| Proceed AMP-2 & AMP-3 operating temps The bias may be off on the 2 channel amp as these amps do run warm. The higher bias ones should sound a little better so you could use the 3 channel to run the front 3 speakers. | |
| Possible to use sub without preamp? You can use a sub that has a speaker level hook up like the REL that is designed to sound best that way. You would run them in parallel without any degradation. The REL will actually emulate the sound of your amp to make it seamless. You can use M... | |
| Amp for Quad ESL 57 I would look for a Berning as well. Another great choice would be an Atmashere.An old pair of Futtermann's LOL | |
| cat jl3 signatures vs. atmashere ma2III's The Atmashere is lusher and more musical. I am a huge CAT fan but their pre-amp is way better than their amp. The CAT amp is thin and doesn't have any drive. | |
| which technology really has the best picture Hello Again,I am responding because you gave me more info to go and because the post from Rlwainwright was incorrect.Plasma is the best choice when there is a lot of light and you want to be bigger than 42".LCD has the least amount of reflectivity... | |
| which technology really has the best picture Hello,The best is still the tube TV but after that it has to do with the environment you are putting the TV in, how good the scalar and optics are, how it is calibrated, and if the technology you choose is designed to be price sensitive or built f... | |
| Do I need Pro Logic IIx? I hope a lot of people that know me on here see this thread because they will vouch that A. I don't read reviews nor use them to sell.B. I recommend things I don't sell all the time and every week I tell someone that a certain product I carry that... | |
| Anyone listen to the Bel Canto e.One S300i amp??? Hello Once Again,My criticism of the Bel Canto's sound is based on sound not the fact that it is digital. In my post near the top I admitted that the Rotel sounded smooth and refined and I said it was the best amp Rotel has ever made.Because the M... | |
| Do I need Pro Logic IIx? Forgot to say that I run the center chanel .5 db down because most movies are too hot in the center and I adjust the xover on the subs in 2 Hz increments and are usually riding between 24 and 32 Hz.Thanks,Duane | |
| Do I need Pro Logic IIx? Hello Again,After calculating room nodes and finding out how many people will be in the room most often and correcting construction material issues, (mismatched density issues in walls and ceilings), I find out listening levels and habits.I then m... | |
| 2.1 Speaker suggestions Hello Again,All the brands I mentioned have on wall or in wall solutions designed for that application.Thanks,Duane | |
| Classe CP-60 vs. CP-50 Hello,They sound a lot alike with the 60 sounding more dynamic. The 60 may be worth the extra money if you are using a nice turntable because it is a little quieter.They are some of the best sounding solid state pre-amps out there with holding the... | |
| recommended IC cables for Stax earspeakers Hello,You want copper over silver with the exception of Synergistic cables. The Stax are very fast with a little sizzle at the top and silver cables like Nordost would turn your Stax into Klipsch.Best cables would be the Nobius built by Intuitive ... | |
| 2.1 Speaker suggestions Hello,If you don't have a lot of experience I suggest that you find a respected local dealer. Most internet only companies do promise more than they can deliver and even if they do give you a good product it makes a bigger difference to make sure ... | |
| Do I need Pro Logic IIx? Hello Again,We will agree to disagree, plus I don't feel like typing 30 pages and boring everyone including myself.I am chiming in again to say that the Rotel is pretty good, the 1068 sounds as good if not better than the 1098. I still think Arcam... |
