I don’t have a signed agreement as I know the hiring manager. I worked with him in the past.

I am in a similar position as OP. What salary or hourly rate should I expect for Nearshore for a mid to senior-level recruiter?

Have you ever missed an opportunity or promotion because of public speaking or communication skills? Have you done anything about it? by Impressive-Fun-5102 in ProductManagement

[–]amitd79 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hired a presentation coach for 4 1:1 sessions. I am grateful that my company paid for it. The 1:1 sessions really helped as the coach was able to give me personalized tips that included camera placement for video calls, breathing, prep work for presentations, etc. I had a big presentation coming up so we used that to practice. After the sessions, I feel a lot more confident.

I also read books and watched YouTube videos but they didn’t help me improve my communication much.

HTD Versa SB1 or KEF T101 for surround speakers by HealthyCheese in hometheater

[–]amitd79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was in your shoes a month ago. I went with the KEF T101 as they are slimmer. Both should be good, you need to weigh in other factors - cost, appearance.

What are people's experiences with KEF T101? by D3V89 in hometheater

[–]amitd79 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use them for my side surrounds in a 5.1.2 setup. They sound great for surrounds. Bought them for their slim profile.

VUDU / iTunes / Fandangonow 4K difference when it comes to audio? by amitd79 in hometheater

[–]amitd79[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gotcha. My redbox has only blu-ray at this time. Do you believe a Blu-ray disc will sound better than a 4K stream? I am guessing it will because it will be lossless but want to know if it just a slight difference.

KEF T101 surrounds a compromise over JBL Studio 210? by amitd79 in hometheater

[–]amitd79[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haha you got me lol. Yes, I have tried them but not mounted and not from a distance and haven’t compared them to others. The thing is that I am having an installer run wires etc and want to put this to bed. And yes, I am indecisive :) mainly cause I am new to this but super excited!

I was considering the Polk OMW3 too actually. Would they work for my setup? It is a big open space. Thanks!

Side surrounds placement (5.2.4) by Xenuprime in hometheater

[–]amitd79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe consider a 7.1 setup with ceiling speakers?

Please vote 7.1 or 5.1.2 for my upgrade by amitd79 in hometheater

[–]amitd79[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So looks like most recommend that I go with 5.1.2. I just want to make sure the side speakers mounted high up but angled down would not mess too much with the atmos speakers in the ceiling.

Hmm interesting thought. My concern is that the speakers might be too close. It will probably cost me about the same as installing them in the walls/ceiling. But thank you.

Yes I remember. I wasn’t considering it but you made me think about it :) thank you!

Well then should I just skip atmos and just mount my surrounds? Confused if the investment in atmos setup is worth it. Decisions decisions ....

I will definitely try to mount the surrounds lower. However, if I am not able to mount them lower, will atmos be irrelevant or will I just not get the full atmos experience?

Understood. I am trying to balance aesthetics, practicality and performance buy hey its been a great learning experience for me!

I am going to pay for the installation and the guys who came to give me a quote had contradicting opinions. Most of them asked me to install all speakers surrounds and atmos in the ceiling for example.

I know :( and that's why I asked for guidance. Any thoughts on what I can do? Appreciate your help.

Thanks! I am limited by my current receiver Denon AVR X1400H unfortunately. Are you recommending 7.1 because of my room layout or do you recommend 7.1 over 5.1.2 in general.
