| Parasound HCA-2003A versus HCA-2200II I've sold both of those amps on a retail level over the years. I find that the difference between them is going to be minor, in terms of a sonic characterstic difference. They have a similar sound. But the 2200 does (as do most 2 channels vs mulit... | |
| $1000 HT System? Can it be done? Funny stuff Celtic66!...Is this set up primarily for around the computer or are you setting up an HT system around a larger monitor?..and just connecting your computer for background feedback?(understand?)If around the "puter", the Aego's sound fi... | |
| Biggest Sound in the Littliest Box You know Bose has made a killing with their rather aweful sounding but cleverly engineered an marketed "cube" systems over the years. I know that set up appeals to many who want to get the gear out of the sight lines, and ditch the idea of boxes o... | |
| Pro vs. Consumer Equipment My experience with pro gear is in line with what many have said here vs. consumer home stuff. One major area I tend to find largely "no contest" between the two markets, is that pro equipment tends to stomp all over most consumer high end speaker ... | |
| Do Audioquest Anacondas really make a difference? They'll surely not "hurt" you any, sound wise. They are not the best interconnects at that money however. The Acoustic Zen Matrix Ref is better at almost half of that used. But then again system synergy must be considered, as always. I don't find ... | |
| Audiofile HT system for $10K Oops....as for video gear and such, room conditions and viewing habbits might be helpful for you to fill in. If you are indeed going with a projector, there are issues to weigh here as well.I personally like the idea of "larger immage" for full ci... | |
| Audiofile HT system for $10K Well you indeed pose a pertinent question by asking "what's the best way...?" You basically can either pack all the quality gear you can into that budget, or you can pay someone to build you a system for that same money. You obviously have a lot o... | |
| You got $10000, build a system. Paradigm speakers?...amazing! It seems half of Canada uses this site!!!! Not that I don't like Canadians(even though they protested our war) I do! Infact, when I go to Vegas, I get the most pleasure from talking to Canadians I meet there!...very n... | |
| Kappa 's Biamping As for the bi-amping, just try it and listen!As for ARagon and McCormmack, there are much better options for similar money! The Pass X150, or lesser priced(now) Threshold T200, Coda 11, etc are all better sounding for up top in solid state! Sim Au... | |
| Recommendation Tube amp to drive Revel Studio Why not consult Revel? Can you bi-amp those speakers? Why not put a strong, say Parasound SS amp on the "bass posts" and a more musical/accurate/refined amp on top!?! YOu'll have better dynamic ability, and you'll have the refinement with the midr... | |
| Monitors vs Floorstanders My suggestion is to consider the M20's set to "small" on your pre/pro, letting the sub handle the bass for LOUD ROCK,TECHNO,MOVIES, ETC! You'll get much more dynamic range and dynamic ability running this way, as opposed to running even the modest... | |
| Help with speakers, equipment, satisfaction For one, there is a MASSIVE acoustical difference between your two rooms! The much larger space in the ML room is going to give you a much easier time at getting speakers and chairs properly set up for even bass response. What I've found is that i... | |
| Amplifier Recommendation for B&W Nautilis 804 The Plinius is a nice choice. Still, even the older Used Threshold T200's are as good and stronger in the bass!...and overall strong enough at 100w even. The Pass X150 is also stellar. I'd chose these later over the Plinius in my experiences with ... | |
| Looking for an amazing preamp under $700 used In a solid state preamp, to do what you're asking?...I'd have to agree with "Sogood" in that a passive unit is best soincally. You'll give up ultimate dynamics, but a sub might help ya. Although, I don't understand your problem with tube pre's, or... | |
| Home Theater System Advice I personally would sell the Infinity's(or maybe move to another room), and start over with a COMPLETE new system! You need to concentrate on getting a cohesive matching speaker package together first, then find out what receiver/amp/processor, etc... |
