In a twist, I called my dad's old store and got ahold of someone who has known me since I was a kid. He said SVS would be the rec for film. KEF the rec for music. Said the new Q Meta series do magical things but are also power hungry. Then pushed me towards higher end B&Ws that they sell...

Yeah, it seems like consensus in that the magic starts with the Rs. And those are simply out of my price range for now. For reference, the full SVS 3.0 costs the same as one R series bookshelf. Again, thank you for you help. Speakers chosen. Now I just need to figure out the best workaround to...

Thanks. 90% sure I'm going to go with the SVS Ultra Evolution 3.0 set up for now. I can throw the B&W's into storage and then consider adding them for 5.1 later. Do you have an opinion on the KEF's Q series? They would be the comprable price range. I've found threads saying KEF + SVS sub is...

Should or shouldn't?

Btw, I was telling my roommate about this comvo and she referred to the fireplace as "hostile architecture" 🤣

No. Am in an elevated 1st floor condo with the storage unit underneath. Only one side neighbor and they can't hear anything. I've asked. But as I'm typing I can hear the guys working upstairs. Their footsteps echo all around, touches of their chatter come through if they yell at each other...

After my post, I realized you could move it up and down which would mean it could be moved up for any larger gatherings. So really, the only concern would be me and the roommate. I have a spacial learning disability that causes really bad peripheral vision. She is super ADD. Still, I think...

I would use the fire place but it isn't vented. Which means opening the windows. Which defeats the purpose. It's literally a giant ornament that I would murder and toss out the window if I could. Your proposition is tempting. My concern would be how fragile OLEDs are and somebody knocking into...

I'm not planning on getting one that shakes the walls Mather. As I said, the side walls are well insulated because I'm in Chicago. The problem is these 100 year old floors. I'm also thinking I can always switch 3.0 or stereo late at night. I was editing my comment and accidentally deleted it--...

I could honestly flip a coin but probably the music. It's very close though. I watched 200ish movies last year and collect 4k as much if not more than vinyl because of how expensive the hobby has gotten. That said, I have 500 or so records. Sound insulation wise, there is nobody below me and...

Hey guys (& tagging @HiFi Guy because your great with this stuff), I'm finally considering upgrading my speaker set up. My dad sold high end stereo equipment for a living at place in Denver for 30+ years, and my high school graduation from him was a pair of B&W speakers that went for $350 at...

Very much enjoyed Mickey 17. The first and final 1/4th aren't as strong as the middle 1/2 and, yes, 10 mins or so probably could have been cut from those sections. But: A) Patterson (who I've never understood the buzz on) is riveting B) Ruffalo is hilarious C) It's a bizarre and captivating...

First time I've been very annoyed with a large discrepancy in a discogs listing. Listed as NM and "played once" but has numerous scratches that only could have come from a needle. On side B and C. Anyone ever pushed for a return? Or should I just eat the $33, order the 1LP repress and turn it...

Feel down about the world and the fact that I'm about to be 38 and definitely went way over budget on the film / music budget this month. I also don't know if I've ever shared a photo of my film shelf so now that the botique section is two full rows... (All the figurines belong to the new...

Go see it in theaters so that more auters are given big budgets to make unique films. Or at least try using that argument on her ;)

@Dead C I appreciate all of this. I definitely wasn't trying to pick a fight homie. We've had enough convos over the years for me to know that we both value supporting indie artists and love underground hip-hop. I could have sworn that while sitting his site I saw a $15 shipping disclaimer. I...

It was the tour for Aehtiopes. And I believe you, but that's definitely not what was said at the show. What was said at the show was "it's 50$ because it's only available on tour / I get everything pressed myself". Of note, Reckless Records (Chicago's Amoeba but with better prices) told me they...

Feel like that's a recent change. Because at the show he straight up said "yes the album is 50$ but it can only be purchased here and I figure out pressing them so all of the proceeds go to me". That was 3 years ago though.

You're the best. Don't spend too much $ while you are there.
