| Can I introduce a DAC to this?? Does it have a digital output (coax or toslink)? If so, yes you can use a DAC for much better sound. The other advantage of an external DAC is that you can play around with different ones to get the sound you like.Also, if the Pioneer breaks, whic... | |
| klipsch speakers,be honest I only got rid of my cornwalls and heresys to make the wife happy. Took up way too much real estate.Honestly though, you need a seriously massive room to get good imaging out of them. | |
| Would an external DAC improve the sound of my SONY Even new sonys have their own distinct sound. Personally, I think they make great transports but will only use one with an external DAC. I like warmer, less analytical sound. | |

| How are Soliloquy's in HT? Awesome. How about a sub? Don't skimp.I've been into 5.1 SACDs since going with soliloquy's.By the way, I just spoke to the soliloquy office yesterday about a repair. They are great people. | |

Try setting the Grant to 1/2 volume then experiment where the volume really should be to be balanced with the L/R and rears. You can... | |
| Tuner recommendations If you like simple & easy, ignore MD. For that matter, I wouldn't spend much on a tuner unless you live near a high quality radio station that is worth the $$$ or if you live in the middle of nowhere and need a great tuner to pull in weak stat... | |
| Best-front ported monitor speakers? NO PORT AT ALL! Soliloquy Sat-5. Amazingly clear and clean with a design that allows placement almost anywhere. Yes, you need a sub for real bass, but they are quite nice down to 70hz or so. | |
| What was your first music that you paid for? Eric Clapton Slow Hand. The tape is worn out but I still have it for sentimental reasons. | |

| good 5 channel amp for rears only You really should try to match the center to the right and left. Many Classe amps are bridgeable. Get a stereo amp for the center and either bridge it or biamp. Then, pick up whatever for the rears/surrounds. You will much happier this way. | |
| Seperates or Receiver on a Budget Don't waste your money on a receiver if you think you will be using an outboard amp. Try outlawaudio.comPersonally, I would pick up an Anthem AVM-2 for about $900 and an Anthem 5 channel amp for about the same.Not a receiver made that can touch it. | |
| Best Low Budget Speakers Soliloquy Sat-5. You can get a great deal from underwoodhifi.com.The benefit of these is no rear port. They were designed to be on a bookshelf where many small speakers sound aweful when on a shelf. |
