  @decryption Hey Anthony - I know you've posted some photos of your home cinema setup over recent years, but I can't find an easy way to search Mastodon for them.. did you do any kind of follow-up posts on your setup with the projector, amp, etc?

  @decryption ah thanks, I missed that second post. Your comment about going for a TV instead of a projector is interesting - my room is the same width as yours, but only 4m deep, so I didn't think I would want a big enough screen to warrant a projector, so had been looking at OLED/QLED TVs 85" or up instead, plus a Sonos system. Then I went to a hifi shop today and the guy reckoned this package (Epson TW-7100, 115" screen, same Polk speakers as you) would suit me fine......

  @decryption looks great! did some of the old posts not make the cut, or still coming? I just went to reference your home cinema posts again and got the 404s...

  @decryption no worries - i was more worried that you might have missed setting up redirects for all your old urls, but then noticed that some of them did still redirect, so figured you were onto it!

  @decryption yeah, my Hisense from a few years back only has 100mbit ethernet too, would've thought they would have they moved on from that by now. You rate the C855 otherwise though? I'm looking at one of the newer 85" C7K/C8K models for my theatre - unfortunately the 98" is just a bit too expensive, and probably a bit too close for the front row in my small room.

  @decryption I might've taken you up on that, but yeah, postage to Perth would be a hassle with something that heavy..

  @decryption "Primitive membrane: Biaxially oriented polypropylene (BOPP)" - I mean, that does sound like something you'd read on an audiophile forum...

  @decryption interesting.. does it only do it for Dolby/surround formats, or will it send Hi-Res lossless to your receiver, despite the current OS sample rate (eg exclusive mode)?

  @decryption just realised that's not a new Tahoe feature, as it's in Sequoia now. And it's also under the "Spatial Audio" heading, and not the Lossless Audio setting, so I'm guessing it won't do what I was wondering anyway...

  @decryption heeded your advice, and went with a big TV instead of a projector... definitely the right choice.

  @decryption yeah, haven't noticed too many reflections so far, but a rug was definitely the plan. And I reckon the 12" sub will do me fine for now, or I'll have the neighbours on my case! Surrounds and height speakers to go up soon as well.
