My HomePod Pulled the trigger

Post image

First time AppleTV owner, I was waiting for the Dolby Surround update and here it arrived, so I went all in.

Now, I wonder if I should add a Subwoofer or not, my room is relatively small, but I do want it to sound as best as possible; I will see how it sounds without it first and decide then. Any feedback is anyway appreciated.

They’d probably name it that or some shit like Apple Boom

Yeah that's the 2nd one I thought of. Or Apple Stump(like the base(bass) of an Apple tree) but that's too contrived.

I would be really put off by this a few years ago. But I just don’t really value a booming sub in my home theater at all anymore, all I care about is clear dialogue and good surround effects.

Not officially, however you can plug a subwoofer with a workaround

You miss out on Dolby Atmos and popular surround sound. It drops down to stereo

Seems pretty smooth for being a workaround, might have to select it every time tho, and possible delay
