I bel I don’t know, but I definitely play Atmos over it and sounds darned good. One of my “go to” demos is the opening titles for Roma which has a lackluster B/W video but detailed Atmos track. I close my eyes and I’m right near the cleaning lady. And, the plane reflection tracks well across...

My Shield Pro was released in 2019 and AFAIK is the most recent. It’s what I use in my main system. It works fine; I find the UI a bit clunky. My second system uses a Roku. My bedroom system just uses LG smart features. The ATV 4K is an expensive dust magnet that one of my kids says he wants.

Holy smokes! Are you still expecting Apple to fix this? I’m in my 70‘s so I don’t have that kind of time. My Shield streamer and Roku don’t have this problem. I know it stinks to be taken advantage of, but I left the ATV4K in my rear view mirror long ago. I do checkin periodically to see if...

I run ARC on a (borrowed) MacBook for my STR and MRX1140.

I have to say that I marvel at you guys who tenaciously fight this battle. I check back periodically to see if any progress has been made, but I have moved on. I ordered an Nvidia streamer, I have been using my Roku Ultra, and hope that some day I will be able to use the ATV. We have plenty of...

I have AFX in front, Motion 2i on the ceiling for middle height, and Atlantic Technology System 2 for Rear Heights (previous owner installed). I have wondered if I’m getting the full benefit of the front height, but will wait until Anthem fixes a small bug before making up my mind about...

You will be fine. I have an old in ceiling Atlantic Technology System 2 bi/dipole working as my rear Atmos speaker in a 5.2.6 setup that is othetwise all Martin Logan. Works well. LCR is where 80% of the magic happens.

Some scattered reports on AVS forum that beta 15.3 addressed some audio dropout issues. Let’s hope that all of the audio issues are resolved.

I replaced the previous owner’s Marantz with an Anthem 520. The Marantz drove the then-existing speakers well, but I just couldn’t warm to the sound. I have since replaced that with an Anthem 1140. I also use an Anthem STR integrated amp in my music room. I invite like you to guess which...

I have my ESL X closer to the wall than I’d like, but things seem to be much better since I put some bass traps with dispersion panels behind the speakers. The dispersion panels don’t limit the reflection but do “randomize” the reflections; the bass traps do limit HF somewhat but mostly bass...

I have had an issue with delayed audio on the ATV, but have lived with it; it takes a few seconds for sound to come when starting up a video or audio selection. Yesterday, I got a few pops during playback and also intermittent audio dropouts. I can’t even remember why I got an ATV when my Roku...

This reminds me of 30 years ago when I asked a Sybase (an old database system) tech some critical technical questions; he arrogantly replied that “the market has spoken and endorsed Sybase.” I went with something else and their hubris caught up with them. Apple is huge and successful. They...

I wish that I could reply definitely, but I don’t have ML Theos. I have ML ESL X driven by an Anthem STR that sounds wonderful in my music room. I have had an Anthem 520 which drove my HT which was then comprised of Atlantic Technology System 2 in walls well. I currently have various ML...

Hah! I see what you did there.

I had not planned on this but a dedicated HT has the advantage that my wife, normally fastidious and esthetically minded, has let me get loose and sloppy since the room is used in the dark. I have cables running around the room, bass traps stacked behind curtains, errant drilled holes in the...

Maybe it came across as snarky, but there is something to be said for the idea that a great price unfilled is worth less than a good price fulfilled.

my experience with Shawn is that he delivers. Otoh, I will sell you any ML speaker pair for $50. Delivery? Oh, any day now.

Not who you asked, but I’ve gotten a free trial of iTunes. Spatial/Atmos tracks sound great, EXCEPT they only start a few seconds into the song. Perhaps I’ll turn Dolby Digital off on my TV to see what happens, but I’m unwilling to do so permanently. I listened to the tracks in my HT because...

I don’t have an anomaly with my 50XTi in an exclusively home theater use room, but the next time I do an ARC sweep, I will place some blankets on the recliners. Good idea! Btw, my theater is small, but I want to say that I have been delighted with how good the front speakers (LR: 35XTi and C...

While waiting for my GIK bass traps, I stuffed some Knauf Insulation Earthwool® Insulation Board with ECOSE® Technology 3lb I got from GIK into unused cabinet space (roughly 4’x2’x2’). It looks a lot like rock wool, and probably is just a variant. Anyway, it improved the sound of my theater...
