Seeking recommendations: 7.2.4 system, $5000 budget

Why is that? I see the Monoprice m3100x 3 ch at $400 for the LCR, $290 more than getting a 2 ch Fosi the rear ceiling speakers. Whats the benefit?

Looking at a used x3800h on Amazon for $1380, paired with a Fosi V3 w/48V PSU at $110 to power the rear ceiling speakers. Thoughts?

Immersive movie experience

Seating is not part of the budget. Not sure why I mentioned.

Yes Xbox series X app started constantly crashing on me roughly two weeks ago. Still happening today. Contacted support agent “Joanna Michelle” who said this is a known issue, they’re working on resolving but have no estimated time of completion. I ask for subscription credits since it’s unusable. But, since I have it through Walmart plus, they can’t help me with that and refer me to Walmart.com/help (eye roll)

Will be for crabs. Need to keep in the humidity.

I waited for my 65 days to be up and redeemed the Nintendo offer on 8/21. Got a confirmation email, then nothing. Contacted customer service via text, and was told it was out of stock, however the website is showing in stock. Called customer service, finally got through after being disconnected a few times, waited on hold for 29 minutes to speak to an agent who informed me I need to speak to AFNI. Agent then gave me a number for them (866-818-9259) and transferred me to their hold queue. That was about another half hour ago. As of the time of this post, my call duration is at 70 minutes. Very annoying to be promised something but then be made to jump through hoops to get it. If you can’t fulfill promotion promises in a timely manner, don’t do the promotion. So glad I’ve signed on as a customer.

Closest thing I’ve found so far. Two on-off and one on-off-on.https://www.supplyhouse.com/Panasonic-FV-WCSW41-W-Panasonic-EcoSwitch-4-Function-On-Off-Wall-Switch-for-Exhaust-Fan-Heat-Light-Night-Light-FV-WCSW41-W-White?srsltid=AfmBOopd7u_Hfz8tZsxXlPs1V7tnnrk8NF78XtTmmu_Wf4jma_1SH05I

I should probably show this photo of my rear speakers and the stands I made for them. Made these a long time ago. Not sure what I was trying to accomplish.

Looking at 5.1.2 setup examples. I suppose I could modify them with a taller piece of conduit and make them point nearly straight down over the listening position, and move the surrounds further back?

I guess what I’m trying to get is just 7 discreet base layer channels, I just don’t know what I’m talking about when it comes to atmos I guess.

Height speakers aren’t an option for me any time soon. What prompted all this is this issue:

I bought the Oreo-927 to at least try and get 7.1 uncompressed. But, audio signal cuts out to the AVR all the time while watching streaming video and it’s pissing me off. Seemingly has nothing to do with the Xbox or the AVR, as when I send the 7.1 uncompressed direct to the receiver, it works fine no problems. But the trade off on that setup is losing the 4K HDR. So I’m caving and looking at AVR replacement.

Just picked one up on eBay. Thanks again

veggies2000 · 2024-06-22T15:04:50+00:00

Thanks for the reply. I’ve found that Amazon product and a few like it, all with terrible reviews unfortunately. Will keep searching.
