| Attention Manufacturers: What I want is a TINY HT processor! From time to time the earlier or first version of the Classe Sigma SSP can be found in used markets for less than $3k used or perhaps around $2500 ish used. This is the first early version of the Sigma SSP which did retail for $5k, and this model ... | |
| Attention Manufacturers: What I want is a TINY HT processor! @erik_squires You should listen to the Classe Sigma SSP if 2ch is important to you while wanting to get a very good multi-channel performances as well. And it is compact in size. | |
| Gryphon vs Swiss solid state amps and preamps. And integrateds. Don't get me wrong, the Gryphon is spectacular but so are some other high end gears. The D'Agostino Momentum is awesome too. CH Precision, Soulution, Tidal, MBL, Pass Labs, Gamut, Chord to name a few are also spectacular. | |
| Is Marantz AV8805 good enough pre amp for McIntosh MC8207 Yes you definitely need to upgrade your speakers from the B&W 683 S2, especially now that you have the Mac C52/MC462 combo for your stereo listening to music. You can move up B&W line such as the 803 D3 or the 802 D3 and they will sound ve... | |
| Attention Manufacturers: What I want is a TINY HT processor! The Classe Sigma SSP processor is small compact and short and sounds really good for stereo music. It doesn't take up much space at all. This is probably one of the smallest HT processor I've ever seen and it is only 7.1 channel processor. And the... | |
| Gryphon vs Swiss solid state amps and preamps. And integrateds. Why are biased towards non Swiss products? | |
| Amp for LS50 Get the Rotel RA-1592 stereo integrated amp ($2500 new) it has built-in DAC. Also consider the Musical Fidelity M5si I integrated amp ($2k ish new) or the M6si integrated amp for $3k new. These will pair really well with the KEF LS50. | |
| Is Marantz AV8805 good enough pre amp for McIntosh MC8207 Congrats on the purchases. | |
| Accuphase Vs Parasound The Naim separate streamer + DAC + integrated will be on another league of sonic quality and musicality than the Parasound. Naim is much superior sounding than the Parasound. The Parasound will have more power. | |
| Naim Uniti Star/Nova and Turntable @mbroadus You will be much more satisfied with the Nova than the Star or the Atom. The Nova is overall better sounding unit than the other two but costs more than the other two. The Nova currently retails for $7500, it was $7k but it’s gone up to ... | |
| Naim Uniti Star/Nova and Turntable The Naim Uniti Nova is an excellent musical sounding all-in-one box solution. I am also a fan of Naim Audio. | |
| MidFi multi channel solution needed for HT. You don't need to change fuse for the Rotel RMB-1585. Did you get the RMB-1585 or the RMB-1575? The RMB-1585 is a great amp especially for the money. | |
| Speaker recommendation for Home Theater The Classe CT SSP/SSP 800 is spectacular. I owned the SSP 800, which is basically the same as the CT SSP, for almost 8 years until recently. Now I have the Lyngdorf MP-50 cause I want Dolby Atmos, DTS-X & Auro 3D and the Classe SSP 800 does no... | |
| Naim Uniti Star/Nova and Turntable I have the Naim Uniti Nova in my bedroom setup paired with the Sonus Faber Olympica 3 standmount speakers. Very musical sounding unit. I highly recommend the Nova! However, I do not have a turntable in this bedroom setup. I simply use the Nova to ... | |
| Looking for a piece to complement my Parasound Halo A21 Get the Rotel RMB-1585 class AB five-channel amp. It’s way better than your Rotel RMB-1565 class D amp. Rotel class D amps are total failures. If you want to get Rotel you will have to go with their class AB amps such as the RMB-1585. Night and da... |
