| Would love opinions on my HT puzzle I'd keep the Aragon 4004. I've owned an Aragon 8008,8002 & 4004, Proceed HPA, and now own a California Audio Labs MCA 2500. It's amazing how well the 4004 still competes with the newer amps. What you will hear with the 8008 series is lower bas... | |
| Aragon 8008x3b "AAA" rated by SGTHT? I don't think you will hear much of a difference. The Aragon 8008X3 is excellent with music. I have owned both the Proceed and the Aragon 8008STX3. The Aragon equaled the Proceed in everywhy. Most guys who own both use the 2 channel version for th... | |
| Best used 5 channels amp. for both music and movies I think the California Audio Labs MCA 2500 should be at the top of your list. It was a steal for the price that I paid for the performance I get. Best piece of audio gear that I have ever purchased. | |
| What multi channel amp sounds like a Class A two channel? California Audio Labs runs class A for the first 50 watts into each of 5 channels. It sounds a lot like Mark Levinson stuff to me. You may want to check Widescreen Review for information. I remain very impressed by the amp. It retails for 7500.00 ... | |
| sonic frontiers line 2 break in? My pre-amp sounded the same way when I first got it. I was sick! Figured I had make a mistake by purchasing it. I suggest you leave it on for a few days then check back. Sonic Frontier makes great pre-amps. My pre-amp was lifeless, sterile and had... | |
| CRT or LCD or DLP projector ? Crt is still the way to go. If you have light control it. I have spent the last few months looking at different dlp and lcd projectors and televisions. If you just look at some of the dlp and lcd units, you will at first think that they look prett... | |
| EAD Theater Master Sig. or Casablanca II Both are excellent sounding units. EAD has a 7.1 analog by pass for DVD-A and SACD. The Theta does not. Theta seems more upgradeable but is much more expensive. If you are trying to save some money, I'd buy the EAD. | |
| Surrounds don't need as much power I use the PSB stratus line. In this case the mini speaker actually is less efficent than the Golds and require more power. So because the rears are smaller does not mean that they need less power. | |
| B W 802N how much power? Oh, I should add that the Cal audio Labs is on par with the Levison amps that I have heard for sound quality. | |
| B W 802N how much power? I really thought 200 watts was enough power. But, a bigger amplifier just give so much more of a relaxed and dynamic performance. It sort of like having a V12 engine. Because you have one does not mean you are going to drive fast but when you get ... | |
| Krell Home Theater Standard The Krell does sound very good though. They are offering a few upgrades latter this year. I would recommend both their amp and their processor. | |
| Tag McLaren Audio I recently heard the Tag. It is very good and I do not think for the price anything can outperform it. But several processors are better but at significantly higher prices. It is doing well here in the U.S. from what I can see and rightly so. The ... | |
| CAL CL2500 vs. Casa Nova vs. Proceed It is almost impossible for surround processor with built in video switching to compete with the specs of the Cal SSP-2500. Not unit on the market has better signal to noise specs, only one equals it and that is Theta, and none can match the bandw... | |
| CAL CL2500 vs. Casa Nova vs. Proceed I have owned the Proceed avp but sold it to buy the Cal audio labs 2500. The Cal outperforms it. But I still like Proceed and would recommend it. I have compared the Cal against Theta CBII for two channel and the results were the same but the Thet... | |
| Which "stand alone" processor ??? The only surround processor that can match a two channel only pre-amp is the California Audio Labs SSP-2500. Check Widescreen Review for information. I have often noticed what you discribed with surround processors lacking the sound quality of an ... |
