| MidFi multi channel solution needed for HT. 1.8A is fine. That's enough for 216 watts of A/C power, which the HT Processor will not come close to using. | |
| B&W 803 D3 speakers - which amp? I have read one or two comments in the past that say the McIntosh multi-channel amps aren't that good, but I take that with a grain of salt. I don't think you will get any major difference in sound, but the larger MC462 will likely have better ba... | |
| 804D3 for main speakers and 805D3 for rear surround? is this ok for Multi-Ch Speaker Music The 805D3 are actually pretty amazing speakers for bookshelves. They have very good bass, even though they are small. It would be a great match to the 804D3. | |
| Is Marantz AV8805 good enough pre amp for McIntosh MC8207 @tomiiv30 - How do you like the AV8805? As I have said in multiple other threads, I tested the 8805 and thought it was very good, but with slightly rolled off highs. If you want more high frequency resolution, I recommend upgrading the fuse to 2... | |
| First World Problem in need of Solution Sorry, nekoaudio, but I disagree here. A large power supply in the amp is very important, yes, but the sonic signature and how it reacts to signal/load is another important factor. I have worked with several different amps (Bryston is one of the... | |
| Home Theater Receiver recommendations for B&W 803S? Ok, a tip on the fuse install. Since you have a multimeter, you can test the fuse clip points. Remove the fuse. In most cases, one of the fuse clips will connect directly to one of the blades on the IEC inlet (usually the hot A/C conductor). T... | |
| First World Problem in need of Solution You probably want at least a couple hundred watts per channel. The best solution would be to find more Luxman amps, but they are definitely very expensive!! I don't know if you can find a smaller M-700u that you could run mono for the center cha... | |
| Home Theater Receiver recommendations for B&W 803S? awilder - do you have a digital multimeter or a continuity tester? | |
| litz copper vs stranded silver? Copper can be a little murky if you are using all gold-plated connectors, but yes, I agree it is more natural and realistic. I have found 20awg solid-core to be the sweet spot between strong bass and good resolution highs, but you could try build... | |
| First World Problem in need of Solution If 2-channel audio is your main priority, then your Option #1 is most likely the best solution. There isn't going to be any HT Processor that is going to sound quite like your Luxman C-900u preamp. You could go with your other options, but like ... | |
| MidFi multi channel solution needed for HT. Silverstar is discontinued by Hi-Fi Tuning, which is why Parts Connexion is selling them out at 60% off. Parts Connexion still has 1.8A and 2.5A SMALL slow blow fuses in Silverstar line. You will probably be fine with either. Otherwise, you can... | |
| MidFi multi channel solution needed for HT. I usually recommend a 2A slow-blow for HT processors like that.----Parts Connexion is selling out the Hi-Fi Tuning Silverstar fuses for 60% off. The SMALL are $15.98 each. Otherwise, I usually try to buy from VH Audio, unless he is out of stock.... | |
| HT Pre\pro with digital out Oh crud, I did not read that you are tri-amplifying your speakers. What you are looking for doesn't actually exist because all HT processors will output the digital at "full volume". The Marantz has a 9-band graphic EQ that you can use to adjust... | |
| MidFi multi channel solution needed for HT. The NRG-5 is an older cable and is no longer made. ----The problem with the Rotel Class D is likely because of the switching power supply they use. Also, not all Class D circuits are the same or act the same. If you are interested in getting a ... | |
| HT Pre\pro with digital out You're better off getting a really nice HT Processor that includes the active crossover and EQ functions. It actually degrades the sound to have it processed through a MiniDSP. What's your budget? |
