B&K 307 vs. Denon 5800 Debate
Phyre3, Finally a reasonable explaination. Thank you!So what if I bought the high end of the B&K amplifier line (the one with the same chassis as lower end ones) with all the channels... What is my upgrade path? I presume NONEother than buy ne... 
Subwoofer Controls? Dual Volume Setting
Mg123, does the Velodyne have dual inputs? dual volume controls? 
Best speaker a wife would tolerate
My Wife loves my B&W N-802's.. I just worry that if she ever leaves me, she'll take my speakers!! Doh! 
Subwoofer Controls? Dual Volume Setting
Hey Sugarbrie, I listened to REL's and felt they didn't go deep enough for home theater. Subsonics are VERY important in HT. I'm not sure which models I listened to but I know one was dual 10's and they didn't have anything larger. Interestingly e...

Ears for better information on DVD-A go to http://www.digitalaudioguide.comIt seems that very few (if any) players are available and even there are fewer than 40 DVD-A releases available. This makes a true comparison between SACD and DVD-A very di... 
B&K 307 vs. Denon 5800 Debate
Ears... I've looked, searched and scoured the net. I cannot find any DVD-A players, or media currently available. The only thing I can find is DAD which is DVD without the video. Even Audio assylum is full of speculation and no real comparisons.

Ears, The new (silver) Krell KAV-HTS has true analog bypass for SACD. Older version of the Krell HTS sound HORRIBLE when playing SACD. Thank god Krell realized this and will be upgrading older versions in the second quarter.Are you trying to tell ... 
B&K 307 vs. Denon 5800 Debate
Ears, it remains to be seen whether DVD-A is better or worse than SACD. I agree that SACD is a great format but DVD-A hasn't yet been released, so making comparisons at this point is not fair.You are correct, DAC's can be upgraded and in MOST case... 
B&K 307 vs. Denon 5800 Debate
Okay.. Okay.. I get it... :) Lets look at the size difference between the 202 and the 307. The 307 is MUCH larger than the 202. The 307 is a 7 channel receiver and the 202 is a 5 channel. Justy, how will the extra amplifiers, cards and powersuppli... 
B&K 307 vs. Denon 5800 Debate
Thanks Justy..... Except what good does DTS-EX do for a 5 channel receiver? DTS-EX is 6.1 and the B&K 202 is NOT a 6.1 capable amplifier/receiver i.e. it does not have 6.1 amplifiers, or outputs which leads me to belive that there is truly NO ... 
B&K 307 vs. Denon 5800 Debate
Hey Ears, Update? What are you going to update to? Can you update your 202 to Dolby Ex? Can you update to 7.1 channel sound now that it's available? Can you add additional line level outputs for other speakers? Does it have extra slots for additio... 
B&K 307 vs. Denon 5800 Debate
If it must be one of these two receivers, go for the B&K 307 but do yourself a favor and try the Marantz SR-18 or if you prefer the SR-18EX. Audio quality of this unit is FAR superior to the B&K. I used to LOVE the B&K and compared it ...
