| Silverline Sonata III vs. Coincident Total Eclipse Haven't compared them but, Coincident speakers are amazingly efficient with loads of bass. They will fill that room with 3 watts!Why curtain it off? It won't help/hurt acoustics unless your curtain is about a foot thick and still, the bass will di... | |
| Closed box, Port-less speakers Soliloquy Sat-5's are awesome but do need a sub. I honestly feel that with a sub, they rival the most expensive soliloquy speakers. | |
| Speaker specs: Sensitivity, & Amp match 90 db at 1 watt, at 1 meter from the speaker is how loud it will be. To carry that further:2 watts will equal 93db4 watts equal 96db8 watts 99db16 watts 102db32 watts 105db64 watts 108db128 watts 111db110db is THX level, 112db is ultra THXYou have... | |
| Preamp or Processor??? Use the pre-outs on your receiver right now to a nice tube amp. This will give you a taste of quality sound. If you really like that improvement, then go to a nicer pre/pro or a seperate stereo preamp.Keep in mind that even though many tube amps a... | |
| Best monitor against wall Soliloquy Sat-5's are meant to be against a wall. Use a pair of them with a nice sub and WOW! | |
| Best multi-channel pre-amp for music under $1000? I simply love my Anthem AVM-2. Definitely under $1k and awesome for stereo! | |
| budget remote preamp? I use 2 different ones, both of which draw a lot of attention: Vintage marantz 2216B and Old Pilot integrated with tuner and multiplexer. Can't get much better phono section that a pair of 12ax7 tubes for gain! | |
| Jolida JD100A Plain and simple, Underwood stands behind everything they sell. That should be quite important since the mods should void the manufacturer warranty. I would trust Wally any day to make things "right". Plus, Wally has good taste! | |
| Denon AVR 2803 vs Integra DTR 5.4 vs HK AVR 330 A lot depends on your speakers and sub. What do you have? Personally, I think the Denon sounds much better. Also, do you need multiroom? Again, the Denon is best. How many digital inputs do you need? That will make a difference.Finally, there are ... | |
| What's the diff. between preamps and processor? No, you don't need a pre-amp with digital decoding if your dvd has this decoding. HOWEVER, this will only work if you have 6 channel input into your pre-amp and want to run 6 interconnects. It's a heck of a lot easier to run a single digital cable. | |
| Please share views on Coincident MP 300B. Supposedly ASL makes the units for Coincident. However, I would bet that the Coincident amps come with better tubes. What about Cary amps?The total victorys are awesome. Keep in mind that they need 100+ hours to break in. | |
| Recommendation for marching, war classical music. What about John Philip Sousa work? | |
| DAC Help Why not a theta? I've had theta, CAL, Audio Alchemy, MF and more. The MF was wayyyyyy to dark for me. CAL & AA were both clean and open. Theta's are great, just a tad on the warm side. You can get most for less than $600 | |
| Is there a worthy 6922 presently made? My Golden Dragon gold pins sound every bit as good as Mullards. | |
| Soundproofing Hi-Rise Apt? Have you thought of something like Aura Bass Shakers? Not exactly audiophile but for theater, they would work great instead of a sub. That way only your furniture shakes.... |
