As an aside, some nice, quality king-size pillow cases have worked pretty well on my smaller panels. One can obviously get these in various materials and colors.
For a few extra dollars, the hardwire ethernet, Chromecast Audio, Google, Quadcore CPU, and a power trigger with the Pro model were nice features for my setup. And the central app on a tablet or smartphone is pretty slick as well.
That's a really interesting concept and might definitely lessen the impact of your longer distances one would think. I'm not geek enough to know if long distances between the pre/pro to amp signal is a better trade off than long distances between the amp to the speakers. I know one concern of...
For anyone interested in the braided sleeving of the cables, here's some info I posted on AVS Forum a while back:
The product is a heat shrink "sleeving" applied with a simple heat gun and it comes in varying widths, materials, and colors. Amazon is probably the easiest place to score them...
Thanks for the kudo's Robert! Yes, that sign is pretty cool and good quality. I picked it up here:

My trek with ML and this forum started back in 2005, when we cobbled together our first dedicated listening/theater room. I thought I would give my $.02 worth of experience this past year showcasing the new speaker wiring trek I just completed as part of a total remake of our listening/theatre...
Apologize if this was already addressed in previous posts in this thread-- but my question is concerning DAC's as they relate to AVR receivers.
My Onkyo AVR, being used as a pre-amp, has an "AK4458 384 kHz/32-bit DAC, (8 Channels x 1)" with "32-bit Digital Signal Processing Engines". I am...
Well.... the search is over for new mains up front and I finally pulled the trigger! We came across a package deal that we just couldn't pass up.
As I previously posted, we've had Aeon i and Aerius i's (with a Theater i) for quite a few years in a dedicated 5.1 theater/listening room. We are...
Actually, this is just the front "stage"-- it bumps up only 5" on either side for the mains and then 12" in the center to gain a bit of height for the center speaker (Theater i). This is a full HT renovation in our existing home. We only had to cut away an 18" drywall strip down low in one wall...
Excellent- those look like they will have some great applications at the right points in the room. I have been putting off the room acoustic rabbit hole and thrown just all my time to the front end construction, smart room/voice control technology, cabling, components, etc. But I know the...
Wow, thanks for all the great responses and input. Definitely food for thought and to keep researching. It does sound like the new technologies and specs for the Summit X has placed it a cut above.
