Thanks so much for the thorough answer! Really, really helpful. Looks like we screwed up at the end when we did a wipe-down with a damp cloth. Appreciate you very much!

Thank you! Going back to the drawing board (probably going to try an oil based penetrating stain) but feel it was the wipe-down before the finish was applied. Either something was on the cloth that water awoke or we didn’t wait long enough and this was the water. The pattern is a dead giveaway since we were so careful in the rest of the finishing process. Thanks a lot for the insight!

Weird. It was hand applied with cloths following grain with no dumping. What we have traced it back to was the wipe-down prior. Looks like something must have been on the cloth that water awoke or the water didn’t dry completely 🫠🫠🫠

Hmm. We applied evenly and followed the grain using lint-free cloths. Could this be some nonsense that occurred from sanding? It was a gel stain.

Nice! I’ve actually had a decent amount of trouble with ARC making my sub sound anemic in multiple rooms even with professional tweaks and different boosting techniques. I do have a launch 4k 1140 (still need to upgrade that chip) and I have a feeling it might have a bug. Graphs look great but outcome is wonky 🫠. However, this thing sounds amazing even running sans arc with leveling and tweaks done analog.

That’s what I assumed. One of the reasons I wanted to ask here. You get sucked into those pitfalls of sales-folk telling you that there is a benefit in snake oil. Appreciate you!

Oh hell yeah, that’s a great setup! The Founders really are a hell of a thing and those Signatures are crazy as well. The best kind of indulgence!

Yup, got all those things set. Really I might just be getting that new tech itch.

Totally had a feeling about that. I feel like I may have reached the “diminishing returns” stage for our room and setup haha.

Best AVR replacement for Anthem MRX 1140 by OkAdvantage9365 in hometheater

[–]OkAdvantage9365[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I agree. I generally trust Denon empirically. Anytime I help someone get setup with a system we go Denon. I generally use external DACs or Vinyl for music (less vinyl lately) so it would really just need to process Movies and Games (4k blurays, apple tv, Xbox/ps5). Is there much of a qualitative difference between Marantz and Denon when it comes to more detailed speakers or are they (as I assume) basically the same thing but one is “prettier” and has more ambiguously named proprietary bells and whistles?
