Thanks for the tip guys.

Order Confirmation

Slyva and How We Roll $45.92 for both.

Arriving: Thursday, December 26 - Friday, December 27

My two Atmos copies arrived yesterday. I popped them in the player and listened/watched.
Umm, not that good musically and the height speakers are hit and miss. For me, I can of course see how others would like a lot, my point is not to disagree with anyone's personal favorites.
Yes, great sonics, fidelity wise.
I preferred How We Roll over Sylva.
I have to look deeper but the onscreen graphics for How We Roll a dead ringer for Rush's , one of the last ones, Moving Pictures maybe? The graphic artist might be the same, interesting?

My favorite Atmos of 2024 was Robin Trower's Bridge Of Sighs.
My surprise favorite in 5.1 Jack Bruce-Songs For A Tailor.
My favorite 4.0 was Borboletta.

Liking the music always has to be #1, I can of course appreciate great surround, but must be liked musically.

That said, even though I purchased a ton of surround overall in 2024 it wasn't my greatest year of likes for surround.
I think, I know, I hit the overload button a few times.
This 2025 there are already preorders, but my goal will be to be more selective

A sealed one I finally opened. On first song and the mix sounds really good!

That looks like the Raven that refused to sing.

I prefer Sylva when I can get into the deep jazz groove. When I can, it's bliss.
For more frequent rotation, I listen to How We Roll. I get into the lyrics and perceived intent behind them.

Both to me have most excellent content.

But we likes what we likes, I know I don't stick on one genre exclusively for long, though I confess to binging on some artists often.

Tonight it's Blackfield Live in NYC.
