    Inherited “old“ receiver from my father, what next?

    So I did some rearranging of the back speakers using them as atmos upfiring speakers. Both speakers are now mounted above the listening position firing into the ceiling and reflecting down. From what I‘ve heard so far (only music listening) the results were really good, much better than before...

    Thanks! What do you think about the current setup with the upfiring atmos enabled speakers?

    Inherited “old“ receiver from my father, what next?

    So those are the changes to the system. Even listening to stereo music having the receiver upmixing it makes quite the difference. I raised the speakers behind the sofa up so they don’t sound as terrible. They are terrible speakers though, so I am currently in the process of deciding if I can...

    Inherited “old“ receiver from my father, what next?

    Well as I said I was getting 7.1 content upmixed from 5.1 sources. That was sounding fine. Those streaming services (except apple plus funnily enough) didn’t give me a full 7.1 (or rather atmos source and then downmixed) source though. Trying out a full blown atmos system today did. make quite...

    Inherited “old“ receiver from my father, what next?

    Well true. But a lot of the soundtrack in the Star Wars scenes I was watching seemed to come out of the backs and well Star Wars being Star Wars had lots of booomy boom sounds coming out of them, too. And then there’s the big atmos music elephant entering the room, which makes those speakers...

    Inherited “old“ receiver from my father, what next?

    I will probably end up pulling the trigger. The only thing that’s worrying me right now is that I can’t really hear the difference between those different speakers I have. Like my left and right surrounds should be sounding much better than my back left and right surrounds but I honestly can‘t...

    Well that is the thing. With the receiver not supporting atmos I can only really enjoy 5.1 content. This is why I tried out an atmos enabled receiver today. That did make quite the difference…

    Inherited “old“ receiver from my father, what next?

    So I have them resting on the sofa back support part now. They are quite close to the listener that way but do sound way better obviously. To be honest though I got them for like 8€ at a yard sale kinda event. So they are complete trash. I am kinda worried that I‘m not really able to single them...

    Inherited “old“ receiver from my father, what next?

    I loaned a Denon AVC-4700H today and also added Elac atmos enabled upfiring speakers to the mix (at the front) and when I listened to some atmos music it sounded quite amazing honestly. I was running out of time but quickly tried some Star Wars scenes which the receiver scaled up to atmos from...

    Inherited “old“ receiver from my father, what next?

    Hello! I recently inherited an old Onkyo TX-SR875 and hooked up my old Elac FS67 pair to it. Shortly after I bought an Elac Debut C6.2 and two Elac Debut B5.2 (as surrounds). I then acquired two dirt cheap speakers and put them right behind my sofa for a 7.0 setup. Soon after I realised...
