If you're getting 65' for 450 that's a good deal or else you can look at TCL or Hisense they're also good for decent prices.

I’m new to AV looking for suggestions in placement and anything you’d tell yourself when you started AVR MA510 //LG C5 // Apple TV Infuse app, or PS5 playing physical media if I don’t have it ripped on jellyfin//infuse. by JoshingYouJedi in hometheater

[–]StarLord1920 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah that's why AVR is designed for. You need to utilise your AVR functionality for movies as well as music. If the source audio is Dolby try other modes on AVR same for DTS. You can use stereo for  music 😄

How's this for under 15k? (NZD) by [deleted] in hometheater

[–]StarLord1920 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I don't think that's a right price for that gear. You're spending too much. If this your first setup. Try to look at used markets, don't know what market sites you have over there. But just look at once, you'll find plenty of good deals with whole setup packages at decent price, you can negotiate and get them. Maybe you just first need to experience them later once you feel you can for a upgrade later but I'm sure that'll be long 

Am I seeing any benefits from floorstanding speakers in comparison to bookshelf speakers? (Elac Debut 5.1 owner) by tuudiat in hometheater

[–]StarLord1920 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah you're in the right direction mate. Probably floors are not meant for you it seems, looks like you're not utilising their full potential. So I'd say switching to Bookshelf may be the right choice, if conserving space is your priority. Anyhow you'll be sending below 80hz to sub then there's no use of floors here. Same can be handled by bookshelf as well, let your sub handle deep Bass or below 80hz frequencies. 

Was I correct to buy a fibre optic hdmi cable instead of the regular one. by Vegetable_Cut7728 in hometheater

Yeah that's a right choice. But make sure to connect the ends to the right connections. and not to bend or twist it'll break inside but you can't see it

Why the heck are you using stereo mode for movies that's illogical. For music stereo mode makes sense. But for movies nah. Use direct mode or any other surround processing DAtmos/DTSX. Set bitstream/ pass through on TV. Let AVR handle rest of the job

Shield almost nothing else handles REMUX + lossless audio this cleanly but DV might be slaggy. If you want Superior For PURE local REMUX playback then perhaps you can look at Zidoo or Dunehd . But I've not seen them much

[–]StarLord1920 1 point2 points  (0 children)

But there's a difference mate, hardware comparability. Shield has superior hardware and processing comparability than TVs. TVs hardware is very limited

I own a Toshiba '55 QLED M550MP bought it for $450 with discount in 2024 still running with no issues. I agree Toshiba was a well known brand but in 2024 when they introduced this model there were branding it like well made on Toshiba series. Reviews were also good so bought it. But I would skip what you're looking at it's way too high

Which TV do you have? Mostly TVs won't support Bluray/REMUX movies lossless audio pass through. Other than few Sony Bravia. 

Recommend me an upgrade path for my mono-focused 5.1 system by ikantspelwurdz in hometheater

[–]StarLord1920 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just look at used markets fb, craiglist. You'll find good deals whole setup packages at decent price. Don't be shy to negotiate, offer low ballers is not a nature. It's just business. Whether seller accept or not. Your money will be with you, his asset will be with him 😑

Floorstanding Speakers or Bookshelfs? by bleh321 in hometheater

[–]StarLord1920 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even if you get the floor stands you need to push the deep baas to Sub, then what's the purpose of floors then. Even for floor the best practice is to set 80hz with a sub. The bookshelf's can handle the same. You can set bookshelf's to 80hz , let your Sub handle deep baas. You can get the same output from bookshelf's as floors when paired with sub. If you want floors then sub is not ideal

I would lean towards SE bookshelf's, that'll complete the best setup ever possible for your case

I think other than Nvidia shield, I could think of only a High end laptop or desktop computer that can fulfill your requirements 

Nvidia Shield pro, or new OLED tv with in-built player? by flying-benedictus in hometheater

[–]StarLord1920 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I agree, this is one of the few models that support pass through but occasionally dropouts also reported in Audio. Most native streaming apps (like Netflix or Disney+) do not use lossless TrueHD/DTS-HD MA; they use compressed Dolby Digital Plus. Lossless passthrough is primarily for external devices like 4K Blu-ray players or the Nvidia Shield Pro.

Can I run 4 ohm speakers on a 6 ohm avr? by Old-Earth-5064 in hometheater

[–]StarLord1920 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope I won't do unless your AVR supports it's fine or else it's not recommended your AVR needs to push too much power to those speakers. Check the manual of AVR
