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.

Actually, I've been paying attention to this thread too, because even 
though

I really like Bose, I too have been looking at what Onkyo and Yamaha have
and what others may have because Bose doesn't do 7.1 surround sound. As 
you
may or may not know, there are a lot of Blu-Rays that are 7.1 channaled. 
Now

some people have said that it's foney, in other words there's no true 7.1
surround sound, but I haven't heard it myself to be truly sure if it is 
fake

or not. I would also think that if it were fake, people wouldn't hav it.
Wouldn't people say something about it? Because then it would really mean
like those people that insist it's fake say, that you're buying 2 more
speakers for nothing.

Thanks for the info on the Denon AVR.  I had looked at Yamaha and Onkyo

Re: AV Receivers with accessible web interface

2012-03-02 Thread Gary Wood
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!

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.

then? I mean, what I keep hearing on youtube is like I just posted in
response to another E-mail is that these guys just spliced the 
assignments
that were already there to the 2 other speakers and so it's not true real 
3D

surround sound. You are still hearing what you've always heard in the 5.1
version of Jurrasic Park for instance, just out of 2 more speakers. So
you're saying that's not true then? You are saying that there really are 
2

more channals? If so, then Bose had better get on with it and make a 7.1

I'm not sure I understand your question.  Are you holding down the up and

when paired with a bluetooth device.  If still not talking try holding down

RE: AV Receivers with accessible web interface

2012-03-02 Thread Hamit Campos
Well, to be honest, maybe I'm wrong, but I think that to really replicate
your hearing you would have to do 13.1. In other words, have high frunts
like you do, high sides, and high rears. I mean, you hear things from above
too right? But they would have to figure out how to pan things vertically
straight up or down. Which would also mean more audio tracks as well. I
don't know does this sound right or what?

right now i'm running a 9.2 setup. theres front high channels and rear
center channels then your effect channels. the sound quality is dependent
upon the dvd. if you want to test a system. the roy orbison dvd called black
white night is beyond amazing. you hear sounds from every speaker/channel,
the regular dvd as well as the blu ray is just beyond amazing. if you love
that type of music thats a must to have.

 Whether there are discrete separate channels or merely reassigned 
 portions,
 it still gives a slightly more immersive sound.

 They are now offering 7.2 channels with some receivers.  I think the 
 second
 speaker in back sits up higher to again give more depth and location
 signature.  I haven't heard such a set up to tell though.

 Even with my old 5.1 disks, the sound seems fuller even if it's not 
 really.

 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.

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

JBL Onbeat Air speaker system

2012-03-02 Thread Dane Trethowan
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 smile.

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.
