| Affordable Processor with Fabulous 2 Channel ? Thanks auxinput!So I looked again, I guess the Krell Foundation is still out of my price range unless I wait, does anyone like their musical performance?Erik | |
| Affordable Processor with Fabulous 2 Channel ? Thanks @willland !I haven't thought of Anthem since they got sold and closed down Sonic Frontiers. I will check them out! Erik | |
| Anticipated issues with mixing Active + Passive speakers in Home theatre? OP :I think there’s a little confusion. There’s no reason (assuming you have the amps for it) you cannot mix active and passive speakers. The real issue is dynamic range, frequency extension, and smoothness. If your speakers are reasonably close t... | |
| Anticipated issues with mixing Active + Passive speakers in Home theatre? Wharferdales perform unusually well for their price range and should be easy to integrate.Using a "phantom" center has to do with your receiver/processor. See if it has a setting for it. Best,E | |
| Ayre <--> Parasound <--> Pass : where are you? kalali - Well, Ayre remain my favorite SS amps, even if pretty much unobtainable for me. :) Best,E | |
| Affordable Processor with Fabulous 2 Channel ? lux - Yeah, I'm very attracted to the Krells in the used market for just that reason. | |

| Affordable Processor with Fabulous 2 Channel ? Honestly I would like to stay under $2,000I use ICEpower based Class D amps. I'm extremely happy with them. I hear a lot for Classe. Didn't they just get sold or shut down? Best,Erik | |
| Ayre <--> Parasound <--> Pass : where are you? Hi @kw6 - They sound "weird." I don't have a better way to describe it. Also honestly a little thin and weak sounding. Which is a real shame because I wanted to like them. Aesthetically they are divine! Best,E | |
| Ayre <--> Parasound <--> Pass : where are you? @mr_bill - The integrated I heard was very nice, and IMHO along the lines of Ayre. @dweller - I haven't heard Krells in ages, not since B&W announced the original Nautilus. | |
| Affordable Processor with Fabulous 2 Channel ? I really like the modular construction of the NAD, and I have a 30W digital integrated in the bedroom. I also heard the masters series 2 channel DAC and it was god awful. So, mixed experiences. |
