Did you manage to check your SPL levels? Have you tweaked it to your liking?

Thoroughly agreed, too many people look at power claims when purchasing a receiver. A film is recorded at 75db with 20db headroom meaning a max of 95db. LFE is generally 10db above this. So in an average or even a large room you do not need masses of power. That is unless you are running...

Good point, just didn’t want to bleat on about its features like I was reading a product flier. Should also give the possibility of multiple bi wiring. The earc should be good too, when TV manufacturers start to use it.

Denons new flagship AVR is imminent and what a powerhouse it is! 13 channels of power giving up to 7.2.6 Dolby Atmos or DTS:X as well as the Asahi Kasei 4490 DAC on all channels.... it should sound true to a flagship Denon. Hopefully getting ours soon.

I’m sure that if you rang certain retailers you would be able to get a good deal.

well done that man. Atmos doesn’t have to be hard to install and the benefits are fantastic. Hiding the cables in coving is a great idea, we have installed a few using that method along with curved corner trunking from D line which can be painted or Acoustic corner panels to hide the wires. Now...

I would have to concur with the Arcam and Anthem verdict although, to keep within your budget I would look at the Denon AVRX 6400H.

Hi, I’m not sure about the settings on the Sony as it’s been a while since I worked with one. It’s a single point calibration isn’t it? Ie you put the Mic where you sit. I have usually found the distances with the Sony setup to be good. When you were watching the movie did it display ATMOS on...

Have you got Sky Q? There is some Atmos content on there. Just watched Ghost In A Shell, at least I think it was called that ( Yes it was that good ) That was downloaded in Atmos.

How have you got on with it so far?

As per the excellent advice you have already received, I would opt for a TV first. Next you have to ask yourself, do I want to upgrade in a few years time or settle with convenience. A soundbar is convenient and some sound good but the only way for real surround sound is through the AVR route...

As someone mentioned, enable bitstream audio in Blu Ray player, on your AV Receiver select DTS & Dolby Surround

Everyone has different needs from an AV Receiver. Will it be used daily for general TV sound ? I only ask this as the Audyssey Dynamic Volume and Dynamic EQ is the stand out feature in the Denon & Marantz. If you are only going to listen at reference level then there is no need for Audyssey...

Hi you have to ask yourself what YOU want the two subs you speak of play very clean bass but with no considerable output for movies. If you want a sub that plays well for music and movies then the svs sb12 is the one and for the price of 1 pv1d you could buy 2 svs subs. The svs sub will play...

As previously mentioned , demo,demo,demo. Everyone has their own taste but I would strongly recommend SVS SB12 with either Monitor audio RX package minus the sub Mordaunt short mezzo 6,2+5 The MA package is smooth with a fantastic centre channel The Mordaunt short package has a bit more...
