Denon DVD-5900 vs DVD-3910
If you don't mind I would like to know how the audio compared between the Denon 9000, 3910, 5900, and the 5910?I heard the 5910 is like the 9000 in audio but which is better? 
Revel B 15 sub,crossover question
I would set the Revel B15 subs to use a second preamp out instead of the high pass filters. I would rather have less in my speaker connections. I have wood floors on pier and beam. My original down firing sub caused more rattles at lower volumes t... 
HT Preamp-Processors w/ Balanced inputs & outputs
I bought an older Krell HTS 5.1 not the Showcase. It has great sound and does most of what I need for movies. They can be had on Audiogon for $1500.00. They are balanced all around. I am running balanced to my Krell Showcase amp and unbalanced wit... 
Power conditioners for amplifiers
Just have an electrician swap the panel out for a bigger one. I had to do that at my other house. It was not that expensive. In my current house which are square D breakers they were able to replace one single slot breaker with a single slot dual ... 
Revel B15 Second Sub Question
I have stacked the B15 and all is well. They are both in one corner with a wall which would catch the top one should it decide to fall. I started listening with one B15 and it is very good but two are so much better. I programmed the bottom one to... 
Best DVD for my System
I don’t think Blu Ray is in my immediate future until all the movies and rental places switch. I need NetFlix, BlockBuster, and MovieShops to have Blu Ray. I do not buy many DVDs compared to my CDs.To me the sound is more important than the video.... 
if you had 2500,what player stands out????
I also have Sonic Frontiers preamp (SFL2). I use Mark Levinson 36s DAC and a 37 transport. The sound is great. I would highly recommend them. I am working on 2000 CDs. I don’t think I will ever sell neither my CDs nor my Mark Levinson gear. I thou... 
What's the best CD/DVD player under $1000?
I just bought a Denon DVD-9000 for my home theater system. I am very happy with the quality of the sound for under a $1000.00 on Audiogon. 
Best DVD for my System
I ended up buying a Denon DVD-9000. I am using an old Kimber ADGL digital cable I had lying around. I feel like it is a good match sound wise but I am open to suggestions. How does this player compare to some of the other DVD players sound wise? T... 
Amp for Krell HTS 5.1 processor
Well I bought a Krell Showcase 5 amp off Audiogon. It is a great little amp. The sound is good. It does not put off a lot of heat at idle. Turning it on with the TV is not an issue. I think it would drive most any little speaker. I have it driving... 
Audiophile multi-channel amp?
Krell Showcase 5 used on Audiogon. Great little amp. 
Revel B15 Second Sub Question
My manual recommends stacking as one option on page 11 down at the bottom of the page. I wonder if there are more than one version of the B15 manual. Of course my manual does not explain how to stack the units. I don't have enough room in my corne... 
Fishing for Speakers with Krell HTS5.1 &Showcase 5
There is one more issue with my room. The back speakers need to set on a builtin cabinet. There is not really room for floor standing speakers in the rear. Also I am looking for a good full sounding center speaker which can set on top of a very la... 
Speakers to hang on to for LIFE
I have owned two pair of speakers in my life. The first pair were MacIntosh ML1's bought in 1973. I used the Macs until I bought a pair of B&W 801 Matrix II about 10 years ago. I just keep thinking I am going to upgrade my speakers, but I find... 
Bi-wire speaker cable for B&W Matrix 3's
I ran a double run of Kimber 8TC between my BW801 series2 and my Aragon 4004 for 4 years. It was a very good cable set. My Sonic Frontiers SFL-2 preamp connected with Kimber KCAG. This was a great combo. I have since changed my amp to Sonic Fronti...
