| Subs on stands I've been using SubDudes for years. Really tightens up the bass on suspended floors. I also use a bass manger that provides room correction. | |
| Recommended receiver for HT 1 & 2 probably full range; 3 not yet taken to LA | |
| New KEF Reference 5 speakers I was astonished by the improvement when I moved a pair of LS50s into a different room. Room acoustics are critical. I’m now using LS50s for HT and KEF 1s for music with excellent results. The Ref 1s are driven by Ayre 5 Twenty series digital hub,... | |
| Recommended receiver for HT Tim.The projector is not 4K, but I used the Oppo 205 with DirecTV and the video quality was excellent. I'll use the 205 with Cox when the M22 is installed next week. and reconnect the Velodyne SMS-1 and HGS-10s with crossover at 80 Hz with 4th or... | |
| Recommended receiver for HT Tim,The Cox receiver has HDMI that I'll take to the Oppo where it will be split into video and audio. Video will go directly to the projector, audio to the NAD amps. I'm pretty confident audio will be at least 5.1. When I wrote that Cox TV audi... | |
| Recommended receiver for HT Tim,1. That’s the setup I moved away from with the Parasound preamp and amps. The Ayre preamp and amp drive the KEF Ref 1s. I don’t want to use them to watch TV, so the HT and music setups are separate. How can you connect two amps to one speaker?... | |
| Recommended receiver for HT Tim,Both setups are in the same rack in the media room, but share no connections. Our living room has a music setup comprised of a microRendu/Ayre Codex combination that sources files from Roon, and an Ayre A7e integrated amp (remotely selectable... | |
| Recommended receiver for HT I ordered a pair of NAD C 268s to replace the Parasound A 23s for driving KEF LS50s side and rear surrounds. So the lineup for HT will be Cox TV, Oppo 205, NAD M22 and C 268 driving 6 LS50s, and pairs of Velodyne HGS-15s and 10s with SMS-1 bass ma... | |
| Recommended receiver for HT Tim,We live in Montecito, a small town adjacent to Santa Barbara , where combating global warming is taken very seriouosly. From the photo used for the listing it appears to be a later version M22 with multiple screened ventilation ports in the t... | |
| Need a Roon, Wifi, DAC Expert Please! Not an expert, just reporting experience.I use Netgear mesh modules to provide ethernet to an Ayre QX-5 Twenty digital hub and to a microRendu/Ayre Codex. Both setups show 192 when a 192/24 file is sent by Roon. I think Roon does only the first un... | |
| Recommended receiver for HT Tim,I'm not certain Cox TV is only 2 channel. I've been taking HDMI directly to the projector and RCA to either an Audio Engine 2+ or NAD C 328. With DirecTV I took HDMI to an Oppo that split it into 7.1 audio and video HDMI outputs. I'll reins... | |
| Recommended receiver for HT Tim,I read several rave reviews of the NAD M22 this afternoon. Your recommendation pushed me over the threshold to buy a demo unit offered on Audiogon for $1400. Current Cox TV is 2 channel, so surround would be limited to Blu-ray and SACD. I’m st... | |
| Recommended receiver for HT What about a NAD M22 amp for front LR LS50s? Then add multichannel Class D amp for surround and rears. | |
| Recommended receiver for HT Tim,Class D amps are an attractive alternative to the A 23s. Can you recommend specific models of Nord or Wyred 4 Sound. I'm not going to reinstall a center channel, so it's 2, 4, or 6 channels of amplification driving 8Ω LS50s.db | |
| Recommended receiver for HT After restarting my memory function, I recalled I have tired the LS50s with an A 23 amp and thought the sound a bit wimpy. LS50s with an A21 sounded fine, and they would undoubtedly sound fine with the JC 1 monoblocks. Tim, you're trying to move... |
