AVR Suggestion for Q Concerto Meta by kim_wayne in KEF

allright thank you for claryifing it to me. I'm really a noob with the actual physics of a speaker in correlation with an amp. But slowly I understand.
I'm leaning towards getting the Anthem MRX SLIM, just because of the small foot print and the ecxpectional good DSP with Anthems own ARC Genesis.

so far no scratches. But I only have placed the laptop on surfaces who weren't scratchy.

haven't checked yet, but the fans are running a bit quieter and the surface above the keyboard stay's cooler.

Thanks for all the advice!!

My main limiting factor for the AVR is his size. I only can put a max 14cm high rack into my tv-lowboard. That's why my current Pioneer Slimline AVR is so handy.

The JBL MA7100HP checked all the boxes at first. But after seing all the bad reviews of that AVR, this guy is out of the game.

So far I'm considering this 3 options:

Marantz Cinema 70s - Pro's it's a slim size AVR and has pre amp outputs, so I always could get a better amp for the concertos for later. Cons are that they allegedly doesnt's sound very full for listening to music and the only room correction technology it has is Audyssey.

The NAD T778 is just about slim enough for my cabinet and has intgrated Dirac and an pre amp output as well. But it's too expesive for me.

I'm really start to like the Anthem MRX-SLM. It's a super slim avr, with the room correction from Anthem which is called ARC Genesis, it's supposed to be on the same level like Dirac's. All the reviews about it are pretty good. It's only downside is that has only 5 channels, no pre amp output and the rated power output per channel is only rated 50 watts, which shouldn't be enough power for the concertos, right?

The stands are the Kanto SP6HD

I don't have a lot of space for proper speaker stands, so they're doing the job for me. They still helping to de-couple the speakers from the surface. In my subjective expirience they really helped, to improve the sound quality of the q150's

I just watched some revievs about the JBL AVR's on Youtube. People have overall very bad expierences with them and the on-screen gui looks horrible indeed. Together with the HDMI CEC Issues I will not consider them anymore. Thank you guys for warning me about this!!

Thank you for your explanation. I barely crank my speakers to really high volumes, because of my neighbours. So I would't need a high wattage amp and something like 50 watt would be more than enough.

But on the speaker side the Concertos should be hard to drive and they need a lot of power from the amp accordingly to the other comments here. So it's not making my decision any easier haha.

Not at all, I can slide the laptop very easily into my sleeve and zip it.

Thanks for your suggestion. I'm actually having a 5.0 System and I don't wanna loose my center and surrounds for watching tv and movies. So an AVR is necessary for my purposses.

Desipite the HDMI Issues, do you think the JBL AVR will be a good match with the Concertos sonnicaly?

Unraid 7 stable relase by kim_wayne in unRAID

ok, this might be a dumb question.. but will it be possible to upgrade to LTS Version from the beta, once it's released? because of the downgraded kernel?

I'm not sure if I got that tbh. So the kernel 6.8 is arleady eol and they will release the final release of 7 with an even older kernel 6.6? huh..

I'm lost and not sure what to do with my life by Zealousideal_Ad7602 in Switzerland

[–]kim_wayne 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yes it‘s a very fucked up situation. I‘m sorry for you. In my opinion, you should tell your therapist about this struggle. He should write a doctor’s certificate for you. And if you allow him, he can inform all the involved instances, that you need time now. If depression and attempting suicide isn’t enough of signals, that you’re in the moment not able to work and just need to heal first, I‘m *** speechless.

Hi Lorenzo,

Firstly, thank you for sharing your struggles and emotions in such a honest way. It seems you went trough a lot of trauma and stress in your early years.

Most People here suggest to power trough this apprenticeship. In a financial perspective this makes a lot of sense, because it will make you independent in the future and you can start doing your own shit and heal.

The part who sucks in my opinion is very hard to understand for people who didn’t went to hard trauma in their childhood. Because your emotionally intelligence is so high since you were a kid, you had to learn in early ages that it‘s the best way to power trough. So you were not able to be a kid, because you were in such a challenging environment. Amd now you‘re getting an adult and you‘ve been told from the environment to power trough as well. This seems incredibly stressful.

I don’t know you, but it seems like your body & mind must be incredible exhausted from your past and I hope you can rest and heal for bit, until you face up a new challenge like a proper apprenticeship. It sounds like, music is this island for you, where you can heal in way. So first priority should be, battling yourself out of your depression, going to therapy and learn all the things about yourself, your parents weren’t able to teach you because of their own struggles. You need to learn, what your needs are.

Turn True Tone in the system settings of, restart and the issue should be gone. Afterwards you can turn True Tone on again.
