| do you have a sperate audio and HT system? I am an avid 2 channel advocate, as well as a HT multi channel junkie. I DO NOT LIKE to compromise teh integrity of my sonics, at ANY TIME!!! If I can't have quality sound, from any of the systems I may set up, I would rather not at all. I've come... | |
| Proac Future point Five vs Thiel 2.3- Opinions I used to own the 2.3's, and they were excellent for your purposes. They DID NEED a very strong amp to do them properly(like over 250w/ch AB amp or stronger. They are a hard load in places, so don't skrimp there. I have heard most of the Proac's, ... | |
| B&W 804 nautilus OR Revel f30 That's pretty close really. Infact performance wise, it's pretty "side-ways" between the two. I doubt you'll lose with either. You can also biamp either, or throw a Parametric EQ on the "bottom bass" posts for ultimate bass performance with em. Ei... | |
| Musical Fidelity Experts needed.. I've limited to NO experience with the Musical Fidelity line myself. However a friend of mine who's very into high end gear, said a friend of his has a $5k MF integrated that sounded as good or better than just about anything he's heard to date! I... | |
| Good Two Channel to OK Five Channel Stay away from the Lexicon processors if you value high end, clear, musical, refined sound quality...my experiences anyway. The Classe SSP25 used should be all you need, or the Krell HTS that's on the used listing here pressently for $1800 will be... | |
| Best spkrs for rock: Dunlavy V-Watt/Puppy-Revel?? Hum..toughy. The Dunlavy 5's ARE a faster sounding speaker than the Aerial 10t's for the record. The perception of speed is reinforced by dual tandum drivers at the different frequencies(For the Dun's)in a time aligned coherent array. This set up ... | |
| Riddle me this... My feeling for this kind of a trend is related to a few things. One, I think the trend now for a lot of companies is to multi channel gear, which even by the THX standard thing is promoting 100 watts/ch or more. And having been working around high... | |
| any comments on the rotel 1066 surround processor? Might I suggest another sellection to complent your gear?! The weak spot in that set up, even if you only use the Rotel as a digital HT preamp only, is going to be the Rotel itself! While ok midfi gear, the Rotel is no cleaner than many receiver p... | |
| What is your most beautiful component? I've sold a lot of gear over the years, and still like the beautiful lines of the SF speaker line as a whole. My favorite pieces where my Sonus F. Minima Amators. They were DEAD SEXY to my eyes, and where very nice sounding speakers with the right... | |
| Worst speakers at Stereophile show I'm currious to know which room your guy's are refering to that you heard the "Verity Audio Parsifal" speakers in? I seem to rember them being in at least a couple of diffferent rooms last Jan. I'm not a big Verity fan per se, but did think they s... | |
| Anybody have help me with wall MOUNTED speakers? Yes the Gallos sound nice(almost like NHT superzero's sonically, but a tick less treble extension). However, sounds like this gentleman is considering more upscale and refind speakers overall. If I were you, I might consider going to audition the ... | |
| Should I upgrade my pre-amp? You could find a used Audio REsearch LS2 at around $500 range that would sound excellent, especially if you upgrade tubes some time. It would be much better. If you wanted to do the ultra clear "passive" route, you could find an inexpensive passiv... | |
| Vienna Acoustics Vs Sonus Faber PSB Golds are not as refined as above, but better for HT than the SF's and Viennas. The Golds are rolled off on highs a bit, don't have that razors edge immaging, and are somewhat warm tonally overall. They Still make good rock and roll speakrs wi... | |
| Vienna Acoustics Vs Sonus Faber The Viennas require different speakers than the SF Piano's for certain! However, you can get good sound with both with the right gear. System matching is mondo important always.good luck... | |
| HT advice I think I can handle this one better than most here from an experience stand point. And I myself have been in a similar place as you, with the similar kinds of music demands and tastes! I like music that is VERY DYNAMIC AND DEMANDING(even at lower... |
