Does "Non Compensated" Reviewing Still Exist?
It's funny....when you get down to it, most everything is either driven by either sex or money! Look at organized sports. I can remember seeing so many "fixed" boxing and fighting matches over the years, I think I might as well have watched WWE wr... 
lexicon mc-8 or krell hts 7.1??
Yeah I think the 7.1 Krell is supperior sonically. Infact, I think the 7.1 krell is as good as it get's for what's out there in Pre-pro's 
klipsch speakers,be honest
Jax2, could you point it out to me? Maybe I'm a little dense with link-searching, but I don't seem to find the thread/your response. Thx 
Suggestion please: How to improve sound.
I like what's mentioned above. I've sold the 3.3's for years, and am familiar with sound.What you might want to sometime consider is a differnt amp with those, and even "bi-amping"! If you found an amp who's midrange and trebble where pristing sou... 
What speaker suit Yamaha RX-V2400?
No problem.Well certainly syset matching is very important, as is room set up, acoustics, calibration, etc. IF you heard a system set up somewhere that you really liked, then you know the posssible potential there. In that case, you might try that... 
Multichannel Amps anyone using SIM Titan?
What speakers? The Krell stuff works well together obviously. Still, I remember the Sim as being sweet on top, with perhaps a better midrange than the Krell. The Plinius is probably somewhere closer to the Sim, while the Krell is perhaps a bit "co... 
Classe SSP 60 vs. Krell HTS 7.1
The Classe 60 is good. The Krell 7.1(sold both) stomps it in terms of ultimate transparency and dynamics! Also, the Krell is extremely low in noise level (sig to noise), and just plain the best sounding digital AV pre-pro made IMO!..and I've sold ... 
klipsch speakers,be honest
My experience from having sold Klipsch's over the last 10 years, as well as owning them, is that "they got potential"...I'll say that. The pressence and sensitivity of these horn speakers offers a "you are there" feeling and effortlessness to the ... 
Music everywhere, too much?
Yeah, balance is good...and often, silence (peace) is better. Still, when you do listen, or want to listen, quality is the best indeed. I've found over the years that music would NEVER SEEM TO STOP playing in my head when I worked in the audio bus... 
First pre/pro and hopefully last
I second the Krell's! They simply make a sonically superb and well built, easy to operate piece! I have yet to hear better for digital AV pre'pro's than the Krell's I've auditioned over the years. Many are "syrupy", "slow", digital sounding, dry, ... 
Placement of Center Channel Speaker
Everything is "balance" ultimately!...and relative to your set up, room, situation.Placing it up high will shift the soundstage relative to mains, and will couple differently in the room, so you gotta tinker basically.I think most would be happy t... 
What speaker suit Yamaha RX-V2400?
You really should get the speakers, and then match the amp! What most do, like you're going, is backwards (I speak from 15 years and 6 audio stores worth of experience, and then some). Many, such as yourself, get to attached to gear, and then thin... 
Best AMP for B&W 804's and REL Storm III?
I'll get back with your next monday...as I'll be away from the "puter". 
Harmonic Technology Pro 11+:any opinions?
It's a good cable. It's a bit syrupy and slow sounding, if not quite as open as others out there (being critical), but it's pretty uncolored, descent detail, bass, mid, etc. The Acoustic Zen Satori/Hologram is superior however. I used to use doubl... 
Opinions on Thiel CS2?
they like tubes. SS is a bit agressive, often harsh up top. Thiel has always had a rather uncolored, neutral sounding palet, with excellent detail/clairity. But those are a tad accentuated in the lower trebble I blieve. So, tubes indeed. LIke anyt...
