Bi-amp through receiver vs pre out to 2 channel for fronts
Craig, sorry, I came off way to strongly.  I"m sure you can understand why I posted what I did and again, sorry.  I just hate when anyone chases things, especially new folks. YES, you are overwhelmed.  That's the reason I said to go get any of the...

chargerfan44 posts08-13-2018 1:50pmAlso, regarding the rumor out there about speaker cables, the prototypeof the Storm series cables was being demonstrated at a few selectdealerships two years ago. One of those I believe was Audio Connectionin New... 
Green Mountain Audio Chroma HX Review
I've liked the Devore Fidelity Nines more than either of their Orangoutang's. when I've auditioned them.   
Chord Dave or Ayre QX5 Twenty DAC???
Not yet as I wanted a different DAC and Stealth caps as well as a few other things.  As for TMP, I've heard it in a few systems now and it's crazy good as a server alone.  Just very relaxed with incredible timing.  It's by far the best digital I'v...

Craig, when did you get to audition the Atoll?  How did it compare to the affordable NAD?  Did it do something better to YOUR ears than the Belles or the ......  keep adding switches and patches so you lose the performance you are allegedly lookin...

Thanks for sharing Charger.  I've got Thunder on order for the Quatro's.  Which connector did they put on them?  I assume the older one that was on the NRG?

Charger, I didn't think that AQ wanted the Garth speaker cable deal out in public yet, but I guess it is ;) ....yes, preliminarily, the speaker cables will be game changers too.  Garth knowns what he's doing for sure.I wonder if I need a special c...

sfcfran56 posts08-10-2018 7:11pmI am not a big integrated amp guy. It is my observation that the best audio comes from separate pre-amp and amp combo. In that, you will need to budget for interconnects as well. Not Monster Cable...please don't.... 
Chord Dave or Ayre QX5 Twenty DAC???
And for many of us, it's just better tonally. Dave is nice as you said, but from top to bottom, the QX5/20 is a better DAC and not just for cost savings.  I do like and have owned Chord products, so I'm in no way putting them down at all.  All com... 
Bi-amp through receiver vs pre out to 2 channel for fronts
AVR's are not serious audio gear.  Even the expensive ones are not as good as a good integrated or separate. They are made to be something for everyone.  Most of the things on them aren't ever used by 90% of the listeners.  Thats' reality.  There ... 
Bi-amp through receiver vs pre out to 2 channel for fronts
Thanks @soix   Guys, there is more to things than a transformer etc... There is no simple post that can tell you WHY AVR's sux (sorry to Anthem and other more expensive ones), but you suck too (hope I didn't step on toes, but I know I will).  As I... 
Green Mountain Audio Chroma HX Review
Renter, I guess that's fair.  I would have jumped in actually. I did the same on another thread on another site a couple of weeks ago.  Someone made a very similar statement about Wilson and Magico and I did say teh same thing. I try to be constan... 
Bi-amp through receiver vs pre out to 2 channel for fronts
Save for an integrated amp that is good. you want something that will push good current and a clean signal.  You can't patch work through a system. That's what keeps AG in business, lol.  It's why folks are always chasing their tails to get what t...

guys, AQ will terminate the cables to fit the Quatro on up. You just have to ask them.   
What speakers work well against a wall
Don, normally I'd agree, but things seem to have changed a bit.  I have Vandersteen Quatro's and they set them up in the very corner of the room and I'm getting great staging.  Very realistic.  It's all rooms and system dependent.
