So Atmos then requires at least 9.1, it seems. I have the Marantz SR 5014 model doing 7.1 now about 6 years old. It sends the main L and R to a TFM 4.0 driving a pair of NHT 2.6i speakers. The other 5 channels are fed through an AV-705x feeding my front-L&R surrounds high up on the left and right walls 6 feet from the back wall, and feeding my rear-L&R surrounds behind the sitting area sweet spot. The SR 5014 is connected to a Samsung flat screen via E-ARC HDMI so i can control everything with the 7 button Samsung remote (very cool how this works so well!). Oh, My surround speakers and center were a Boston surrounds I picked up when Boston was still making good speakers..., they are a "system" to support that configuration, or a 5.1. I have a single sub - a Carver Knight Shadow - the rare and elusive Carver-branded version of a Sunfire Super Junior (I have 4 of these..., LoL). I think that the best thing about the Marantz is the Audessy setup..., gets thing close for my room (which is wildly non-standard - then I ususally tweak it - mostly tweaking the Center channel to amplify dialog/speaking for movies. The above config is in a "den" style room off of our kitchen that we use daily for most TV use. I should say that I have a second AV setup, it is showing it's age - denon receiver (hate it), and fabulous Sonus Faber speaker setup..., description for another day - I am hoping to re-outfit it with another Marantz receiver, through a 2 channel and 7 channel Sunfire amplification. Located in the man cave combo bourbon-bar and is less used.

Es porque han pasado exactamente 30 años, así que no creo que sea tan extraño. Hola a todos, han pasado algunos días desde mi última publicación, pero tengo noticias que compartir. Finalmente decidí hacer dos cosas. Quizás recuerden que sospechaba que el problema era el ferrofluido de los tweeters. Una de ellas fue desmontar los tweeters para verificar que el ferrofluido estuviera completamente seco. Los limpié siguiendo los tutoriales. La bobina móvil y las cúpulas parecían estar en perfectas condiciones. Compré el ferrofluido en eBay. Todavía no ha llegado. El segundo que hice fue desmontar el crossover y descubrí que había sido completamente reconstruido y modificado con condensadores de alta fidelidad. Es muy posible que este trabajo se haya realizado en Argentina. Les mostraré fotos de lo que encontré. En general, suenan fantásticos, pero los tweeters están un poco apagados y sin brillo. Si no es el problema del ferrofluido, entonces debería revisar el crossover.

Most of my HT power is Carver. A 500t MKII runs the L & R, another 500t MKII runs the center (steering mode, not bridged), a Sunfire Theater Grand runs the base layer surrounds (4 speakers x 200 Sunfire watts - overkill I know), and a Parasound Z-12 running 8 of its channels bridged to 4 running the 4 Atmos speakers at 100 watts each. Then there’s the subs - the 2 SVS SB4000 each have a 1,200 watt amp, and the 2 Velodyne DD18 subs each have a 1,250 watt amp. The 4 subs pressurize the room quite well…;-) I am running the Marantz SR6015 receiver as a processor. I didn’t see any reason to move up the line (SR7015 or SR8015), because I didn’t need the 2 extra amp channels (9 vs 11) nor did I need more powerful amp channels, as ALL my amplification is via separate amps. There are a lot of different options for Atmos channels. While ceiling mount is best, high on the front wall is pretty good, and even the “aimed & ceiling reflected” Atmos speakers that sit on top of the front mains present a realistic image.

More pictures please.

There were a lot of speakers at Axpona last year that I wished I could have heard the RAM through them. 😁
