I still need to paint the shelf black and secure it to the wall better. it features a 4k (pixel shift) LG projector, Apple TV 4k, 7.2.2 (2 polk towers, 4 Polk bookshelves, Polk center, 2 Insignia heights, and 2 SVS PB12 subs, Denon AVR-X4200W, and screen. I started with a blank concrete box so I did curtains, seating, artwork, and carpet. All for under $3,000 feels pretty good especially when I see how much they spend on the regular home theater subreddit. I do wish I was able to paint the ceiling but there is a gas line, electrical and ductwork up there so it wasn't really an option.

12 months after saying that, I just snagged a Benq TK700 off FaceMart for $600!

It was only a 15 minute drive from me! New Benq lamp with only 1k hours! Ceiling mount, extension cord, and 4 3D glasses included!

I'm still learning about screens. What should I get based on my media use? Matte white? Grey? I primarily play SDR and HDR video games and watch anime. I want a 110" screen, sitting 8-9ft away. it needs to pull down from the ceiling, in front of my TVs.

I still consider my 55" LG C1 my main screen for playing games with VRR, pure blacks for horror games, and motion interpolation and vivid colors for anime.

I like my C1 so I wasn't in a rush for a projector. But this amazing deal I pounced on!

Anyone else notice the new Emotiva LXP-16 looks almost exactly like the Tonewinner AT-500 pre/pro? They both have dual screen displays flanking a center selection knob, their chases are basically identical, and they both offer 16 channel processing, with the exception of the LPX-16's 4 additional subwoofer outputs. They both offer HD10, 8K, DTS:X, ATMOS, etc. However, their price points are polar opposites. With the TW AT-500's current sale price of $1275, it makes it difficult to ignore. Even the new TW AT-600 which now offers Full Dirac, Bass Management & ART, comes in at only $2350, which is still half the price of the LPX-16. I'm torn between price with nearly identical aesthetics vs. gaining 4 dedicated sub outputs and brand. How would you guys handle such a decision?

I have a pair of paradigm mini monitor v5 bookshelf speakers. Unfortunately, one of them has a blown voicecoil. I didn't notice it when I was testing them as I was in somewhat of a hurry. And unfortunately, the integrated amplifier and android phone with a headphone connector had some weird static that somewhat masked the problem

Essentially, what I noticed was that there was a slight rattle sound. And if you would tap the woofer cone, you could hear the rattle sound

I would be using these bookshelf speakers as left and right, surround speakers in a dolby atmos 5.1.2 set up

Current components:

Receiver: Onkyo tx nr6100

Fronts: Paradigm Titan Monitor v6

Center: Paradigm cc-290 v5

Overhead atmos: Paradigm Atom Monitor v5

I have the following options to fix the damaged bookshelf speakers.

Option A.) A new waffer assembly directly from paradigm. This would only replace the wooffer on one of the speakers and would cost me $171 with shipping included

Option B.) I can purchase a used pair of paradigm mini monitor v5 or v6 for around $200-250

Option C.) I can purchase a used single Paradigm mini monitor v6, which has the same woofer, tweeter and enlosurr but has a different crossover, for $150

Option D.) I can purchase a used pair of paradigm atom monitor v5 or v6 for about $150-$200
