joe_b: why would you undergo laser surgery on your eyes instead of sticking to your trifocals? put another way: what is the sound of five hands clapping? FWIW, i really have no idea what mark (the man, not the name madrigal owns) is up to but couldn't resist the reply. I do have it on good authority that the red rose shop is pretty much tricked out and only plays music that sounds best on their limited-range speakers (think tas or s'phile has also noted this). kinda' like ensemble. ever been to one of their demos? as for me, i'm keeping my 8.2 ht setup 'til i hear better.
Red Rose or Audio Prism?
I got interested in audio following my interest in home theatre and heard Red Rose equipment on a recent visit to New York. They had some ideas that were slightly weird to me including the suggestion that I change my video from 5.1 to 2 channels. (Just when I thought I was up to date.)Trying to research the equipment on the internet, one article suggested that amps are actually made by someone else, despite the company's sales pitch about their connection with Marc Levinstein, supposedly the "engineering" guru behind the design. Is this anything to worry about? Is this company legitimate? Whoever makes the stuff, is it any good?
