read.

    Which one of you is this?  You know which one I am talking about.

    Well, I guess that since he was embedded with the club this season, he was in more scenes, but most of what he did was nod at the end of a scene or roll his eyes.   We learned that he's gay, but that's basically all they did with that. 

    His hair was perfect

  5. Anyone tried the new Sonos Era 300?  I am considering replacing the two Ones I use for surround, but they are a little pricey if there is not a significant upgrade in sound quality.

    I nominate Blue Velvet.

     

    I’ll send you a love letter fucker…

     

     

     

    First time I saw it was when it came out as a freshman at Dobie, on a date with a freshman bowhead sorority princess from Kingwood. Good times.

    My friend's dad rented this for family movie night because he thought was a sequel to National Velvet.

    I don't understand why they're listed before Auburn...same record, no h2h yet, not alphabetical...?

    Probably because aggys win over arky gives them a better record in the division since Auburn is winless in the West.

    I am aware of all that.  But, but I am confident had the UPI been around back then, they too would have "awarded" aggy the mnc prior to their bowl game, and then they won their bowl game and we did not and thus also garnered the AP mnc.

    Winning the bowl is why the the 1969 and 1963 teams also garnered the AP title while the 1970 team shared it with Nebraska, which we would not have done had we won the bowl game.

    Winning the bowl game is just better.  I can't believe I'm having to explain that.  I also can't believe I'm having to defend aggy 1939 mnc.  Crazy times.

    1963 AP championship was awarded before the bowl game.  AP awarded championship prior to bowl game until 1968 except for 1965.

    Jimbo is waiting for slooch to put out is Top 44 (or whatever) list so that the coaching staff knows who to recruit. 

    And slooch is waiting on Jimbo to get enough commits so he knows who to put on the Top 44.  In other words, they're fucked,
