I’ve been working on building my home theater and waiting for sales to get speakers this Black Friday. I saw a Klipsch RP 5.0 bundle (2x 8000F, RP-504C II, 2x RP-600M II) on sale at Adorama for $1700. I was mostly ready to order but browsing the sub I had seen many comments pushing people away from Klipsch. I’m not sure what to else consider at a similar price point (say up to $2200), so I wanted to ask for advice about alternatives in that ballpark before I take the leap.

Room is 12’x22’, though the theater area is ~12’x12’.

Current equipment list:

• LG G5 77”
• Onkyo TX-RZ 30
• Monoprice M-15 V2 15” 1000W sub

Thanks!

I closed on my first home last week (after a year of searching, but that’s a different story). I haven’t moved in yet as I’m working with different contractors to get the place ready. I bought a smart radon monitor to get a better idea about it long term, but didn’t expect it to bring up humidity as the real issue. In the past two days humidity in the basement varied between 70-79%! I currently have the AC set to 77 degrees with fans always on but it doesn’t seem to help. I live further away and won’t be moving in until later next month. Previous owner did not have a dehumidifier. Should go ahead and buy one this week? I’m concerned as I won’t be able to be there while it runs, and worried

It’s been nearly 1.5 years since Valve announced 3D Room View. Has anyone noticed any updates since then? In the announcement they claimed it’s being rapidly developed and improvements should be expected, but I can’t say I have noticed any, and passthrough+ on Quest still looks better to my eyes.

On the side, they also said in the same post to expect more experiments in the coming months. I don’t think I have seen any.

I got the LG 34GP83A-B (coming from an older Dell Ultrasharp 27”) and I have been enjoying it so far. Checking my Amex card I saw I had a $100 of offer which is tempting me to at least look into the Alienware AW3821DW. After that and 10% Dell coupon the Alienware comes out to be $1182 vs $800 for the LG.

I’m considering the returning the LG and going with Dell for the native G-Sync module, more vertical resolution, and better build quality and warranty. Cons I can think of include lack of SRGB emulation which is what I am currently using on the LG, reduction from 160 Hz to 144 Hz, and overall reduction in fps going from 3440x1440 to 3840x1600 (RTX 3080 FE). Also, the fact that it cost clos
