From soundbars to Klipsch RP-500M II

So uhh, I’ve recently moved and decided to do something a lil different.

Had a JBL Multibeam bar before that was…alright, kinda boxy sounding.

Then got a Sonos Beam Gen 2, which sounded better, even got the rears and sub mini, and overall it was at the time, really good. There was no atmos at al

TCL C7K QD-Mini-LED Review 🇩🇪🔥

Hey everyone 👋🙋‍♂️

Just wanted to share my experience with the TCL C7K after doing some research here on Reddit and finally pulling the trigger.

The TV was originally priced at 800€, but with a 200€ cashback, I ended up paying 600€ – and for that price, it’s honestly a great deal.

My impressions so

Stereo Homepod 2 placement

Hello,

I am thinking of getting a Homepod 2 stereo pair, to setup as a Home Theatre setup along with my AppleTV4k - also I am very deep into Apple ecosystem -.

Given my open space of living room + kitchen do you think it would be sufficient for 2 homepods to give me the best experience?

I am thin

Why do people hate on Soundbars?

The short answer: because perception lags reality during periods of change. Five years ago, if you took any soundbar and compared it to any equally priced AVR setup, I doubt a single soundbar would win the comparison. In fact, only one soundbar - the incredibly expensive Sennheiser Ambeo - would eve

My minimalistic setup

Went from a Sonos surround set (Beam gen2, 2x Era 100 and Sub mini) to the A9’s, with the purpose to enjoy active music listening. I am using an AppleTv to stream to sound of movies to the speakers. Active music listening went up from 0% to about 50/50 (music/movies).

Alternatives to the completely useless Sonos beam (gen 2) and surround speakers

As the title says, what alternative brands can I buy where I don't have to worry about the damn useless app that says every other day that I have no products and the next day it works as it should?

I would like to be able to listen to streamed music, preferably from Spotify. I also want good sound

Sonos Arc for $399.97 and Beam (Gen 2) for $299.99 in store at Costco

Recently bought the Sony HT-A5000 on clearance at Costco for $299.97 and now I’m seeing the Sonos Arc going on clearance for $399.97 and Beam on sale for $299.99 in a nearby store as well.

Which would be the best value/option to pair with a Bravia 7?

No plans to add a sub or rears for now, but I

I’m looking for a soundbar setup for my small apartment (about 18m²) with a 65” Samsung S95F. I want something that delivers good sound quality without being overkill, since I don’t need a full home cinema experience. Here are my options:

Beam Gen 2 + 2x Era 100 + Sub Mini vs. Samsung Q990F

I recently got a Beam Gen 2 to use with my TV, and its performance standalone is amazing. I initially got it with the intention of later adding 2x Era 100 and a Sub Mini.

However, considering that I am still within the return period, I wanted to understand the comparison between the proposed Sonos

Sonos Beam Gen 2 vs Sony HT-A3000

You should probably clearly avoid Sonos. They have huge software issues since almost 2 years. It is so bad they have fired their CEO and a bunch of executives. And alas many people from the support team. About 3 weeks ago their new CEO acknowledged they have a lot of work to do to restore the softwa
