| Looking for Pre/Pro with great 2 ch sound I was very pleased with the 2 channel (direct) capabilities of my old factory upgraded Acurus Act 3 (upgraded to Aragon Stage 1 status), as well as the unbeatablely dynamic, clear, and detailed PCM/24bit/DD/DTS playback! This piece is very very ra... | |
| I need help upgrading my system Active woofers? Well, years back, Home Theater Magazine did a $3k system face off" between 3 of the writers. The one that won the challenge used some then current Boston Acoustics powered mini tower speakers, which used some 8" active woofers, dri... | |
| I need help upgrading my system Yeah, the deal is that the Cheap Denon's with the new Audyssey EQ is going to be LIGHT YEARS better than anything else you could EQ your system with! So, even if you go 2 channel, you'll still be WAY ahead of the game, sound-wise. Infact, you'll b... | |
| Brother, can you spare some time for HT advice? I'd go with the Kef's you like, and the best newer Denon your budget can allow! Sound will improve with better electronics. Otherwise, an even better sounding option, would be to buy a Denon with the HD-DD and DTS Master, Audyssey, and pre-out's, ... | |
| Brother, can you spare some time for HT advice? I tell you what - since I've sold those products over the years, I can say that you should act on the seeds you have planted with thos product selections! Otherwise, you'll never know if you thoughts were right. And, I think the product range you ... | |
| HT Receiver recommendation Sure. The products with newer tech offer sonic advantages (as well as video upscaling capabilities, often) that you just wont' get with older receivers. And, because we're talking about "receivers", it's not like you're going to be getting super s... | |
| Denon AVR1708/3808 vs Onkyo TXSR575/875 matchup? ? Plato, thanks for your response. Question?: what ways are you running the Onkyo? Are you running digital connection (thus processing PCM in the Onkyo - if you listen to CD's at all?), describing DD/DTS -master receordings w/Digital connection? Do ... | |
| Receiver with Audyssey More recommendations here for Denon. Probably get the AVR688 for that on the net. Plenty of power and features, yes. Sound will mate with most any speakers. My experience is Onkyo's are a little Thin sounding at lower price points (everyone's been... | |
| Help Frequency Hole - Processor? Diva? Another problem here (sorry, didn't read you whold post) is that you likely have your two subs out of phase, in relation to where you sit, and were the main speakers are located. I've seen this on occasions, actually. Infact, I fixed a trained lis... | |
| Help Frequency Hole - Processor? Diva? No processor or EQ in the world can fix a "hole" in the sound!" (I take it back - readjusting phase between speakers and sub, or two subs, can put back the frequency that might have been cancelled out, in a poorly arranged setup).For the most part... | |
| Best sounding "cheap" HT setup you're using... Oh yeah. I forgot - I'm using "Quiet Line Filters" on my outlets, and "Vibra-Pod" equipment issolators throughout the system, as well as my old "CD Blacklight" CD tweak. Also, extensive home made acoustic diffusors and absorbers around the room, i... | |
| Best sounding "cheap" HT setup you're using... over the years I've experimented with cheapo stuff. And, in the process, I've come up with some pretty good sounding "overachieving systems", comprised of a fairly mixed bag. System I'm using right now, I could MAYBE get $200 for everything if I s... | |
| Fan noise from Toshiba HD-XA2? Hey I know the Best Buy's, and the likes, have been dumping these Tosh's at like $99-$127 or whatever. Anyone know if any of the disco'd models pass Dolby-HD or DTS-Master from the HDMI 1.3 out? - or do they any even process HD Digital internally,... | |
| Next step in upgrading my home theater system?? All these variables add up to more ingreadients in the recipe! The more attention you pay to the variables affecting what you hear and how the system performs, the better the end results. That's the bottom line - maximizing your experience with wh... | |
| Next step in upgrading my home theater system?? "General rule of thumb in my book, is that speakers yield a much bigger bang for the buck than amplification." (BobR)Indeed, I agree with Bob here, BUT, problem is you already have a complete setup speakers and a receiver. I think the EASY step, s... |
