| Speaker priority: high or low??? I've been around the hi-end biz for 20 years now, and easily say that THE SPEAKERS ARE INDEED THE MOST IMPORTANT PART OF THE ELECTONICS CHAIN IN REPECT TO SOUND QUALITY!You buy the speakers first, then add the gear to match them! Anything else is ... | |
| Las Vegas question: I have recently visted Las Vegas this past CES show(early Jan), and frequently make trips to Vegas for play as well. I am always currious as to how easy it is to find great deals on audio/video equipment in the Vegas area, due to the obv... | |
| Using Threshold's SA/3.9e as Mono Amp Yeah the sa3.9e is a great sounding amp...especially for the money used. It might, however be easier to locate a couple of T200's, which are not as rare it appears. Or, maybe a T400 on it's own will do what you need for those 3.6's. I would be cur... | |
| 1950-2000: The 10 Greatest Songwriting Teams Yeah, Taupin/Elton JOhn, I concure with "Fatparrot" "Wayne and garth"!!!...too funny | |
| What do in store listening tests prove? If the set up is right, and associated gear matches well, you can at least get an idea of what you're dealing with at a store. Still ultimately, trying in your own home/system is ideal. | |
| Home Theatre Processor reccomendation YOu know if you're cd player(or source for music) has better dacs than your pre/pro's your considering. You might stick with the budget Classe SSP30(sonically superb for HT at the very least, plus music), and loop through a higher quality 2 channe... | |
| Comcast HDTV??? I am under the impression(from knowing how the cable companies "load stations" onto their bandwidth) that the HD is very "compressed" on cable! I know cable companies have been notorious for jamming lots of info into limited bandwidth. So I am cur... | |
| magneplanar on wall HT system - anyone listen? I agree largely with tok2000's take on the Maggies here. | |
| Speakers that sound like Thiels on steroids. "jazzdude" I'm not familiar with the Bryston Powerpack, so I can't comment. But an active speaker is any speaker design(like powered subs) where the crossover is before the amplifier, and the amp is DIRRECTLY ATTACHED TO THE DRIVER(S)!...the resul... | |
| High end vs internet Yeah. I can see that each individuals own experience with retailers is going to obviously help dicate where people ultimately put their money. If your local shop people "aren't any help", I can see the desire to buy that much easier on line!You kn... | |
| How can I add an amp to a receiver w/o amp outputs Why would you want to? Why not buy another receiver or preamp? | |
| Retail Buying - Reality Check As someone who's been around hi-end retail sales for a good portion of my life, and who knows exactly what it takes to build very good to WORLD CLASS AUDIO/VIDEO SYSTEMS and environments, I can easily say that the way "Rogocop" has conducted his b... | |
| High end vs internet I feel compeled here to speak on several points mentioned here, if for nothing, because I've worked in the high end A/v business for many years, and know first hand what the internet has done to change hi-end...Yes, it's true, the internet has cau... | |
| Best HT speaker system Deiselr, Dannyv, and C123666 all have touched on good points by mentioning "powered woofer designs" or "actives"! The dynamic potential is going to be far greater than with competetive similar "passive" designs!!! The greater control and dynamic e... | |
| Outlaw 1050 vs. Onkyo SR600 Yeah, I'd like to look into the 4ohm rating thing! Still, experience suggests to me, that even with the BIG "MUSCLE RECEIVERS"(if there's such a thing), like the Denon 5800's and the likes, I've found from first hand experience that the power from... |
