how are you bro, now back in malaysia to do business?

no upgrades yet, got eyeing on new av receiver

yamateh aventage

of course. 3.1 is better as it give a more firm "middle stage" in movie dialogs.
u can achieve surround feel by changing the facing direction (toe in toe out) of left right speakers

So its parallel connection, where the ohm is calculate by 1/8 + 1/8 = 2/8 or 1/4

invert the top, u running 4 ohm now. Very high ampere stress to amp.

if want reduce the load, use series connection.
speaker A connect red wire to amp (red terminal), black wire to speaker B red terminal.
then speaker B connect black wire to amp (black terminal)

this become 8+8=16ohm, volume lower but safe

Thats the dolby prologic 1
u can set 3 different mode to prologic 2

seagate a.k.a. the maxtor who bought quantum now join with samsung

price include subwoofer?

last time did you use tv for hdmi switching? looks like hdmi CEC problem not ARC.
try disable then enable again for all devices

arc can transmit sound from tv to ht amp. your amp got support arc too?
if got, just press the hdmi link button on remote and choose home theater to play sound.

buy the sound u like, because listening is subjetive matters.
what speaker u using now? any unsatisfy problem?

setup playback is easy, aim towards perfection is difficult.

ok then, how much u plan to spend?
if u want surround, 1-2k cannot go far from htib set.
if u dont want surround, can look around hifi shop.

what different are you asking? do u mean compare htib to tv sound?

of course much better la from speaker pointing downward is too weak and lost balance.

htib set, got amp, player, 5pcs speaker, 1pc subwoofer, cable.

ht component set, u pick and choose the above items.

big room or small room?
any prefered brand u have in mind or what is ur current system?

very matching design, another top notch job done by your team :claps: too bad that i dont have a chance to listen this setup

do u already have table, rack or stand in the room?
floor stander will cost more for sure

q series is more movie tuned, while latest r series i have not heard yet.
