Home theater equipment

[Cheesebeef]

I need a new soundbar for my tv in my new home. Looking at possibly getting Sonos Arc Ultra. Anyone have any suggestions?

Did you try looking up your ass?

FYI. This is my TV on the fireplace. I don't want any ancillary equipment showing so I was thinking of hanging a sound bar under the TV as those basically look like part of the TV as fine stand out.

That’s a sick set up, Joel.

Whenever you are in town, you need to check out my view with a cocktail! Just moved to Fountain Hills.

What project are you using now?

As for 150" UST, you sort of can with the MKII or PX3-pro. Caveats are that you need a light controlled room and not care about 3D. One of the guys calibrating the MKIIs has been playing with calibration for 150" screens and is saying that he has it going.

To be honest though, I wouldn't recommend going UST at this point for that big of a screen unless you either didn't have room for a long throw (my issue) or you have a older, lower end long throw and need to upgrade but don't want to hit JVC prices. The USTs have a much better price point.

I don't want to hit JVC prices, because I will likely never do that unless I win the lottery. I'm a cheap bastard and always doing a cost-benefit analysis on most large purchases I buy.

My room is completely light controlled, which is a plus, and I also don't care about 3D.

My throw distance is super fixed and I have it maxed out at what current (not UST) protectors can do for 150". (around 14')

I currently have an Epson 4040 that doesn't even support HDR; so I am looking for an upgrade. I'm not excited about shelling out 5k for that upgrade however.

I'm currently split at about 50% gaming, 50% TV/Movies at the moment, so low input lag is important to me. I'm seemingly stuck in no-man's-land at the moment.

What he said, WTH.

I just can't even with you anymore…



You'll most likely have to go to a soundbar with that setup and requirements. No ancillary equipment is tough even with a soundbar since they usually have surround speakers and a sub to them. I don't have a great knowledge of them off hand but I can give a research hand.

I could make that place rock though if we can have ancillary.

Yeah, your room's on the edge of long throw or not. Take a look at the Valerion projectors. Their new ones have had awesome buzz and fit your needs. 150" is a 12' throw with it. Something like it will probably end up being your best bet. The Max is a little pricey at $5k but the Pro2 at $2500 is a great projector and will be a huge upgrade for you.

Valerion wasn't on my radar. I was looking up projectors every few months until about 6-9 months ago when I felt defeated. I'm really encouraged by Valeron so far.

I'll have to read the owner's thread on AVS. I'm curious about this projector's keystone.

Where are you seeing the Pro2 for $2500? The website has it at $2999 and the Pro for $2500
