| 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... | |
| Amp for LS50 Good quality amplification (not necessarily big power output) will make your LS50 perform optimally. The LS50 need good quality amplification and upstream electronics, as somebody has already suggested here, in order to hear what these speakers ar... | |
| Naim Uniti Star/Nova and Turntable @mbroadus Yes you can still play SACD on your Oppo 205 and connect your Oppo via stereo analog out to the Naim Uniti Nova. So you will be using the Naim Uniti as an analog integrated amp when playing SACD from the Oppo 205. | |
| Gryphon vs Swiss solid state amps and preamps. And integrateds. Gryphon is awesome. Yup. I totally forgot about Vitus Audio. | |
| MidFi multi channel solution needed for HT. Unless you upgrade your speakers IMO the Rotel or the NAD alike will be sufficient enough for your current speakers. There are many good cables out there. Audioquest, Transparent, Kimber Cable, Nordost, Shunyata Research, Chord Cable to name a few... |
