| 7.1 HT proc/amp for B&W Matrix 803x2,805x3, DS6x2? Celt16,I would look at the Integra Research RDC 7.1 Prepro and the Gemstone 7 channel amp. These are well within your budget. I own an RDC 7.1 and really like it. There is good potential for affordable upgrades in the future for the emerging high ... | |
| Distance/Screen SIze Formula? lel_11932@yahoo.com,I have seen formulas for screen size referenced in postings at www.avsforum.com. I take these as guidelines rather than gospel.In my own case, I want an immersive, theater experience in my HT. I sit about 11' away from my TV an... | |
| which technology really has the best picture RW, I would suggest we have different opinions, not that either is right or wrong regarding screen size.To the original poster, Dave, I suggest you spend some time viewing different screen sizes at the viewing distance you will have in your room, ... | |
| 1080p an issue for now? Dave,I second the comment by Bmcleod that a 50" display at 12' - 14' is too small. I have been using a 61" display sitting about 10' feet away, and I just orderd a 71" display to replace the 61". Just my own perspective, but I would quickly become... | |
| which technology really has the best picture Dbw1,My $0.02 worth. The first thing I would do in your case is decide on screen size. If you are sitting 12' from the display, a 50" screen size is going to look like a postage stamp, especially in the context of a 21' long room.I sit 9' - 10' fr... | |
| Do I need Pro Logic IIx? I realize we each have our own preferences and priorities. I've also noticed Audiogon is very 2 channel focused, while sites like AVS Forum have more interest in multichannel listening, independent of whether that is a movie or music.For those int... | |
| Do I need Pro Logic IIx? Raduray,I have a different perspective, and it is that 7.1 has a far superior surround envelopment compared to 5.1, and for me is highly preferrable. I started with 5.1, then expanded to 7.1, and now I have no desire to ever go back to 5.1.Since t... | |
| Anyone try and compare the Halcro SSP 100 or 80? Pramod1969,In regard to "No room EQ is available with SSp-100 as seen with Lexicon which may or may not add to sound quality after spending $4000", my experience is the Lexicon room correction EQ definitely improves the sound quality. Bass is clea... | |
| Side speaker importance Gennady,In case you haven't already done so, I would post this at www.avsforum.com. They have individuals much more knowledgeable than I in surroundsound, and they may be able to provide helpful recommendations.ThanksBruce | |
| Side speaker importance Gennady,I can't offer any specific suggtions on your question regarding the side speakers except to say that in my own case, I have sides that are from the same manufacturer and are timbre matched to my Left, Center, and Right.You have a pretty di... | |
| Processor hunt....does this animal exist?? Kennyt,I have been looking at the Integra Research RDC 7.1. Have you considered that? I can't say it meets all your needs, but its configurable via plug-in modules and may be a viable option. FYI, there are reviews of this unit in the Jan/Feb issu... | |
| Acurus Act 3 vs Lexicon Processor Rex,Did you do any listening comparison's of the MC-8 versus other Prepro options before you purchased it? If so, would you mind sharing your insights?ThanksBruce | |
| Newer AV pre-pro's with built in Parametric EQ's Aball,FWIW, the Lexicon website talks about not attempting to flatten the frequency response, but instead to concentrate on making sure resonant frequencies do not have abnormally long decay times. There are a lot of postings on Lexicon's approach... | |
| Newer AV pre-pro's with built in Parametric EQ's Flrnlamb,I am a user of a PrePro with digital room correction, a Lexicon MC-12 V5EQ, and I do like the results. My room is on the smaller side, about 13' x 17' x 9.5', with one side open to the rest of the house and a 7.1 speaker array. I have lit... | |
| advice on 5.1 or 7.1 pre/pro Flrnlamb,Does it have DPLII, or DPLIIx? If its DPLII, I'm curious to know how it does 7.1.ThanksBruce |
