| Krell K 300i Vs Hegel 390 Help hegel will sound smootherkrell bit brighter bass sound bigger (but not tighter) than hegelB&W speakers err on bright side, suggest Hegel over Krell Actually, I completely disagree with this. If you are referencing the new K300i integrated, ... | |
| It is not you, the sound really is getting worse Every so often I will come across a movie that just has horrid audio. The most recent was Maleficent: Mistress of Evil. The soundtrack was kind of bright and actually encoded onto the disc as a very low level. I think this is the second Disney... | |
| Why so many Hegel's for sale? I always laugh when somebody posts a question like this. The market is a funny thing and timing has a lot to do with it. | |
| Streamer ugrade options please The Oppo 105 is likely your best bet for functionality and cost. There's actually a BDP-105 on audiogon now that's been modified with linear power supply and upgraded fuse. Price is $558, which is extremely low for this item.Otherwise, maybe Pa... | |
| Need recommendations for better two-channel audio out of my Marantz SR-6005 and my B&W 683 The SR-6005 is a really older generation Marantz receiver. It uses the previous generation HDAM audio stages, which have slow slew rates and, as a result, have a very warm and slow sound. The newer generation Marantz receivers are better.The Ant... | |
| Suggestions for replacement for my old Nuforce AVP-18 surround sound processor yeah, unfortunately, me and many others think that Krell failed big time on the asthetics of their current line. The previous Evolution line looked a LOT better, much like a Mercedes. The current line looks cheap, like a Toyota, but the build qu... | |
| Suggestions for replacement for my old Nuforce AVP-18 surround sound processor I keep forgetting about that processor, mostly because it only has balanced XLR outputs for left/right, but since you are only going to use RCA interconnects to your amp, it shouldn't matter to you. The Sigma SSP uses the same audio stages as the... | |
| Suggestions for replacement for my old Nuforce AVP-18 surround sound processor Sorry you have to look to the more expensive Krell Foundation. Just keep in mind there are two potential models. There is the original version, which only supports HDMI 1.4, and the "4K UHD" version. A lot of times the original version sells fo... | |
| Suggestions for replacement for my old Nuforce AVP-18 surround sound processor Emotiva XMC-1 for $950?https://www.ebay.com/itm/Emotiva-XMC-1-Gen-II-7-2ch-AV-Preamp-Processor-all-accessories-original-box...You can get an upgraded HDMI 2.0 board for this for $399, so that you can support 4K if you want:https://emotiva.com/coll... | |
| Alternative speaker suggestion to B&W 805d3 The electronics can make or break a B&W D3 speaker. Your electronics could be very bright. If you don't want to look at replacing electronics, take a look at Sonus Faber speakers. They are more forgiving on bright electronics and still soun... | |
| review my list please I've tested the 8805 in my system. It's an excellent processor for the cost. Large power supply and discrete analog output stages. Very good bass, punch and midrange body and fullness. However, it is voiced slightly warm with slightly rolled o... | |
| review my list please For general music, the Kanta 2 might be okay without a subwoofer. I haven't had direct experience with these, but I seem to remember they are kind of light on bass (I could be wrong).The REL subwoofers are extraordinarily clean and smooth. If yo... | |
| review my list please millercarbon pretty much posts the exact same message to anyone here who is asking a home theater question. I wouldn't put that much importance on his views, unless you are a 2-channel person only. You can definitely get an excellent multi-chann... | |
| Suggestions for replacement for my old Nuforce AVP-18 surround sound processor The Outlaw 976 actually shoots higher than the price, in my opinion. It uses linear power supply. Has very good op amp circuits and LOTS of localized power supply capacitors surrounding the opamps. The XLR output stage is fully balanced/differe... | |
| Suggestions for replacement for my old Nuforce AVP-18 surround sound processor For reference, there's an internal pic of your AVP here. It actually looks very similar to the low-end processors that Emotiva has offered over the last several years:https://www.audiosciencereview.com/forum/index.php?threads/the-rise-of-audio-ne... |
