Lot's to dig through from the likes of Sony, Epson, Kaleidescape, SVS, Just Video Walls, AVPro, Klipsch and more! We're also blasting back in time with a trip to one of my favorite decades - 1970s - for a look at some tech that forever changed access to content in the home.Please Note: AV Nirvana may make a small commission from affiliate links... thanks for your support!

The automotive world spans an incredible spectrum from practical daily drivers to ultra-luxury vehicles that cost more than many homes. We dive deep into both extremes with our detailed examinations of the completely redesigned 2025 Infinity QX80 Autograph AWD and the efficient 2025 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid XSE AWD.The third-generation QX80 represents Infinity's flagship luxury SUV, combining imposing presence with incredible comfort features. With heated, ventilated, and massaging seats for both front and second-row occupants, a cutting-edge 14.3-inch touchscreen, digital instruments, and advanced safety features, this seven-passenger behemoth delivers a first-class experience. Powered by a twin-turbocharged V6 generating 450 horsepower and 516 pound-feet of torque, it also offers substantial capability with 8,500 pounds of towing capacity. We explore whether its smooth air ride suspension, opulent quilted leather, and 24-speaker Klipsch audio system justify the eye-watering $113,965 price tag (yes, that includes the $355 optional umbrella holder).Between our modern SUV reviews, we take a fascinating detour into automotive history with the overlooked 1971 Plymouth GTX. This gorgeous Mopar muscle car arrived just as the muscle car era was winding down, resulting in limited production despite its stunning fastback styling and powerful 440 cubic inch V8 options. With only 326 examples produced with the desirable 440+6 and four-speed manual transmission, values have skyrocketed to $150,000+ for well-restored examples.Finally, we examine the American-built 2025 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid XSE AWD, which delivers 219 horsepower and excellent fuel economy in a practical, versatile package. Priced at $43,509 as tested, we compare it to hybrid competitors from Honda, Hyundai, and Ford while evaluating its balanced capabilities for both daily commuting and light off-road adventures.What's your take on these vastly different approaches to the SUV market?

Jill and Tom opened the show discussing Renault technology which promises to significantly reduce the time it takes to extinguish an EV fire. The hosts also discussed the Lexus decision to drop the sporty RC coupe from the luxury brand's lineup. Tom followed this discussion up with one of his “X” polls, this time he asked users of the platform to pick the cooler marque: Bentley or Rolls-Royce. Listen in for the answer. Still in the first segment the hosts co-reviewed the 2025 Nissan Altima. While Tom found a lot to like about Nissan's midsize sedan, Jill had her doubts. Listen in for the complete story. In the second segment, Jill and Tom welcome Garrett Laskowski of Panasonic to the program. Garrett was part of the team responsible for fitting ultra-high-end Klipsch audio systems in the Nissan Armada and Infiniti QX80. Learn what makes a car sound system good, and what was involved in engineering the Klipsch setup for Nissan's big SUVs. In the last segment Jill is subjected to Tom's “Front-wheel drive or AWD?” Quiz.

「＜CES＞Klipsch、パーティスピーカー「Music City Party Speakers」3モデル。創業者の弟子が音響設計」　Klipschブランドは「CES 2025」でBluetooth接続対応パーティースピーカー “Music City Party Speakersシリーズ” 3モデルを発表。

On this week's show we ask “Could Legacy Audio Brands Disappear Next Year?” We also read your emails and take a look at the week's news. News: Peacock to Stream First Ever Animated Madden NFL Cast During Texans vs. Chiefs AT&T Sets a Date to Shut Down DSL Internet & Traditional Phone Service in Most Areas Max password-sharing restrictions coming soon Other: Hisense 85" Class R6 Series 4K UHD Roku Smart TV Could Legacy Audio Brands Disappear Next Year? Major audio brands, including Denon, Marantz, Klipsch, and Pioneer, are facing potential extinction as their parent companies, Masimo and Voxx International, struggle with significant financial difficulties.  Masimo, having acquired Sound United's brands for $1.532 billion in 2022, reported a decline in consumer audio revenue from $171.5 million to $161.4 million, leading to a loss of $31.3 million, including $12.9 million in Q3 alone. Similarly, Voxx International witnessed a 35% drop in consumer electronics sales and a 15.4% overall revenue decline, exacerbated by a $40 million court judgment and halted production of key brands due to licensing issues. The declines are attributed to a post-COVID market slump, where the surge in sales during the pandemic is now reversing, alongside structural corporate issues and shifting consumer preferences.  The post-COVID slump The pandemic created a surge in home audio sales as people built home offices and upgraded their living spaces. But those golden days are over. Since 2022, sales have crashed by up to 30% in some cases. For example, Voxx International's consumer electronics dropped by 35% partly because people aren't spending like they used to. Even turntables, which were flying off the shelves during lockdown, are now collecting dust in warehouses. The corporate structure problem The problems run deeper than just sales. Masimo, a medical tech company, lacks the expertise to run an audio business. They're experts at hospital equipment, but high-end speakers are a different game entirely. Voxx faces similar challenges. They can't even make Pioneer products anymore because of licensing issues! Perhaps because of these misalignments, both companies are trying to squeeze unrealistic profits out of these brands (around 300% to 500% margins). That's like trying to sell a $100 pair of headphones for $500. Voxx did manage to cut costs by $5.3 million in Q2, but their operating losses continue to mount. Basically, managing multiple classic brands under one corporate umbrella has only added to their struggles, spreading resources thin and diluting brand identities. The changing consumer market Consumer preferences have also changed dramatically: Young music fans prioritize convenience over traditional hi-fi setups. They're not looking for massive speaker setups anymore. Instead, they look for portable, budget-friendly solutions that fit their lifestyle better. Serious audiophiles are turning to vintage equipment, which often matches or exceeds new products in quality and value. Some Chinese manufacturers have come in to offer the same things luxury audio brands do but at less cost. So, customers have been leaning towards them more in recent years.

Both JVC and Sony have dropped new projectors that are turning heads, and we'll dive into the exciting—and pricey—details. Plus, Sound United may be on the chopping block as its parent company faces a financial crossroads, leaving the future of brands like Denon and Marantz hanging in the balance. Ascendo has unleashed a subwoofer that you've got to hear about, while Disney has finally listened to physical media collectors by embracing Dolby Vision for future UHD releases, but Disney+ is shutting down sharing accounts. There's also interesting news coming out of DTS, which is tackling the issue of dialog intelligibility with an AI-driven solution that could change how we hear our favorite shows. And speaking of innovation, we'll talk about a company that's bringing low-latency head tracking to Bluetooth headphones for a more immersive sound experience—perfect for Dolby Atmos fans. Last but not least, we'll take a look at KEF's new Q Series speakers, packed with technology to make your music and movie sound better than ever, and Klipsch's Flexus Core 300 soundbar, which might just be the best-sounding Atmos bar to hit the market.  Of course we've have a lot more to cover, including disc news, so buckle and get ready to dive into the world of AV News. *Forum Links* -For the latest disc reviews, go to: https://www.avnirvana.com/forums/blu-ray-media-reviews.12/ -For the latest news, including stories covered in this episode: https://www.avnirvana.com/forums/av-industry-news.6/ -To see the Top 20 Disc Releases of 2023, go to: https://www.avnirvana.com/threads/holiday-gift-guide-top-20-movie-discs-of-the-year.12847/ *PODCAST LINKS* -Subscribe to the podcast on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/2XZc1WVL7gGazxGLiURw0E Subscribe to the podcast on Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/av-nirvanas-home-theater-news-review-htnr/id1715862636 Please Note: AV Nirvana may make a small commission from affiliate links... thanks for your support!

On this week's show we look at the Best Home Theater Systems of 2024 according to CNET. Then we define a system that actually is a home theater system! We also read your emails and look at the week's news. News: MLB Network Launches Standalone Streaming Service, Available Without a Pay-TV Subscription Roku's ad director wants to bring Instagram-style shoppable ads to your smart TV Warner Bros. Discovery and Disney launch Hulu, Disney+, Max bundle Roku Acquires Streaming Rights for Beloved Sitcom “The Goldbergs” from Sony Pictures Television Other: NOTICE OF PROPOSED RULEMAKING FOR UNLOCKING MOBILE PHONES DIRECTV Equipment Best Home Theater Systems of 2024 When we saw this article over at CNET we remembered the days of Home Theater in a Box setup. Do those even exist anymore? Anyway, we checked out this article wondering what is considered the Best Home Theater System. We came away thinking we may have taken steps backwards for the sake of simplicity. Full article here… Best Budget Soundbar - Roku Streambar Street Price ~$125 Best Budget Surround Sound Speaker Package Klipsch Reference Theater Pack  5.1 System Street Price ~ $400 Best Bookshelf Speakers Elac Debut 2.0 B6.2 Street Price ~$400  Best Home Theater Soundbar System Vizio Elevate Street Price ~$700  Best 8K receiver Onkyo TX-NR6100 Street Price ~$475 If you are looking for a capable but value 5.1 system we have designed a “Home Theater in a Box System” for you! Our system will cost you more. However, it will sound much better! And for the record, we receive nothing from the manufacturers.  For speakers - The RSL CG3M 5.1 home theater system. This is a 5.1 system that includes four bookshelf, one center, and one subwoofer. The cost is $850. For the receiver - Denon AVR-X1800H. It's a 7.2 or 5.2.2 receiver (room for growth) that supports all the things we care about! It goes for $560. Total cost $1410. Yes, that's $535 more than the Onkyo and Klipsch system from the CNET article but it's much better and can grow with you.

On today's show, an education effort from the Runway Group and the Arkansas Farm Bureau highlights bicycle safety on rural roads. Plus, gravel cycling's recent rise in popularity and the unsafe road conditions forcing cyclists off the streets. Also, the Startup Crawl returns in September and how audio giant Klipsch got its start in Arkansas.

This week, Phil reviews his first Panasonic TV of the year, the mid range MZ980 OLED, while the Ascendo ‘sub and sat' home cinema speakers get an in depth check over from Doug.

Analogue Discogue is an esteemed hi-fi, vinyl-only event hosted by house and disco aficionado, Norm De Plume. We were invited to join the line-up for its July event: a sun-kissed Sunday afternoon affair hosted at the exquisite, Japanese-inspired Rekōdo Restaurant & Vinyl Bar at Sydney's Barangaroo. Rekōdo's crystal-clear Klipsch sound system sounded expectedly immaculate right throughout the afternoon's proceedings: the clarity and warmth of the system provided an ambient yet immersive experience for diners and listeners, alike. It was an absolute pleasure.

One of the challenges facing those who want to enjoy immersive surround sound at home is the need for lots of speaker wires. WiSA (Wireless Speaker and Audio Association) is eliminating the need for speaker cables by enabling up to 8 speakers to connect wirelessly from a single source. That means it can work for both stereo listening and for home theater, supporting Dolby Atmos 5.1.2.A few established audio brands are already integrating WiSA into their products such as Bang & Olufsen, Klipsch, Platin, LG and Dynaudio. What makes WiSA appealing to audiophiles is its ability to transmit uncompressed lossless and hi-res audio wirelessly.In this episode we talk about the future of wireless home audio with Tony Ostrom, President of WiSA. Tony has a 25-year career in the consumer electronics industry and has previously worked in product development and marketing roles for Klipsch, House of Marley, Powermat, and JL Audio. Tony has a BA in Music Engineering and a Minor in Physics from Ball State University.Will your next wireless speakers support WiSA? There's a good chance they will.For more information: https://www.wisatechnologies.comRelated reading:https://www.ecoustics.com/articles/wisa-explained/https://www.ecoustics.com/news/wisa-ds-wisa-e/https://www.ecoustics.com/news/hisense-wisa-soundsend-tvs/Credits:• Original intro music by The Arc of All. https://www.sourceoflightandpower.com• Voice Over Provided by Todd Harrell of SSP Unlimited. https://sspunlimited.com• Production by Mitch Anderson, Black Circle Studios. https://blackcircleradio.comKeep up-to-date with all the latest Hi-Fi, Headphone, Home Theater and Music news by visiting:https://www.ecoustics.com#wisa #wireless #homeaudio #hifi #hometheater #dolbyatmos #hiresaudio

We're about to make the 1000-mile journey from our old home to a new apartment. We had to find short-term living arrangements while our new home is still being built. Our Realtor and Home Stager, both said it won't sell. "Nobody wants pianos anymore." New homes don't have formal dining rooms." "Your bedroom furniture was in style 20 years ago and it's too big." "People don't have rooms big enough for that old entertainment center." "Those old Klipsch speakers are too big for anyone or any room except yours." "Nobody needs an office desk as big and expansive as yours... computers have gotten smaller." It made us worry, that we would have to pay to donate and have hauled away. In marketing, the most common goal I see or hear is to increase sales. To achieve that, we tend to implement multi strategies concurrently that evolve with feedback loops. With larger B2b businesses, there are three key parts that have to work concurrently and evolve as we proceed. I am happy to report that everything is sold and out of the house. Imagine how if you did the same for your business, how much easier your business sales could become? It takes, time, and commitment to build KNOW, LIKE, and TRUST... but when you truly need that to become an asset in your lives. IT CAN! “The Difference Between A Successful Person And Others Is Not A Lack Of Strength, Not A Lack Of Knowledge, But Rather A Lack Of Will.” – Vince Lombardi In this episode, I will show you how social media engagement... can help translate into unexpected and unbelievable sales!

This week we explore a world where Netflix uses ads to support it's massive hunger for content and consider an approach where smart TVs are replaced by a mechanism that lets set top box manufacturers integrate their software with the TV. We also explore the sub $400 tower speaker world. All this plus your emails and the week's news on this week's show. News: Is Google fortifying its audio plans? Disney+ will introduce ad-supported tier at lower price The Beatles' Biggest Hits Turn 3D on Apple Music Amazon Launches Standalone IMDb TV App for Samsung Smart TVs Apple and Major League Baseball to offer “Friday Night Baseball” Hulu to Lose Next-Day Streams of NBC Shows, Shifting to Peacock Instead Netflix CFO has no plans for advertising but 'never say never' A senior Netflix Inc executive said on Tuesday the company had no current plans to offer a streaming option that included advertising but declined to rule it out in the future. Full article here…   Roku CEO Wood: Samsung, LG and Vizio Will Eventually Give Up on Their Own OS The major smart TV makers who supply their own operating system will eventually give up and license a third-party OS from either Roku, Amazon or Google, Roku CEO Anthony Wood said. Full article here… Inexpensive Tower Speakers We saw a post over at AVS Forum where someone was asking about which sub $400 tower speaker would make a good addition to his theater. The poster was asking other members to chime in on the merits of the Klipsch R-820F vs the JBL Studio 590. Both are highly rated by users. Well this got us wondering about other quality sub $400 tower speakers. Before we get into the list, why would you want floor standing speakers?  Loudness - Floor standing speakers typically get louder than satellites so if you have a larger room or simply like your music and movies loud, Towers are the way to go. Full Range - Tower speakers have better frequency range and can typically go to lower frequency lessening the reliance on a large subwoofer. We are not saying you don't need a subwoofer but the Klipsch can reproduce sound down to 35Hz. Higher Sensitivity - This is a spec that many people ignore because we have such big amplifiers. But the higher the sensitivity the less your speakers have to work to create sound. A typical bookshelf speaker has a sensitivity of 85db. That means that it speaker produces a level of 85dB when driven with 1 watt of power and measured 1 meter in front. The JBL has a sensitivity of 92db. The translation is that your amplifier doesn't need to work as hard which will extend it's life. The Klipsch has a sensitivity of a whopping 97db! They Sound Better - This is a general statement and needs further context. There are plenty of bookshelf speakers that will sound better than tower speakers. However, within a manufacturers line the tower speakers will sound better than the same model's bookshelf version.  Of course there is the pesky issue with size. Tower speakers don't fit easily in some rooms and typically cost more than their bookshelf counterparts. Which finally brings us to our list of some fantastic tower speakers that won't break the bank. Klipsch R-820F ($399 each) Frequency Response 35Hz - 21kHz +/- 3dB Sensetivity 97 dB @ 2.83V/1M Power handling (cont/peak) 150W/600W 1" Aluminum LTS tweeter 90x90 Square Tractrix Horn Dual 8" Spun-Copper IMG Woofers Bass-Reflex via Rear-Firing Tractrix® ports Strong, Flexible Removable Magnetic Grille Dimensions: 43" x 10.9" x 17.5" (1093mm x 277mm x 443mm) Weight 54 Lbs (25.5 Kg) JBL Studio 590 ($399.99 each) Frequency Response 35Hz - 40kHz +/- 3dB Sensetivity 92 dB @ 2.83V/1M Power handling 25 - 250W 1" (25mm) compression driver with neodymium magnet and one-piece Teonex diaphragm on a glass-filled ABS Bi-Radial horn, magnetically shielded tweeter Two 8" (200mm) PolyPlas cones with Symmetrical Field Geometry magnet structures, cast frames and rubber surrounds, magnetically shielded woofers Dimensions: 49.75" x 12.7" x 16.25" (1263mm x 322mm x 413mm) Weight 69.5 Lbs (31.5 Kg) Debut 2.0 5.25″ Floorstanding Speaker – DF52 ($399.98 each) Frequency Response 42Hz - 35kHz +/- 3dB Sensitivity 86 dB @ 2.83V/1M Power handling 140W 1″ Cloth Dome tweeter Three 5-1/4″ Aramid Fiber woofer Dimensions: 40" x 7" x 9.2" (1016mm x 178mm x 233mm) Weight 69.5 Lbs (31.5 Kg) Monolith by Monoprice Encore T6 Tower Speaker ($399.99 Each) Frequency Response 37Hz - 20kHz +/- 3dB Sensitivity 87.8 dB @ 2.83V/1M Power handling 50-180W 1″ Silk Dome with Waveguide tweeter 6.5" Long Fiber Pulp Cone with NBR Surround mid woofer 2x 6.5" Long Fiber Pulp Cone with NBR Surround woofer Dimensions: 40" x 7.9" x 13.8" (1016mm x 201mm x 351mm) Weight 49.2 Lbs (22.3 Kg)  

I spoke with Klipsch's Roy Delgado just a few days ago, and we really had a good time! I love the man's sense of humor, he always makes me laugh! He's played a large role in designing the Heresy, Forte, Cornwall, LaScalla, and later versions of the Klipschorn! This time we mostly talked about the Klipsch Jubilee's long history, dating back to 1996! Back then Roy was working with the man himself, Paul W. Klipsch, and the Jubilee was to be the brand's new flagship. Well, it wasn't an easy ride, the Jubilee is just now going into full production!Here's a Zoom  interview I did with Roy a few years ago. https://youtu.be/Jv7JZ5Nptqk

To become a business analyst, there's a lot you have to learn, even after you've obtained the title and role. Aside from writing user stories and representing the end user for the development team, the role of a business analyst is really what you make of it. You're constantly learning and growing, better understanding the business practices and the people who make up the foundation of the organization. In today's podcast, we sit down with business analyst, Zach Klipsch, and discuss topics such as the BA interview process, the role of a BA and what it's like working with integrated teams. Our Speaker: Zach Klipsch After a high school injury cost him the ability to play soccer in college, Zach worked with a physical therapist who helped show him the value of determination and helping others. This inspired Zach to attend and graduate from Maryville University in Saint Louis, Missouri. Through their dual degree program with Washington University, he was able to major in biomedical engineering. After spending 6 to 8 hours per week working for the university as an analyst and technical expert, Zach discovered that he had many of the skills and tools needed to become an entrepreneur. This led him to pursue full time employment at Bayer, Centene Corp, and presently Quanterix. We are proud to introduce Zach Klipsch.

On today's show we ask the question whether a $300 toaster with a touchscreen is worth buying.  We take a look at Klipsch's Soundbar killer the Fives and we give you a rundown of the Alexa Live 2020 conference. All that plus your emails and news! The Revolution R180 Toaster has a touchscreen. It's ridiculous and I love it Refrigerators, countertop ovens, microwaves and even multicookers all adopted touchscreen displays in the wake of the birth of the smart home. Now there's a toaster with a touchscreen. This won't be the first time I question the idea of putting a touchscreen on an appliance, and it likely won't be the last.  Full article here...

CES 2020 After a few year Hiatus we returned to Las Vegas for CES. Because we were there on our day job's behalf we did not get to see everything that CES has to offer. We focus on the  main players. We'll do a susquent show on the cool things that were reported on but not seen by us. TCL TCL had a good sized booth and as an attempt to solve Braden's Analysis Paralysis Ara checked them out first. He found what Braden was looking for, an 85 inch QLED!  The picture was amazing! Bright colors, the content was extremely optimized to show this off, great contrast and slim space saving design. Then it was on to the Mini LEDs which were shown in a darkened room. The content they had was showing severe banding in the sky shots. But the color and blacks looked quite good. There were better implementations of Mini LED at the Sony and LG booths.  TCL also had a Cinema Wall that had stuck pixels and min LED grids that were visible to the naked eye. On the second day the wall was turned off. TCL also demonstrated Smart products including locks. And let me tell you these locks are beefy!  LG At LG I focused solely on their TVs. I was given a presentation that pertained to my day job at Delta Airlines and thus limited to what I can talk about. What I can tell you is the bendable OLED is a big part of their strategy. I saw the OLED that rolls up and it is amazing! Unfortunately I was not allowed to take a photo of the screen, how thick it is, or the mechanism.   What I can talk about is the OLED, Mini, and Micro LEDs. All delivering fantastic pictures. Seeing the Micro LED with my own eyes makes me excited about that technology. Pretty much all the goodness of OLED without any of the drawbacks. It almost looked 3D. Not gimmicky 3D but like you were looking through a glass window. The 8K OLED looked incredible as did their mini LED. Sony Sony had their Masters Series TV. Sony has been involved with film mastering for years. These are small monitors with exacting color calibration. With this line Sony wants to bring what the film maker has created into your living room unadulterated! They claim it's as close to what the film maker sees in the studio. I can tell you that the color, detail, and contrast is nothing like I have seen in the past! I have uploaded a hi-res video that does not do the TV justice but it's still pretty good :-) Sony also had their micro LED technology which they call Crystal LED. People we are living in an age where there are incredible TVs on the market! Klipsch Klipsch, known for speakers, was at the show but not a speaker to be seen. Well almost, they did show up with sound bars and some really cool wireless headphones. The “Klipsch Bar 54A Dolby Atmos” bar was one of Digital Trends best soundbar of CES 2020 but it will set you back $1500. Klipsch feels that they have solved the active noise cancelling for wireless earbuds but again that will cost you a pretty penny. Their x McLaren T10 True Wireless smart earphones will cost $999 and will be available in the fall. They have other models that cost much less and look really cool!  Samsung  Samsung had the Wall prominently displayed. When you see this in person it is quite impressive. This is a massive display measured 24 feet or 7.4 meters diagonally. Check out this picture to get an idea of how massive it is!  They also demonstrated a soundbar called Q-Symphony that worked in conjunction with their TVs speakers to give you a surround sound experience without the need for speakers on the back wall. The demo worked well. But we were in a perfect rectangle room with nothing on the walls. No prices were given but we were told it would be in line with their higher priced sound bars. Plus you need an upper tier Samsung TV. More than a thousand Dollars but less than two thousand dollars.  Finally there is Samsung's Robots. One little guy that looks like a tennis ball and will follow you around and can show you videos when you are not home. The thinking here is that the robot is like your personal valet and will take care of you while you are at home and can keep an eye on things when you are away. This may be a good idea for people with pets.  Smart Home Everyone had some sort of smart device! There was even a smart closet that helped you pick out something to wear and though RFID delivered it to you!  

Ultimate Home Theater in a Box for 2018 Each year we design a Home Theater setup that is considerably better than a typical home theater in a box. We have seen complete setups for less than $500 from manufacturers like Sony and Panasonic that quite frankly do not sound good. While our system costs more than a name brand HTIB your satisfaction will be dramatically more. Plus we include EVERYTHING you need to actually setup a home theater.  Minimum components for our system are a HDTV, Receiver, and 7.1 speakers. For this feature we choose components that we either have direct experience with or have experience with a similar model made by the same manufacturer.  We are defining a system that can had by anyone who is serious about home theater. These systems will look and sound great by anyone's definition! Braden: Our goal has always been to build the Ultimate Home Theater in a Box without breaking the bank. The ultimate home theater on a budget, if you will. It has been interesting to watch the prices of equipment fall over the years to where we are able to build really nice, really brag-worthy systems without having to take out a personal loan. All of the gear in my Ultimate Box might total up to less than the cost of any year I've built yet. TV TCL 65" 65R617 4K UHD Dolby Vision HDR Roku Smart LCD TV $999 It wouldn't be a Braden TV list without a TCL on it. TCL's 6-Series delivers 4K HDR picture performance and the Roku TV smart platform in one. Dolby Vision for greater brightness and contrast, as well as a fuller palette of rich colors. TCL's Contrast Control Zone technology individually optimizes the image across up to 120 zones for better contrast. The 6-Series models' iPQ Engine™ provides precise color replication while HDR Pro Gamma is supposed to improve HDR performance in any setting. It has an enhanced remote control with Voice Control and 3 HDMI 2.0a ports with HDCP 2.2 (1 ARC). Receiver Marantz SR6012 $949 (MSRP $1499) 9.2 Channel Full 4K Ultra HD Network AV Surround Receiver with HEOS I just bought this receiver for myself - will be putting it under the tree just for me. The deal was too good to pass up. And I need a new one anyway. And it features Dolby Atmos and DTS:X surround decoding, with the ability to drive overhead speakers. It is equipped with 9 channel amplification, rated at 110 watts per channel, so you can set up a 7.1.2 or 5.1.4 3D experience without an external amplifier; with an additional amp the set-up can expand to 7.1.4, because it has 11.2 channel processing support. It has the latest HDMI and HDCP 2.2 specifications on all 8 HDMI inputs. With 4K Ultra HD 60Hz video, 4:4:4 Pure Color sub-sampling, High Dynamic Range (HDR), 21:9 video, 3D, and BT.2020 and Dolby Vision pass-through on every input. And in addition, HLG (Hybrid Log Gamma) pass-through is also supported for forthcoming HDR broadcasting contents, and eARC (Enhanced Audio Return Channel) will be supported via a firmware update as well. Speakers Klipsch Black Reference Theater Pack 5.1 Surround Sound System $849 Sure, this is only 5.1 and the receiver will do 9, but it's a great start with really great sounding speakers. You can add on as many additional satellite speakers, or Klipsch reference in wall or in ceiling speakers, as you have budget for them. Did I mention the subwoofer is wireless? Klipsch's exclusive Tractrix Horn Technology and aluminum tweeters deliver very clean and very natural sound. The down-firing wireless subwoofer is designed to deliver room-filling low frequencies without requiring too much floorspace. To complement the easy placement of the wireless subwoofer, each satellite speaker has a keyhole mount and a threaded insert for maximum mounting flexibility. The Reference Theater Pack brings the Klipsch cinematic sound into your home with an incredibly minimal footprint. Other/Total/Summary Yup. Looks and feels like me. TCL/Roku television, Marantz receiver (I'm typically Denon, but Marantz is a close sibling), and Klipsch speakers. All of that for a grand total of $2797.  That's less than half the price of my first plasma. And all you need to hook it up is a bit of speaker wire and a single HDMI cable. Your phone can control the Roku TV and the Receiver, so no need for a universal remote. The TV has all your apps and the receiver can get audio from the apps via ARC for surround sound. Unless you want to connect a traditional cable or satellite box, or a Blu-ray player, everything you need is in the box. Some years passed have had bigger TVs, some have had more speakers (7.1), some have had more accessories. But this system, for as basic as it seems, is really awesome. And very affordable. The 75” upgrade would add $1000 if you stick with TCL, but can be as little as $400 more if you choose a different brand (which may mean adding a streaming box as well). The 86” upgrade adds $2000 to the price, for a total of $4797. Also swaps TV brands to LG. Honestly, under $5000 for this system is unreal. Ara: This year I am striving for the lowest cost quality experience that I can assemble. I spent $3000 for my fist HDTV so my goal is to come in with a full system for less than that original HDTV. Other requirements will be 4K UHD, quality picture, and good sound. I am not including a blu-ray player as I feel streaming has come a long way and since this is geared towards the budget minded the quality will be just fine. TV LG 65" Class (64.5" Diag) 4K UHD LED LCD 65UK6090PUA  ($650 at Costco) This TV is larger, better, and much cheaper than my original HDTV. It's 4K my first DLP was 720p. It supports HDR and wide color and is a smart TV. Even though this is a “budget” pick it will produce a picture that you will have no issues watching regardless of what you are watching. Receiver Sony STR-DN1080 7.2 Channel Home Theater AV Receiver ($450 Street Price) For the receiver I went with my budget choice from the receiver buying guide. For the price this receiver is hard to beat! It's a 7.2 receiver that supports all the latest audio formats including Atmos and DTS:X. Throw in 4K UHD compatibility with support for HDR (HDR10, HLG (Hybrid Log-Gamma), and Dolby Vision) and you have a reasonably priced receiver that will serve you well for many years to come. Other features include: Hi-Res compatible, 6 HDMI in and 2 out, Bluetooth Connectivity with NFC one touch, and Wifi, Airplay, and Chromecast compatibility. Speakers SVS Prime Satellite 5.1 System ($1000) Even in my budget minded setup I spend a little more money on speakers than you would think. Sound is so important and bad speakers can ruin the experience. My original setup included a Yamaha home theater in a box that cost $1000 which included speakers that at most would have been about $150 of that total. These SVS speakers are high quality and include an excellent subwoofer (SB-1000) which is a 12 inch unit that goes as low as 24Hz!! Other/Total/Summary Set Top Box of your choice ($150) - AppleTV, FireTV, Roku, etc. You want a movie or TV service and all of these boxes have more or less the same experience. Wires/Cables $100 - Gotta hook it all up! Total Cost - $2350 For $2350 you will have a system that you can be proud to show off and use for years. At some point I would upgrade the receiver and TV but the speakers are something that will last for years. You may want to add more channels and maybe 3D audio but it would be just adding on not replacing.
