Steven Spielberg's WWII epic has been hailed as a senses-shattering, realistic depiction of war, telling the emotional story of a no-nonsense U.S. Army captain (Tom Hanks), who, after facing the horrors of Omaha Beach on D-Day, receives orders to lead his troops on a search somewhere in Normandy for Private James Ryan, a lost paratrooper whose three brothers had been killed in combat. Also stars Edward Burns, Tom Sizemore, Barry Pepper, Vin Diesel, and Matt Damon as Ryan. 169 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack English.

So far works great. No bugs or glitches. Pushes my KEF LS50s, KEF Q250C, and KEF R400B sub with no issues. Picture looks great. This was the highest rated and recommended receiver for its price by audioholics and other reviewers.

Mel Brooks flings an arrow at the Robin Hood epics of Kevin Costner and Errol Flynn and hits a bull's-eye in the ha-ha department. Cary Elwes is the fearless hero who battles the evil Sheriff of Rottingham (Roger Rees) for the future of England and the hand of Maid Marian (Amy Yasbeck). Richard Lewis, Dom DeLuise, Tracey Ullman, and Dave Chappelle (his film debut) co-star. 104 min. Widescreen; Soundtracks English DTS HD 5.1 Master Audio, Dolby Digital Surround, Spanish Dolby Digital Surround, French Dolby Digital Surround; Subtitles English (SDH), Spanish; audio commentary; featurettes; isolated music score.

It’s a classic
on March 20, 2020
Posted by: Shortbussupastar
Verified Purchase:Yes
It is a classic. What else do you need to say. Every kid should see this. On a side note my wife hit me because I said of course Belle would fall in love with what essentially is a giant dog and asked if she thought his paws smelled like corn chips too.
Buy physical discs. Netflix and other streaming services compress and don’t look as good or sound as good. Plus then you truly own your movies instead of leasing them like Apple and Vudu.

Not a fan
on March 20, 2020
Posted by: Shortbussupastar
Verified Purchase:Yes
It is probably my fault. Audio quest didn’t list the speaker cable gauge in the name or discription on the speaker wire I bought. I bought 16 gauge. The small screws keep coming out of the inside because the wire isn’t thick enough to fill the space. In my defense the these banana plugs feel cheap. They are cheap plastic with cheap screws. Should be around $7 a piece tops.

Enjoy crisp, clear audio with this powerful KEF center channel loudspeaker. Its Uni-Q array of high-frequency, midrange and low-frequency drivers faithfully reproduces every vocal nuance from 64Hz - 28kHz for a natural, authentic listening experience. The closed-box midrange cabinet of this black KEF center channel loudspeaker keeps distortion at bay.

I paired it with my KEF LS50 Special Edition Black bookshelves for my home theater. Sounds really good and blends great with the 5.25” Uni Q drivers. Listened to the Q650C as well. A lot larger but couldn’t really tell a difference in size.

This AudioQuest Irish Red IRED05 cable features a metal-layer noise-dissipation system to help reduce RF and EMI noise. The 0.5% silver-plated copper and nitrogen-injected insulation ensure signal clarity for crisp, high-quality audio.

I replaced my insignia cables with this. Not saying they aren’t good but I bought an audiophile dual sub enclosure subwoofer so I figured I needed audiophile cables.

Great movies. Thought Jurassic World, like the Force Awakens, was too much like the original. Maybe trying to copy the originals success. But I did like Jurassic World Fallen Kingdom a lot.

Take my money Kef. It is a dream come true. Integrated dac + amp. Floorstanding slim body design. It is a simple statement piece to impress.

Install a large, powerful subwoofer system in tight spaces with this ultrathin 8-inch KEF subwoofer. It needs less than 2.375 inches of mounting depth for ceiling or wall locations, and it operates in passive mode or with power from a compatible amplifier. This KEF subwoofer has a paintable ultrathin bezel and a magnetic grille for discreet installation.
 

Does this subwoofer need a separate amplifier to be powered or can it be powered when connected to a receiver?

Yes. Passive means it needs an external amplifier

JBL HDI3800 Triple 8-inch 2-1/2 way Floorstanding Loudspeaker with 1" compression tweeter
 

What receiver or amplifier do you recommend for a set of these speakers? I would like to use them in a 5.1 home theater. Thank You.

I’ve used them with a Denon 3600 with Audiocontrol G4 amp and Arcam PA720. I preferred the G4 amp because it had more power. I just tried them with a JBL SDR 35 and it’s the best they have sounded so far. Late but hopefully helpful.

AudioQuest's Flat Series speaker cable is built around a Semi-Solid Concentric design. While this is not as transparent as AudioQuest's Solid-Core Conductors, Semi-Solid wire is significantly more resolved than conventional stranded bundle wire.
 

Would these speaker wires be a good pair for KEF LS50 meta and Hegel H190?

I haven’t used this one with my LS50s but I use it with my rear Q150s in my home theater. I use Rocket 88s with my LS50s and Arcam SA20. John Darko uses Rocket 88s with his metas and his Hegel 590. The 88s are expensive but if you could swing the Rocket 44s those would probably be great.
