| The best passive preamp I would like to know what amps and CD/source components you who say the NOH was so good were using? My experiences with passive preamps (McCormmack TLC,Pass Aleph L/P, and others) has been dissapointing from a dynamics stand point...at least with ... | |
| Which high-end receiver? "...the IAR review of the AVR300 is the strongest recommendation of a product I have ever read." (Obrown)THIS MEANS ABSOLUTELY POSITIVELY NOTHING!! Infact, what am I thinking? I should be driving my Wilson's with the AVR300!...yeah, NOT!I've been ... | |
| Sunfire Receiver or Separates and Magneplanar Spea I'd be definitely doing separates with those powerhungry maggies, and cossing them up high! They don't handle dynamic power well, and are more "delicate speakers". I used to sell Maggies, and they don't handle the goods so well as it is. I'd cross... | |
| Speaker recommendations for Arcam AVR300? If I were considering the Arcam, or any receiver for that matter, I'd not be spending lots on speakers...specifically one's that that want more power. You'd also drive them as "small", as the receiver is limited on power output, not to mention pas... | |
| Need help in picking a good preamp/processor I'm saying, for your likely sources/needs, the krell HTS is as good sonically as you'll find IME. | |
| Need help in picking a good preamp/processor No no no..Krell HTS 5.1 of old. Connected digitally, as good as can be had for digital PCM and dts/dd. | |
| Totem Home theatre You're DEFINITELY going to run them as "small" on your prepro! You'll also get the best dynamic ability from them by using them in a smaller space, yes. Also, improvements in "solidity" wsill be had when you sit closer to the speakers, proximally,... | |
| What are the speaker placements for 7.1 HT setup? These are mostly music speakers I might ad. Which is fine for some applications, but not a big space like you're using! May I suggest some more high end "active", higher efficiency focused designs better suited to your HT applicastions? I've sold ... | |
| Best pre-owned subs below $1k? Yeah, placed up agains the back wall YOU WILL HEAR nothing but boomy "non-flat"/accurate sound! BAsically, it will sound like a small room boom box. However, if you can't move things around, you should consider something with a parametric EQ to cu... | |
| PSB Stratus Silver i's Silvers where better than Gold's in my opinion. Silsvers for $700 used are a good try into audiophile experience, sure. I prefer them over older Paradigms. The Silvers reminded me between a cross from Paradimm Studio 60/80's and NHT 2.5i's! Anyway... | |
| Warm interconnects recommendation Yeah Truth links are not warm, but more neutral sounding. Warm considerations are Cardas Cross, Audio Quest Python, MIT's stuff, any Monster cable basically, etc. Good luck | |
| Biamping Dunlavy SC-V Dunlavy recommended NOT bi-amping, as he set it up to play with jumpers in. However, you can. The crossover is set lowenough however(around 200hz), that you shouldn't have any problems using a good "bass amp", like the Parasounds (for cheap on the... | |
| Looking for speakers less than 1500 used or new All speakers have compromises, I promise! (6 high end stores worth of working experience, and 15 years plus). So, sounds like powerful dynamics isn't a priority. Why not then consider Maggie 1.5's? Sounds right up your alley to me. I mean, they're... | |
| New TV technology ? it's also in March's issue of "CustomRetailer". (S)urface Conductor (E)lectron-emitter (D)isplay. Basically, some advancement in CRT tech have been made, which allows CRT to be integrated into "flat pannel" technology, for supposed superior result... | |
| What are the speaker placements for 7.1 HT setup? Basically, it is needed to know your room dimmensions, layout, basic acoustical properties, and all the variables in the room, seating locations, etc. All this will make it easier to point out speaker options really. |
