I liked The Queen's Gambit - yes it was predictable (although I wasn't sure as who would win in the end) but the ride along the way was enjoyable. The Midnight Sky was a very poor adaption from the book and I am not sure why they made the changes they did. I am enjoying The Detectorists at the moment. Besides a quaint storyline the picture quality is great.

Watched this last series via streaming. The story line has a good premise however I don't think they succeeded in the detail or nuances. Bit like the last season of GOT - a disappointment IMHO.

LOL - that would have been excusable but it was unfortunately at a Hoyts Extremescreen session.

I found the dialogue muffled/unclear/muted in many parts, making it hard to follow the story line. Otherwise I enjoyed it despite a number of plot holes.

Another impressive restomod (albeit it would want to be for the price).

King Living Cloud III Seats
lucmor444 replied to Marc's topic in Room Acoustics, Construction and Design
I've been eyeing off that seating option too - while I can't comment on their longer term comfort I like the fact that the headrests can remain lowered (so they do not block the sound from the rear speakers). I did however note that on the display stock in the store I visited the recline mechanism on one seat was broken. Hopefully this was an aberration and not reflective of quality issues. -
Sounds like spin to me - albeit probably appropriate up to a certain HP.

This looks good (front bumper is better plus all the other goodies): https://www.carscoops.com/2020/10/2021-vw-golf-gti-clubsport-announced-with-296-hp-and-a-trick-new-diff/

If you enjoy driving a car with good dynamics and delivers thrills I would suggest not getting fixated on how a car may be labelled and focus on what it delivers.

Now don't go giving the MX-5 a hard time:) https://www.roadandtrack.com/reviews/a34192817/miata-better-than-s2000-review/

9 speakers with 7.1 AV receiver?
lucmor444 replied to chunjun's topic in AV Receivers, Multi-channel Amps & Processors
If upgrading check that the receiver can power the additional 2 channels as a separate zone to the main 7 channels (ie they can be run a L&R channels in the 2nd zone and are not restricted in only being a surround channel pair in the main zone). -
The Autocal function was excellent but obviously you need to incur the additional costs of the software and a quality meter. I am still thinking of a Radiance Pro myself (I am starting to keep an eye out for second hand units) and if I go down that path will spend a lot more time to better understand the unit. Kudos to Lumagen for being an industry stayer and a manufacturer committed to firmware updates to fix problems and add features. This history/service should give confidence to buyers.

I had a similar experience to blonk - having used a couple of the older Lumagen series with the main functionality I appreciated was the autocal feature. I found the user interface of the Lumagen clunky and too complicated for me. I also never utilised it's full capabilities and would have appreciated access to local expertise. I guess, in knowing it's market, Lumagen devotes it development costs to hardware over any improvements to a user interface that is now decades old.

Granted the Yaris is a smaller class than cars such as the Megane, Golf et al the additional engineering appears to be a step above most of them> If you can get $10K off the performance pack version that would make it a great car at a competitive price. (albeit probably not a DD for a person with a family - something I don't think it is marketed to:)).
