| Where's the talk/reviews on the Emotiva UMC-200? Thank you Runnin for your insight into the product line! That sounds about right. You get what you pay for, typically. I'll likely look at a bit more upscale used products in the near future.I know that, like the Emotiva UMC-1 -which took YEARS to... | |
| Starting HT from scratch - 6k budget HOw big is the space, and long wall or short wall? How high is ceiling? What are acoustics like? (I wouldn't recommend open wide dispersing loud speakers on a short wall with flat surfaces surrounding, and so on). Is it strictly HT? How many seati... | |
| Starting a new dedicated HT I'd go with the SI Black Diamond over the comparably priced Stewart. The SI has superior black level in all lighting conditions, as well as contrast, and rejection of off-axis wall color and stray light. The latest has enough refinement that It's ... | |
| Best setup for two subwoofers. You're dealing there with a matter of likely increased efficiency, with more drivers or volume, power, etc. And, since the woofers are in pretty much the same acoustic location, it acts acoustically like a normal large subwoofer, in space. So, whe... | |
| I know, there is no 'best', but... Correction! The comparison was DSP-A3090 and AVR5600. My bad. Yes, and if I had to run a receivers amp sections, I'd be using their amps as run "small" only, and likely, preferably only to driver surrounds, and or super efficienct speakers, ideall... | |
| Very large room HT Yeeeeaaaah,..I think we should just go around to all the local movie theaters and try to convince these companies that own them to throw out all their otherwise ineffective and crappy horn loudspeaker systems, and switch over to using Magnapans, B... | |
| Very large room HT "Depth?"..are you kidding me?! Um, depth isn't how cinema recordings are mixed. I got news for ya'll! Try to uses some intentionally "deep" imaging loud speakers for movie duties, and you'll have a soundstage that's way to laid back and uninvolvin... | |
| I know, there is no 'best', but... Once did a comprehensive AB comparison between a then flagship Yamaha DSP-A1 and Denon AVR5600, back in the day. The speakers I used to compare were little bookshelf B&W DM601's and also full range Mirage M5i tower speakers, as driven by the t... | |
| AV Receiver Underpowered? Here's the problem with AV Magazine equipment reviewer's agendas, when it comes to reviewing HT AV receivers -and then also doing comparisons with competing outboard amps and separates processors:-MUCH MORE OF THE COMPARATIVE MONEY from the manufa... | |
| AV Receiver Underpowered? ESPECIALLY run full range, you're not getting the control and damping through passive speakers, run full range, using ANY av receiver, really! The ONLY way to get adequate results, power-wise, from a receiver running your loudspeakers, is to run t... | |
| Starting a new dedicated HT From your comments on loudspeaker options, might I suggest considering sepate stereo music loudspeakers and a sparate 5.1/7.1 HT loudspeaker sytem in that space?! You can easily hide all the loudspeakers by building a simple fakade in the front of... | |
| I know, there is no 'best', but... You'll likely have to look to the higher end AV pre-pro's for better quality 2 channel stereo, analog bypass, and general preamplification sections and such, If you're looking for all in one processor for you movie/music needs. That said, I think ... | |
| What is the best subwoofer you have ever heard? ...Oh, to answer your question (lol), to properly cover all of your stated criteria, I suggest that there's no single subwoofer that can truly do all of that, IMO. Rather, a custom multiple subwoofer project, consisting of large enclosures, many h... | |
| What is the best subwoofer you have ever heard? Best subs I ever heard were the ones that were properly placed in the room, integrated with the loudspeakers and the associated listening positions, correctly dialed in for volume, phase and correct crossover frequency accordingly, and also inhere... | |
| Very large room HT Here's how all this works.. First, Vast majority of consumers systems, regardless of expenditure, have chity performing systems, that are no where near the capability of what they COULD have ended up with if they did it right in the first place! T... |
