    NEWS: Price Increase Coming July 1st.

    Show me one "common" man that has 48 speakers in his theater. I know for a fact that Steven Spielberg doesn't have that in his home either. Some have money to burn and, burn it! Most of us have families and wives that would look at us cross-eyed to impose our will so much on their space (it...

    NEWS: Price Increase Coming July 1st.

    K has always been mostly a consumer product. So they have to adapt to consumer ways or be left behind. Today’s “average” consumer just isn’t going to spend $18k on a streaming device. Especially when they have to turn around and buy the media they want to see on it. C’mon K think!! If the...

    NEWS: Price Increase Coming July 1st.

    Opinion is one thing. Details is another. https://pcpartpicker.com/products/pricedrop/ These are the direct to consumer prices. Commercial prices and in bulk prices are quite a bit less. This is just one of about 45 free and paid metrics in this industry that can be used to determine...

    NEWS: Price Increase Coming July 1st.

    When I see price increases like this I chalk them up to simple greed. Supporting servers and PC’s in our enterprise (over a million endpoints), the cost just isn’t going up on these type components. With an annual budget $15M in our budget for refreshed systems and their various components...

    NEWS: Price Increase on Some Components

    This is sure to spur a lot of sales Jim. The “PC” parts everyone else is using keep getting cheaper. The easy manufacturing of these boards and parts is even more available now. It’s just my opinion. But with NetFlix, Apple TV, Roku, Hulu and Amazon Prime and others all streaming quality...

    Disc no longer recognized

    Disconnect from the internet, import them manually, enter all meta data yourself. Eventually K will catch up and add it to the catalog. Why be hindered while waiting though? I’m not! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Why is there no communication from Kaleidescape?

    When you purchase you don’t purchase directly from K; you purchase from a dealer. Accordingly, your communication should be from your dealer. (At least i think that is their thinking). Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    QUESTION for Premiere Owners

    My issue with them offering an upgrade plan is that when companies do this, at times, it signals the end of support for previous products. I know K has put a tremendous amount of time, effort and money into the Premiere line and I know they would not make a decision like that lightly. But...

    Wired whole home audio system

    I'd recommend Crestron. Crestron has a Sonnex® Multiroom Audio System (SWAMP-24X8) that I've had installed in my home. Its a fully-scalable audio distribution system that delivers high-output audiophile sound quality to every room with reduced cabling, low power consumption, advanced DSP. The...

    New Premire server announced!!

    Is that upcharge really based on the drive size or the HW and K developed technology that uses that drive? Prices for drives have dropped significantly over the years. So, my assumption would be that the upcharge is more K charging for THEIR HW than the drive. Just my opinion though.
