| What is the difference btwn dolby digital and dts? There is no difference...they're both basically hyped up "quad" 4 channel from the 70's....it's all smoke and mirrors really....lol | |
| Aerial or Dalis? my experience with the Aerial's, is that they're a typical "slighly laid back" and forgiving audiphile sounding speaker, that's clear with good detail. Dynamic abilities is about on par with Theil, and similar lesser priced designs from NHT and Pa... | |
| What cables would sound best with my system?? eh, you'll have to try yourself. Yes, the Monster 2.4's are good cables "in the right system!". They are superb with Martin Logan's for some reason. Others to try for not too much, that are simply super are Acoustic Zen Satori's! This is probably ... | |
| Changing receiver from Arcam to? "...Don't want to spend the money on separates as in a HT system get 80-90% of sound with a receiver much cheaper"Yeah, for the record, this is way off!!! figure more like 80-90% better sound from separates easy!!!! I've worked in 6 audio stores o... | |
| New Theater Room Help First, I'd stay away from acoustical tiles on the ceiling, definitely! Your small acoustic space (and that's still small) needs more diffusion, not absorption in the mid/high's, with the limited bass absorption pressent in your room, Basically, it... | |
| Triangle Titus 202 Opinions? Get the upgraded versions...SE I think??? Er, whatever's newest, get those. I think the original 202's had a quality control issue with the phase plug on the tweeter, often mis-aligned, causing brightness issues. The newer fixed that.I think you'd... | |
| Speaker placement for Definitive Bi-Pole Tower 30s Those speakers are designed to breath a bit, and so you hear some "back wall reflections" from the back drivers. So don't smuther them. Balance width with speaker placment for bass response. They need to couple well in the room. You might have to ... | |
| Best Speaker to use with Arcam AVR300? Really!...what's the room, budget, etc?Still, with ANY RECEIVER, you're looking at limited power output compared to separates. My first choice for you is the Triangle's! yes, they use a simple crossover, thus have better control over drivers, and ... | |
| 7 channel Sim titan or seperate amps??? Distortion? Cinematic?...who dat?Oh! You mean the guy who refers to himself as "god-like"? Er, Yeah, that's just plain obnoxious and irritating. | |
| 7 channel Sim titan or seperate amps??? If you ask Cinematic-systems, he'd tell ya you not only need separate 1000 watt Bolder mono's for each driver in your speaker system, but would likely asume you to be an idiot for not agreeing...just incase you were curious.Other than that, I find... | |
| Splicing on a HT to 2channel system, best approach Hank, that order you you mentioned is how I would do it. Processor (need an outboard processor for DD/DTS, NOT decoding from the DVD player, etc!!!...I'd suggest inexpensive Acurus Act 3 used)). Then a subwoofer. (2 channels plus sub this way is v... | |
| Sin City , sinfully delicious sound Wow for $7500, I hope it's a good woofer. My experience is that I'd rather do something like 4 or more Paradigm Servo 15's or M&K MX200's and such, which gives me more placement flexibility, driver reinforcement and efficiency, speed, and lack... | |
| Should i cross speakers over to "small"? Your speakers are full range speakers with active 12" subs built in, correct? You should be able to get very good results crossing these over lower than 80hz. Because of the effieciency of your bass system here, You should probably try to cross lo... | |
| where should i go from here? Good news is you have powered speakers(?), right? Your receivers will power these better than non-powereds, and you should be good on dynamics and power overall, all things considdered. Separates would still be much much better in ALL AREAS HOWEVE... | |
| Please help- Arcam AVR-300 or B&K AVR507 At the price, the Arcam will be the best sounding, I have no doubt. I sold the old Arcam 100, and it was the best sounding $1200 piece at the time, hands down! It was still a receiver, and lacking ultimate power and control, but bass managment hel... |
