Do you use an AV Receiver in Your Home?

Yamaha RX-V577 receiver. Bose VCS-10 Center channel. Bose 301 front main with Polk audio 100 watt sub. Bose 201 rear speakers.

Forgot to say that it runs through 4 Pioneer CS-99a speakers, Polk center channel and subwoofer

Denon AVR-S700W through Polk Audio 5.1

Kind of on topic. is it best to plug streaming device (firestick or whatever) into the TV set or directly into the receiver (assuming the receiver is 4k cabable)?

Either should work. I have the latest Samsung top line soundbar and it has 2 HDMI in ports so I plug my Shield Pro onto one of the HDMI in ports, then HDMI eARC out to the HDMI eARC in on the TV. That’s it.

NAD with Energy 5,1 speakers

Almost identically to my setup. Differences are Onkyo Tx-nr 6100 and Audio Genie sub. Going to 5.1.2 from 5.1 surround made a noticeable difference. My former system was a Bose Lifestyle surround system. It was great in its day. But getting into modern times has greatly improved my listening experience.

Greetings,

I have Denon Amp with 7.1 speakers with this fire cracker

I have a Panasonic SA-HE75 receiver (circa 2001’ish) that still works great. A 5.1 speaker setup (ahem) from Radio Shack (same era), an Athena AS-P6000 subwoofer (again same era, but hey, it does have a 400 watt BASH amp - whipee…). I replaced the front left/right speakers with a pair of Energy Reference 22’s (from the late 80’s? and yes, the tweeters do need replacing - sigh I’ll get to it eventually).

A true hoarders home theater system, or at least a true poor man’s home theater system.

Logitech hub is not paired by the new Onn 4K Pro, freezes the Onn up, one did not even see the hub.

Onkyo NR7100, 9.1 speakers, LR OLED 77" C2, Roku, Shield TV, OTA by HDHR 4K Flex, Harmony Hub to control all, Kamrui W11 Pro media pc, 100mb FIOS, T95Z plus android box, Chromecast with Google TV, Firestick 4K (older). Shield TV acted so bad with the OLED I took it off and put it on a ROKU 4K TV, Shield pixilates on NBC ATSC 1.0 on all platforms but plays all the other OTA stations fine, some are even ATSC 3.0. Tried the ONN 4K Pro but they would not pair with the Harmony Hub so I sent 2 back and decided to wait for the Chromecast. I am limited by having COAX on multiple floors and cameras, tvs, computers, etc on all floors so I have a MOCA system and 3 wireless routers including the FIOS gateway.

This is a really old post, but I use a Marantz receiver, Klipsch towers and satellite speakers, center channel,and sub woofer. Onn4Kpro….however, TV is old 55ā€ Panasonic Viera ( plasma)… I know there are great tv’s out there, but this one offers an excellent picture and I can’t see replacing it until it stops working.

I have Yamaha RX V6A, vintage Pioneer towers, Klipsch center speak,Vis TV, Shield, Kenwood cd playe Technics phono, and Sony BR DVD. Considering adding a subwoofer.

Sounds quite similar to the setup I am using. I am getting a bit lazy and I have started using soundbars on some of my setups…

Have a Samsung 65ā€ Neo-Qled hooked to a Yamaha HTR-6130 receiver w/5 speakers & one sub.

welcome

Yamaha Natural Sound Receiver, Definitive Tech main speakers, JBL Riverside center channel, amplified 12ā€ sub, Mecool 4/32 and the rest are ONN Pros. People love listing their systems.

By the way, has anyone found an effective sound attenuator? A feature or device that will smooth out the sound volume so a movie action sound won’t blow your socks off (or the socks of someone in a different room), and then the vocals are almost too quiet to hear. ?

AMAZON:

RCA&/AUX/1/4 1/8ā€ Passive Stereo Inline Variable Audio Attenuator Adjustable Audio Attenuation Box for Home Theater and Official Audio Performance Playing (SIM-at-AUX/RCA/TS)

I use these and they work great.
