| where to go from here..,, I'm sure this is probably a stupid question, but do I need to concern myself with impedance specs on a prospective new pre-amp? My power amp has a specification of 22kOhms input impedance....what does that mean, and does it matter | |
| where to go from here..,, So any other suggestions? I wouldn't believe the Parasound is the only option, especially after the last few posts:) | |
| where to go from here..,, My mains are positioned for 2channel. That's the part I'm most critical about. What about as I expand my digital knowledge, and have all my music on NAS, and run that into a prospective preamp? My current setup is using the Odyssey to power them a... | |
| where to go from here..,, At the risk of opening the field too wide, budget isn't as important as getting what will work best. I'd rather buy once than buy something knowing it's an intermediate step.... The speakers I'd pretty decided on almost 2 years ago, but due to pri... | |
| where to go from here..,, I have no illusions about 'if I get the right preamp, all will be perfect' :) I know better than that!! I have an ordinary HDMI from the Oppo to the Yamaha, and a $60 Audioquest RCA from the Yamaha to the amp, then sold old....and I mean OLD Monst... | |
| where to go from here..,, Mattmiller, I agree, the possibilities are almost endless, and the synergy issues impossible to predict wihout some trial and error, which I'm prepared to try, just throwing it out to see what direction I can get. My Odyssey I bought from here on ... | |
| Survey:What Speakers Do You Want To Demo in Store? I agree with Mceljo. The key is the mix of options. In my area there is one good audio dealer, and he has a fair mix, and a good attitude in terms of helping the customer choose. That is a rarity from what I hear. But obviously he can't carry all ... | |
| I know, there is no 'best', but... Yeah, I've been made a believer there, at least for mains. I had my mains on the AVR and then added my Yamaha amp back in, and didn't hear much difference, but on the advice from another thread, I got an Odyssey amp of the same power rating, and i... | |
| Can Infinity Kappa Polydomes be replaced by ...? I tried the replacement dome only that is listed on eBay. I don't have the equipment to install properly, and the midrange output on that speaker is 'off' from the original still in the other speaker. I don't recommend and of the other drivers, an... | |
| Nasty problem - ideas? OK, also worth a look. I must admit, I don't trust the YPAO, but don't have another system for EQ'ing the system/room. I have just adjusted everything to 'flat', and input my measurements to each speaker, and it seems ok. I dialed back the sub vol... | |
| Nasty problem - ideas? Pbnaudio - I did that check on the sub, and it did bottom out in travel before it touched anything in the back. I'll do some more checking/investigating.... | |
| so many choices, yet so little to demo Shakey - speaking purely for myself, my mains are quite distant from my screen, mainly because I made the assumption that anything that 'needed' to sound like it was coming from a central position would come from the center channel, which is in th... | |
| so many choices, yet so little to demo I am somewhat in the same boat, although living in the Atlanta area, I have more choices closer than when I was in SW Florida. There are still many brands I hear about here, with 'nothing else comes close for ten times the price' endorsements from... | |
| Nasty problem - ideas? Ok, thanks all. I checked the volume on the sub, and it was at about '10 o'clock', so I turned it down a little, replayed the passage I remember having the problem on, and it didn't happen. I'll check the woofer travel tonight when I get home, and... | |
| Nasty problem - ideas? Ok, thanks, I'll retry the same passage with the sub turned down - it was impressive, but didn't seem too loud. Maybe it was too much. Thanks. |
