| System bottleneck? artemus_5 I guess I did not think there would be much of a difference whether I streamed through phone or directly on the marantz. I have not looked into going direct but I will figure out how. I guess I also thought I needed an app to stream fro... | |
| System bottleneck? I knew I would get that question. I cannot say there is anything in particular but like a lot of us I was just looking for that little bit of extra. For example I thought someone might tell be to get an outboard DAC that is better than the one in ... | |
| System bottleneck? So are you saying I could use a better streaming device than the marantz? | |
| System bottleneck? Meant to say Why not Who. Sorry. | |
| System bottleneck? Who’s streaming a bottleneck? Not sure I understand. | |
| System bottleneck? Thank you. Actually I do stream through my phone app to the marantz. That is what I do most. Then vinyl and then cds. | |
| Biamp question Thank you all! I believe I can manage the active crossover (possibly) but my chief concern is disabling the crossover in my speakers. | |
| Biamp question I have also read that when you go with passive biamping that since the crossovers being used are at the speaker level that the preamp still gives the speakers the full range of high and low frequencies. I can’t seem to wrap my head around that sin... | |
| Biamp question At my current abilities I would be very hesitant to use an active crossover since I would actually have to get inside the speakers and disconnect built in passive crossovers in them. The nice 7 year Legacy warranty goes out the window and if I mak... | |
| Biamp question Thank you all. I have not tried the st 100 by itself yet. Are you saying that not only is it stout enough to drive the bass on the legacy’s but that you also prefer the sound of st 100 over the a21+? | |
| Biamp question I do have one last question. I am assuming that both amps inputs go to the same preamps outputs. Is that a correct assumption? | |
| Biamp question Oldhvymec thanks for your advice and input. I will give that a try. Thanks to everyone else who commented for your input as well. This has all been quite illuminating. | |
| Biamp question Now I’m thinking/wondering if you need to have 2 amps that are exactly the same to use internal crossover wiring method. | |
| Biamp question Honestly I am not sure how to use the built in crossovers of the speakers. Seems the connections would be different. Please excuse my ignorance on this topic. | |
| Biamp question I guess I won’t know that until I try it. On the crossover question, I want to get a crossover that already matches the crossover points of the speakers. Is that pretty accurate? |
