| Speaker Placement Newmanoc is right in that, to do this right, you really need someone to come to your home to do this correctly. Speaker and seating possition locations/variables must be measured and plotted, toe-in/aim dialed in, acoustics considered and recommen... | |
| Acurus Act 3 vs Lexicon Processor "Back to the Lexicon DC-1,...the DCs is my primary HT processor. I frankly can't relate to the comments made above. The sound quality rivals many pure stereo pre's I've tried, including Rotel RC1070, and also Classe CP35."(bdgregory)"Good grief! I... | |
| Acurus Act 3 vs Lexicon Processor At $500? That is tough. The act 3 is a veritable bargain in this price range. But it isn't the quietest in comparison to some. So that's probably out. I'd probably consider used Thule 5.1 dd/dts piece. The Outlaw 950 is good sounding for the money... | |
| Acurus Act 3 vs Lexicon Processor The Act 3, unfortunately, stock, ISN'T a dead quite unit, no. It is a tad noisy, but not as noisy as others. It's got about a 90db signal to noise. Others I've had are around 96 or higher...which is better.I've never had a problem at all with the ... | |
| Newer AV pre-pro's with built in Parametric EQ's Yes, really, ideally, the frequency domain is going to be of first priority for performance of a system. Dynamic range is going to be the most adversely affected, as is actual transient response. The reverb time in a room is also a concern, which ... | |
| Anyone here experience with Triangle Titus spkrs? Thanks for your input all...I'm wondering/assuming the dynamic abilities of these speakers, once crossed over to 80hz or so via a pre/pro setup for HT!? | |
| Newer AV pre-pro's with built in Parametric EQ's I see this segment is likely of little interest to most here. Hummmmmm...this enforces my understanding of how important proper setup is to the average audio enthusiest, or even audiophile! I have serious doubts that people even undertand the impo... | |
| Any Home Theater Experts here? "I would not do the ACT 3 as technology has moved on... I would do a Denon 3806 with room correction and keep you current Preamp." (cytocycle)Actually, technology hasn't moved that much! Infact, for all the applications you'll use, nothing we've g... | |
| What material is based below a down firing sub? There ya go! Try and find out...the audiophile way...experiement! good luck | |
| Any Home Theater Experts here? Most receivers lack the dynamics, channel separation,signal to noise, and overall low level detail retreival that a good separates piece offeres. That said, for $450 range used, something like the modest Acurus Act 3 offers significantly more pote... | |
| advice on 5.1 or 7.1 pre/pro As for differences between DPLII and IIx, you'd have to do some research on those differences. The DPLII is good indeed, and the pre/pro IS INDEED 6.1/7.1, whatever. It's got channels for rear sides and rear back, or 7 channels plus sub, as does t... | |
| Any Home Theater Experts here? pressuming you're staying in 5.1 channels, and not 6.1/7.1 (lest you add amp and speakers for rear/sides), I'd look at quality over quantity indeed. I'd even sacrifice the newer DPLII/IIx in favor of doing 2.1 channel material for stereo movies an... | |
| Opinions on replacement for B&K ref20 Rare factory uptgraded Acurus Act 3, with Aragon Stage One Dac's, direct in's, DPLII, adjustable crossovers, etc. You'll find none better really, and they're rare! | |
| advice on 5.1 or 7.1 pre/pro Factory upgraded Acurus Act 3 to Aragon Stage One status. I've one, and its simply superb! 7.1, DPLII, flexible adjustable bass mngment (40=125hz),8 channel throughput, direct analog in's, etc! And it's as dynamic and uncolored as I've come across... | |
| What material is based below a down firing sub? Nsgarch is off base here. First, the carpet makes zero differnce in a performance standpoint! Infact, the carpet may benefit, in that it can help hide higher frequency distortion or overlap/crosstalk!. Bass waves in play here are so big, that any ... |
