Re: What’s Spinning?

I got my great room audio system hooked up today and spun some Random Access Memories. One of my all time favorite albums.

Re: Speakers for 95% A/V

On a side note, rather than a soundbar I hooked up a WiiM Amp via HDMI ARC to my great room TV and hooked up a pair of Dali Oberon bookshelf speakers. For the price and poor acoustic environment they sound quite pleasant.

I have done the same for 13 years and have a very diluted but part of my dads Dewars scotch ...

Re: Speakers for 95% A/V



[*]Surround speakers MUST MUST MUST natively wall mount. No standard, rear ported bookshelf speakers, shoehorned into side gripping wall mounts that stick out a foot need apply.


Don't have any better advice for you but this made me LOL. I've never understood why manufacturers do this. How ...
