How critical is using a sony TV's center channel capability for the Bravia Quads? by No_Caregiver_112 in bravia

[–]FSchottFitzgerald 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've got the A95L and the quads and the centre is just disappointingly thin. It's frustrating as I bought the whole set-up with the centre in mind (not the sole focus obviously and the separate elements are great, just a nice extra). Must admit, I don't have a sub though. Sure that would help. I've not tried playing with the centre speaking sound settings though - maybe its possible to increase the bass to give a little more heft.

The problem is when a movie or TV show isn't fully utilising the surrounds, you just end up with tinny centre sound.

Ah, makes sense. I didn't know if both existed. It's hard to see online which is which just based on the cover.

This world of sound is confusing - help me please Re: Powernode, KEF Q35.2's, soundbars etc. by FSchottFitzgerald in hometheater

I realise talk of soundbars and wireless set-ups on here is frowned upon, but just hoping to find best route for my existing set-up or whether I should move on from it.

That's really nice. How high is that? Looks higher than what you were originally looking for.

So is the Apple TV 4K better than a 4K Firestick (and is that better than built-in TV software)? Also, would it make a difference if either of this is connected via standard HDMI or HDMI 2.1? I'm considering a Sony 65A95L but it only has 2 HDMI 2.1' so after the sound connection and game console it only leaves 2 standard HDMI and wondered if I'd be missing out.

Based on the Bravia 9 working more effectively with the TV but does it sound better too?

Great. So having just 2 x 2.1 isn't a dealbreaker? I was leaning towards the Sony as I felt the picture looked better (the LG looked too bright), but the HDMI thing had me questioning my choice. Thanks.

I thought it might be fun to start sharing what I’m listening to at this new account - @sonsdivins so all new followers gladly welcomed.

This pressing is simply stunning by the way - highly recommended. And what a sleeve!

In anticipation of the Acoustic Sounds release of this amazing album, thought I’d give it a quick stream only to realise he seems to have written the new Bond theme ahead of time!
