| Adding 2 channel goodness to existing reciever Keep your front three channels with the same power. Save some money and buy a 3 channel amp. Use the Marantz for the rears.The Marantz should have fairly nice quality sound. Does it have a "direct" mode? | |
| Room size & choosing speakers Great sounding but overkill...The 805's should be the place to start with no sub-that can always come later. The C50 is great. The 302 should sound exactly the same but is only 300 watts. That is more than enough power. Honestly, 40 watts with tho... | |
| so many choices, yet so little to demo Where are you? Road trip? If you are dropping $2500 it may be worth it? | |
| How do I do it? My opinion is that the Center channel must match your right and left channels to sound "seamless". Rears don't matter as much and can be added in the future. A subwoofer helps more than you know. Not only does it have a dedicated track on almost a... | |
| System for the hearing impaired If your hearing loss is uneven, mono may have some great benefits. Also, concentrating on midrange will help clarity. When people push for full range and great imaging there are sacrifices. I couldnt believe how well tv ears work for my dad. Lower... | |
| Comments on Oppo 105 for 2 channel audio system You need a monitor to view the files. The Oppo is a nice unit but if you only want it for 2 channel with no tv, then consider something else...If you need SACD also, you might end up with 2 players or a computer & DAC and an SACD player. At le... | |
| Please alleviate my fears The numbers mean virtually nothing. From what I was taught, these are a logarithmic function of resistance to full volume. The smaller the negative number, the less the amplifier is "holding back" from its full volume. If it drives your speakers w... | |
| Anthem & Xfinity I think you are stuck with 2 channel on most on demand, unless listed as HD. Back to using prologic II? | |
| Suggestions for a good stereo preamp and amp 1-get something with a sub output.2-do you need video switching? Is this used for tv or audio only?3-to get a noticable difference in power, you will more or less have to double the wattage. A multi channel receiver will put out more power into 2 ... | |
| Oppo 103 HDMI Cable It's good. To really get an upgrade is going to cost you a lot. | |
| Change the cartridge or phono stage Do you have a scale and protractor? Proper set-up is more important than anything else.What is your whole system? Most people don't get the "warmth" out of a table. | |
| Childproofing Speakers Tbooe is right. Also, a couple of sandbags on the stands for a piece of mind. My older kid had an obsession with pushing in the dust caps. I didn't want to have to raise a kid with no fingers... | |
| CD vs CD/SACD Player – Tube-based or Not Ok, here's how I handled this solution: I have an Oppo 103 for SACD/DVD-A. It replaced a Denon. The sound is very nice but not a huge increase over a 7 year old Denon. For 2 channel, I use digital out to an external DAC-this is much better than 2 ... | |
| CD vs CD/SACD Player – Tube-based or Not You have too many variables!From what I know, SACD technology has not changed a lot. It is still at 100hz, while cd players are easily at 24/192.So, a high end older SACD would be fine, you have to use analog outputs on it any way. On the other ha... | |
