Can anyone help me set up a low budget movie theater room? Just bought a house with a theater room. I have a projector already (not the best) - I have no idea how to set up/purchase wired speakers. Any advice appreciated!!

People will crap on soundbars all day around here but then tell you that you need to spend 2-3k just to play ball. That’s BS. The Denon AVR I listed and that speaker set will dance circles around *any* soundbar.

Good system, cheap components

This is the first AVR I've ever owned and I am generally pleased. Sound quality is good, though music playback is of a lesser quality than my Denon integrated amp. Probably a good value for the money. However, I have no confidence in its ability to last as the electronic components they used are of ...

I am a newbie to home theater. Decided to jump in after I bought a new TV. I got a Denon S960H, 4- Klipsch dual 6.5 towers, Klipsch quad 3.5 center and a Klipsch 12 sub.

Just OK

I have owned audio / video equipment for decades. This unit rates as just ok considering the quality of sound, ease of use and connectivity to the Internet.

ViewSonic Pro7827HD -> Upgrade to ViewSonic PX748-4k - seeking feedback

I no longer have to black out the room or choose between being able to see the room or see the video I am watching. The projector lights up the room. Turning a few lights on in the room with a video playing isn't an issue at all.

Great sound, but video is a complete mess.

Great sound but the video output is a complete mess. To have a good picture, on a LG Oled 4k, you have to use the passthru or it automatically "enhances" the picture. Even with all video pass throughs turned off, so it doesn't screw up the picture, by the way can no longer even see the volume bar th...

Home Theater Advice: Show me the way!

You get better value out of the equivalent Denon AVR compared to Marantz (same parent company. Same platform). Will you ever want to expand to Atmos with over head speakers? If so, you should at least run speaker wire up there while you are at it.

Denon 90 watt 7.2

Found out the network port is hosed. While it did update it doesn't share network with new Samsung 4k TV. So networked from TV and set up wifi. Auto wifi setup failed but manual worked fine. Around 50 on vol is where the sound starts. 75 is normal volume... so not a lot to play with here. One day I'...
