| Crossover upgrade service I've already done a GR upgrade. Meh. Not interested in more 12 year old Sonicaps. | |
| Parasound vs Emotiva Not to be a smartass, but you must have a $300,000 system if you are at "the top". Kudos! | |
| Parasound vs Emotiva You’re not raining on anything, I own the amp, and a Parasound, and I’m telling it like it is. Yes the amp has fans. Have they ever come on? Never. Again, class AB, 25 lb, big transformer, $399. SHIPPED. Is your more expensive amplifier bette... | |
| What makes the biggest difference in sound quality? None of those things. Better amps and preamps are where you go next, or room treatment, Dirac live, etc. | |
| Crossover upgrade service Thanks! I'm probably going to move onto something else then upgrade these. They are keepers. I now have $5000 in electronics feeding them and they scale up spectacularly. But id love to what a bigger beefier cross will bring. Amazing speakers,... | |
| Parasound vs Emotiva Well I think my review will be fairly in depth and will really be of use to those looking at either brand and kind of what does your money get you. Everything I said about the Emotiva A300 is true. There are also aspects of it that the Parasound ... | |
| Parasound vs Emotiva Hey ja_kub_sz, question! I really really love this X26 Pro dac and was thinking of adding the Gustard A18 reclocker, the $1800 model. The X26 Pro is the first device I've owned with. Reclocking port and the first device I've ever heard make a... | |
| Parasound vs Emotiva Maybe, or maybe just get a pair of bespoke NC1200s built with a warrantee! | |
| Parasound vs Emotiva Interesting AuxInput. Yes I feel like pulling hairs out trying to tell people the amps do sound good. If it sounded like crap would have been gone months ago. I have experience with a lot of amps, maybe not as many as you, but I know good sound. ... | |
| Parasound vs Emotiva One thing to remember is I’m nearfield in this system, i sit 2 feet away from towers and subs are behind me to the right and left. I am in the sweet spot for the amp, not driving terribly hard. If I were in a big room, might not be "magic". I tak... | |
| Parasound vs Emotiva Yeah, the subs are actually quite cool in that I go straight from the preamp to the subs, and the subs have a selectable high pass filter for the speakers, and I go from those to the speakers. I have messed with it all, extensively, and I’m just ... | |
| Parasound vs Emotiva If your budget is high, no reason to even look at Emotiva. You do get better with more money, nobody disputes that. But for the same money? Good luck with that! I will add however that over 12 years I have owned a fair share of zemotiva stuff... | |
| Parasound vs Emotiva Thanks man! I’m going to reply to you better when I can post on something other than my phone. This forum is wonky on it. No I was replying to another guy. Some people wanna just bash on Emotiva, and its really a disingenuous band wagon thing.... | |
| Parasound vs Emotiva Last update before I get the amp. I just went XLR between the dac and preamp and Basically uncorked all of the X26 Pro. Holy ****. I could park it here and die happy. Incredible upgrade, just enabling the whole circuit. I was listening for months... | |
| Parasound vs Emotiva Not sure how to reply to individual posts, forum is a bit of a mystery still, but thank you Ja kb z! I think if I like the a23+ in near field then a JC 5 will be in my future for main duties. Sounds like you have a nice system there, wow! ... |
