| Help me find a new HDTV...... for $3500 I recommend you go to a different store than CC or BB, one where there is a better chance they have all the TVs reasonably well adjusted to provide a better comparison. You'll also get better advice IMO. I ended up buying from a relatively small l... | |
| M&K Owners Best amp for S-1C or S-125 $2000+/- FWIW,I have an M&K S-150 system where I added a pair of S-85s in the rear to make a 7.1 system. Based on postings from others, and a specific recommendation from my dealer, I am close to purchasing the Sherbourn 7 channel amp. Supposedly, it i... | |
| I am considering the purchase of a Marantz DV8400 Lafish,I thought the 8400 was limited to 480p output on DVI. Other DVI players; e.g., Bravo D1, Samsung 931, and Denon 5900 can also output 720p and 1080i on DVI, which I would consider a better capability.ThanksBruce | |
| High End HT Another aspect to consider is listening in other than standard 5.1/2.0 formats for 5.1/2.0 sources. Doing this well, with the operative word being well, could entail a larger investment everthing else being equal.When I went from a 5.1 to a 7.1 sy... | |
| Good DVD Concert? I don't remember the specific DVD titles (I'm at work), but a couple of other excellent concert DVDs are:- The Coors- Elton John - This is a fairly recent 2 day concert. Some earlier EJ stuff is not well recorded.- Roy Orbison, in black and white ... | |
| New Processor Adamanteus,Have you heard the Aragon Stage One, or the TAG McLaren AVR32-192? If so, how do you rate those units compared to your top 3? | |
| AragonStageOne? Other processors? Bass Management? A salesman told me the Lexicon MC-12 can also digitize the DVD-A/SACD analog input signals and do bass management, time alignment, etc. Yes, its at the expense of an additional A/D and D/A conversion. I would be curious to know how much audible di... | |
| AragonStageOne? Other processors? Bass Management? I am also looking for a new PrePro and have the same questions as you. Glad to see someone finally commenting on the sound of the Stage One- there are very very few comments/opinions on that unit on the forums that I read and I don't understand wh... | |
| any comments on the rotel 1066 surround processor? I also have a small room, but when I expanded from 5.1 to 7.1 channels I found it to be a significant improvement. IMHO, 7.1 is so much better that I would never go back to 5.1. The sound is more enveloping, surround effects have more front-to-bac... | |
| Comparisons of new generation PrePros Kthomas,Yes, I thought about a used MC-1. Appreciate your comments on the sonic improvement over the DC-1, which is a good reason to get one. Since my goals include handling SACD/DVD-A, that would be a temporary measure and would only make sense i... | |
| Comparisons of new generation PrePros Stehno,Thank you. Have not heard of Primare. Will try looking them up on the web for information. The price is definitely attractive. Do you have any comments on its surroundsound performance? Do you know if it supports 7.1 channels? I'm not into ... | |
| 5.1 or 7.1 for 14' x 17' room ? My HT listening area is about 13' x 17', and I noticed a subtle but worthwhile improvement when I added two rear speakers to expand from a 5.1 to a 7.1 channel system. The sound is more enveloping both with music and movie soundtracks.I use a Lexi... |
