| Las Vegas Hey is there "The Show" at CES anymore? I don't see it when I google search. Just want to know what audiophile stuff is at this years convention gig, jan 8-11, 2013. Anyone know, and where it might be? | |
| Why will 4k/8k matter? I'm going to CES this year, so I'm sure I'll see more than a few 4k - or higher? - displays and pj systems. Who knows. Maybe I'll get to see a side by side of old vs new state of the art, to compare. I'll fill back in after that. I've also been he... | |
| New home theater setup All posturing and bantering aside, I think Vicdamone hits the key points...honestly. ]I think that should about end things on the Arcam vs separates discussion here, yeah? Lol! | |
| New home theater setup I'm sorry. I missed that! DID SOMEONE JUST CHALLENGE ME TO AN AUDIO SYSTEM THROW DOWN?! LOL! That is funny. Yeah, let me just throw my audio system in a car and make the trip! LOl! I'm sorry, but I apparently missed the last part of your CHALLENGE... | |
| New home theater setup Hey you don't happen to be a rep for Arcam, are you Zydo? I'm just checkingZydo, I think that's wonderful that you enjoy(ed?) the Arcam. I sold Arcam for over 2 years from 2000-2002, in a High end Esoterica Audio Video salon, that sold 150K/pr spe... | |
| New home theater setup No, no Arcam AVR600 is going to take the place of anyone's high end audio separates, to driver their speaker system! Yes, it's a nice receiver, with newer AV processing, including higher end digital Dac's than what even older ultra high end digita... | |
| In wall sub for mid base ? You'd have to use an a additional crossover in the system, and take care to properly ajdust for phase, me thinks. I think it's typically much much better to simply work on getting the speakers setup properly for good coupling at the crossover, and... | |
| New home theater setup "Why? 100w vs 90w. None sense. I believe the new receiver would smoke your old one and then some" (Audionuts)"...while the new receiver sounds somewhat thin. I have to admit I haven't put carpet in the room yet or worked to "tune" the system in...... | |
| New home theater setup Regardless of size of speakers, cross em at 80hz, and make sure they're placed well for 80hz coupling in the room, and with sub, from the seats. Regardless of what receiver you use, or amp for that matter, you'll get better dynamics from those spe... | |
| AV Processor Question Dunno why you'd NEED to have any currently newly marketed amp these days, new. There's so much dirt cheap used new condition amps out there that will blow your socks off for pennies on the dollar! CIP, I just sold an othewise superb sounding HCA12... | |
| AV Processor Question "AV Receivers all seem to come with amplification and I don't need more amplification. I certainly don't want to pay for it if I've already got it"IRRELEVANT! Priced of otherwise superior sounding AV receivers on the used market, which can be had ... | |
| Home Theater speaker suggestion for Yamaha AVR Is your room a stadium sized living room or little upstairs spare bedroom size? Also, the acoustics and setup? (is your ceiling a 7' basement height or is it 13" vaulted and your speakers are gunna be out in the middle of the room?) Perhaps maybe ... | |
| weakest link? what would you upgrade? Right off the bat, for movies only, you would have to conceed that you are not at the very pinnacle of dynamic realism, range, and power with that system -including modest senstitivity passive music speakers, the receiver pre, and modest power amp... | |
| best used Pre/Pro for $1000 I noticed no one mentioned the now $500 Emotiva UMC-1? Anyone have experience with the unit as of late? wondering?... | |
| Denon or Yamaha I think that's wonderful that the reponders here all like their brands of AV receiver. I'd recommend the Denon, which has historically had a sound that's a match for a wider variety of speaker systems, is forgiving and yet detailed, warm and solid... |
