I feel compelled to make the same comment I did with Gene's Best of the Year awards. Most (although not all) YT a/v reviewers and HT showcase features predominantly very expensive and high end gear. Most of us a/v enthusiasts unfortunately do not have the room or budget to support $50k - $100k+ rooms (all in a/v equipment, acoustics and install). It would really be nice to review and showcase the best in class for the $10k - $15k set-up and room. Furthermore, you need to remember we have to pay for all our gear! Thanks though for allowing us to only dream what is out there. 🤑
@@therealshanelee Like the OP said it's easy to call the top dollar gear "The Best". Unfortunately, peasants like me have to dig thru dumpsters, used market and low priced marketers for our gear. And, Shane, I'm happy for you that you can afford the best of the best without sweating it. Must be nice to have an unlimited income. Just what does one do for a living to make an income like that? All the best, Kevin
Couldn't imagine spending 5k for a 10 inch sub. I ordered a 4000ULF dual 18's from JTR for that price. Not sure the 10 inch could accidentally crack the concrete around me, like the JTR threatened to do, when I accidentally turned it up all the way.
I hope spare change does not wreck on Napoleon. Excellent acting and direction. They don't make movies like this anymore. Waterloo was literally a Sunday NFL football game.
I haven't tried the Denon A1H. However, living with the Denon 6500, I was unable to get the best out of any of my high-end speakers (Sonus Faber Sonetto's/ KEF ls50s) thankfully I came across the HDA units of Arcam. Just wondering if the 1AH makes that much of a difference.
Okay, cool, I was getting nervous since you guys haven’t mentioned much about the Denon A1H, for I bought that when it released, since I was nervous it would become hard to find, due to supply snags, that existed out in the world, and I have enjoyed using it, I am still trying to find the time to listen to a good Atmos mix, that uses all or most of the 9.2.6 Klipsch channels of audio that I have in my basemeant… I am always looking for suggestions….
Shane, Any chance you can do a video on capable blu-ray players that can support Kaleidescape disk to digital, and a how to video? Pugging it USB to USB, player to Kaleidescape,,,
Hey Shane, intrigued by your comment on blending the tv and centre speaker idea 🤔🤔🤔i hsve a sony A90J and sony dh-790 AVR. How do i go about that? Just send audio to both and then sync them manually or is there another way? Many thanks, Andy
Y'all are bat-sht crazy. 150k sub? How about bringing your "best of the year" lineup down to those of us who work for a living and don't have Saudi prince money.

this list is mostly high to mid tier with one exception. I also, pay for my gear.
Great duo Shane and Don!
I have the SVS isolation feet ,thats the only thing I can afford.

@@welderfixer you actually think I purchase everything I review?
what is the best4k projector for 2023
JVC - NZ9 Series or NZ8 for half the price.
No best processor?
I didn't review any last year.
@@therealshanelee weird ok thought u did thought marantz at 10 for some reason
I have the Denon 8500HA and thinking about upgrading is it worth it going to a Dirac unit over what I have?
Not really.
Hey Shane, great video! Would you still get the SVS soundpath isolators if you lived in a house? Thanks in advance.
Doesn't matter where you live. If you want better bass get them.
@@therealshanelee will do, thank you.
Did you ever get a chance to listen to the Q and R range of the kef in walls? Wonder how they compare vs the one you chose. Great video nevertheless!
I don't know of any places that demo in wall speakers. I have no way to test them either.
@@therealshanelee You are correct. Time flys as I thought that review was this year.

Hey Shane great video. Now that you have a larger home theater you should review some JTR speakers. Specifically the RT line.
If they want to send me some I'm fine with it.
What brand or package would you recommend for a complete surround sound set up (excluding a receiver) between 3 to 5 thousand?
Martinlogan, XTZ, and SVS is having great closeout deals if you want their older models.
OK thanks for the reply@@therealshanelee
Thanks

Shane please do a video with an av amp and sub and all speakers entry level please to the normal peoples price range example £2000
Cool
No PSB PWM series speakers in the ranking…? Strange they sound great

I would use your 6500 as a pre/pro to a good two channel amp for your speakers. I use an Anthem MCA225 v2 that sounds great!
for the price of the denon avr , the wattage should be 200 at 4ohms 🤦🏻🤦🏻🤦🏻
Good to see "Triple D" harnessed up and letting it all out!

there's hundreds of movie reviews on the channel with audio ratings also a best Atmos mix video.

Only works with supported receivers and TV's.
@@therealshanelee cool, will look into it 😃👍
Nice stuff unfortunately all out of my price range. How about stuff for the everyday man? lol 😂
Exactly
Between perlisten R212 and D210s which one has the best sound quality to your ears?
Same. Depends on your room size and output.
I like the smidge injection of humour in your reviews... If you guys charge a fee for your videos, I'll definitely buy one.
Surprised at the Best Sub. Thought you had the Perlisten D215s as the best you heard.
It was for that year.
Does Value electronics sell ascendo speakers? Where can I buy some of there speakers
No they don't.
Can you turn the bass in your mic down Shane. I like the channel but the bass is overbearing.
Another video of looking at hifi that’s astronomically expensive and not in the affordable range of 90% of people lol
There's one astronomically priced item. The others fall in the high to mid tier levels.
You would really hate Steve Gutenbergs site. I think techdad may be a more moderate price point.
I was really hoping for a sound bar recommendation
Y'all are bat-sht crazy. 150k sub? How about bringing your "best of the year" lineup down to those of us who work for a living and don't have Saudi prince money.
There's an $800 sub in the list for folks just like you.
