Superhero movies were never the same after 2018. That’s due to the phenomenal critical and commercial success of Ryan Coogler’s Black Panther . No spandex movie before it had quite married the fantastical with social commentary like that movie. And no big-budget comic book movie ever featured a cast with predominantly Black actors as its heroes and villains (sorry, Steel and The Meteor Man ). Contents Where is Black Panther: Wakanda Forever streaming? When does Black Panther: Wakanda Forever stream for subscribers? How much does it cost? Is it worth watching Black Panther: Wakanda Forever? It was always going to be hard for a sequel to measure up, but things got even more complicated, and tragic, with star Chadwick Boseman’s passing in 2020. The beauty of Black Panther: Wakanda Forever is that it’s not just a straightforward sequel or a routine action picture. It’s a moving testament to Boseman’s impact, and what Black Panther meant to the greater … [Read more...] about Where to watch Black Panther: Wakanda Forever | Digital Trends

Klipsch expands its powered speakers with The Sevens and Nines | Digital Trends
Most of the focus on getting better TV sound has been on soundbars , but when Klipsch introduced The Fives in 2020, it reminded us that a really good set of stereo speakers can sometimes be the best solution of all. Apparently, we’re not the only ones who thought so because Klipsch has introduced two new Heritage Wireless models — The Sevens ($1,299) and The Nines ($1,499) — which take the same winning formula from The Fives and add more power for bigger spaces. Both models are available starting January 31 at Klipsch.com, in both ebony and walnut wood finishes. The Sevens and The Nines use the same midcentury modern design as The Fives, with wooden enclosures and removable cloth grilles. Easy access controls are placed on the top of the right channel speaker, giving you the ability to switch sources and adjust volume without needing a remote — though a remote is also included for full couch-based control. On the back panel, you’ll find a variety of inputs including … [Read more...] about Klipsch expands its powered speakers with The Sevens and Nines | Digital Trends
Netflix Premium adds more spatial audio, more device downloads | Digital Trends
Netflix Premium subscribers are getting an enhancement to their service starting today. The streaming company has increased the number of devices that can download content for offline viewing from four to six. It’s also expanding the spatial audio feature it launched in 2022, making spatial audio available on its top 700 titles. The new features are included in the current price of a Premium plan. Spatial audio on Netflix is similar to Dolby Atmos — it creates a much more immersive, 3D-like audio experience where sounds feel like they’re moving independently of the rest of the soundtrack. However, unlike Dolby Atmos, Netflix’s spatial audio can be experienced on any device that has stereo speakers whether they are Dolby Atmos-capable or not. Netflix says that while the effect should be noticeable on any stereo device, especially when using headphones, the feature has been primarily optimized for laptops and tablets. Some examples of titles that now use Netflix spatial audio … [Read more...] about Netflix Premium adds more spatial audio, more device downloads | Digital Trends
McIntosh’s new $8,000 AVR: big power, with a Dolby Atmos catch | Digital Trends
New York-based prestige audio brand McIntosh this week launched the MHT300, an $8,000, 7.2-channel home theater receiver that boasts a monstrous 120 watts to 150 watts per channel of power. That’s right: up to 1,050 total watts. But what’s impressive about this is that all that legendary McIntosh power is distributed to all seven channels, making for some serious movie-watching sound from all directions. Well, kinda. The McIntosh MHT300 Home Theater Receiver will let you hear “every explosion, car chase, and high-speed fighter jet flyby,” according to a press release, at 120 watts per channel into 8-Ohm speakers or 150 watts per channel with 4-Ohm speakers, with all seven channels driven. And while this setup is sure to deliver pristine McIntosh sound, which may be great for most people, there’s a potentially expensive compromise when it comes to adding the height channels for Dolby Atmos surround sound. By default, those seven powered channels represent the front-left, center, … [Read more...] about McIntosh’s new $8,000 AVR: big power, with a Dolby Atmos catch | Digital Trends
