Are you still making up your mind on what you want?


I'm still saying, Get a better amp/dac & See how you like those 770's then, Before you spend a fuck ton of money.

hnnnng!

How are audio technica ATH-ESW9?
Considering these for portable use

HNNNG those OLED TV blacks:

http://www.hdtvtest.co.uk/news/55ec930v-201412163962.htm


0 cd/m² blacks man.


For decades the most important factor of picture quality has been black levels and contrast, but in the following years when OLED becomes standard... Every single TV on the market will have absolute (0 cd/m²) blacks and infinite contrast Oo

scary thought.

We've already reached the point where calibrators can achieve perfect gamma (2.2/2.4) too and resolution will probably reach its maximum at either 8K or 16K, both right round the corner.


certain professional monitors are also almost dead on the 6500K mark with its colour accuracies.


I wonder what will set TVs a part when every TV has 2.4 gamma, 6500K colours with 0 DeltaE errors, 0 cd/m² blacks, 120cd/m² brightness, 0 ms input lag, 8K (or 16K) resolution and infinite contrast Oh and no thicker than a mm thin sticker that you just plaster on your wall or whatever.

Manufacturers will then have nothing to sell until virtual reality happens

Do you think my current receiver (integra dtr-5.1 - http://www.integrahometheater.com/model.cfm?m=DTR-5.1&class=Receiver&p=i) will be ample enough to power?

It should suffice yeah, but you can't go wrong with a future proof receiver

what would you recommend?
strictly audio receiver, dont need hdmi, multiple zones, etc. im assuming something that can blast out way more than 70w/ch (i think that's what my integra does..) because i think the a9's can handle something ridiculous like 500w/ch

Are you certain that you'll never need those things though? Older receivers actually tend to have better sound than newer ones packed with a million features and limited space for audio capabilities.


An old NAD receiver for instance, amazing price to performance ratio.

But of course you could just see how it all works on your Integra and if you're happy then no need to upgrade ^^

Yeah well dt770 doesnt provide enough bass for my liking. So I need upgrade anyways

I'm gonna keep them for gaming though.

shit, super hard choice. AOC Q2963PM 29" ultrawide, 380$ - LG 34UM65 34" ultrawide, 600$. the 29" seems wide enough, but i can't help but feel that if i'm gonna go this route, i should go as wide as i can. the LG has 5" more and better build quality, but for 220$.
