| How much better is Theta Cas 2 compared to Classe Yeah, if you're doing HT, try to keep the quality all around! Ideally, same speakers all around, or at lest up front. Also, for best sound with those Joseph Audio's, make sure you either sit close enough(as in small rooms) to the speakers, so as t... | |
| Speakers For McIntosh? I'll scratch the Paradigm, Phasetech, and Vandersteen(TOOO laid back, veilied, and soft for my taste with Mac's), and other warm charactered speakers(don't understand the whole, "warm, warm, warm thing!"). I like a balance that say's "transparent!... | |
| Threshold T upgrade to Stasis Shucks!...for the price of the upgrade you could buy 3 used T200's, or 2 Pass X150's, or one Pass X350 used!!! I don't see the value in what's likely to be such a small sonic advantage for the money out-layed. | |
| re-finish of dunlavy speakers? I like the idea of doing a "faux(?)" paint finish on the speakers! My budy does artwork on KTLA Channel 5 a few mornings a month as a spot-light segment(also did Oprah's once!)I've seen him do superb faux work on just about every finish imaginable... | |
| Threshold T upgrade to Stasis I owned 2 T200's over the years. Both were excellent and about as good for the money as you could expect all around. I talked to the Threshold guy's at the show, and I mentioned my thoughts about possibly upgrading mine. They hinted that "yes, it'... | |
| what brand of amplifier for my situation????? Yeah McIntosh is good with your speakers. Also, Parasound HCA1206(not 1205), Classe, Aragon 8008x5(older), B&K(ok), Anthem, and other slightly soft on top amps, with warm body. The above mentioned are than. Also, the Pass X5 should do fine als... | |
| Speakers For McIntosh? For music or HT...both? For music, you might try the Thiels, NHT's, or other "matter of fact sounding speakers". The Mac's are forgiving and sweet on top. I think you'd be happy in this genre. Anything with that "transparent, uncolored, detailed s... | |
| Review: Acurus ACT-3 Surround Pre I owned a couple of ACT 3's over the years, and sold it on a retail level. I also had the Aragon Soundstage, which I sold in favor of the, yes, sonically excellent ACT 3! The Act 3's dynamics, lack of coloration, detail, soundstage, and just plain... | |
| DD DTS THX.............. Madhf, I heard the old Angstrom had a rather high "noise floor level"! Do you own this piece?(was like $1k new) My old Acurus ACt 3 had a tad bit higher nose floor than the better pre/pro's out there. And as good sonically as that piece was, it's ... | |
| Best sub 1k tube pre amp for ss amp Audible Illusions do better with tube amps in my experience (owned an Mod 3 A once) Audio Research used under $750 (LS2,5,7,15 with upgraded tubes is fine). Better is a used Cary linestage. They made one at around $1200 without a remote that was d... | |
| Best Budget Preamp, whats out there? Forget the GFP-750! It's not Class A, never was, never will be. Sold it at 3 audio/video stores over the years. It's not as good as many think.(maybe Class C...seriously). Infact every other preamp in the store at it's price or above was better...... | |
| Audio Room Size ??? As for your "telepost" concern (not sure what that is, ...maybe a support beam?), you'll have to decide that, and work that out.As for room dimmensions, I strongly suggest using what world renound HT designer Russ Herschelmann uses in his theaters... | |
| too much hype in audio I think people are missing the point that men (audio/video is a male dominated hobby) are by nature "tinkerers" and love a good project! We also like toy's, gadgets, machines, etc. This fits in perfectly with the nature of audio/video reproduction... | |
| poker anyone? "Funny Quicke!"Actually Lokie, just for your info, seeing that it sounds like such a large entertainment room would be, just that, large, I thought I'd mention that you really wouldn't have to work to hard on the acoustics of such a place! If you ... | |
| Favorite Music When Having Sex Funny stuff...funny stuff!How about the "awheemawhap, awheemawhap, awheemawhap, aawheemawhap,...in the jungle, the mighty jungle...(Ace Ventura). I always like that one. Otherwise, it's ..."I'M A COWWWBOY BAAAABY!"(KID ROCK). |
