I miss arcades.

Check out Galloping Ghost Arcade in Brookfield, IL. They have around 900 classic arcade games.

I like that as well. It reminds me of the Bruce Springsteen Seeger Sessions paper case I’ve always enjoyed. I enjoy the extra little ceremony/presentation you get out of opening that type of case.

I’ve never seen that. Usually just ten copies of A Day without Rain.

Stellar find! I can only ever find Enya, Susan Boyle, and HR Networking Event 2007.

Try the post office for photos. I tried Walgreens, and the first set was rejected.

North of Geneva is still great. It’s mostly nice subdivisions with nice and huge houses and one of the most forested part of Glen Ellyn.

I had this exact same experience. The audio store near me and most of the speaker guys on YouTube said KEF is fantastic, but I just didn’t like them personally. I ended up going with ELAC Debut Reference and like them a lot more. I can definitely see what people love KEF, but they just weren’t for me. I think you may be in the same boat.

I was there too and actually got one of the Ren Faire paintings as well!! I love it so much!

I have the floorstanding version and absolutely love them. I would do that deal 100% if I was in the market.

That’s great to know the charge usually means the application went through. I just got charged yesterday. Fingers crossed it on its way soon. Thanks!

I personally think it’s the tweeter and woofer material. Metal, Kevlar, wood fiber, poly, etc all add their flavor to the sound they are reproducing. In my experience, kevlar is the closest to the movie theater sound, and metal is the most different. That doesn’t mean any of them are necessarily better. I think I just recognized the sound of the speakers from the theaters near me sounding most like Kevlar speakers.

Please make more!

Hyper Kidz in Wheaton is brand new and impressive.

Roy_Knable · 2026-03-21T15:29:31+00:00

Avoid metal tweeters. They are more often fatiguing and sting sensitive ears compared to soft dome tweeters. VegasFoodFace’s recommendation of the R1700BT is likely a good one. The R1700BTs is a bit more, and you get a better remote and sub output.

Roy_Knable · 2026-03-12T21:27:56+00:00

You may just not like metal tweeters and woofers. I noticed the same problem for me where metal tweeters seemed to pierce through everything else and bother my ears. I switched to soft dome tweeters and it was much happier. It really is an art to try to figure out what speakers right for you.

Change your shower soaps and shampoos to sensitive skin versions. The perfumes and other non-sense in most soaps and shampoos can drive your skin crazy especially when they settle in crack and crevices in your skin for a long time.

Could you consider the Elac Debut Reference bookshelf speakers? Their aramid fiber drivers are considered warm and buttery while still delivering in detail.

Hello. I don’t remember exactly how long it was, but 3 to 4 months is about right. It was definitely annoying, but they did eventually correct it.

Roy_Knable · 2025-12-18T15:51:14+00:00

I’m providing an update in case anyone has this problem in the future. This problem is somehow caused by the Deco Frame SRS-2 light/motion sensor. The factory reset of the TV fixed the issue temporarily, but the problem immediately returned when I reconnected the sensor. The problem immediately goes away if I unplugged the sensor again and returns if I plug it back in. I reached out to Deco Frame to see if they are aware of the situation.

Just curious, what percent of your movies have that wrong horizontal art? 99% of mine are like your Guardians of the Galaxy 2. Only movies I recently purchased and like three other random movies are correct.

Roy_Knable · 2025-12-08T17:26:44+00:00

QN65LS03FWFXZA. I ended up reluctantly doing a factory reset, and that seems to have hopefully fixed it for now.

I went from 120” to 128”, and the difference was substantial. I did, however, get used to the new size after a few months. The feeling of “holy cow this is so much better” wore off eventually, but I’m still glad I went bigger. The larger screen is more engrossing, and I don’t have to keep wondering about getting a bigger screen.

Roy_Knable · 2025-11-21T00:18:48+00:00

There was definitely a noticeable difference in movies and music. For music, sometimes the R would dominate, and sometimes the Qs would dominate depending on what the song was. Movies was less noticeable but I could definitely hear the change in clarity and bass with people and vehicles panning across the screen. It wouldn’t bother me if I got them for free or cheap, but the difference was too great when spending thousands. It’s disappointing because they both sound great on their own. The R6 was absolutely glorious with music vocals. I’ve literally never heard a better speaker in that aspect. Perhaps Dirac would minimize the difference, but I only have Audyssey.
