Using 2 Subwoofers
100 % agree with Drummermitchel 
Using 2 Subwoofers
I use 2 JL F110's in the A/V room - and I can say that 2 subs sound a lot better than one. The overall response is smoother - there is no localization - and it's a huge presentation - Just a solid Wall of bass - One is good but it looses that magic 
Problems with Marantz AV 8003 & new AV 7005
As to whether or not the EQ sounds better... I'd imagine that is system and room dependent. ON Mine, I still prefer the sound without the EQ applied using FIOS as the Source. Yes, it does add some punch and dynamics but I feel the sound to be more...

OK - I got it - sorry for the mix up 
Problems with Marantz AV 8003 & new AV 7005
Check the Marantz site for specs on the AV 7005 RECEIVER - not sure why you would want to process the HD Codecs - I find them to sound perfect in every way...I always thought that was deliberate - it doesn't do it because it doesn't need it...Also... 
Problems with Marantz AV 8003 & new AV 7005
I have owned the AV8003 for a couple of years now and besides sounding great, it has never given me a problem in any area. Knowing Marantz, the AV 7005 will probably be a great piece as well, BUT it is a Receiver, as opposed to separates - The AV ... 
High Quality Fuses: Real Gains?
I have used the Hi Fi Fuses on a Krell 400xi, Kav 2250 and a Cary SLP-05 all with positive results. In each case they added a touch of refinement and resolution - I can compare it to how a system sounds at night as opposed to the day, IF YOU KNOW ... 
Suggestions on a home theater processor?
I love my Marantz AV 8003 - You get a lot of bang for the buck and it's a great performer all trhe way around 
What speakers would be best for Krell KAV2250 w/28
Not sure if you still want input on this topic - I have a 400x1 SACD combo - I am told that it is similar sounding to the Kav separates - First if you have the amp in a conditioner like Monster - That is the biggest mistake you can make with krell... 
Hi-Fi Power Conditioner ?
That's easy - Shunyata Hydra's with 20 amp Helix cords - One of the Best - FOR SURE !!!!!! 
Home Theater 101 - Subwoofer question?
I would check out REL Subs - First they are excellent and second, they have a Neutrik connection which hooks up directly to your speaker outlets on your amp - they also have a LFE if you did have a sub out on a different receiver - both connection... 
DTS-HD Master Audio
That does not sound correct to me - The benifit of the new formats is that they are not compressed - That might be the downside of the PS3 - The Bitsream should not be compressed - that is the whole point... 
DTS-HD Master Audio
Hello - You can't bitstream Dolby true Hd or DTS HD Master Audio over a Coax. or optical connection - The new formats carry way to much information for the those digital connections - The only way to bitstream is via HDMI - If your Bluray has on b... 
Killing BluRay, new Oppo BR 83
Holy Moly - Bluray quality kills DVD - And I'm not just talking about Video - First Thats 1080p Vs. 480i or 480p with progressive scan - BUT ANOTHER HUGE DIFFERENCE are the new AUDIO Formats - Dolby True HD & DTS Master Audio - These offer unc... 
Any thoughts on the new Marantz HT separates?
I finally have the theater system up and running - I matched the Marantz AV8003 with a krell Showcase 7 - without writing a book I can say that The pre/pro is Awesome !! If anyone has any questions, feel free to ask...TONY
