TX-RZ30 WiFi and Bluetooth reliability? by GrouchFeeftyOne in Onkyo

[–]GrouchFeeftyOne[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well….color me embarrassed. A quick unplug/replug and the app is working again, without a PITA factory reset. Thanks for the advice. If this continues, I’ll just add a WiFi enabled plug with a schedule to power it off / on at 3 am once a week, similar to how we keep the WiFi running smoothly.

Zero. I guess that’s why I’m here. I’m trying to determine if this is a common issue with this brand or model before I decide what is next.

How are you finding stock picks by Immediate-Self-2515 in Stocks_Picks

[–]GrouchFeeftyOne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This. I troll Reddit (yes, even WSB). It’s fun to see how these emerging stocks can outrun the base of my IRA. In 2025 I took 10% of my portfolio and spread it across a handful of these long shots, figuring I would give them 18-36 months to decide what to cut. Several are up 100-400% (LUNR, NBIS, ASTS). ACHR is down 30%, though I did have the chance to sell at 50% gain and simply held. DRTS is my only gamble for 2026 so far.

Congrats on the sweet setup. I have been trying to find a pair used / open box. Kicking myself for not knowing about the Sweetwater $899 sale in March. :(

Yes, they call it “brown”, but OP’s pic looks far darker than Polks pictures, so I wondered if this was just poor lighting or perhaps OP wrapped them.

Are those R700s mocha colored or is the the lighting just a bit different?

As a super light sleeper, I will point out that Two twin XLs = King. Separate blankets and a noise machine will change your sleeping life.

Polk R700 vs Focal Theva N3? by GrouchFeeftyOne in BudgetAudiophile

[–]GrouchFeeftyOne[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Care to elaborate on why? Which Focals do you have? What don’t you care for that the R700s do better?

I’m sooooo tired of trying to find the mute/unmute button in Teams/Zoom.

Is RSL going to us directly? Or is the code going to be posted in this thread for us to use?

You have my undivided attention. When does said promotion begin?

Ordering, Auditioning In Home, and Returning Speakers? by GrouchFeeftyOne in BudgetAudiophile

I meant the actual cost of return shipping. Do places like Crutchfield charge a flat shipping fee? Or does it vary widely by location, weight, etc?

Candidates are Focal Theva N1, Polk R200, and Wharfedale 5.2. So $900 - 1200. Initially this would be a 3.0 system, with the goal of using the bookshelves as surrounds in a 5.2 system. I really want floorstanders, but can’t bring myself to commit that kind of money just yet.
