| Thinking of moving from AVR to pre/pro and amp So I have had some time to digest the differences with the speakers up on the VTI (unfilled) stands and the subwoofers in two different configurations. I now have the crossover for the sub and front speakers at 80hz.So far I like what I'm hearing ... | |
| CES 2013 - 4k and Ultra HD video thoughts Thanks for the post, Avgoround. I'm struggling with buying a new Pansonic plasma (GT65) or waiting another year or two. It's not that my Sony XBR4 52" sucks, but the price point for a much larger screen has come down so much that it just makes it ... | |
| Las Vegas I need to drop by Audio Xpert some time. I wish he had a website with a list of items he has for sale...or be open on Saturdays... | |
| Hand crafted equipment rack? Warrenh: Why maple over a denser wood like white oak (or a more exotic wood)? Does the density of maple hit a sweet spot or do you, like me, just prefer the look of maple? I'm trying to learn why decisions are made one way or the other.Thanks! | |
| Thinking of moving from AVR to pre/pro and amp Update: I ordered some VTI speaker stands here on Audiogon. Once they arrive, I'll move the subs and see how things change. Should be interesting to hear the results. | |
| Topnotch BluRay Concert..... Correction on the Botti Blu-Ray, it's not DTS but rather Dolby 5.1 digital. | |
| Thinking of moving from AVR to pre/pro and amp Which Rush Blu-Ray? I have Snakes and Arrows and it sounded quite iffy on my system. Adele and Botti's were 100x better. | |
| Are there really any high end pre/processors at a 01-10-13: EriktThe links below will show you how I have my Musical Fidelity A5 Integrated amp with HT Bypass wired into a single system for movies and music with my Yamaha AVR.The first link is an overall wiring diagram:Overall DiagramThe second l... | |
| Topnotch BluRay Concert..... I also bought Adele's dvd mentioned above and have now put all three through their paces on my less than perfect (but improving) system.Did anyone else find the Snakes and Arrows DTS5.1 to be harsh or over-bright sounding? At some points things be... | |
| Thinking of moving from AVR to pre/pro and amp Internetmin: Thanks for the tips. It appears I have a weekend project to complete!I have the Smith book in my "wish list" on Amazon (there's a DVD option too...I might buy that instead as I'm a visual learner).I did some more listening last night ... | |
| Thinking of moving from AVR to pre/pro and amp I fixed the crossover issue, now setting it at 60 db (on the receiver, dvd player, and on the back of the subs themselves). Is 60hz too low? I can easily set it to 80hz. I also worked a bit on speaker placement. This has helped a bit. I need to do... | |
| Thinking of moving from AVR to pre/pro and amp BTW: Thanks for your patience with me. I do appreciate that you could be listening to music instead of replying to my thread. Rest assured, I am listening to what you are trying to tell me and I will give things a try. Thanks again! | |
| Thinking of moving from AVR to pre/pro and amp Ok, measured the room and the overall dimensions are 34'x34'x12'high. There is a full wall 15' back from the RF speaker that is 8' long (kitchen divide -- holds double ovens, cabinets, etc., etc.) but otherwise unbroken. Big volume to fill. Howeve... | |
| Thinking of moving from AVR to pre/pro and amp Thanks for the new replies. I understand the integrated amp approach better now.Oddly enough, the office audiophile snapped to the subwoofer xover point, speaker placement, and speaker size issues just as two of you have. I will get some dimension... | |
| Thinking of moving from AVR to pre/pro and amp Thank you everyone for your respones. One thing I am still trying to get my head around is outside of the amplifier improvements, what will I gain by doing this given that I am sending analog signals to the pre pro? Am I just fooling myself on a n... |
