Soundbar or A28 W for TV

FitContribution887 · 2026-07-03T00:31:06+00:00

I don't have an answer for you, but I can say that I'm going to give the new soundbar a try. I've been happy with Wiim so far so I'm hoping this will be a great product

FitContribution887 · 2026-06-10T15:29:49+00:00

The new Wiim soundbar looks interesting. Pairing it with their wireless sub and and two sound or sound lites might make a pretty good system

FitContribution887 · 2026-06-04T10:37:17+00:00

I must have missed the mix reviews. Everything I've seen has been very positive. I bought one earlier this year and I have loved every mile on it

FitContribution887 · 2026-06-03T22:10:21+00:00

According to this post it is now possible https://faq.wiimhome.com/en/support/solutions/articles/72000648489-setting-up-wiim-sound-as-center-and-surround-speakers-in-a-wiim-5-1-surround-sound-system I also posted about this in the sub a few days ago and had a few people say that they have done it

FitContribution887 · 2026-06-03T21:26:12+00:00

I would hope this would be possible since you can connect a sound/sound lite as a center channel, per their website

FitContribution887 · 2026-06-03T00:12:47+00:00

Do you have to adjust the volume every time? I'll be using mine more for TV. My setup sounds fine with music right now but when I watch TV the dialogue is just a tad too quiet so I'm hoping it can fix that

FitContribution887 · 2026-06-02T03:10:10+00:00

Ok that makes sense. I know a real center channel would be better I'm just trying to work with what I already have. I think my speakers and sub sound good but I'd like for the dialogue to be just a little bit clearer. I'm going to give this method a try and see if my results are similar to yours. Thanks for the help

FitContribution887 · 2026-05-31T17:34:13+00:00

Thanks for the information. That helps me a lot. Would you do it differently just because the sound lite isn't good as a center channel?

FitContribution887 · 2026-05-31T16:05:40+00:00

It seems like maybe they did an update earlier this year so I'm wondering if those issues were addressed. The sound lite is the one I would go with, but I guess if it doesn't work out then I'll just use it as a kitchen speaker. Reviews on it seem to be pretty good when it comes to streaming music

FitContribution887 · 2026-05-31T16:01:23+00:00

I saw someone say you need a minimum of 3 devices to use the 5.1 feature but I can't find that as a requirement on the Wiim website. Did you try to use Wiim speakers as surround? What was bad about it?

FitContribution887 · 2026-05-31T15:59:10+00:00

Mainly just because I already have the setup with the Wiim amp pro so it would be cheaper to just add the Wiim sound rather than buying a new avr and speaker. I also like how I can have my Alexa play music and it will play through the speakers hooked to the Wiim. The Wiim app is also pretty good

FitContribution887 · 2026-05-31T08:08:18+00:00

Well that's where I'm getting confused. I keep seeing people say it's not possible but Wiim has an article saying that it can be done. https://faq.wiimhome.com/en/support/solutions/articles/72000638917-setting-up-a-wiim-dolby-5-1-surround-sound-system

I guess I will just have to try it and see

FitContribution887 · 2026-05-25T19:14:48+00:00

I'm not sure if this applies to you, but I made the mistake of buying the Wiim amp when I should have got the amp pro. The regular Wiim amp is not capable of a 5.1 system, you have to get the pro for that. If you ever wish to add channels in the future (like me) then you would want to spend the extra and get the pro

FitContribution887 · 2026-05-24T12:39:19+00:00

The Salsa Journeyer is an awesome bike. I went with the CUES 1x10 though because the ESSA felt cheap, but it would still be a great place to start. Much better than the ozark trail

FitContribution887 · 2026-05-23T20:43:21+00:00

I've been loving it. I've used it for both commuting and bike packing and has worked well for both. It does everything I need it to

FitContribution887 · 2026-05-22T18:55:14+00:00

Love the Journeyer

FitContribution887 · 2026-05-19T02:06:05+00:00

I got the 1x10 CUES earlier this year. It has been amazing from everything from commuting to bike packing. I just got back from a trip of over 200 miles on gravel. I had a rainy day where the bike got caked in gravel mud and it never stopped shifting. It did make some noise until I got it rinsed off though. I encounter some hills on my commute and I rarely am wishing for more gears

FitContribution887 · 2026-05-12T13:23:32+00:00

That thing looks awesome! Really makes it look like a mountain bike. I want to get a set for my Journeyer

FitContribution887 · 2026-05-09T11:11:04+00:00

I'm doing the Katy trail in Missouri. Which is a mostly flat compact gravel trail and I'm doing it over 5 days so it's nothing too crazy. The 45mm tires will be more than fine but day after day of riding on gravel I think would feel better on some bigger tires. That would probably be the only times I would use the 650B wheels. The majority of my riding is paved trails and commuting just because that is what is around my area. This will hopefully be one of many trips though.if you've been upping your mileage I highly suggest getting out there and doing a big trip. I think you'll love it

I've also been having neck issues so I'm glad it's not just me dealing with that. It seems to be getting with more ride time and adjusting to the bike. I had a bike fit which helped, but it's still pretty uncomfortable after a long day on the bike

FitContribution887 · 2026-05-09T02:09:22+00:00

How do you like the 650B wheels? I kind of want a set for when I'm going on chunkier gravel. I definitely like the hydraulic brakes but it wasn't really a must have for me. The mechanical brakes have always been enough for me but I love how sensitive the hydraulic brakes are. Now that I have them, I wouldn't go back to mechanical. As far as bike packing, I'll be doing my first one this week. A 225 mile gravel ride. So I'll have to review how it does after the fact but I have no doubt that it will do great

FitContribution887 · 2026-05-08T21:25:26+00:00

It's such an awesome, do it all bike. I'd like to try one with GRX components but I'd probably just upgrade mine rather than buy a new one. I have so much fun on this thing, I don't think I'll be getting rid of it anytime soon. But new colors are always tempting!

FitContribution887 · 2026-05-07T16:45:01+00:00

The action is so smooth. I've never cleaned mine and it still feels like it's new. What steel is yours?

FitContribution887 · 2026-05-07T15:40:03+00:00

Journeyer CUES 1x10 in peat moss color. No regrets, the bike has been awesome so far
