| A good sounding amp for my GoldenEar Refderence How do you like the Golden Ear/Classe pairing right now? If you like your current pairing now and since you already have the Classe CA-5300 five-channel amp, you can look for a used Classe CAM-300 monoblock amps or the CAM-600 monoblock amps, whic... | |
| WHICH HT PROCESSOR Are you looking for a new HT processor that supports 4K pass through with HDR? What about Dolby Atmos, DTS-X & Auro-3D? | |
| Suggestion for best stereo amp ? I would get the Dan D'Agostino Momentum M400 monoblock power amps or the Momentum stereo power amp with the Momentum linestage preamp. This will be a great upgrade path. | |
| Surround Sound Amp and Processor What kind of B&W 804 do you have? The 804 D3, 804 D2, 804 D1 or 804 N or 804 S? What kind of stereo preamp and power amp are you using right now? So let me get this right, you are only doing 5.1 setup, correct? And you already have a separate ... | |
| 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. |
