| mono blocks for home theater? Nope, nope, nope...to an extent, that is. I could see the very best mono's giving some advantage POTENTIALLY in refinement of sound, all things equal. But considering bass managment, powered subs, more efficiency in amp/speaker combo do to bass ma... | |
| Need help with buying decision-mains Most of deciding what's right for YOUR SYSTEM NEEDS/ROOM/SET UP is just that! What is your room like, layout, dimmensions, restrictions(if any), acoustics, seating/speaker options/placements, etc? This all will have a tremendous impact on what you... | |
| Are Revel Salons too much? What Ejlif said...also, the Rives audio PARC is the single best analog parametric EQ I've heard. And I've heard most. Infact, I heard(or didn't hear) their PARC ($2200?) on many high end systems at the Shows this last year or two, and it's as tran... | |
| Lexicon LX-7 or Bryston 4BSST's and a 6BSST??? I've sold/dealt in the Lexicon/Bryston line(same stuff basically, from the same manufacture). I think either way you'll get similar results honestly. If thats' the way you're going. considering the sonic abilities of the M&K speakers, and the ... | |
| mono blocks for home theater? I personally think, unless were talking about some massive powered mono's for a lowish sensitivity speaker systems, and you are running the speakers as "large" on the pre/pro, I say are really not where most should concentrate their intentions. I ... | |
| good 5 channel amp for rears only YOu've a good synergy for the money with your classe/B&W combo. Your main concern with "timber matching" is already adressed with the speakers. Slightly differing amps won't matter too much in the long run, especially considering how movies ar... | |
| Best All time 5.1 Pre/Pro YOu know in thinking about it, considering "Kgproperties" assesment of the Soundstage (Aragon), I do seem to remember that it was indeed a bit soft on dyamics compared to others. Infact, I remember that I ended up keeping my Acurus Act 3 for that ... | |
| Adcom GFP-750 and Adcom GFA-5802 Amp? Hummmmm..sounds to me like you are the one after the combo!, ey?Anyway, I've sold this combo on a retail level over the years, and am very familiar. I've had the 750 in my system before. The 5802 is very sonically comparable to the ATI amps, if sl... | |
| Seperates or Receiver on a Budget Sean is not so far fetched in his post. Really, at that budget, you should do separates, hands down. Even the mighty Denon 5803 and smiliar aren't as good as good separates. And, yes, the amp sections are the largest part. But dynamics, signal to ... | |
| Best Low Budget Speakers So many to look at....what you and Rarl mentioned, B&W DM601's used, Kef's Q series and Kresta's, etc, Triangles yes. Supposing you're using basic receivers, these should generally work well sonically if set up right(always critical).If doing ... | |
| Boomy bass in home theater room yeah, what Kgveteran said too | |
| Bi-amp a two-way speaker makes sense? Passive biamping however doesn't always improve overall sound and tonility! many speakers aren't balanced/designed to be bi-amped ulitimately, yeilding an often "tipped up" or "bright" tonal balance with 2 way speakers! I've bi-amped MANY 2 way sp... | |
| McCormack or Pass Labs You'll never know until you, yes, "TRY SOMETHING!"I mean, are we really going to convince you as to what the differences really are? I've sold both the Pass and McCormmack lines in the past. At the price points, I like both. The Pass is better ove... | |
| Any opinions on Acurus amps? I need to very much pipe in here.......as an audiophile with "an ear", I would dissagree that the Acurus amps are bright in general! I owned the superb little ACT 3(only a bit higher noise floor than some if not careful with system matching speake... | |
| Paradigm Speaker Question: You will have to answer that question yourself, as only your ear and eye will let you know what YOU LIKE!...not anyone elses opinion. I never was a huge Paradigm or Monitor fan, and sold both lines.(actually, the Paradigm subs are superb!). Still,... |
