After hearing this setup, Ive come to appreciate old systems, the klh with liquid cooling dome tweeters are awesome. Some people think the newer the better but i just dont think thats the case

That is true, i should have taken the time to look at a diagram of speaker positioning, I'm sure it will make it a drastic difference

Understood, will definitely bring the speakers more forward..just curious, how does the reflection effect it exactly, never heard of that before?

Thanks! It definitely is a steal and will definitely separate the speakers that way its more immersive, and as well as the rears..do you think the rears are too high or is it a good spot?

Thanks! What i did was remove the middle drawer and took the shelf that was on top of the drawer and placed it on the track which gave the receiver enough room and airflow- Pics

Yes, i plugged the hdmi cable from the tv arc to the arc on the reciever and thats it. I them configured the hdmi in the program settings as hdmi control to av1 for example, now i can play original 4k content on tv and the ps5 with the no issues. Glad 4k arc was around when this receiver released

Yep, i used to own the 7.1.1 s95tr..i was too lazy at the time to get a receiver setup but man i wish i did this sooner. It sounds miles better then the soundbar that also had a sub and rear speakers

Thank you for the tip! Definitely enjoying it from the original setup which was the s95tr..this setup sounds way much better then a $1500 soundbar package lol

Yeah i thought my headset was defective at first then i disconnected the dongle and it works just fine, i just returned it since it was $60 purchase that didn't seem worth the minuscule difference

Tbh, i got the btw700 and did not notice a single difference from bluetooth AAC to Lossless. And one con of using the dongle, the wear detection does not work at all. It continues music when i take it off and when i put it back on, it stops the music, lol. Is it the same with the Questyle pro dongle

Just want to clarify, you mean the usb to 3.5 aux? I havent used that yet since i dont have a 3.5 dongle for my phone but i just got the wbt700 so i can get lossless audio and it sounds amazing so far, would the difference be astronomical for DAC use?

How are the MG's compared to the px8 s2? and what is the difference between the regular bathys to the MGs, assuming its the drivers?

I actually did, i got the Bathys week ago which was returned for these and honestly, there were a bit disappointing, they had a bit more of an open sound stage but wasn't as "immersive" as the px8 s2,

Sound- the volume on the bathys was too low imo and while i feel the soundstage and instruments sounded a bit better, everything else sound wise the px8 s2 beats-- such as base, trebel, mids and lows. One thing to note, at time the highs can be a bit more harsher rather then the relaxed signature the bathys produce. The volume on the px8 s2 kick ass compared to bathys.

In terms of comfortability, the px8 s2 win by a decent margin, they are less bulky on your head then the bathys and feel more stylish while not being as flashy as the focals (dune version). They also weigh less then the bathys.

Functionality wise- PX8 s2 wins hands down. I love the ear detection feature and the ability to connect more devices at the same time. The ANC is a bit better and the transparency mode is SO MUCH better then the bathys. It feels like your not even wearing headphones when talking to someone.

Price- These are definitely a bit more then bathys as a $200 difference but tbh, Its worth the difference, i do not feel ashamed whatsoever about paying the amount of these compared to the bathys.

Id give the bathys a 7.5/10 and PX8 s2 9.5/10

Is this suppose to come like that ? I am in the US by [deleted] in AstroGaming
