But you need a lot of bandwidth for a 4K picture and lossless 5.1 sound (let alone a full 7.2.4 Atmos setup). A lot of providers still don't provide it, and I bet won't for quite awhile. A lot of people still don't have fast enough internet for it either, and also may not for a long time.

Some people will always care about getting a top-notch entertainment experience.

I still look at hi-fi gear all the time, and occasionally buy things, like a new sub and nice bookshelf speakers I bought early in April.

Also, yeah Pioneer is totally out of the Home Stereo business ... that's why I can buy this $3000 Pioneer Home Theater Receiver with all the latest technology right now ... https://www.newegg.com/pioneer-sc-lx904-receiver/p/0MJ-000T-000E0
