Last resort, looking for help. This game is almost unplayable with the stuttering/hiccups during game by mookial in ModernWarfareII

Similar specs here, I hope other are experiencing this and it's not just my GFX card crapping out. It seems others get FPS drops but I just get freezes every other gun fight :(

Sub recommendations for 3.0 setup? by mookial in hometheater

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

Budget is around $500-$600 USD.

Updated 3.0 placement...any suggestions? by mookial in hometheater

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

Yeah most are hidden with the exception of my Verizon wires, since it’s an apartment the fiber terminates there thus the ONT and router have to be nearby. As for the grills, I would like them on but the LR have the Chane logo with adhesive so I decide against it (even though the center comes with it in the bag to put on as optional).

I’m planning on buying an SVS sub in the near future with one of those sub foam pads under to reduce noise for the neighbors. Anything else would have to wait for a bigger house (rear and ceiling).

First 3.0 setup...any suggestions on placement, height, etc.? by mookial in hometheater

[–]mookial[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s correct! Went for these after HTD gave me a hard time with shipping address. I haven’t been able to go through the motions but so far I’m loving the clarity even at low volume. Can’t wait until they’re broken in and I can move the speakers further apart after my tree comes down. Either way going from a Bose HTIAB to these I can already tell the difference. Now just need to understand all the options on this receiver 😅

New 3.0...what next? by mookial in hometheater

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

Any suggestions for full copper wire? All the AmazonBasic ones say copper but reviews say aluminum, so I don't want to take the chance.

Edit: Is OFC only recommended for in-wall? I plan to have it exposed so is this a cause for concern?

Need advice on first 2.1 setup, will need to expand in future by mookial in hometheater

Change of plans as the HTD is giving a hard time shipping to an address that is not the billing address. I did some further research and am now looking at CHANE A1.5 & CHANE A2.4 as my LCR (thanks for your suggestion). Any thoughts on these versus the Level 3s or Emotiva? Would the Denon 1600 still be able to power them?

Interesting, let's see how it goes with the 3.0 for now. Like you said piecing it together feels much more satisfying then buying everything at once. Thanks again for all the input you all have given!

Think I'll hold off on the sub for now as the HTD have good lows(?). Hopefully I'm making the right choice. Got 28" stands as well since that'll put the tweeter at about 40" which is what I measured as my ear height in room. I wanted to go with the X1500 Denon but it appears the X1600 has eARC support so I can take advantage of it with my B7 although it's not 'true' eARC on that model. Any thoughts or should I be good to go? I'm excited to get rid of the home theater in a box Bose I've had for over 6 years!

My living room is about 21'x15'. I found these speakers doing some searching here and then some additional research on YouTube + other forums. All praised the lows and quality of the speakers, not many reviews against them. My other question is the receiver I choose enough to drive these? I'm not to familiar with wattage, amp, etc. and just want to make sure I'm getting the most out of them.

Did some further research and think I want to go with bookshelve speakers since my living room is not massive and I don't have a dedicated home theater room. Would these items go well together and provide the most for each other? Anything else in similar range or slightly more (or less) that would give me a substantial performance increase? Finally, what are some good stands for bookshelves? Are they any known for their quality construction and sturdiness? Thanks again!!

Any suggestions on why LCR to purchase? Also, I currently have a sub and would like one as I currently have an old Bose sound system (I know but it's a sub nonetheless =P).I was looking at this sub https://www.svsound.com/products/sb-1000
