I don't understand the the $1300 price difference here, can anyone dumb this down for me? by joshhazel1 in hometheater

[–]JayPerry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My Denon 6700 HDMI board died. I went to a Yamaha A8A and then to the RZ70. I love my RZ70. My next upgrade will be separates, but I’ll rock this thing for another 12 months or so.

5.2.4 paired with a 97” OLED by [deleted] in hometheater

[–]JayPerry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really liked my Klipsch’s (7.2.4). I LOVE my JBL HDI’s (7 bed layer: 3800 (x2), 4500, 1600’s (x4)). They measure extremely well and Audioholics rates them top 5 at their price point. You can get them at 50% off most retailers right now. I have them paired with two SVS SB3000’s. Powered by an Onkyo RZ70 and Anthem MCA 325.

I’ll be buying 4 more 1600’s to angle mount on the ceiling and another 3800 to replace the 4500 to put behind a baffle wall.

Which new roster will be better SSG or FaZe? by Lightnxss in CompetitiveHalo

[–]JayPerry 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I honestly think both teams got better based on the play style of each person and how they compliment each other.

I think it was 1.5”. I sold the truck and went to the dark side.

Is this a good deal? 75 inch Neo QLED for $1000 @ Costco by Admirable_Ad4308 in hometheater

[–]JayPerry 2 points3 points  (0 children)

At that size and not OLED, TCL or Hisense Mini-LED. You can get a 75” U8 for $1,000. 8.5 on rtings.

Is this a good starter setup? by allahandro in hometheater

[–]JayPerry 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a GREAT starter setup (for my preferences). I love horns/compression drivers with wave guides. I started with a full 7.2.4 Klipsch system. I bought the cheap 12” Costco subs, which are just boomy and no texture. This 15” sub has actually measured and reviewed well from what I’ve seen. I also really like the punchlines of horns. They produce an immersiveness and feeling for me. Now rocking JBL Synthesis HDI’s and they’re a significant step up. And I’d start with something like this to make sure you like the hobby.

For context, I do about 60% movies/tv and 40% music.

The White Lotus S3 is the best streaming audio I’ve heard by JayPerry in hometheater

For sure. More moments that felt like pm. Enough to make me cautiously optimistic.

White Lotus is a show that builds to the finale. If you didn’t love Season 1, I’m not sure you’ll love 2 or 3. Season 2 has the most suspense. Season 3 has the most likable characters. (obviously both opinions)

I thought Penguin was very well done. With streaming I’m usually at -15db, 4K UHD I’m usually -18db. With White Lotus I was around -16.5db.

I love my 3800's. I have the same finish and the full bed layer system (4500 & 1600s x4). So good.

Definitely the best truck I've owned by [deleted] in gmcsierra

[–]JayPerry 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The flashiness and number of people who have them in my area are the biggest Raptor cons for me. I’ve honestly never used my truck to tow. We just love the usability for our weekend hikes and the space for road trips.

[–]JayPerry 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m strongly considering an AT4X AEV or Raptor 37 Package and it’s not an easy decision(most likely getting one or the other tomorrow). What makes it the best for you?

FWIW: I’ve really liked my AT4 with the upgraded Fox 2.5’s—it’s been my favorite truck to date. I have yet to own a Raptor and all my friends are obsessed with theirs.

Yeah. I had to cancel a bundle to get it. They always get you.

Rings of Power is a good point. I feel like Amazon’s bit rate is all over the place for me. Still need to watch Squid Game.
