| Boomy bass in home theater room Yep, no way around things (practicality wise, that is), other than radical "EQ'ing", speaker and seating placment changes (still have challenges thereafter), or, yep, massive bass traps/resonators, etc. Your most pracctical is to move speakers/sea... | |
| HT speaker system recomendations sub $1,500.00 LOt's of good sounding smaller monitors that fit that price range w/sub. Anyting from The newly released/reviewed(HT magazine) Infinity TSS750 system at $750 w/sub ($650 at Circuit city), to using NHT super Zero's/SB1's and sub and such would soun... | |
| Which 7 channel amp for growing system? Well I've worked in 1 av store and 5 high end av stores over the last 10 years. And I still have yet to find a better value in both sonics and "cash outlay" than the Outlaw 100 watt x 7 amp! It's a killer deal all around. While I have yet to see A... | |
| Speakers to hang on to for LIFE None!...it's all for sale eventually. ONce the life style changes, and the kids come, and the new house gets bought, the writing is on the wall for any audio lifestyle and gear collection!..I've seen it all before.Never the less, I personally neve... | |
| Theta Casanova or CAL ssp-2500 Your not really gaining anthing with the Cal...other than astheticly matching your amp, the sonics are actually quite similar really. So, what are you after? There is most certainly very little sonic difference for HT especially. | |
| Harman Kardon AVR vs. Yamaha RX-V2400 ?? Do yourself a favor and look into used separates if you value sonic integrity(and to me, sound is everything in an audio system)!The Outlaw audio 6/7 channelx100 amp and pre/pro would only run you %1500 together!..the sound blows away any receiver... | |
| Receiver for Vienna Acoustics - Haydn You know any of the Used receivers on teh market at $1k used (probably much more new) would suffice. Really they would all do much better sonically if you add a separate power amp!....huge differnce! (I once compared the Denon 5800 and Yamaha DSPA... | |
| How many of you guys use a HT processor ? I would like to add one Caveat to the mix here pertaining to this topic, and that's the issue of flexibility (which offers some advantages sonically) that AV pre/pro's offer, that 2 ch pre's don't......I have noticed however that there are at leas... | |
| How many of you guys use a HT processor ? Yeah unfortunately you can't ultimately expect world class sonics by simply using an HT pre/pro connected digitally from a source!...thus using the DAC's in your pre/pro. You will get better refinement by finding a very good CD source that has goo... | |
| Definitive Tech Yeah, I've been way into this stuff for years. And have sold most everything on the market. I agree with Thinkat'sassessment of the situation...If it's good to you, it's good! That about summs it up. I mean, after all, who's listening to the syste... | |
| Best Integrated for under $1000 I don't know about the Musical Fidelity piece mentioned previously at that price level. However, the older $5k integrated that MF made was simply world class, and the best I've ever heard!..and I've sold some mondo high end gear over the years...t... | |
| Best All time 5.1 Pre/Pro so you need multi channel intputs?...just want to make sure.By the way, as someone who's personally worked for 5 high end audio stores over the past 15 years, I mostly whole-hartedly agree with your assesment of Lexicon and Bryston!...to my they a... | |
| How many of you guys use a HT processor ? Here's the deal...JMCGrogan2 is about right for you if you are mainly into highest fidelity possible music listening, have an excellent digital source(with good DAC's) from it's analog-out's, and home theater is a secondary priority for you!...the... | |
| 2-channel + 3-channel amps, versus 5-channel amp Yeah to do HT right, you gotta do a center. If you like no center for your mulit channel music or whatever, or stereo needs, than click off the center! it's that easy. For movies, you simply must do the center thing for off axis listening with mul... | |
| Your budget - $20K - best system for a small room Obviously, there's tons of options...yet some obstacles and better chioces to consider for your tiny room. Acoustically, that room is heavily challenged, and listening possition if limited. You will have to consider teh sonic integrity of the room... |
