Re: AV Receivers with accessible web interface
I think all this stuff is great, but I once heard some audiophile say that the more speakers you add, the quality goes down, but I hope not. I have an Onchio AV Receiver that's a 7.1, but I have five speakers; but I set my receiver on the 7.1 position, even though it has only five speakers. I only know that it still sounds great to me. I use it for great music, as well as TV and movies. I think it's great! - Original Message - From: "Hamit Campos" To: "'PC Audio Discussion List'" Sent: Thursday, March 01, 2012 11:06 AM Subject: RE: AV Receivers with accessible web interface Ah okay then. Cool. I would be using BDs though. I guess the point of what those guys say is as follows. Let's take Jurrasic Park for an example. We all know the movie was recorded in 5.1, there fore there are only 5 different files assigned to the 5 different speakers. They didn't really add anything new assignments for the 2 extra, so I guess what they are saying even with your example is you are hearing the same thing you've always heard out of the 2 side speakers I guess it would be, but now from the back too? I don't know, like I have said, I haven't really experienced this my self. My friend who has a 7.1 system lives too far to just say, let's go over to Tims and see what's true and what's not. But what I'm saying is, I don't know, maybe I should consider a 7.1 system if it is true and then I do miss out on stuff. I don't know. If any of you have heard a 7.1 movie, please let me know either here or off list if it really true, or if it's just marketing hipe like those guys say. -Original Message- From: pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org [mailto:pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org] On Behalf Of Les Gordon Sent: Thursday, March 01, 2012 10:04 AM To: PC Audio Discussion List Subject: Re: AV Receivers with accessible web interface hi, right now i am running a onkyo 9.2 system and the extra speakers are clearly worth it. if a dvd isnt 7.1 or 9.2 recorded, the receivers can convert to whatever format your running. the sound is absolutely amazing.

RE: AV Receivers with accessible web interface
Interesting. Yeah, I'm not saying it's not good, what I'm saying is if there really is something to the whole 7.1 thing. Are there 2 more audio tracks that weren't there before on the Blu-rays? That's what I have to find out. -Original Message- From: pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org [mailto:pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org] On Behalf Of Gary Wood Sent: Friday, March 02, 2012 3:29 AM To: PC Audio Discussion List Subject: Re: AV Receivers with accessible web interface I think all this stuff is great, but I once heard some audiophile say that the more speakers you add, the quality goes down, but I hope not.

JBL "Onbeat Air" speaker system
Hi! Just ordered one of these speaker systems, expecting it Monday so I should be able to give you all a good "wrap" of the device then. This system is "Airplay" compatible thus you can stream music or video from your Mac, Computer or IOS device to the system, also contains an aux-in jack and a USB port for those people who don't have "Airplay" devices. Has an iPhone/iPod/iPad compatible dock so you can connect the device directly if you so desire. You're looking at around $200.00 in the U.A. for one of these systems and that to me is a bargain. There is a JBL system above the "Onbeat Air" called the "Onbeat Stream", its a little more powerful and will also allow bluetooth streaming, had I known of the existence of this model then I probably would have bought it, ah well at, at least I can keep saving and its like the old story with the Altec Lansing Expressionist Plus and Expressionist Ultra speakers which worked themselves out in the end . I've never owned nor heard - consciously at any rate - a JBL speaker system before, I'm told I "Don't know what I'm missing"? We'll see come Monday.
