Questions / Opinions on Proposed setup


Recommended Posts

want a setup for my 60a3000 HDTV, i run Blu-Ray through a PS3, and HDDVD through the 360 each connecting via HDMI ( the 360 is mainly for games )

would like a 5.1 setup with Wireless Back/Sub ( wanting to put the Sub behind/near the futon if posable ).

saw a Onkyo HTRC160 Home Theater Bundle with Paradigm Speakers setup on Amazon, what are your opinions on this. or do you have other systems that would be better

id say budget for whole setup is about $2K US

because it would be out of the way, and any bass would be felt more due to positioning in theory

Felt as in, my chair shakes?

Sub positioning is tricky. You can't just put it anywhere and think you're all set up because you have a sub. You may get the worst response possible putting it where you think you want it.

You would be better off putting the sub near a wall surface, preferably in the corner. Having a sub is about making it work correctly with your main loudspeakers, not creating a rumble-seat. I dont' know if I'd go the wireless route though, its pretty easy to run/hide the requisite cables. If anything, just go wireless for the surrounds.

I'm partial to Klipsch or Definitive myself at that price point but the Paradigms are a nice set.

not for a "Rumble Seat Effect" per say, just didnt think it would be heard over the satellites far away. only sub i have is for my computer ( Klipsch 4.2 , old set ) and its under the desk

and im partial to Klipsch myself

but about the HTRC160, CNet gave it good reviews, but looking for other opinions

    • So its a museum of AI prompts? Boring
    • This one baffles me...so they are creating a museum based around the Ship of Theseus? A museum is supposed to preserve things. It doesn't really work if the conversation goes, "I gazed upon Starry Night the other day, the colours were beautiful!" "Yeah...I didn't expect Godzilla to show up, though." Create a building devoted to displaying AI work, fine. The rainforest idea sounds interesting and I would consider visiting if they pay me a few bucks. But don't call it a museum...
    • >defenders of AI-generated artworks often claim that AI is just a tool It is not. It is the inhuman artist replacement. The human writing the prompt is the employer/manager requesting the work product of the artist -- a supervisory/descriptive job that doesn't carry with it any rights to the copyright of that work product at all. And since AI is not human itself, it can't gain copyright for anything it is asked to regurgitate or hallucinate, so it can't transfer that copyright to the employer/manager/human who asked for the output. This was all legally reaffirmed last year. So, no, while there are AI tools, AI slopware generation is NOT a "tool" in the legal definition of that word.

    • Google is opening the world's first AI museum in Los Angeles by Ivan Jenic Image via: Google Ever since AI image generators went mainstream, the debate over whether AI-generated art is real art hasn't let up. Those who don’t consider AI to be art say that if a machine does the creating and anyone can prompt it, there’s no skill involved, and therefore no art is produced. The counter-argument is equally persistent, as defenders of AI-generated artworks often claim that AI is just a tool, and that every major technological breakthrough, like the camera or the computer, was met with the same skepticism before eventually being accepted as a legitimate creative medium. Google’s position in this debate is clear. Which is no surprise, as the company is investing billions in AI infrastructure. And now, in efforts to encourage people to use its AI even more, Google is opening Dataland on June 20, which it's calling the world's first AI arts museum. Located inside The Grand LA, a Frank Gehry-designed building in Los Angeles, the museum spans 25,000 square feet. The museum is built around a collaboration with media artist Refik Anadol, who has worked with Google since 2016. The inaugural exhibition is called Machine Dreams: Rainforest, and is powered by an AI model trained on “an extensive dataset of the natural world.” It generates 1.2 billion pixels of visuals in real time and reacts to visitors dynamically. The space also generates soundscapes, real-time emotion sensing, and algorithmically produced scents. Image via: Refik Anadol Studio / Google Google says that the museum is powered by its Gemini models, which run on Google Cloud. So, everything is generated inside one of Google’s AI data centers and is streamed to the museum. Alongside the museum opening, Google Arts & Culture is funding an AI Artist Residency, giving four artists $25,000 grants each, along with mentorship from Refik Anadol Studio and access to Google's machine learning tools. Their work will be shown at Dataland and on the Google Arts & Culture website later this year. Google’s AI museum will undoubtedly initiate a fired-up debate on social media, and we can’t wait to see the first reactions. Via: Smithsonian Magazine
