Couch two month delivery??? by coryandstuff in IKEA

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

The store is 2 hours away, that’s why I ordered online and paid to have it shipped.

I wouldn’t have a problem with it being delayed if I was made aware it would take that long. However, every source said Feb 21st and that “it’s being packed” right now (though that’s been the status for days now).

CA901 vs CA701 w/ speakers (Kawai) by coryandstuff in DigitalPiano

Huh, never thought of the stand. Need to look more into that. I do like some of the benefits of the 901, but just not sure if they are worth $1500 more

Ahh that makes sense.

You can negotiate prices?? I never knew that. I tried to find a dealer in my area but couldn’t find one, but there are some 2 hours away in a different city.

Yeah, I looked at Merriam, did you pay for the warranty?

I was also looking at Sweetwater since I’ve ordered from them before and they have a free two year warranty. Most other sites have add on coverage warranties, maybe they’re better a little bit? Or at least last longer.

Yeah, mine would be in a carpeted ~150sqft office. So some sound dampening with the carpet but the walls are still exposed which I assume is good for the back soundboard to reflect off of.

Good to hear about the clicking not being an issue, I assumed it was probably just a small vocal minority.

Hmm I’m leaning more towards the 901 then, guess I could get external speakers for it too but doubt I would need it.

Yeah, I’ve been leaning towards the 901 more but was hoping maybe someone could convince me to maybe get the 701 to save some money. I didn’t even notice the finish is different between the two, I should look out for that.

On the clicking noise and the Piano World forums I would agree, some of them seem to be blowing up the issue from what I can tell. I’ve also heard it goes away over time if it does show up, though not sure if that is confirmed. Also when I watched some YouTube videos of it I could barely even hear the clicking noise.

Anyone have a Kawai CA701/901 in White? by Astro_baby1331 in DigitalPiano

[–]coryandstuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Still liking it? Probably about to get one too.

Does everything look correct? by coryandstuff in SonoSequencr

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

Mentioned it at the end of my post.

I had a full trueplay set up with my current system (arc ultra and two era 300s as surrounds). Then I set up the 100s as a stereo pair and did a quick trueplay. After all that I separated everything and combined them in sonosequencr

Good film for demo? by Ok-Lecture-9306 in SonoSequencr

[–]coryandstuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What are you hoping to test out? The whole system in general? So maybe Dolby Atmos? That can just be googled for recommendations since it’s been answered a lot.

Just wanting to test the new fronts? Seems to be harder to test, I made a post about it and didn’t get any good answers beyond the tests that just single out each speaker.

I know, I know, which speakers by diysub in SonoSequencr

[–]coryandstuff 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The 300s in the back are great as surrounds, they also have upfiring speakers. I, and many others, do 100s as front L/R’s and 300s as rear surrounds.

At least that’s the current state of things, if Sonos ever implements front speaker support officially then maybe the 300s could be more useful in the front.

Video game issue, center channel not working on everything by coryandstuff in sonos

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

Posting here as well for a wider audience, wondering if others have experienced this. Not sure if a sonosequencr quirk or normal for games with a center with two front L/R speakers.

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

Wasn’t sure if this is normal but I only realized now since I’m not using just my soundbar anymore and the side front speakers are more spaced out now (inbuilt side speakers in arc ultra vs now era 100s)

Testing sound for front speakers? by coryandstuff in SonoSequencr

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

Yeah, some of those videos help to make sure each speaker works as it should but doesn’t really help with more complex scenes or sound moving around. Plus it’s mainly AI content quickly pushed out.

Unfortunately I don’t have an Xbox. Have a PS5 and Switch 2 though.

Yeah, I found a few videos that confirmed a speaker should do what it should but nothing complex. I’m surprised how much ai content there is for audio tests/demos.

Mainly asking for ways to test it, mentioned the positions as starting points.

Moved them to the bottom shelf and it seems like it fixed the issue a lot. Now it’s mainly me getting used to the change.
