| Cambridge Audio Azur 640H You can't swap hardrives as far as I know, but you can add any number of USB externals and make backup files.If the HD fails send it to Audio Plus for replacement or possible rebooting I guess.Once you get a significant amount of music back it up ... | |
| Pick your poison...2-channel or multi? Absolutely!:)Funny thing unlike many, you pretty much own the right equipment, except the SF center channel does not work like it should BUT its serviceable.If you brought the rears back and afforded me a GP Homie for a center channel, I am CERTAI... | |
| Pick your poison...2-channel or multi? Let me help out a little with this thread,First of all if you want a mediocre surround system, build it from the left and right speakers. Its not how you do it. You can sell it that way but you don't design it that way. The processor is almost as ... | |
| Pick your poison...2-channel or multi? Don't you mean a $6000 multichannel system and a $14,000 two channel system?That is a more fair distribution of $20K in this contest.See the 6K/14K causes a real problem because with some luck I could sell my $14,000 two channel system to some uns... | |
| which is better for home theater None of them,All of them unnecessarily expensive. Like having a 600hp Honda Civic, a silly novelty.You won't need all that power, you could easily slide down the same lines and maintain the same quality.Aerial 20T's are bad for home theater becaus... | |
| When is digital going to get the soul of music? Well take all my comments as a collective up to now Dynamic range, surround sound etc. They all contribute.LP's have technical problems that make them somewhat problematic for surround BUT even they could be enhanced by surround. Atleast the compa... | |
| Why is 2 Channel better than multi-channel? Asin,"it is not as forward or details perhaps due to the loss of resolution on multichannel format."Actually your brain cannot focus as well on the "little" details that are really unimportant in the end because you are immerssed in such a large s... | |

| Cambridge audio for two channel The series 2 is excellent with more control over the setup you can usually exceed its two channel performance by using DPLII. On two channel CD the results are adequate but the upgraded multi-channel facilities elevate CD playback to a higher leve... | |
| A/V Processors, What are we waiting for? ExtronKey DigitalKramerAll make adequate switchers, all different enough that one may be perfect for you. | |
| panels vs cones which is best and why ? Many (not all) panels ring, they have poor damping qualities, negating the faster rise time. Also most "panel" speakers overshoot on transients making them edgy and unrealistic sounding and bright. Stock Maggies can be this way but never to where ... | |
| A/V Processors, What are we waiting for? HDMI and HDCP-----how can you "upgrade" to a technology that doesn't work?FYI: HDMI still does not operate at its original specification. A travesty that no one wants to talk about.Just buy an outboard video processor/switcher...ideally a matrix s... | |
| What speakers use a "minimal" crossover? (the simplest type, except for no crossover)2.3's have about 23 components for each speaker, but "simple" is subjective. :)Quad ESL's"that apparantly used a very simple, minimalist, first order crossover design...a resistor or capasitor or somethi... | |
