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 ... 
UPS or should I Say Oooops
Evansdad, what you have said is a lie. Anyone seen dropping packages and laughing would be fired. UPS is like a military operation. If you are 1 minute late you are written up. The only reason you have had luck with Fed-ex is because in the past f... 
Lexicon mc-1 or Proceed avp??
I think the Proceed sounds better on both movies and music. But Lexicon offers more upgrades and keep current with all of the tech. Proceed is slow to offer new formats, new processors, and hardware upgrades. I have a/b compared them. I bought the... 
Anyone heard of LAT International Cables
Yes, I use them for all of my cable needs. Excellent build quality. I highly recommend them. 
Interconnect Recommendation?
Also consider Lat Internation. Excellent stuff without the fancy name, exagerated claims, and high prices. There top of the line stuff will be around 300.00 though for silver-fused with copper interconnects.
