| Which processor has better audio for home theater? Don't dismiss the older Anthem AVM 20's and 30's. They can be fully upgraded to the AVM 50 (HDMI) and sound just as good if not maybe a touch better (at least to my ears.)I think it's like $2200 for the upgrade and the AVM 20's have been selling f... | |
| NHT in Home Theater Setup If you are going to use the standard 80HZ crossover points with a sub, I would go with the Classic 3's. If you don't want to use a sub, go with the 4's.I use the 4's in front, the 3's as surrounds and the Classic 3 center. Using the 80hz THX cross... | |
| Review: Dahlquist DQ-10 Speaker I have a pair in excellent condition that I sort of dismissed until a while back. I was messing around with my HT and had ordered some new speakers. I had sold the others so I set up a temporary system utilizing the DQ 10's in front and a pair of ... | |
| Denon's new Blu-Ray player Way too much to pay for marginal improvement. I agree totally with Tvad. Let it settle out.At least the new cheaper Sony plays CD. Something the original did not.I have one of each of the Sony's connected to a 46" LCD XBR Sony set and a Sony 40" X... | |
| The great myth of the XlR Well, I think we've gone full circle here so I'm bowing out. Enjoyed it. | |
| The great myth of the XlR The Sonus Faber is a good speaker. Expensive seeming for what you get but decent non the less. They do have a "Warmish" sound and are not the last word in inner detail. I have had the good fortune of having a local dealer with a good friend who se... | |
| The great myth of the XlR Unfortunately, pitch and timing fall into another one of those elusive categories. Ones man pitch is another mans distortion.How can you have decent timing in speakers (which I'm assuming we're talking here) with high order crossovers destroying t... | |
| The great myth of the XlR Virtualimage-glad someone gets it! High Fidelity has wondered way off its original goals. It's sad. It seems now whatever suits an individuals taste (sound wise,) then it is automatically labeled high fidelity. High fidelity is about reproducing t... | |
| The great myth of the XlR So Sounds real _ audio. Is it the equipment or the cabling? And why wouldn't a balanced system not be able to convey the music and the emotion. Kind of a misguided blanket statement from a dealer wouldn't I would say? Wouldn't have anything to do ... | |
| The great myth of the XlR My point is not all recordings are good. You will always have some that don't quite cut it and the system should reflect that. If a known bad recording sounds good, then you have a system that is not neutral. BTW, neutral to me is not a preference... | |
| The great myth of the XlR You would really have to compare the same cable in XLR and RCA configurations to know anything about the difference. Comparing different brands and different cables within brands is pretty worthless IMO. It costs money to really experiment and fin... | |
| The great myth of the XlR First off, it is not a "Myth" as you call it under all conditions. Second, if your equipment is "Truly" balanced it will sound somewhat better using balanced connections. (Read the Stereophile review on the Ayre AX7e integrated and what the review... | |
| Audible Illusions Modulous 3A & L2 Line Stage User I used both for a considerable amount of time and the only thing they don't do as well as the mega buck preamps is play loud without a little bit of dynamic conjestion. Sometimes this can be a moot point with the right set of tubes. As for transpa... | |
| Latest on Blu-Ray vs HD DVD ? CMO, I use the same TV in one of my systems and hooked the Sony Blu-ray to it. Although it will not do 1080p, the 1080i did look significantly better. It was so sharp, you could see how the actors makeup is applied! I also own the 9000es and the H... | |
| Thiel 3.6's vs. Vandersteen 3 sigs The new 2Ce Sig II uses the tweeter and midrange of the 3a Sig. Great sounding speaker for $1995! |
