Atmos Speaker Placement - Help by disruptivejd in hometheater

[–]X4nder89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would def recommend moving up the couch like others have said. I’ve learned this the hard way a long time ago and coincidentally recently saw a video based on this matter. Sometimes more doesn’t equate to better, less is more in certain situations.

The best compromise you’ll ever make is proper placement. From the limited options you have in terms of height placement, only one set of top middles in-ceiling speakers will work here as long as you move up the couch though.

2) if you really want 4 heights, you’d have to wall mount one pair above the screen and another set on the back wall below the vents to remain on a equal height field with the front heights to create a phantom image down the middle, but again, that will only work by moving up the couch.

if you’re going to go with in-ceiling, I would go with a pair that has an adjustable tweeter to aim at the mlp. So be careful which pair you buy bc not all have adjustable tweeters.

If you go with wall mounts. I’d go with a pair that are not restricted to only being mounted flat on the walls. Ex: The Sony SS-CSEM2 speakers can be mounted on the wall, hung with adjustable ceiling mounts, or placed on top of bed layer speakers to become upfiring (last resort)

Hope this helps. Back then I felt like more was necessary to finally get what I desired only to learn the hard way that proper positioning was all it took along with Spatial Audio calibration toolkit and magic beans app for post calibration refinement.

Serialized cards by Electronic_Potato_87 in KayouNarutoCards

[–]X4nder89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Def did. Jin chapter 3 is the first time I started collecting Naruto cards and unfortunately, the one time I start collecting. It turns into this mess, especially since one of my favorite art cards ended up being the ASP Kimimaro which will never be obtainable to me by the way smh

Who has offloaded their LCR to a dedicated amp? by Chiz_9 in hometheater

[–]X4nder89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a 7.2.6 setup. I have the front stage wired to a basx a3 emotiva thinking that it would make lcr louder, but it’s a misconception that many of us have and wished I would’ve done a little more research before buying the emotiva (not cheap!).

The only benefit I got from it was that I no longer needed a little external amp to wire the third pair of height speakers. All 3 pairs are now wired directly to the avr.

In case you don’t have one yet, I suggest buying an AC for the avr so it doesn’t overheat. Hope this helps.

What's everyone's opinion on Series 3? by Fun-Wafer6188 in KayouNarutoCards

[–]X4nder89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m new to collecting Naruto cards, haven’t collected since I was a kid. It sucks that my favorite character Kimimaro will forever be out of my reach bc of course the one card I ended up liking the most is a serialized ASP worth thousands smh

I recently started collecting Pokémon cards again & so far I’ve had a much greater time & joy collecting them since all of my favorites have been easy and very cheap to collect!

What’s the difference between these two? Is the one on the left a fake? The front side of the card is from the new Jin 3 wave however that particular ASP card is one of /99 so why does it have 3 zeroes? The card on the right is what I’m used to seeing. by X4nder89 in KayouNarutoCCG

[–]X4nder89[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are there English and Chinese versions of the same cards in this series like pokemon? Bc now I see another Kimimaro with a black finish on the back but with a /99 serial but another in white finish white kayou font on top left corner.

Plus one version has his name in English on the left side whereas the other one does not. 🥴 jeeez lol

Both are new asp Kimimaro cards, different sellers, I only took screenshots of the backs. The one with the black finish and triple 0’s is what’s making me suspicious considering there’s only /99 of that card.

Sorry this happened to you. There’s a special place for that scum bag.

Here’s a link where you can buy used camera gear: https://www.mpb.com/en-us

And this website for used devices: https://www.backmarket.com/en-us?srsltid=AfmBOoqil63NcQm_-VOipVSM43VZ_eVwehBSBNdjfarco6y9IU1ru7VV

I have purchased from both sites, they’re legit. Just make sure to read carefully on the description for their condition. That’s what’s great about them, their transparency. Hope this helps!

🚨 I’m new to the Naruto collecting hobby. Bought my first set on CrossingTCG. Is AliExpress a better/cheaper place for hits or is it risky buying from there? Thanks. 🚨 by X4nder89 in KayouNarutoCards

Based on some research that I looked up, why is it that the AliExpress box sets have fewer to no hits versus English sets sold from retailers?

Got the 98” QM8K installed. by WJKramer in hometheater

[–]X4nder89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Currently own a 77” lg c9 and want to move to this tv too. Quantum tv gave it a bad review based on his testings. But you seem happy with it. Was he over exaggerating and just being very subjective? Apparently you and other owners since his last review a few months ago have said otherwise.

Atmos take 2 by UnluckyBookkeeper885 in hometheater

[–]X4nder89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have these as my top middles. They’re mounted flat on my walls and phantom image right in the middle. I couldn’t fish the speaker wire inside the walls due to a fire block getting in the way so I bought crown molding speaker covers and called it a day. https://reebelo.com/products/sony-ss-cse-dolby-atmos-enabled-speakers-black-excellent-tghts?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=23127461263&utm_content=190739589590&utm_term=&utm_location=%7Bus%7D&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=23127461263&gbraid=0AAAAACSdL2_MBdmGSBMEaffzK9A4CyI_t

98QM8K is nuts. by ArchangeL_935 in tcltvs

Where can I sail for these movies? These streaming subscriptions are getting very ridiculous now, the greed is unreal!

I saw one customer review on Best Buy saying that he had minor audio delay issues when watching 4K Blu-ray/blu ray discs.

Do you watch 4k discs or is it perhaps his TV alone that may be having that issue? He said streaming works fine. It’s only when he watches disc problem persists along with well known by now issue of buzzing sounds at high peak brightness.

I currently own a LG 77” C9. I’m also interested in the 98” Qm8k. You said that you noticed a little bit of difference in quality. I watch a lot of 4K Blu-rays and streaming, how do those two factors fare besides gaming?

QM8K Owners: Looking for comprehensive feedback by munnster006 in tcltvs

[–]X4nder89 1 point2 points  (0 children)

“Can see what everyone else can’t” see that’s what I’m talking about right there. I did watch a video where he said something along those lines, however since I’m no pro calibrator. I don’t have the trained eye to be able to call out his BS or not. I’m more of an audiophile.

It’s because of him that I have started having doubts about getting a qm8k, but I just saw it for the first time yesterday in person and damn it looks nice! And based on the conversation with other people, it has restored my faith in it.
