Set the mood in your home via music with these Klipsch speakers. The wood-grain vinyl exterior imparts a touch of sophisticated elegance to a room, while the Tractrix Horn technology provides clear, vibrant and rich musical tones. The titanium tweeter on these Klipsch speakers dampens high-frequencies to facilitate crisp, natural sound.

Very solid speaker for a very solid price.

Verified Purchase:Yes
I got these to upgrade my front speakers on my Atmos 5.1.2 setup, to accommodate a turntable I bought. They were definitely an effective upgrade for that, namely since they also have a sub.
I think these are probably the best bang for the buck, for a multipurpose setup, at the moment. I imagine the jump to Premium would probably be for people with specific use cases and results in mind.

Beautiful Special Edition
on January 27, 2023
Posted by: NBMTX
Verified Purchase:Yes
Honestly a great value for everything it has. Art books tend to be pretty price, even for books smaller than this. In this case you also get a nice steelbook and a good looking poster which you can leave in the box forever (but in all honestly, would look nice on a wall, too). Even the inner packaging was nice looking, with little sprite art on it.

Great M83 vinyl.
on December 9, 2022
Posted by: NBMTX
Verified Purchase:Yes
Probably my favorite M83 album, despite being the most unusual of them. Definitely a great album to have on vinyl. Sets a nice soundscape!
(I did have one arrive damaged. Not sure if from shipping or it's pressing. Seemed like it might've been at the lathe. So I'm mentioning it, just in case).

5/5 FromSoft game. Proceed with caution.
on March 4, 2022
Posted by: NBMTX
Verified Purchase:Yes
It's a 10/10 game, so long as you know what you're getting into.
As per usual with FromSoft, the gameplay is there and top notch, as is the lore... but the storytelling itself is pretty suboptimal. By this I mean that even if you use a guide, by which I mean 50 guides, for all the narrative threads available, you're STILL going to have a hard time keeping track of them.
I legitimately don't know how anyone completed any of those NPC quests. The steps to progress most of them are beyond obtuse.
I guess you could say they're very throwback, like to the days where GameStop would sell you Strategy Guides instead of season passes or whatever DLC.
Also, I've always found From's games to be more grindy than "challenging" (except for Sekiro which isn't an RPG), but Elden Ring takes it to the next level. Someone told me "it's not grinding, it's exploring", but that's just masking the grind. If you try to "not-explore" that big open world, you're going to have a bad time. At best, you'll wind up spending hours against every boss you encounter... so you ought as well grind that open world and enjoy it.
The game is huge.
I'm saying it's a 10/10, but your results may vary. It's a 10/10 for what it sets out to be.
I strongly recommend the Xbox version in offline mode, so you have Quick Resume and don't have a bunch of messages spoiling everything, everywhere.
I wonder if From has DLC planned for this, because it's insanely beefy.

My first dedicated Xbox. It's been fantastic.

Verified Purchase:Yes
This is my first dedicated Xbox, and it's been fantastic.
I've had it for 14 months. I bought it for Game Pass, but has been used for basically everything now. If something supports Quick Resume, I'll probably buy it for Xbox now. Or Atmos. Or if I have Microsoft Rewards available, and so on.
Smart Delivery is effortless and handy.
I also bought myself a Design Lab controller that I'm super fond of.
All in all, it was a great time to jump into the platform.

Gorgeous Steelbook for a new sci-fi classic!
on January 11, 2022
Posted by: NBMTX
Verified Purchase:Yes
Arrived unharmed and complete. It was shipped in a box, with some air things. (I've previously had two steelbooks arrive dented after being shipped in soft mail envelops.)
Anyway, great art for this steelbook. Looks absolutely beautiful, and the sound quality is fantastic.
Hopefully there's a bunch of inventory in a warehouse, or being printed, for all those currently trying to get their copy.
Also, I'm envious of the Euro steelbook, which is blue and has the Spacing Guild on it.

After nearly three decades of whizzing across the videogame landscape, the spiny speedster streaks onto the big screen in this engaging mix of live action and animation. Having breached the barrier into our universe-specifically, small-town Montana-Sonic (voiced by Ben Schwartz) gets the help of a sympathetic cop (James Marsden) in outrunning the pursuing feds and their hired gun, crackpot scientist Dr. Ivo Robotnik (Jim Carrey). Tika Sumpter, Adam Pally, Neal McDonough also star. 100 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack English. Two-disc set.

Great adaptation.

Verified Purchase:Yes
Talk about a comeback! This movie is a great romp, and it's hard to believe it had such a controversial reveal, way back. This movie looks good, and sounds good, too! Hope you've got Atmos.
I like Carrey as Robotnik and the humor throughout was really enjoyable. Right from the start, too.
Looking forward to the upcoming sequel, too. (At the time of writing this).

In a world where Brooklyn teen Miles Morales (voiced by Shameik Moore) got that fateful radioactive spider bite-and the mantle of Spider-Man-the use of a particle accelerator by the Kingpin (Liev Schreiber) is causing existence to fissure. As alternate-dimension Spideys like Peter Parker (Jake Johnson), Gwen Stacy (Hailee Steinfeld), Spider-Man Noir (Nicolas Cage), and Spider-Ham (John Mulaney) pile into his reality, can they help Miles undo the chaos? Oscar-winning animated effort also stars the voices of Mahershala Ali, Brian Tyree Henry. 117 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack English.

Consider me a Spider-Verse fan, now.

Verified Purchase:Yes
I'm not actually a huge Spider-Man fan, but I'll absolutely call myself a Spider-Verse fan, now. There's a reason this movie won an Academy Award.
It's dripping with swagger and will make your 4k HDR experience shine. And it even sounds good! Plus it's soundtrack is awesome, too.

One Christmas in Camelot, the revels were interrupted by a hulking, emerald-skinned knight (Ralph Ineson), who dared anyone present to lay a blow on him... as long as he got to strike back a year later. The king's impetuous nephew Gawain (Dev Patel) met the challenge-and after the intruder improbably survived, faced a fateful journey to meet his end of the bargain. David Lowery's stylish, subversive take on the Arthurian tale co-stars Alicia Vikander, Joel Edgerton, Sean Harris. 130 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack English. Two-disc set.

Feels like a classic.

Super unique movie. Probably not for everyone as it's not really an action romp, but it does a great job of feeling like a medieval tale... perhaps cautionary? Anyway, It's incredibly atmospheric and/or dreamy.

My favorite MCU movie.
on December 18, 2021

Verified Purchase:Yes
My favorite MCU movie so far. Love the fantastical nature of the effects, that confidently break from realism. This is actually the only MCU movie I own on blu ray.
Also, I like Tilda as the Ancient One/Sorcerer Supreme.

Vizio's website claims that M21d-H8R supports Dolby Atmos and DTS:X. Is this correct?

No, just Virtual X. I think the Atmos banner is meant for the M Series line, which includes a beefier soundbar that's coming out later.

Virtual X does a pretty decent job simulating a wider soundstage across all content, but it doesn't simulate a surround effect and it lacks the degree of precision of dedicated Atmos content, IMO.
