Home Cinema Choice Magazine - August 2023 Back Issue

Home Cinema Choice Magazine August 2023 Back Issue

English

Our cover stars this issue are flatscreens from Philips and TCL – one an OLED, the other an LED-lit model, both promising to offer a high-level performance for a wallet-friendly price. We give our verdict on these bigscreen bargains.

Also on the test bench this issue is Onkyo’s TX-RZ50 receiver, a nine-channel power-house with Dirac Live calibration and THX certification. We also run the rule over the Bar 1300, JBL’s flagship soundbar system; Emotiva’s MC1 13-channel processor; REL’s new HT/1205 MkII mid-range home cinema subwoofer; The Nines active speakers from Klipsch; Xgimi’s MoGo 2 Pro portable projector; Acoustic Energy AE105 on-wall speakers; and more. Whatever your budget, we’ve got you covered!

On the software side, we check out new Blu-ray, 4K and streaming releases including John Wick: Chapter 4, Extraction 2 and Shazam! Fury of the Gods. We also remember when Hollywood went big on sword-and-sorcery in the 1980s, and look back at Bruce Lee’s classic martial arts movies, now remastered in 4K.

Elsewhere, we get a guided tour of a reader’s loft-based home cinema, chat infrasonic bass with subwoofer specialist Ascendo, report from Munich’s High End audio show, and wonder whether Apple’s Vision Pro might just be the future of home cinema…

Plus all the usual opinions, news, disc reviews and competitions. Enjoy the show!
