| 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... | |
| Recommended receiver for HT I think I've decided to try the pair of Parasound A 23s with KEF LS50s in 4.1 with or without the Bryston SP-3, using Cox TV and the Oppo 105D or 205 as sources. I already have all the pieces for the proposed setup. If I'm satisfied with the A 2... | |
| Recommended receiver for HT miller carbon, The stereo setup is Ayre 5 Twenty series digital hub, preamp, and amp with KEF Ref 1s. Source is mostly Roon playing downloaded, ripped, Qobuz and Tidal files, with occasional discs spun on the Ayre DX-5 DSD.auxinput, The Bryston SP... | |
| What should I use to convert FLAC files to AIFF? I think dBpoweramp can do that. | |
| Where are the subs? Tim, light from projection can splash beyond the screen. The purpose of the dark carpet (could be dark non-reflective paint) is to control that splash. We achieve a superb 100" video image. I’ve boxed up all the stuff for surround, but four LS50s ... | |
| Where are the subs? @clio09, Charles Hansen had warned against inserting the active Bryston 10B crossover between the Ayre preamp and amp, and it turned out for good reason. The sense of the music flowing without electronic intervention was compromised. Ayre places... | |
| Where are the subs? Tim, the speakers are on the 14' wall, an HGS-15 in each corner, an HGS-10 behind each speaker. The carpet on the wall and ceiling are for video projection, not audio.Tony, as I understand your suggestion for Casa Dorinda the audio chain would be... | |
| Where are the subs? Tim,I appreciate your advice. Tony’s visit is motivation to haul the HGs-15s to LA for repair. As I’m sure you’re aware, an SMS-1 emits a series of pulses through the subs that are captured by its microphone, evaluated, and equalization applied th... | |
| Where are the subs? I'd enjoy a visit from you. I have two setups: (1) Ayre 5 Twenty series digital hub, preamp, and amp with KEF Ref 1s, and (2) Senore microRendu, Ayre Codex, and Ayre A7e amp with LS50s. Lots of Parasound stuff boxed to sell; beginning to wonder ... | |
| Where are the subs? Tim, I will have my HGS-15s repaired, but it takes planning. I’m 83, so I need help to put them in the back of the station wagon, then they need to be hauled to LA within a day or so, a two-hour drive from Santa Barbara. I have several SMS-1s, so ... | |
| Best Mods for a Mac-mini used as a Music Server I run Roon on a Mac Mini. Today I added a microRendu with CI power supply. It takes ethernet and outputs USB to an Ayre Codex connected to an Ayre A7e amp that drives a pair of KEF LS50s. The sound quality is excellent. Total cost of microRend... |
