Been working in my basement (painting, built a room for my son, etc) and throughout the process discovered that my old receiver died. The wife mentioned a new tv and it was game on. So my new set-up is as follows:
. Samsung 65 inch QN65Q7DT tv
. Sony STR-DH790 receiver
. Sony Dolby atmos speakers
. Polk speaker setup with two sub-woofers
. Sony hdr/4K DVD player
. Apple 4K box
I was initially in-impressed with the set up, I then discovered some speaker wiring issues, and that fixed my disappointment. The only thing that would make me want to leave the house for a movie is the popcorn. The Dolby atmos seems to add a little extra pop to movies.
I am likely in for about $3k all told, and I am happy. so I can only imagine what some of these $20k systems must sound like.
Upstairs we have a $500 home theatre in a box and I revisited that set up and discovered some speaker issues as well and it sounds much better as well.
