| Need some help putting new system together Ok, without knowing the setup variables, like long wall vs. short wall, close seating vs. farther back seating (this all makes a HUGE DIFFERENCE BTW), I'd have no Qwams whatsoever recommending you look at the Triangle Titus(er whatever the smaller... | |
| Two Questions... I'd go with the little Infinity TSS750 system for the cheepest. Then, for a little bigger, the Polk system at $1k retail is even better. All that used is going to stomp the Bose system sonically, if that matters to you.The Denon will do well fine ... | |
| Need some help putting new system together Jmy350z, here's your situation...First, you'd ideally need to specify the actual space the system's going in! What's the dimmensions of the room? I presume 8' ceiling height, yes? Also, the layout options? Acoustics? (Carpet, teil, wood floors?..w... | |
| Processor for Av passthrough Distortion, I think what he's trying to infer, is that he wants to use the "dirrect through" on the 2 channel preamp, thus looping and AV pre/pro through that input (2 channels worth for L/R) when he does multi-channel stuff. I think his wording i... | |
| Theta with Vandersteen... what cables? I'd DEFINITELY go with something more extended, even more foreward/prominent in the trebble for your setup! Everything in that system, including the cardas, is a bit recessed in the trebble! If it were me, I'd be looking at a minimum of Kimber's s... | |
| Processor for Av passthrough Cheapest solution is acurus act 3 with ABM for around $500 range used. There won't be any cleaner more dynamic sound for DD/DTS for the money! There's lower signal to noise pre's out there however, but the ACt 3's more than liveable, and a veritab... | |
| Best processor that is excellent for 2 Ch music Actually, I'm really refering MAINLY to DD/DTS decoded 5.1 material. As for pcm material output from the analog out's of a good dvd player, that's another story entirely!...to a point. Yes, often using a good dvd player into a 2 channel preamp and... | |
| Best processor that is excellent for 2 Ch music In regards to what Sgower mentioned, you can forget that! Processing from the digital out into an outboard processor is always much better for dd/dts! It's never processing in the DVD player. | |
| Best processor that is excellent for 2 Ch music Reckon. Yes, you're right. You can save "1 box" in your setup, by paying another $5k for the Cary piece! I don't doubt that. However, why would you? Why spend 6x's more money for a pre-pro that's VERY LIKELY got sonic compromises on one portion or... | |
| Sub Suggestions I think the Rockets have a parametric EQ on board also, yes? Not sure on that, but think so. That would help as well | |
| Best processor that is excellent for 2 Ch music Rekon, I think you just anwered your own question! I simply think it's a much much better deal to go with quality digital pre, and quality 2 channel preamp, looped together. Whould I spend $6k on a tube multi-channel pre?...no. The reality is that... | |
| Krell Showcase versus Krell HTS 7.1 HTS 7.1 sounds about 150% better or more for one. That's the important part really. | |
| Best processor that is excellent for 2 Ch music I don't doubt the Cary is better sounding as a processor than the pieces Rackon mentioned, indeed. Still, none of these porcessors are going to be as good in the preamp department as a standalone quality higher end preamp! (especially tube pre's, ... | |
| $3000 Speaker/electronics budget "...If the friend has a huge room I really can't think of anything reasonable that can be done in this price range. In a smallish to midsized room, my recommendations more or less stay the same. I would simply buy different speakers within the pro... | |
| HT system education Stay with a good 2 chanel plus subwoofer solution for you! You'll only have sonic nightmares tring to get all the channels in play. Stay quality over quanity! You'll also need a good AV pre/processor and 2 channel amp. |
