| Amp, One Set of Speaker Connections Or Two? You mean bi-wiring. You can use spades AND bananas in the A21. If you actually wanted to bi-amp, the A21 has XLR in and outs, so you can add a second A21. | |
| Time for a new a/v receiver could use some input! So your AVR has all the high res codecs except for Atmos. You could use a modern TV to do your HDMI switching, using the optical 5.1 outs to the receiver.You could also use a bluray player with 2 HDMI outs to feed it directly if you wanted the hig... | |
| Time for a new a/v receiver could use some input! The AVR 520 is a very interesting choice. Full pre-out, all the sound processing power of the AVM 60. | |
| Just purchased an Anthem AVM 50 to Frankenstein with my Luxman 507 Erik, you may want to just try using the lossy form of DD/DTS. Thanks, @auxinput ! Honestly it's all pretty good right now. I _may_ attempt to go back to using the 7.1 outs on the Oppo if only because I now have so many Wireworld Gold cables lying... | |
| Just purchased an Anthem AVM 50 to Frankenstein with my Luxman 507 Sorry didn’t read the whole thing. My bad.No worries. So far when playing BD marked with DTS Master the Anthem is switching to DTS automatically. Apparently this is a feature of DTS. You get as much as your processor can handle:https://en.wikipedi... | |
| OMG CAT has a web page!! Very nice! :) I've only heard them at the Magico demo room and I really liked them. | |
| Parasound JC 1 monoblocks with Ayre KX-5 Twenty preamp? Having heard both at the same dealer, Ayre all the way. However, pick what you like. :) | |
| How can we hear the difference in cables in a bad room? I encourage everyone who is interested to actually do some research instead of knee-jerk responding to a topic brand new to them.Best,E | |
| Just purchased an Anthem AVM 50 to Frankenstein with my Luxman 507 Hey Caphill,Per the comparison chart here:https://www.anthemav.com/downloads/avm50_ComparisonChart.pdfAnthem did not support DTS Master or DD TrueHD until the next model, the 50v. :) Even if it can't you can still use HDMI and set the HDMI confi... | |
| Best speaker cable for Focal Sopra 3 Wireworld tends to be a good brand to consider with Focals.They warm the speakers up, and improve the imaging. However, you should listen for yourself. Some find the loss of detail not worth the improved image depth. | |
| How can we hear the difference in cables in a bad room? Here's a really good way to show what I'm talking about. Take a recording of people talking in a room, or just of your system playing music. Then listen on head phones. Magically, you hear all the room acoustics for the first time, and once you pr... | |
| How can we hear the difference in cables in a bad room? Hi OP,I've thought about this and read a little bit. I think the answer is that our brain spends a LOT of time and effort filtering out room acoustics. There's been research done for instance on how much more tiring having a meeting or studying in... | |
| Would this room treatment be worthwhile? I suggest you try this out on the cheap and see if it's worth it. :) Throw a blanket over the TV to experiment. If you feel the improvement is worth while then you can move onto other solutions, such as curtains, etc. | |
| Is grounding with RCA is safe? I wouldn't say it is unsafe, per se, but many designers deliberately lift the ground to prevent noise issues. Seeing a 100 Ohm resistor between the chasis, which is directly attached to the AC ground, and the signal ground is quite common. The qui... | |
| Wide dispersion speakers for a large room oh, of course, another brand I consider wide dispersion is Magico. Really wide listening sweet spot. |
