Victor Pavy sent in the shortest listener question we've ever received! He wants to know Scott Wilkinson's opinion of the new Dolby Vision 2 HDR format, which was just announced at the IFA 2025 trade show. Scott was going to talk about anyway, because it's an important upgrade to the already-best HDR format.

Terrence Huntington, who composed the theme music for Home Theater Geeks, built his own home theater in the basement of his house way back in 2014. The space was very limited, but he made the most of it with a killer system. He called it the Duck and Cover Theater because it was barely big enough to stand up in, but once you were seated and the lights went down, it was movie magic.

This year's CEDIA (Custom Electronics Design and Installation Association) Expo was chock full of interesting audio and video products, though very few made their world debut at the show.
