Home Cinema Choice  |  Autumn 2021
In the Autumn issue of Home Cinema Choice:
Canadian audio brand Paradigm is well known for its towering loudspeakers and monster-sized subwoofers, but its new Founder Series LCR models promise a more compact – but still high-performance – home cinema experience. We put them through their paces in our lead review. Also on the test bench is LG’s 75QNED99, the Korean company’s first 8K flatscreen to use Mini LED backlighting technology. We also run the rule over Velodyne’s DB-15 subwoofer; Panasonic’s 48in JZ980 OLED TV; a pair of smart, compact projectors from XGIMI and BenQ; Elipson’s revamped Music Centre amplifier; Sony’s VPL-VW290ES entry-level 4K beamer; Philips Fidelio L3 headphones; 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 Black Widow, Hitman’s Wife’s Bodyguard, Columbia Classics 4K UHD: Volume 2 and a quartet of original Star Trek movies reborn on UHD. We also pick a range of titles that make ideal demo discs for your home cinema, from classic Spielberg to superheroic animation. Elsewhere, we take a tour of a reader’s home cinema; drool over a pair of custom cinema install projects; give away an SVS subwoofer with wireless audio adapter; and reveal why there are some movies we can’t stop watching despite their flaws. Plus all the usual opinions, news, disc reviews and competitions. Enjoy the show!
