| Krell HTS 7.1 vs. Showcase Old thread.... yes, I've heard both, and although the Lexicon is an excellent unit, it always sounded a bit dry and lifeless to me, almost like it was holding back. The Krell on the other hand... well, that's what I ended up buying and have been u... | |
| Krell HTS 7.1 Variations You can have variations in what people paid when they bought them new... The original MSRP was $8000 if I remember correctly. | |
| Lexicon MC-12 too out dated? No, not crazy. That's a great price for a pre/pro that sounds really good. Just get a good BluRay player (Oppo BDP-95 has great DAC's) and use the analog 7.1 input and you'll be just fine. | |
| Classe SSP 800 vs. Krell S-1200 The Krell is neutral and the Classe is well... neutral.Seriously, both are excellent. Only you can make a determination which one sounds best to you with your surrounding equipment (sources, amps, speakers, cables, etc.) | |
| Five spkr choices Your pick? Neither of those will really be any upgrade from the Triangle speakers you already have... different, yes, but not better.Keep the speakers you've got now and upgrade the front end instead (or better yet, keep the money and save up additional for ... | |
| center channel problem You should probably look for an MCS1... one of the best, if not the best, center you can possible find. | |
| Thiel SCS2 or MCS1? Thanks Vernneal. That's exactly the answer I was afraid I would get... as you know, the MCS1's don't come up too often used and finding one in black will be difficult... guess the hunt for the matching MCS1's starts now... | |
| Anyone with a Krell KAV-250a that could help? Thanks for you help!220V is 2-2-2 and the black switch (pre transformer) set to 2 (if anyone needed this info...) | |
| How to best use Magnepan MMG in 2ch/5.1 system? You could get a great HT pre/pro and use that... that's what I did. Krell HTS 7.1 sounds amazing in stereo and in HT, doesn't decode the new formats and not HDMI, but you can run the video source direct to display or use a video processor for swit... | |
| Moving on from Nordost Blue Heaven to...? I've used to have Nordost, but after switching to Maggie 1.6's, they just had to go... the synergy wasn't there.After trying some other brands (borrowed a whole bunch from my local dealer), I settled on a shot-gun Cardas Cross, which brought the w... | |
| Magnepan 1.6 fronts-what non-maggies center/sur A single MMG as a center? Is there any way you could post pictures of that? Also, wouldn't that create a bit of dispersion problem if you sit off center (or maybe it's wide enough that you're not having that problem...) | |
| Voltage convert Krell KAV500 Depends how old the amp is... I have a Krell KAV-250a that I converted from 120v to 220v. All I had to do was to flip 4 dip switches inside the amp.... this will not work for the newer Krells though... | |
| Can a Magnepan 1.6 be BI AMPED? They can be passively bi-amp...If you are looking to actively bi-amp them, then you need to remove the crossover and use an external crossover (digital crossovers seems to be the way most people go).Not certain, you'll gain that much when passivel... | |
| Need your inputs - Leaving HT to 2ch You can be successful to combine the two... but it does take some good planning.First thing you need is a very good pre/pro (I'm using Krell HTS7.1, which is a great HT pro, but even more importantly is also a fantastic 2-ch pre) and good amplific... | |
| best audio from a Blu Ray player The Oppo BDP-83 does sound very good, both over HDMI (where it is extremely good), but also over 7.1 single ended (RCA) output. I've tested this against Denon 3800 in my own home, and the Denon is great, but just matchting the Oppo (actually, in s... |
