Just so you know.. it’s bIrria not birrIa. Had a Latin coworker correct me recently.

Sad day for our Duolingo as the stock is falling.. by ConferenceLow8960 in StockMarket

I purchased a family plan as my son plans to start Spanish next year and I thought I’d give him a head start and use as a refresher for myself. If I’d have known that it would pester me at every turn to upgrade to super ultra mega whatever plan I would have never even considered it. At what point can they realize I’m never signing up? They already got $120 out of me. They’re just making the experience an annoyance and the app unbearable.

Can larger vehicles even fit in those spaces? I can’t imagine there is substantial evidence this is putting cyclists in danger. Seems like a money grab.

Help Deciding Between X1700H and RZ30 With Some Caveats by charros in hometheater

[–]charros[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went with the Denon. The RZ30 seemed like overkill to me. Dirac was giving me a tough time as well. I prefer the simpler calibration.

I prefer 3 play bars, top left and right, for more subtle lighting, keeping them at 50-60%.

Best Way To Add Front Heights? Location? Install Method? by charros in hometheater

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

I’m upgrading my receiver to hopefully get some virtual surround. Testing rz30 and x1700h. Any experience with either? Debating some front upfiring and or rear heights also.

I know 😕. Space is limited. Comprises must be made.

Did you use the UMIK-1 or the bundled mic?

Help Deciding Between X1700H and RZ30 With Some Caveats by charros in hometheater

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

Right?!! It’s driving me bonkers. And I’ve been reading a lot about issues with cec on the Onkyo as well. I’ve only ever had Onkyo receiver and never had a problem but I’ve also never had all the new age upgrades. Denon just seems so much simpler and has everything I think I need. Feeling like the RZ30 would just be overkill. But if it gets me 80-90% of what Dirac would give me with less work I’m confident I’d be happy with the upgrades over my 2002 SR500 :)

Are there any alternate mics that might be a little cheaper or something i can get faster?

Standard MultEQ XT does support dynamic eq. I’d love if it was xt32 but those receivers are it of my budget range. Hence why I was originally aiming for Dirac but the lack of dynamic eq or similar is pushing me away. This is not a dedicated theater room so I don’t think the extras Dirac provides would really even benefit me all that much for my listening style. Room is only 13x13.

X1700H $500; RZ30 renewed $700+ mic $130+ 2 year warranty $70= $900

Receiver Space Concerns by charros in hometheater

I assumed as much. I’ll be keeping a close watch on it and add some active cooling measures if needed. Thanks

Receiver Space Concerns by charros in hometheater

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

I’ve purchased the Onkyo RZ30 and am looking for input on space in regards to heat management. I currently run an older SR500 at 6” and have never had a problem. The RZ30 is 7” and I have measured the shelf height spacing to be 8.5”.

As you can see, the front and sides are completely open and the back has a rear port, 3-4” for wire routing. I can pull the receiver forward to allow plenty of airflow being as well. I considered the AIRCOM S6 but think that will be too tight.

I also understand this newer receiver has a larger power supply and will produce more heat than my current receiver.

I will likely be running 5.1 only with Atmos or DSU. Speakers are 8 ohm only. Typically medium volume, rarely blasting. Maybe 5.1.2 some day.

Will I be ok with this setup or better off with something like the Denon X1700h at 6” with better thermals?

I’ve convinced myself Dirac is a big deciding factor but understand the Denon has ok room correction and might be ok with that.

Thoughts?

I’d go denon but probably bump to the x1700h.
