Your original reply said" The Market can best be divided by the Japanese brands with every feature under the sun and having decent to good sound qualityvs.American and European brands, Arcam, Audiocontr... | |
| Like female vocals - Check out Cold Specks jetson,Thanks for sharing. I always Iike to hear new voices, and this one sounds like a keeper. JD | |
| So I'm looking to rebuild the home theater system So I talked with Buzz at Crutchfield. He agreed that the Yamaha RX-A1070 would be a good choice for me, then he mentioned that a model 1080 is coming out soon. He said the only difference would be Amazon Alexa. He also hinted that I should wait... | |
| So I'm looking to rebuild the home theater system auxinput,So far the Yam RX -A1070 is number one on my list. Gonna have another talk with Crutchfield sometime this week. Still have some wifi questions, but the spec's look great.JD | |
| So I'm looking to rebuild the home theater system You are VERY right. I just went to Crutchfield and they only had 5 units to choose from! Wow, I had no idea! JD | |
| So I'm looking to rebuild the home theater system auxinput, Thanks for the answer. In the old days leaving a channel with out a load was a bad thing. And as I just said, I thinking more and more about sticking with a 5.1 setup.Going to start over my search. BTW, I agree about the different soun... | |
| So I'm looking to rebuild the home theater system phil9624 and audiotroy,There more I think about it, I'll probably never go past 5.1. I'm going to start looking at just 5.1 receivers. I still want the wifi etc. Does that put a wrench in things? Almost everything seems to be 7.2 - 15.2. And I ... | |
| So I'm looking to rebuild the home theater system audiotroy,phil9624 got mt to thinkin'. If you don't use all the channels, do you need to put a load on them? ie, only using 5.1 on a 9.1 unit.Thanks.JD | |
| So I'm looking to rebuild the home theater system Hi phil9624,So I just took a moment to check out the Yammy you mentioned. All looked good except one review about 4K being a problem. I will look into that issue more. JD | |
| So I'm looking to rebuild the home theater system phil9624LOL,I'm using a Sony - DE445, a pair of Klispch RF3ii's and subwoofer from Cambridge Audio. As I said before, I'm at least 15 yyears out of date on all this. So far we bought the TV and the 4K Blueray this year. I'll check out the Yamm... | |
| The big DAC decision LOL,Maybe if they were really high end.JD | |
| So I'm looking to rebuild the home theater system Hi phil9624,This system is going to be mostly for video. My TV is less than a year old so I can stream most apps already. (Don't need the Roku anymore). So the Sony X800 will handle most all of my other video needs, I think. The house I'm in for... | |
| So I'm looking to rebuild the home theater system audiotroy,All very good ideas, and I do have a streaming question. If a receiver is hooked up to my lan, can I use a NAS to stream my own collection ? And is there a device to make a 15 year old receiver wireless? IE, something to plug into a aux... | |
| So I'm looking to rebuild the home theater system audiotroy,You're correct about the 2 sides, but for this, money, sound and a few bells and whistles are king. Btw, what is up scaling video and is it anything to make a priority? Thanks.JD | |
| So I'm looking to rebuild the home theater system esthlos13,This isn’t going to be a job for a processor and amp. By the time I buy both, I’ll be over my limit and won’t have any left for interconnects. LOL But really, for now I’m just going receivers.Thanks.JD |
