| Surround Speaker Question I would disagree with that statement... If you go back to the days of Pro-Logic, yes, surrounds were limited to a point where you could use very different speakers than your L/C/R's. Today, the high resolution formats and the amount of information... | |
| What subs do you think will pair up best? Yes, they will. Honestly, you need to give us more information... pair up with what? And what are you going to use them for? Home theater, music, both? What is important to you? Very deep bass? Accurate bass?This is kind of like asking which car i... | |
| Cary cinema 11a or Krell HTS 7.1 ??? I've using the Krell HTS 7.1 with an Oppo BDP-95 right now. It does sound amazing.When I purchased my pre/pro a few years ago, I did listen to the Cary 11a and although it's a very nice sounding pre, I always felt more "engaged" by the Krell. It r... | |
| Power amp + CDP: is that enough? I think the Sony has a digital volume control... basically, to cut the volume, it will start truncating the information. So, although a good idea on paper, you will lose detail and quality... Also, the Sony has no way to adjust the max volume outp... | |
| Thiel CS 3.7 and Vandersteen 5a, 5a Carbon If you're enjoying the 3.6's in your current system, I wouldn't look at Vandersteens. Both are outstanding speakers but at two different sides of the spectrum; Vandersteens tends to be slightly dark and Thiels slightly bright, neither to the extre... | |
| ok, lets talk about set up in a home theater Get rid of that subwoofer and replace it with something that can blend with the 804's... | |
| New or Upgrading Pre - Pro Hmmm... At least tome, I'd rather have great sound than a single cable behind a rack that I can't see anyways unless I'm behind it. If it bothers you, then by all means, stick to HDMI. Your choice. | |
| New or Upgrading Pre - Pro PDN: yes, HDMI would work as well, but rarely will you get better sound than if you let the Oppo BDP95 do the decoding and output via 7.1 analog instead decode and output via HDMI | |
| Is This Amp OK for This Speaker? Actually, the center channel is the most important speaker in a HT... in a normal movie, about 70% of all sound involves the center channel.Will it work? Yes. But I would try to find an amp that matches your L/R for the center (mind you, not say t... | |
| Krell preamp / Parasound amp power up issue Could it be that the current draw exceeds what the power line can deliver? You will have a spike at start up and I'm thinking that you might have something else on the same breaker that is causing this instability... | |
| What amp to tame Eggleston Works Esotar Tweeters? This sounds like it could be a room issue... any way to add some dampening to the room?Otherwise, I would agree with Brf... The Estor tweeters are not known to be edgy, but rather a bit mellow. | |
| What do I need to complement the Thiel CS2.4 For a center, I highly recommend MCS1 and PowerPoints for surround. You will need to spend some money on good amps... no other way around it. Thiels do require plenty of power (quality more than quantity though). Look for an amp that doubles into ... | |
| What do I need to complement the Thiel CS2.4 I have the 2.4's in a combined HT and stereo. First of all, you do need an amp that can really drive them. Makes all the difference in the world. With that said, I woukdn't even look at a AVR... Go separates with an amp that can double it output i... | |
| New amp? Thiel... The 334 is an amazing match for the Thiels. Mind you, the Krell is still a very good amp, but the slightly darker ML does complement the Thiels better.... and yes, I am enjoying! :-) | |
| New or Upgrading Pre - Pro With a 7.1 analog input and a BluRay player like Oppo BDP-95, you can still enjoy the new Hi-Rez formats, just not decoded in the pre/pro. All you really give up is the room correction, which the Mac doesn't have anyway... The Mac should really be... |
