    AV Receivers with app ecosystems for when?

    There have been big tech jumps in so many technology areas, tv, phones, watches, etc... but, not so much on Hi-Fi. Would it not be nice to have an AV receiver where you can access an app ecosystem and install what you need? Ex. you can choose which room correction software you want to use...

    Anthem MRX 540 listening modes for low volume

    Thanks, yes, I can see that this may be the case. Anyway, I have tried to create new EQ curve, and it can add a little bit of bass, but it does not get close to Dolby Volume. Then, there is an option called Dolby Post Processing which allows to keep dynamics even but, unfortunately it does...

    Anthem MRX 540 listening modes for low volume

    Hi, I have recently purchased a new Anthem MRX 540 to replace my Arcam FJM 380. One of the main features that I used in my previous Arcam was the Dolby Volume. This feature allowed to improve the low-level frequencies at low volume while balancing dynamics to avoid hight volume peaks. Now...

    Monitor Audio Gold 50 issue/question

    Yes, it is a very basic one, and it is stuck behind tv so it definitely shouldn't be the star of the show. I actually did not use it with my previous speakers in stereo mode, only for movies. Now I use it for both at 40hz crossover.

    Monitor Audio Gold 50 issue/question

    All you are stating is correct, the bass is more accurate and not colored which in turn could make it sound thinner. But, I still feel something's missing specially at lower volumes. Actually I really like everything else from them, so it is only a small "but" that I am trying to improve.

    Monitor Audio Gold 50 issue/question

    Audyssey initially set as large but I changed to small with crossover 40hz. Usually in all my previous speakers I could listen to music without sub which gave better performance since my sub is very basic. With these however I need to use stereo +sub mode.

    Monitor Audio Gold 50 issue/question

    Thanks, he did mention that I would only get the best of these with better amp (nothing new...). However, on the bass side he maintained that these speakers were able to produce significant bass/scale. The question is really on the explanation regarding "amperage" output and its major effect...
