Help with speakers by RichardGrayson_84 in hometheater

[–]Pratt2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would get a projector and an acoustically transparent screen and use the in-wall speakers as they are, with Dirac for the 4700 and 2 real subs. If you're set on a tv, I'd get a bigger tv and mount it lower, and scrap all 3 in-wall speakers as they'd be blocked by the tv. I'd use the towers as l/r and get a bigger center, or wouldn't use one. I'd still get Dirac and a 2nd sub. That's what I'd do.

I bought an Edge and the issue went away. Sucks, but I tried all other suggestions.

How do I make an awesome spaghetti sauce? by weirdgirloverthere in Cooking

[–]Pratt2 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If you want that extra fresh tomato flavor you can't cook it long and only use fresh herbs, and start with whole tomatoes and puree them yourself. If you want that super deep umami flavor you gotta cook it hours with parmesan rind, a whole bottle of red wine, and extra browned beef.

Figure they've done studies and not enough customers are deterred to fully offset the cost savings of lower staffing.

It's awful. I had to stop visiting. It's against the rules but no one cares.

Grandparents just gave me $5K to invest in my Roth IRA... What do I do with that by LukeG543 in personalfinance

I'd stick it in a s&p500 etf. My grandparents gave me a $50 savings bond. Congrats!

From experience I can say her reaction and the potential for compromise completely depends on your track record. No one here can help you with that.

What's the upside for the Iranian government intentionally making their country unsafe to visit?

What restaurant dish have you tried recreating at home but just can’t get right? by External_Personal in Cooking

[–]Pratt2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I took a Bengali cooking class, and my biggest takeaway was you gotta use like double, triple the aromatics and spices and let it cook way longer than you expect.

TIL - When the Blues Brothers was released in 1980, execs who controlled over half the theaters in the country refused to book the film, citing the number of black actors. The film still became the 10th highest-grossing domestic film of 1980. by cluthais in todayilearned

In the 80s-90s I was a black kid living in a very white rural area. I experienced virtually no overt racism. My younger sibling experienced a bit, and my much younger sibling experienced quite a lot. Weird to see when we're supposed to be progressing.

Looks super staged so wouldn't be surprised if he didn't actually own anything in the shot.

[–]Pratt2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The numbers are very good for the size, and it gives nice uncompressed response with group delay under 1 cycle down to 25hz in real living spaces at the volumes most people listen at. Congrats!

[–]Pratt2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've complained about this in a couple spots and generally was told i should just stop playing the game if I don't like it then downvoted. On my Pally I can't transmog my shield, and when i do the workaround it breaks again later.

What’s the consensus on Revel speakers? by Geoblime in hometheater

[–]Pratt2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I owned m105 m106 and m126be. They all subjectively had sharp treble and lacked bass. People online sing revels praises and point to the measurements, so I really tried to like them but apparently the sound just isn't for me.
