| Martin Logan Aeons help? Although I prefer tubes (and that's what I use), I also have a Classe CA200 (ie transistors) and it is excellent. I don't think one necessarily NEEDS tubes, especially if your family is like mine and does not want to wait while they warm up, etc.g... | |
| Ceiling speakers for Home theater..... How about Thiel Power Points? I laughed the first time I saw them (literally), but I stopped laughing when they played. They make very good L/C/R speakers.For surrounds, you could use more PoewrPoints, or Triad makes good flush-mounts. This might ... | |
| Need suggestions on two channel amp for ML Aerius- I had Aerius mains for a while - I had the same problem as you, except that mine was made much worse by a bright room. I had to tone down the room first, then I upgraded to a Classe CA200 amp - that made a fairly big difference in the bass. The Ae... | |
| 4ohm vs 8 ohm......why one or the other....... There are quite a few well-known combinations of low-impedance speakers that mate very well with tube equipment. Magnepan and MartinLogan speakers both present pretty low impedence loads and both are generally said to sound better with tube equipm... | |
| Did B&K make a three ch. 105w amp I have the ST3140, which is a 3-ch 125W amp, but I don't recall hearing of a 105W product. | |
| anyone use line doubler w/Sharp xvz9000u projector You might want to check over at www.avsforum.com in the "> $5K projector" forum. Lots of knowledgable folks over there, including a LOT of Sharp 9000 users... | |
| Help with Starting a HOme Theater It'd be helpful to also know if you will spend time watching movies, TV (esp sports), games, etc. Some of these things have a pretty big impact on what you might get.Oh, and how much flexibility you have in arranging the room. For example, I'm in ... | |
| Martin Logan Aeons help? I would think that you could upgrade to an external power amplifier and satisfy the requirements. You only need two channels of clean power to handle them. I have used non-ML surrounds with my ML L/C/R and it worked fine. I mostly have ML surround... | |
| Room Acoustic Software I was just considering this stuff, as it looks like I'm stuck in my "temporary" room for much longer than I had originally planned. I have an all-MartinLogan speaker system and I note that there isn't much in the way of ML's in the CARA library. I... | |
| And what do Maggies sound like near a wall...... I'll second the mention of ProAc mini-monitors. I had a pair of ProAc Tablette 50's less than a foot from the back wall, and while they sounded better two feet away, they were pretty good set back near the wall. Tremendously better than planars do... | |
| Are Horn Speakers good or bad or simply a complete joke? I think they're just different. I have a friend who has some pretty old Klipsch horns, and they sound very nice. I haven't heard them in a few months (they're 290 miles away). They're clearly different from my electrostatics in some subtle ways.I ... | |
| Shhhhhh Don't tell my wife. Looking at B&W 802Ns My Odysseys helped sell the listening room - there was no way that they were going into a "publik" room! | |
| Bass Management ? I can't speak for the Denon unit, but my Classe SSP75 definitely crosses over bass to the sub when the mains are set to small. I thought this was wrong, but when I tried it, I discovered that I liked the system better with the sub. The sub's bass ... | |
| Best All In One Learning Remote $500 I don't have the 5200, but I have the 5000. It may actually be the most valuable component in the system, because it makes the system usable for the rest of the family. Without it, I have to use a selection of 11 remotes with a total of about 650 ... | |
