| Cambridge 851A vs Marantz PM8006 Go listen to both in your own setup and system and you are the only one who can decide whixh one you prefer using your own speakers in your own setup and listening room environment. What are your speakers and front end source components(s)?It’s al... | |
| Amp/Preamps vs. High end AV Receivers @terrancej If you only add a power amp and use your Onkyo receiver as a preamp processor/DAC you won’t be able to achieve optimal improvement in performance cause you’ll still be using your Onkyo receiver as preamp processor & DAC. Preamp proc... | |
| Need Preamp and Amp to Match Vandersteen 3A Signature Speakers Audio Research preamp & amp. | |
| Apple vs Amazon @audioengr ALAC should be better than MP3 imo, higher sampling rates and bit depths.MP3 is the lowest quality. | |
| Amp/Preamps vs. High end AV Receivers @atmasphere I have no doubt that even modest speakers would benefit from high end electronics and cablings but some of the posters here earlier suggested the Gryphon Diablo integrated and some suggested Vitus Audio these are $20k+ worth of integra... | |
| Amp/Preamps vs. High end AV Receivers The OP just stated that 2 channel is not his priority and he's using his system for mostly surrounds. | |
| Roksan K3 2-Channel Power Amp vs Anthem PVA4 (Bi-Amp) IMO there’s no point of bi-amping your speakers unless if your speakers have active crossover. And your MA Gold 100 have passive crossover. The Roksan will be able to drive your MA Gold 100 just fine. The NAD M22 is highly regarded by many reviewe... | |
| Amp/Preamps vs. High end AV Receivers Guys, the OP has 5.1 setup that he uses for both surround sound movies and stereo music playbacks. He only has modest and mediocre B&W CM8 front speakers with a matching center speaker and the B&W CM5 standmount speakers for surrounds. He ... | |
| Amp/Preamps vs. High end AV Receivers For your speaker surround system you don't really need AV separates cause they will cost you more. Just get a very good and very competent av receiver.Get the Rotel RAP-1580 av receiver for your B&W speaker surround system. The Rotel will pair... | |
| MidFi multi channel solution needed for HT. The Rotel will pair better with your B&W. | |
| Gryphon Diablo 300: at the top of Integrated Amps? +1 on the T&A. Dan D'Agostino Momentum integrated. | |
| Why are my SF Venere S Speakers not sounding as warm? @tice34 You should upgrade your electronic. Your Marantz SR6012 AV receiver is holding back the performance of your system. It is far from ideal pairing with your SB Veneer S speakers. You should make efforts upgrading from your Marantz SR6012 av ... | |
| MBL no SACD player? Seems like many European high end audio manufacturers do not make SACD players any longer just for CD playbacks only. MBL, Tidal, Burmester, Gamut, Vitus Audio, T&A to name a few. They only make standalone CD players strictly for CD playbacks ... | |
| Why are my SF Venere S Speakers not sounding as warm? @tice34 First let me ask you this : are you only doing stereo setup for listening to music only or surrounds for both HT and stereo music? Cause you are using the Marantz SR6012 av receiver so I automatically assumed that you have a surround syste... | |
| Roksan K3 2-Channel Power Amp vs Anthem PVA4 (Bi-Amp) Go with the Roksan.Roksan makes better stereo audio gears and amps than the Anthem. They are more musical than the Anthem. |
