Both JVC and Sony have dropped new projectors that are turning heads, and we’ll dive into the exciting—and pricey—details. Plus, Sound United may be on the chopping block as its parent company faces a financial crossroads, leaving the future of brands like Denon and Marantz hanging in the balance. Ascendo has unleashed a subwoofer that you’ve got to hear about, while Disney has finally listened to physical media collectors by embracing Dolby Vision for future UHD releases, but Disney+ is shutting down sharing accounts. There’s also interesting news coming out of DTS, which is tackling the issue of dialog intelligibility with an AI-driven solution that could change how we hear our favorite shows. And speaking of innovation, we’ll talk about a company that’s bringing low-latency head tracking to Bluetooth headphones for a more immersive sound experience—perfect for Dolby Atmos fans. Last but not least, we’ll take a look at KEF’s new Q Series speakers, packed with technology to make your music and movie sound better than ever, and Klipsch’s Flexus Core 300 soundbar, which might just be the best-sounding Atmos bar to hit the market. Of course we’ve have a lot more to cover, including disc news, so buckle and get ready to dive into the world of AV News. *Forum Links* -For the latest disc reviews, go to: https://www.avnirvana.com/forums/blu-ray-media-reviews.12/ -For the latest news, including stories covered in this episode: https://www.avnirvana.com/forums/av-industry-news.6/ -To see the Top 20 Disc Releases of 2023, go to: https://www.avnirvana.com/threads/holiday-gift-guide-top-20-movie-discs-of-the-year.12847/ *PODCAST LINKS* -Subscribe to the podcast on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/2XZc1WVL7gGazxGLiURw0E Subscribe to the podcast on Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/av-nirvanas-home-theater-news-review-htnr/id1715862636 Please Note: AV Nirvana may make a small commission from affiliate links... thanks for your support!
