| Move From AVR to Integrated? Yup, it never hurts to take your time to sleep on it. | |
| I had asked once, but did not buy then,...so a headphone question.. bigdog, I am simply referring to people that buy Sennheisers(various models), and don't like them. They post their impressions on Amazon, and comment on them on Drop.com and other places saying that they like their new headphones much better than... | |
| I had asked once, but did not buy then,...so a headphone question.. Some don’t care for the Sennheiser sound. Another Drop.com option is the Hifiman HE 5xx. Amazing value for the money, they blow away my Grado SR125E. | |
| Move From AVR to Integrated? That sounds like the best long term decision then. I love separates and I’ve spent way too much on them! In fact right now I’ve got 4 2 channel amplifiers with two in storage. | |
| Move From AVR to Integrated? Coolhandduke, I'd say you'll be a winner either way. By the way, Outlaw Audio was founded by Peter Tribeman about 20 years ago, and he's the driving force behind it today. He was with Nad when they released the ground breaking 3020 in 1978. Wik... | |
| Move From AVR to Integrated? 213runnin Does the Outlaws bass management work both to limit low frequencies to sub and also so only those above go to mains? Yes, it crosses over the mains as well as the sub. Being that you've got bookshelf speakers(albeit very good bass respo... | |
| Move From AVR to Integrated? The problem with using your sub crossover and sending the full range signal to the speakers is this. Trying to blend the speakers manually can lead to nulls in the frequency as the sub’s output cancels the speakers low end. Bass management in th... | |
| Move From AVR to Integrated? I just checked, and the Parasound Zpre puts out more voltage than unity power of the Outlaw, so you'd be fine there.There question is, will the Zpre be a good match with the Outlaw amps. Good vs poor synergy. This is where an integrated option g... | |
| Move From AVR to Integrated? The Zpre3 is well thought of around here, the Erik poster thinks it's better sounding than the Parasound P5. I had the P5 at one point and found it too compromised for the money. Those Outlaw monoblocks look like a great option. You'll want to ... | |
| Parasound or Anthem 5 channel amp One thing I'd be cautious about is your front sound stage. Specifically, having a different amp on your center than on your fronts. There may be differences in amplifier input impedance and unity voltage, let alone sound characteristics that dra... | |
| Move From AVR to Integrated? Coolhandluke, I’m a fan of separates, but with your budget it would be tough to get a decent preamp with those outlaw monoblocks. BTW, I think their price is back up to $399 each, which leaves bery little $ for a used pre.With all of the features ... | |
| Move From AVR to Integrated? I forgot to mention, it has sub output with bass management too, plus some kind of internet radio and wifi. Here’s a link:https://outlawaudio.com/shop/index.php?id_product=56&rewrite=rr2160mkii-stereo-receiver&cont... | |
| Move From AVR to Integrated? Those Sierras are great speakers, I had 2 pairs of them. 85 sensitivity is also fine, there is more than one way to get to musical bliss. At one point I had 250 wpc on them and they were fine, but I didn’t go crazy on the volume, :)I’d recommend a... | |
| Replacement for Marantz AV8801: another prepro or receiver? AVS forum has a strong bias towards all receivers sounding the same, all amps sounding the same, cables are snake oil and so on. Unless they've changed their ways, it's best to know the bias going in.It sounds like the OP has been running a 3 cha... | |
| Speakers for Adcom GFA 575se $2k-$3k Sorry to double post, but the Kefs came in this afternoon and I’m breaking them in right now. They are warm but detailed, and I really like what I’m hearing with the vocals. Clear and airy.The Q750’s impedance curve dips down to 3.8 ohms while t... |
