| 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... | |
| Integrated Amp or Receiver suggestion for Prestige 95Fs I think the Naim Uniti Nova should have no problem driving the Paradigm Prestige 95F. For my smaller bedroom setup I have the Naim Uniti Nova paired with the Sonus Faber Olympica 1 bookshelf (standmount) speakers and they are fantastic together. T... | |
| Integrated Amp or Receiver suggestion for Prestige 95Fs Get the Hegel integrated amp either the 360 or higher like the 590. | |
| Focal Sopra 2 I had heard the Utopia Grande (over $200k/pair) driven by the Naim Statement NAP S1 monoblock amps + Naim Statement NAC S1 linestage analog preamp before and those were the best I've heard. They also had very high end flagship Naim 500 series stre... | |
| How Are Rotel Preamps? +1 on the Rotel RC-1590 preamp has a good built-in DAC. You also should sell your RB-1080 power amp and get the current model RB-1582 Mk2 power amp or the RB-1590 power amp. The RB-1582 Mk2 is a replacement of the RB-1080. The RB-1582 Mk2 sounded ... | |
| Speaker recommendation for Home Theater Or instead of getting the Musical Fidelity M6Si integrated for your stereo needs and the Marantz AV8802/8805 HT processor for HT or surround sound movies, I would recommend the Classe Sigma SSP av preamp processor, which is optimized for stereo. I... | |
| MidFi multi channel solution needed for HT. Which Morrow Audio cables are you comparing it to? | |
| Best amp options between $2k-$4 to power Magnepan 1.7? +1 on the Parasound Halo A21 stereo power amp. This is a great amp especially for the money. Also consider the big Rotel RB-1590 stereo power amp, which is also great and very powerful and will drive your Maggies with ease. Either one of these amp... |
