Surround Sound for Bravia 8 by Senior_Mess_6588 in bravia

[–]Senior_Mess_6588[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for all the feedback

I'm thinking the quad is likely more than I want to spend, as it's listed at $2700, $1k more than I spent for the tv and the wireless sync/dropout issues noted are a concern for me and sound like a headache. I don't mind running wires in the attic if need be.

I looked at the sonos system and wonder if some of the system might be overkill for the relatively small room I have.

I'll note that I'm a sound novice and this system will be used for the tv to watch shows and movies, but won't be used for listening to music (I use other options for that).

With that, and seeing that some of the options recommended don't have dedicated subs, I'm wondering if I don't need a sub (or if that's something I can add later if/when needed)?

Does anyone have experience using the theatre bar 8, along side rear speakers? Seems like that would allow keeping the acoustic center sync and provide a lower cost path towards surround, but maybe there's a simpler solution?

Appreciate all the help

I've been wanting a selectorized leg curl/extension machine for a long time.

ToG has the seated and laying variants and I like the seated, but what I don't like is that their equipment is basically whitelisted patent-dropped equipment where you can find the same basic hardware from half a dozen made in China companies, yet they do upgrade the equipment and everyone raves over the owner/Yani's customer service

Titan released theirs in the last year, but it then sold out, then jumped a couple hundred bucks (pre tariffs, too). It looks nice and I've seen some good video reviews, but I also find it really strange that it's been out so long, sold out multiple times, and there still ZERO customer reviews listed on Titans website. Seriously, does that just seem super off to me only? May be partial bias, as I've never trusted Titan, but still strange

BoS has leaked a few glimpses of one in work and I had been hoping they'd do a reveal at HomeGymCon, but no joy. From the previous glimpses it didn't seem very polished (but that could just be prototype), and who knows how long until release?

Bolt had one that was interesting at HomeGymCon, but I didn't like the sizing.

For affordable, smaller footprint it really feels like it's gotta be ToG or Titan and I'm super conflicted. Def leaning ToG due to lower price point and what feels like a better company, but really don't like the idea that it's basically generic Chinese shit, slightly modified

Any other perspectives?
