I purchased this to elevate my 2 channel listening space. Replacing an older Denon AVR. I'm running two Dev Tech DM80 towers. At low to mid volumes the sound is incredible! Honestly at any volume but I have yet test over a volum of 70 because my meter was reading over 100db.
I know the DM80's lend to the low end but after pulling power from the powered subs the neutral full sound was still amazing! These speakers are bipole the rear speakers really came to life with this receiver. At 4 Ohm the Arcam is pushing 150 watts per channel.
Other units I consider didn't have the output the Arcam has but not having USB input and Bluetooth is a bit disappointing.

This TV is a multimedia giant. The Android OS interface is smooth, fast, and super responsive. I created TV profiles that make parental controls a breeze! The remote has a premium feel though it’s a bit larger than it needs to be. The TV frame itself doesn’t feel cheap at all, and the built-in handles make installation a breeze for two people, even with its size and weight. Image quality? Absolutely stunning. Bright scenes, sports, and cartoons all look incredibly vibrant colors pop without looking over-processed or artificial. I was using a 4K projector in this space, and even at max brightness and color settings, it doesn’t come close to the Hisense 98” QD5. The difference is so dramatic, I’ve already packed up the projector. This TV is now the centerpiece in our loft. A few out-of-the-box tweaks are necessary: There’s noticeable blooming in dark scenes when there are small bright elements on screen. Thankfully, this can be mostly fixed with a few setting adjustments that significantly reduce the issue. Sound-wise, the auto mode is fine for casual TV, but the soundstage feels narrow for movies. Switching to Theater mode brings the audio to life. Boost the subwoofer level a bit and it's honestly enjoyable without a soundbar. That said, a soundbar definitely enhances the experience though I do wish the TV's built-in speakers could work in tandem with external audio gear.

The Definitive Technology Dymension DM80 Flagship Tower Speaker features four 5.25" mid/bass Balanced Double Surround System woofers to produce better midrange detail, custom aluminum oxide tweeters for explicit voice, and 3XR Architecture combining an integrated 12~ subwoofer powered by a GaN FET 400W amplifier and two passive radiators. To get sonorous bass, it has a Patented Intelligent Bass Control that blends subwoofer output with mids and highs. This speaker also has a Patented Linear Response Waveguide that extends off-axis dispersion for total sonic immersion. Fully balanced bipolar arrays of DM80 are adjusted to optimize for room placement and hold a rear-array attenuation switch for near-wall placement. Pair this speaker with the DM30 Center Channel Speaker and connect the integrated DM90 Height Module (sold separately) to it for hyper-realistic overhead effects. Be it onscreen movie drama, melodies of your favorite singers, or hearing the sonic details while gaming, this high-performing speaker envelops you from every angle and transports you inside every scene and song. The consistent sound across Definitive Technology gives you the flexibility to mix and match Dymension, Dymension CI, and Mythos speakers, which can be voice-matched to design a complete home system.

The sound stage is set!

A concert tuned to your liking!
No matter what genres you love, your ears will thank you when listening through the Definitive Technology DM80s. These towers deliver a powerful, immersive soundstage that can go toe-to-toe with bespoke speakers costing far more.
Don’t get me wrong these aren’t a budget buy but for their class, they absolutely hold their own. Two-channel listening is elevated with crystal-clear clarity, rich presence, and a surprisingly deep low end. Live recordings come through with stunning separation, letting you feel every note as if you were right there in the studio.
I’ve got the rear-firing speakers dialed back -6 dB, simply because my listening space isn’t large enough to pull the towers further from the wall. They still produce incredibly balanced sound.
Currently, I’m running them on an older Denon AVR-X1300W rated at 80W per channel at 8 ohms, but since the DM80s are 4-ohm speakers, I’m realistically pushing closer over 120W per channel. These towers can easily handle much more, so I plan to upgrade to a dedicated high-end 2-channel receiver and power amp to unlock their full dynamic range.
That said, it doesn’t take much to get them to reference levels and they do it effortlessly. As they stand now, these two speakers alone can fill my 3,500 sq. ft. home and still have enough power to disturb the neighbors, even without being centralized in the house. I would like to see custom finishes options to make them more appealing to living room esthetics.

A top-of-class IP67 dust- and water-resistance rating means it~s always ready for the road. Willen brings together the iconic Marshall design with a ruggedness that dares you to push its limits.

I love the look and feel of the Marshall speakers. This unit in cream was the perfect gift for my wife's travels. It sounds amazing, though not as loud as some of the competition. It's not another stale looking piece of plastic. It pairs quickly and easily every time. You can fill a room with aconcert like sound maybe not in a very loud way but catch it on sale and enjoy it!

This is a high capacity device is capable of keeping the family entertained during camping trips, tailgating, beach trips, phones charged, lights, speakers, and other items that would drain your car battery or cause you to turn the car on. Living in Tampa, we've been lucky enough to avoid long power outages. For short outages, I've used the output on my EV. Leave it to Milton to prove how important having a high output source is necessary. The ecoflow connected to my EV to offset the power draw from the outlet on my EV allowed me to power multiple high-powered devices. I had a portable AC, fridge, small projector, and Starlink satellite running for days. The price is on the higher end based on comparable units, but the app, options to expand, and warranty are great.

This is a great radio to have, I'm not a prepper but It doesn't hurt to be prepared for inclement weather. Especially living in Florida. The sound is ok for the price I didn't expect much but it gets the job done. Signal strength inside and outside is great. I love that it's solar! You can also charge a device, play MP3's from a USB or SD along with a headphone jack out.

The office printer for a growing business.
on April 17, 2024
Posted by: NotJustAnyDad
For the past few years, I've been thinking about adding a color laser printer to my home office. I’m a seasoned 20-year IT professional with a passion for technology. Having installed numerous ones in commercial spaces, I understand their convenience and efficiency. Choosing the right model from the get-go is crucial. HP, along with maybe one other brand, often comes to mind as my preferred choice.
The exclusion of WIFI makes the HP 4301fdn stands out for printing sensitive documents whether in a large department or a personal office. Despite its multifunctionality, its size is manageable; it's somewhat taller and deeper than some might prefer for home offices, but its overall footprint is comparable to many high capacity personal inkjet printers.
Pros:
- The printer operates quietly. Being just a few feet away, it neither bothers nor distracts me.
- It delivers fast and detailed prints in both color and black & white.
- Scanning is quick and produces sharp details.
- The manual feed easily accommodates legal-sized paper and bond paper without jamming.
- Features a large, responsive, and accurate touchscreen display.
- Produces vibrant photos, though not quite a substitute for a dedicated photo printer.
- Comes with a 250-sheet tray, and there's an optional 550-sheet tray for busier settings.

Cons:
- The absence of Wi-Fi might be a significant drawback for some.
- Its clinical appearance could use a dash of style like the HP Envy lineup (a personal quibble).
- I would have appreciated Wi-Fi as an optional feature rather than it being omitted altogether, though I recognize the security concerns in certain office environments.

In summary, if you're in the market for a dependable printer with a range of features for either a small or large office, the HP LaserJet Pro MFC 4301fdn is an excellent choice.

NotJustAnyDad's Review Comments
The Optoma UHZ45 uses a laser, not a lamp, for superior brightness, crisp, accurate color with an incredible 2,000,000:1 contrast ratio, instant on/off, and a life span of up to 30,000 hours. 4K Ultra HD resolution with 240Hz refresh rate support at 1080p and an ultra-low 4ms response time make the UHZ45 a great choice for cinematic immersion and fast-paced gaming. Setup is fast and flexible, with smart features like four-point geometric correction and adjustment for wall colors. And, for an audio experience to match, take advantage of the eARC support to connect compatible home theater speaker systems.

3 out of 5something seems not right here
By CharlesS
Something seems not right here. This is supposed to be a 4K projector but the company's user's guide specification sections says:
Technology Texas Instrument DMD, 0.47”/1080p UHD HSSI DMD X1, S451
Output resolution 1920 x 1080 (w/o actuator)
Output resolution 1920 x 1080 (w/o actuator)
...which looks like HD, not 4K.
So which is it?

Pixel Shift
July 17, 2023
Most 4k LED and Laser Projectors are actually 1080p projectors that use pixel shift to give the appearance of being 4k.The shift happens so fast that your eyes receive the perception of 4k. With that said some of the actual full 4k projectors that do not use pixel shift tech are sharper thanks to those dedicated pixels but for most people the difference is negligible and not work the additional premium price tag.
