| SQ : Anthem receiver vs. processor @erik_squires The idea of an all-in-one AV receiver will not satisfy your two-channel needs for music playbacks. It compromises your stereo performance. The higher end and better build AV receivers will of course sound better than the entry level ... | |
| Upgrade from Classe SSP 800 processor Yes, the Bryston SP4 looks like a great candidate. | |
| Gryphon vs Swiss solid state amps and preamps. And integrateds. I have compared the D'Agostino Momentum analog stereo integrated with the Gryphon Diablo 300 in the same setup and system and in the same room. No comparison. The D'Agostino Momentum integrated crushed the Diablo 300. A used D'Agostino Momentum in... | |
| Where to buy Rotel products? Agreed. Rotel is for audiophiles who are on a budget. Their amps perform great at affordable price points. Rotel is comparable with NAD, Rega, Creek, Cambridge Audio, Peachtree Audio, Arcam, Music Hall. These are affordable audiophile quality prod... | |
| Where to buy Rotel products? They probably don’t show up on the Magnolia online inventiry. You will have to physically go visit their showrooms or design center. They are usually inside Best Buy stores since Magnolia is owned by Best Buy. Not all Best Buy stores will have Mag... | |
| Gryphon vs Swiss solid state amps and preamps. And integrateds. The Dan D’Agostino Momentum analog stereo integrated amp will smoke the Gryphon Diablo 300 integrated, far better and more musical. It retails for $45k new if you can swing it. I would highly recommend it. I happen to own it for my master bedroom ... | |
| Where to buy Rotel products? Magnolia Audio Video sells Rotel and they always have Rotel 2ch gears on display paired with B&W speakers. B&W Group distributes Rotel products. You won't find Rotel products sold online eg Amazon, Crutchfield, Music Direct, etc. | |
| SQ : Anthem receiver vs. processor The Anthem AVM60 pre pro is the same as the preamp processor/DAC section of the Anthem MRX1120 av receiver, not the MRX720. The MRX1120 is Anthem’s flagship av receiver, which retails for $3500 new. The MRX720 is a step down from the MRX1120. | |
| Abominations: HT processor to tube amps? Is it for stereo listening to music only setup? Or multi-channel setup? | |
| Integrated Amp or Receiver suggestion for Prestige 95Fs @depeche1 The McIntosh MA252 is not class A design. | |
| Integrated Amp or Receiver suggestion for Prestige 95Fs Agreed with djones51. Stick with class A or AB amps or tube for the Prestige 95F. Get a warmer full sounding integrated amp for those speakers. | |
| Upgrade from Classe SSP 800 processor @btw22 I don't listen to two-channel music in my dedicated theater room. I have a separate two-channel setup in different listening room. But the SSP 800 is better than the Lyngdorf when used for watching bluray concert films and musical films on ... | |
| Integrated Amp or Receiver suggestion for Prestige 95Fs @audiotroy That was my point. I was trying to tell the OP that the Lyngdorf TDAI 3400 will not be a good choice for his Paradigm Prestige 95F. It is a class D amplifier design after all which can sound sterile lean thinner and on the brighter and ... | |
| Revel Ultima 2's and Amplification Add to your av preamp processor list is a Cary Audio Cinema 12 retails for $5k new. Does not support latest formats. Great sounding for both stereo and surrounds, especially for stereo music playbacks. Very musical. But I have to warn you that the... | |
| Revel Ultima 2's and Amplification First of all, your Revel Ultima Studio 2 are great speakers and your matching Revel Voice 2 center and surrounds are great as well. Overall you have great speaker surround system and deserve much better electronics than your Marantz SR7011 av rece... |
