On Reddit we have r/dvdcollection, r/boutiquebluray, r/4kbluray, r/steelbook, r/vhs, etc but let's start simply with a community to cover all the forms of home video collecting.

So, do you feel nostalgic for a format? Are you looking forward to a release? Heard any exciting news? Want to show us your shelves? Then post away.

I built a Home Theatre for the Price of a Soundbar, and it SLAPS! (www.youtube.com)

People still continue to buy the Bose TV Speaker even after we made a dedicated video on it…. To get you to stop, we took to facebook marketplace and gave ourselves the SAME budget and managed to buy a 5.1 surround sound setup with dedicated receivers!

Considering this is the home video section, I thought this would apply to this community. Reminds me of when I had my tiny dirt cheap 5.1 system, which sounded great to me. Especially when playing Bad Company 2 on my Xbox360.

I took a road less traveled and use studio monitors for my TV. You can get 4-5” options for around $200-250 and at that price, they pack a punch. I’ve since upgraded to HS-8s , which admittedly are much more expensive, but for most, are complete overkill.

Most things I watch are only stereo anyway and having used a 5.1 in the past, surround is ultimately novelty for me.
