| Do well-intentioned people move your speakers? Do well-intentioned people move your speakers? Only once! After that they don't do much of anything...Ok seriously, my speakers are too heavy to casually move. I am more worried or them getting damaged by a housekeeper or guests as I don't leave t... | |
| Squeeze Box Love'n'hate I agree with Cytocycle. If you are Mac person and/or want Mac like simplicity in sound streaming device, then Sonos is a good solution.It is so simple. I had the Sonos connected to my network and playing music in about 5 minutes.For those that wan... | |
| Anyone heard the new Krell S-1000 pre/pro Jrunr,I own the Halcro, and I have heard the S-1000 several times at my local dealer with the same speakers and similar amp to what I have.To my ears they are very similar both having good bass and fine detail in the mids and highs. I think audibl... | |
| Anyone try and compare the Halcro SSP 100 or 80? Henry, The new Krell only does HDMI video, no Audio. It does sound very nice and I think your idea of using something like a Zektor switch would open up your possibilites. My Halcro SSP-100 is in the shop right now, but when I get it back, my dela... | |
| Anyone try and compare the Halcro SSP 100 or 80? EandJ, What are you using the SSP-100 to scale? I tried to let is upscale the Component signal from my SA 8300HD cable box, and it looked miserable. That may be because it had to go from component to HDMI out of the Halcro, and to up-res from 480a... | |
| Anyone try and compare the Halcro SSP 100 or 80? Henry, I can only speak about the Halcro. It has HDMI video scaling and switching capability. The scaler is not very good, and many people just use it as a video switcher. For HDMI Audio, the Halco will do DD, DTS, and only 2CH High-Res. So, if yo... | |
| How good is the CD Playback on a Toshiba HD-DVD? Nshashidhar, I don't know either of these players well enough to tell you if the HD-DVD could adequately replace the other units. I would keep the SACD, because personally, I would hate to give it up. The HD-DVD player does well with HD-DVDs and S... | |
| How good is the CD Playback on a Toshiba HD-DVD? George, Did you play a CD in you HD-DVD player yet or are you still giving opinions without basis? If you haven't played a CD yet in the HD-DVD, I am confused why you are offering an opinion. If you have, let us know so we can take your feedback m... | |
| Anyone heard the new Krell S-1000 pre/pro Wow, so there is one set of 7.1 Analog inputs and no Hi-Res MCH Digital inputs. You can't even hook up a MCH SACD player and HD-DVD player at the same time.So much for Krell delivering an up-to-date Prepro. | |
| Anyone heard the new Krell S-1000 pre/pro From what I read in the manual this only does HDMI Video, and no HDMI Audio. I see little advantage in this.We could use an HST 7.1 and a Monoproce switcher and get the same results, no?It took Krell forever to come out with a unit that only does ... | |
| How good is the CD Playback on a Toshiba HD-DVD? Nshashidhar, I have actually played CDs in my HD-A1 player, and disagree with George's guesses, to a point. I don't know what kind of CD player you are used to, so even though I have played CDs in my HD-A1 we have no common comparison that I know ... | |
| Anyone try and compare the Halcro SSP 100 or 80? Pramod, I tried using the Balanced Inputs on the SSP-100 and get no sound from my sub. I verified this with 2 different sources (via test tones) and I loaded Avia and confirmed. With Balanced Inputs, I get no sound from the sub, and it appears the... | |
| Help Choosing B&W Speakers Lmb54, I am using the HTM1, 803S, 804S combo and it sounds great. If you are coming from 802D fronts, I think going below the 803S will be a yough adjustment. The 803S have enough bass and a full sound to get you by. ;-)Regards,Darrell | |
| Prepro for B&W/Krell combo? Distortion, The Bryston gets ggod reviews. It's almost enough to make me drop the XLR input as a "Must-Have" item. But, all the 1.7s I see are $2850+shipping, so they are about $400 out of my prices range. still, if I can find one locally, I will ... | |
| Prepro for B&W/Krell combo? Likecap, It looks like the Halo C2 has the specs I need. I will try to find one locally to audition.Thanks,Darrell |
