Emotiva | Custom XPA3 6-Channel Amp Review
The app is utter garbage and they need to scrap the app; I have to restart my android app 2 to 3 times to get it to work. Always defaults to System not Found. It takes 6 seconds to adjust the volume to update, Can't play Get the Shot - dominant predation song from youtube music. Also when my phone screen times out and goes black and I open app again and nothing is loaded. Lately I found that my sonos is going into mute mode without my input. Android wigit is gone. Each time I open the app it makes me so disappointed. They try to solve the app issues by releasing headphones. Just look at the stock price since the release of the app in May.
I stumbled upon a Sonos Playbar in a thrift store I visit every weekend ......didn't know what it was,never heard of the name. Took a gamble on it for $69.99. Bought an optical cabl e for it(rocketfish) for $40 . Put both together--what incredible sound!!! So for $110-120 I have theatre-like sound . And the SPB is 11 yrs old!
OK I just moved all four of my Prime elevations above the front Left and Right and above the left and right rear channels. 7.2.4. Let me tell ya height channels is the way to go aim them fully at the MLP.
I agree sir, it’s so important to have those top layer speakers pointing at the MLP, I think most people out there just have them pointing downwards and are not getting that full immersion.
My LG qned86 has bad viewing angles as well, probably because it's Edge Lit
LG TVs use VA panels which have a tendency of producing very bad viewing angles. Edge Lit won’t help either as they will wash out images at angles too
I just bought a Sonos beam gen 2 and mini sub yesterday and the Sonos app won't work. Keeps saying mini needs update but won't update just gives error 1000. So I have a sub and app I can't even use at all. I guess I should have went with the Bose system instead
I lost my playlist!!🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
Such a shame they’re so expensive. Sonos trying to put them up against AirPods Max, which is a huge miss.
I returned my Era 100’s. They sounded great but WHAT A HEADACHE!!!
Cut the intro music to 1/2 pls.
Thanks for the feedback!
I was on the verge of buying sonos. I'll keep an eye out on what the communities are saying and maybe buy later. But for now, i will stick with my wired basic speakers. Changing app layout and functionality to hardware that requires the app controls makes it feel like you're not really in control of your hardware.
This is sort of the downside to Sonos is that it’s always been app dependent.
@@HiFiBrothers i agree, but it was a bit odd even if they hadn't proven they can't be trusted.
Did anyone figure out how playlists made in the sonos app are shown? I can't find them at all. Thanks for any advice!
Only way I could find is by adding a song or playlist to “Sonos Favorites”.
We all paid Sonos for their app as well as the physical hardware. A malfunctioning app is simply not good enough and asking customers to be patient, given the marketing of their "premium" product is simply not good enough. Demand a refund from Sonos and don't tolerate any more of their excuses!
I have two 55 inch tv's so technically I have 110 inches of screen.
I love the system but Sonos lost customer is me. The latest update was screwed me for a month now. I don’t recommend anyone surrendering me friends or family anymore.
Wd 40 worked for me but only the one that says that its made for electrical devices. (Excuse my bad english im german)
The only problem that I have ever had whit Sonos is when I tried to do the trueplay again after the last update and it wasn’t working but I tried a-few hours later and it works other than that no problems at all
Yep! It hasn’t been “buggy” for me like I’ve seen for others, just more of missing features (which are getting slowly added back) or having to learn the app again.
Time for me to find a decent music system and dump my sonos rubbish....
Check out our other videos, if you need recommendations.
Sonos has been infected with the Black rock virus !!! DEI, they will end up like Boeing....
I personally think that these speakers can handle everything. They get really loud if you push them.
Love the intro!!!
Considering grabbing the 100U88N in Canada. Do you think it's worth it to spend a bit more for a much brighter display with way more dimming zones?
More than double the price - I’d do a little more homework on other options ie: OLED, Projector etc. If it still ends up as your top choice, go for it! 5x more dimming zones will make watching HDR content even more enjoyable.
The app is utterly appalling- Sonos shafted its loyal customers by releasing an untested app just so they could line their pockets for the ace headphone release Queue management is still a joke - no ability to delete tracks or move tracks about and worse still if you change the source to watch tv and then try to go back to the music queue it’s impossible Utterly farcical and whoever was responsible should be sacked The shareholders should kick out the entire board
💯
I agree with you on the app update. i think giving people time to transition but I guess sonos never learns their lesson! I wish they released a beta instead of rushing the software out. It seems a lot of these developers would rather rush out a product then spend extra money beta testing too bad. On the headphone side, apple even has a heads phone for $450 so for Sonos to price their products as high as apple is a huge disappointment, i am 100% sure there are better products then their headphones.
Unfortunately this seems to be the norm for all software companies nowadays. ie: video games, apps, websites - list goes on. “Just release it now and we’ll deal with it later” - seems like these releases are to appease financial benchmarks. As for the 🎧 - the biggest draw is the connectivity to home theater but I’m really curious on how often people would use them that way. Again, that $450 price tag - yikes! If they were $299, it would be a no brainer purchase.
@@HiFiBrotherslooks like another update reaction?
@@larryraigrodski5381 coming soon - can't keep up with Sonos nowadays haha
Since the upload - looks like the new App update 80.03.06 (iOS) and 80.03.03 (Android) now adds: ▪️ Numbers to the volume slider ▪️ Mute button icon ▪️ Support for SonosNet channel selection ▪️ Stereo/mono configuration for Amp or Port Our collective voices are being heard! 💪 Please share your experience(s) or anything else we may have missed in the comments.
Biggest takeaway is the fact that you always need to click “Your System” to toggle between zones. Annoying!!
Solid Scene!
The Marantz 8805 is a beast of a sound processor! Hard to get rid of for sure!!
Whats your thoughts on the sonos headphones? Overpriced?
Initial thoughts, yes. Especially on what else is out there plus they don’t really offer anything differently than Sony, Bose and/or Apple. Wish they kind of patched into the Sonos ecosystem as seamlessly as it could like all their speakers but they don’t.
@@HiFiBrothersif i may also ask if you updated the sonos app. I know that was a huge overhaul that caused huge controversy. Whats your opinion?
Just posted a video on this exact topic! Post your thoughts on there, would love to hear it!
could I hook Descend DN8 to my vintage receiver?
Most likely not because it only has dedicated RCA and LFE output. Most vintage receivers don’t offer a dedicated sub out - you would need a subwoofer that has speaker wire line inputs/outputs.
Is the U76 the same as U7K?
Not exactly but it’s still close enough to that line than their others
Subbed - im here looking for Amp type info. BuckEye has been on my short list for 2 years.
thanks. very usefull
I have the TCL 98" Class XL Collection 4K UHD QLED & was going to sell it & get this instead but wonder if the Hisense is worth it.
We probably wouldn’t recommend it, because they are both on par with each other.
Rca to xlr -6db ?
I would say -3dB but your not getting a true ground when using XLR to RCA.
is it 4k and how many hertz?
Yes, it’s 4k @ 144
OLED TV’s are superior to any other kind of TV’s ❤
Do you have a link for what you use to raise your center?
Honestly forgot, but it was off Amazon. Just check “speaker cushion pads”
This tv sucks.. processor sucks .. and very laggy.. theres a reason sony is 7 grand and this is 2 grand.. quality
No argument there but not everyone can afford a $7k TV - that’s the underlying issue
Bro TCL 2024 QM8 is already pooping on Sony when it comes to led tvs. Sony probably = vizio now days
@@alanclark9000 to me this TV is good if your just watching movies.. again maybe I just got a bad panel.. upscaling watching cable sucked.. watching movies was an out of body experience🤣.. for 2 grand it was good.. but for 2 grand I was happier with the 85 inch sony x90.. it does everything right that I need a TV to do ( I also I don't game) .. I will get a 100 inch when they replace the 85s and the norm.. glad everyone is happy with the u76n
Dse???
Dirty Screen Effect
Love the content! Keep it coming 🎉
I have an old school pioneer 8 track player/receiver(“old school, duh) it’s below the new AVR I use to power the system for my desktop where the printer would go. It’s got the signal sweeps too. I turn it on when I am at my computer and there is not a single speaker hooked up to it because I like the way it looks and that’s perfectly fine. Stop second guessing yourself
Yeah, I tried but at the end. I’d rather someone like you appreciate these products for what they are, not what they can do. My loss is your gain. Cool 8-Track tho! 💪
Very good subs, especially if you need the space for other components
How may I get this amazing surbwofer on uk market please share the link below
Contact them directly 😀
Viewing angles? how are they
As mentioned in the video, it’s not that great. After about 15* from center, you really start your notice degradation.
I just bought the OSD Trevoce 12" for $285 with the 5% off email code. Free Shipping was 2 days via UPS. I was about to buy the Definitive DN10 when it was $549 last month but price got jacked up to $800. The DN12 is the real sub at 65 Pounds while OSD is 43 Pounds. Also the Amplifier is way more power and quality with Definitive. But you want to pay $299 OR $1,200 is the question. The Trevoce 15's is $499 with 1,000 watts RMS and 98 pounds box. That's what i really wanted but i have next door neighbors.
Appreciate your comments. If interested in purchasing any of these products, please check the link in the video description.
Should I upgrade my Hisense 100 inch U8k to the u76?
Keep the U8!
That would be a downgrade
Is the U76 the same as U7K? I'm getting a 100 inch u7k, wanted to know if it's the same 🙏🏾
They’re about the same - U7k may be a slight edge better but not much
What about clarity and trebles of sound. Folks usually talk about bass but the highs are also important. I bought the Prime Wireless Pro but I will be returning them due to the lack of trebles. When listening quietly you can hardly hear the cymbals which is a bit of a shame....bass is excellent in deed. Any recommendation what instead of them?
You may want to look at the regular SVS Prime or Ultra Bookshelves. Obtain a separate receiver to power them, which will give you much more control of the overall sound.
No one explains what the height audio even does
It controls the volume for the upward firing drivers, which are only triggered when watching Dolby Atmos content. Thought it was clear but I guess not enough. Hope that helps to explain.
any chance you would like to sell that Trevoce 10?
Not at this time but appreciate you asking.
