I've been trying to find the best video player for anime (and general movies) for a while now but there's nothing out there that's any good.

I'm looking for

  • Framerate matching within the app
  • Stylised subtitle support
  • Good interface
  • 4K HDR movie support (minor)

These are what I've tried:

VLC:

It's a good video player for desktop uses but on AndroidTV it falls flat. Subtitle framedrop is such a deal breaker that I

My living room is 15 x 14 x 7.5 ft. I'm in the UK. My AVR is the Arcam AVR550 and it comes with Dirac Live.

I have an SVS PB12 Plus/2 but I'm getting a lot of bass in the corners of my room and not much in the middle. I have a corner with enough space for another smaller subwoofer, around a single 10"-12". I'm thinking of adding a used Wharfdale Diamond SW-150 or similar, anything cheap, really, as a second sub.

Should I do this or should I go for room acoustics? I already have curtains, couches, and the room is fully furnished and carpeted with a rug on top. Bass traps can only be placed on the wall due to how small my room is. No corner traps for me.

Is it crucial to get a matching sub

I have a few "improvement" ideas going on with my home theatre setup.

One of them being the centre speaker.

I have a pair of B&W 603 S2 Anniversary for L/R channels and a HTM6 S2 as a centre speaker.

Seeing that my centre speaker is a "non-ideal" MTM design, I was looking to replace it, but why should this matter if I'm the only one listening at the main listening position?

Since I'm slightly on a budget and don't want to spend any money, my plan was to buy a pair of KEF Q350 for £299, sell one speaker, and sell the HTM6 S2 for a net "profit".

Would the KEF Q350 give an improvement in clarity anyway, or should I learn to appreciate what I already have?

With the SVS PB12 Plus/2 subwoofer upgrade I recently made, if I ever decide to keep it I'll have to look into repair options and longevity costs given it's a pretty old sub at this point. I don't know when this was first bought, but given it was released in 2006 I'll assume the worst.

I contacted SVS and they gave me a few options:

  1. They have no spare BASH amps anymore, but it might be possible to get the amp fixed by a local shop.

  2. Buy a new SLEDGE amp from them ($400) and make it fit with some woodworking since they're a different size from the BASH amps. At least the new amp will come with adapters so that it should work with the old drivers.

Either way, I'll have to remove the

I live in the UK.

LCR: B&W 603 S2 Anniversary Edition + HMT6

Surrounds: Eltax Monitor III + ELAC Debut 2.0 Atmos Upfiring speakers

Subwoofer: B&W ASW610XP 10" 500W sealed box.

My room is: 14 x 15 x 7.5 ft = 1,575 cbft

I'm finding that I don't hear the subwoofer in my listening position (middle) as much as if I were to sit on the left or right side of the sofa. I have the system calibrated with Dirac with boosted bass according to Harman house curve (basically +6dB in the low regions).

My room is in the small-medium size range and I don't mind a subwoofer upgrade. I can sell the ASW610XP for about £500 and maybe pickup a Monolith Plus (£670) from BK Electronics instead. I don't want to
