The old speakers are larger. How shall get rid of the old system?
So, right after getting back from uptown, I started. There have been a fair number of improvements in surround-sound setups in the last 17 years! I like how the TV and receiver can now be connected with a single HDMI ARC cable. I got a kick out of the easy method for setting speaker volume. I had to plug in a cable with a small microphone, set it on the back middle of the couch, and let the system adjust itself. The equipment is still sitting in approximate locations but everything appears to be working.
Who knew that I'd be able to find so many Netflix movies and shows available in Dolby Atmos! The tiny up-firing speakers on top of the main left and right enclosures do not really make a whole lot of difference. Still, it's a fair sight more immersive than the tiny, mono TV speakers of my youth.
