| Upgrade from Classe SSP 800 processor @soix Thanks for the advise.Yes I read great stuff about the MP-50. It is in my short list and it decodes Dolby Atmos & DTS-X that's the most important thing. That's the major reason I want to get rid of my Classe SSP 800 processor cause it do... | |
| Upgrade from Classe SSP 800 processor @rshad0000 I am also considering the Lyngdorf MP-50 as well as the Datasat RS20i, Trinnov Altitude 16 or 18, Theta Casablanca lVa, and possibly the Meridian Reference 861 v8. But not sure if the Meridian Ref 861 v8 has been updated to accommodate ... | |
| Upgrade from Classe SSP 800 processor @pattemf132I am also considering the Anthem AVM60. Heard great things about its ARC2. Great room correction calibration is paramount in home theater (surround / multi-channels) setup environment. This will be used strictly for home theater in my d... | |
| Opinions on best integrated under 10k? Highly consider the Naim Uniti Nova. It is a digital streamer, DAC, integrated amp all in a single chassis. It retails for $7500 brand new. It will drive your speakers with ease and sounded highly musical. Has superb streamer and DAC. Has built-in... | |
| Recommendations for HT processor with HT bypass @lorenc1You will need an analog stereo preamp that has HT bypass not the other way around. So this HT bypass input on the stereo analog preamp simply would bypass volume control and internal audio circuitry in the stereo preamp and use the volume ... | |
| krell foundation 4k vs. classe sigma ssp mkii @ht4meI still own the Classe SSP 800 paired with all Classe Delta series class AB amps with all new B&W 800 D3 series speaker sysyem in my dedicated HT room. I love the SSP 800 sounded phenomenal for both surrounds (home theater) and stereo. B... | |
| Integrating an Oppo 205 into system and need pre-amp and connection advice I forgot to add the Anthem AVM60 pre pro ($3k). This is an absolute steal. Its ARC2 (Anthem Room Correction) is regarded one of the best and it really works very well and way outperforms the Audyssey Advance Pro used in the Marantz AV8802/8805. Th... | |
| Integrating an Oppo 205 into system and need pre-amp and connection advice What is your budget for a new pre pro (preamp processor)? Besides the Krell Foundation and the Marantz AV8802/8805, I would highly recommend getting the following pre pros :* Bryston SP3 ($9500 brand new). It lacks room EQ but excellent sounding p... | |
| hegel h80 or rotel 1570 If you want to get the Rotel integrated amp, you should get the RA-1592 ($2500). The RA-1592 is a big step up sonically from the RA-1570. I didn't like the RA-1570. I've never listened to any Hegel products before but always heard great things abo... | |
| Amplifier ideas with KEF Reference 1 @keoliphant OPSince this is for your somewhat small office (10x14) imo the Naim Unity Nova would be your best choice and it will sound good on the KEF. At $7500 it’s a steal and it is all-in-one box solution and does not run hot like your PS Audio... | |
| Amplifier ideas with KEF Reference 1 @keoliphant Classe isn’t out of business. B&W Group, which previously owned Classe, has recently sold Classe off to Sound United Group in January 2018. Sound United Group also owns Denon, Marantz, Definitive Technology, Polk Audio, Boston Acou... | |
| Amplifier ideas with KEF Reference 1 @keoliphant If you can find a pair of Classe Delta CAM 600 monoblock amps try to have a listen to these amps in your own setup and system. These amps have been discontinued last year and few Classe dealers might still have them on display or in b ... | |
| MA9000 VS MA8900 Mavvrik, It all comes down to system synergy after all. You will need to demo different integrated amps with your speakers in your own listening room if you can take home demo that would be ideal, and go from there. Pick the one you think sounds b... | |
| Rotel RMB-1575 a good match for B&W CM10's? The Rotel RMB-1585 (class AB) isn’t based on older class AB design and is very capable amp and can handle low impedance loads with ease. Very dynamic amplifier with massive headroom. Dynamically it is on par with the Classe Sigma Amp5. The Rotel R... | |
| Rotel RMB-1575 a good match for B&W CM10's? In regards to class D amps lacking bottom end oomph......imo not all class D amps perform or sound the same. Class D amps or digital amplifiers have come a long way and the class D or digital amplifier technology have greatly improved over time. I... |
