everything they were discussing about what apple mutes and kaleidescape does not mute people dont go to the movies to hear every distinct sound their reasons and biasness dont justify the ridiculous price for Kaleiscape.what should be muted in this video is them justifying why kaledescape is better.They not catering for the average joe.

He said “When your streaming your not getting Atmos.” 😂😂 and then proceeded to say “It says your getting Atmos, but your not getting Atmos. Such a pathetic and misinforming video. Blu-ray player - $100 and up capable of true hd Atmos 4K AppleTV - $129 to $149 is a steaming device than can deliver Atmos albeit it is compressed (most people wouldn’t even notice. Kaleidescape - not a streaming device, but an overpriced storage device with access to the lossless downloads. Approximately $10,000 or more for complete setup. I don’t have that kind of money to throw down on a luxury item. If I did I would, hell just for bragging rights😂 If I want lossless audio I’ll just buy the Blu-ray, but I’m okay with streaming also and I can tell a difference with my system. But I can buy a hell of a lot of movies with the money saved. Not to mention I can also build a storage system and burn my disks to it for a lot less than the cost for Kaleidescape. If the price comes down to a more reasonable level I will consider it then.

Blind or no blind test Apple TV does not compare. Just on spec alone you can tell that. Apple TV has highly compressed audio and video and requires an internet connection to stream. Kscape you are downloading a lossless file to your personal server that does it require internet connect to play back.

I prefer disc from a quality perspective. Kscape is just as good from my vantage point. That aside, I think disc is all but dead now and steaming will prevail for many reasons. I question the long term viability of Kscape. The fought through financial troubles once prior but now there were limited options back then. Today for many, AppleTV is good enough and it will only get better in time. I also don’t want to have to buy movies again.

In some instances the Kscape downloads are better than disc. I repurchased some movies I own on disc and I can tell in some instances that the picture and color is better along with better audio. A lot of times the mass market disc releases home mixes get highly compressed and since Kscape has some control over the compression of the mezzanine file they can limit the amount of compression that is applied to their files.

@@davonfranklin5158 k scale is not a streamer. It is. They play back lossless movies that are download to your local Kscape server and you can play back on your k scape player. Once they are downloaded you do not need an internet connection. Streamers like Apple TV, Roku and the likes are streamers that require an internet connection and are highly compressed in order to stream the same content to the masses. Even if you buy a movie from say ITunes, you still need an internet connection and you also own a lossy version of the movie

@@brucecarter6205 in some instances the Kscape downloads are better than even disc and probably has to do with the way they implement compression vs disc May be more compressed to fit the extras along with the feature. Kscape is not limited by storage. I have a bunch of movies I own on disc that I repurchase and can tell the difference. The joker was one of them that I really notice better clarity and color saturation. The sound for whatever reason was also more dynamic and open on Kscape even though they were the same Dolby true HD codec. If you don’t own a Kaleidescape then I assume you have not done a side by side or I could be wrong.

I think if you are starting your theater journey to audition towers, and not marry them by going in wall with a little more install effort. However, you were right that if he went in-wall, the acoustic transparent screen would have made sense with a larger screen. VERY hard to light that screen that big though.

I bought this after watching this video and I have to say, it was a disappointment. Some songs it sounded amazing but others it was just awful. Bass is incredible but vocals were muffled and the details in the mid range were weak. I ended up returning it for a Naim Mu-so 2 and IMO is far better than the RS150. However, the RS250 blows the 150 and the Mu-so out of the water, but is also out of my price range. The 150 is a great speaker but didn’t work well for the music I listen to.

We ran out of amplifier to run the theory subs. The system as designed used all channels for speakers.

We have all the power needed for 4 sb15 subs.

The Crossover's are choc full of cheap parts and the cabinet construction is that particle board MDF stuff and their drivers are not using rare earth magnets or anything innovative except a transmission line to boos the low end a bit. Their more expensive speakers usa nice aluminum cabinets but still have junk ball crossover parts like sand cast resistors. It is a shame their HV level electronics are really made much better than the speakers.
