Home Cinema Choice Magazine September 2023 Edição anterior

Our cover star this issue is Yamaha’s True X, the Japanese giant’s new range-topping soundbar system that wants to deliver Dolby Atmos immersion without the hassle. Does it have the home cinema X factor? Read our in-depth review.

Also on the test bench is TCL’s C845, the TV brand’s top-flight Mini LED TV that claims a class-leading brightness through its advanced backlight technology. Is this the ultimate bigscreen bargain? We also run the rule over Q Acoustics’ 5010 5.1 speaker package; the D212s subwoofer from Perlisten; BenQ’s W4000i projector; Eversolo’s DMP-A6 hi-res audio streamer; Sony’s seven-channel TA-AN1000 amplifier; stereo powered speakers from ELAC; 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 Dungeons & Dragons: Honour Among Thieves, Evil Dead Rise and Bruce Lee at Golden Harvest. We also pick our favourite spy movies on Blu-ray from Atomic Blonde to xXx, and look back at Steven Spielberg’s debut movie classic Duel, now remastered in 4K.

Elsewhere, we get a guided tour of a reader’s high-end AV den, catch up with Marantz as it celebrates its 70th anniversary, discuss our favourite demo discs and wonder if Hollywood’s addiction to comic book movies is coming to an end…

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