Bill Thanks. That's pretty much what I had in mind. Prices are quite the same when it comes to audio equipment between the US and Dubai. Only issue is that the market for speakers is not very big here unlike the US. I might have an issue finding a buyer. Audiophiles are hard to come by in Dubai.

CHASLS2 Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 I sold my whole set for $1500 years back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A ballpark price is fine. Umm....If I were you I would keep those in place and upgrade everything else! Insofar as DVD's are concerned, I do have a 4K HDR setup but still primarily listen to DVD-As/SACDs and have a ton of concert videos on DVD that I enjoy and don't miss the video upgrade because the music is so good.

T2K Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 I'm not into the latest-greatest of anything but I did buy the wife a 49" Sony XBR 4K HDR Hemorrhoid TV a few months ago and to give 4K its due it is much brighter and more colorful than my 3-4 year old 60" Vizio smart TV, which ain't no slouch itself. We have cable and just cancelled Netflix, I prefer to rent BR discs from Redbox on occasion personally. I'm not sure 4K is worth chunking a perfectly good 1080P TV for but 4K does upscale well and prices are down. While watching college football on the 4K set I have noticed that watching the Crimson Tide kicking everyone else's a$$ seems to be just a little more enjoyable.

Glad to see you have something productive taking up your time--I watch live webcams of favorite spots and then take virtual trips on YouTube visiting those same places. Gotta admit I've found that I've rustled some feathers in the old place but discussions with you have always been enjoyable and entertaining. I hope you are well.

I don't really watch much regular TV, prefer a good movie instead. I'm like Jeff in that I don't really feel that the country is as screwed up as it seems sometimes. But I am concerned for others for some reason. I don't know why. Maybe it's a deep seated belief or the interpretation of a book I once read. Who knows. I do miss the old BS section. I don't do much business here anymore. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True. Another option that I am looking at (and one that probably makes more sense) is to upgrade the TV, processor, amp, and disc player. Thinking of the following: TV: Sony KD-55X9300E (55") 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray player: OPPO UDP-203 Processor: Anthem AVM 60 Amplifier: Parasound Halo A 51 I'll keep the current speakers and the subwoofer. Not only will I upgrade the video part but the audio part as well since I'll be getting separates this time around. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators dtel Posted October 23, 2017 Moderators Share Posted October 23, 2017 Blu-ray and DVD's, 65" 4K Tv but never tried anything 4K, but it does upconvert for a better picture and does seem to help. 6.1 and no intention to improve anything in sight, for now. To us the picture looks great especially in BR, and the sound is amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators dtel Posted October 24, 2017 Moderators Share Posted October 24, 2017 You're probably right, was looking at 4K players the other day, all these changes are getting tiring. I don't buy movies just a concert disc on occasion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmc15john Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 I've been waiting on 4k since it came out. I'm still hoping the settle this HDR war soon. Once they have enough content in 4k out I'll upgrade. But my 60" Panasonic Plasma still looks great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJkizak Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 All my DVD's are 1080 and Crossroads are the kind of DVD's that I watch and hardly view any movies. I shut off the side and rear speakers also. So if I went to 4K I would have to junk everything and start over. They don't have any affordable 21 x 9 TV's so I am in a static mode.
