| Any one else like the class D ICE power amps? For home theater, you would be hard pressed to find a better price performer than the now discontinued NHT Power 5 Amplifier. 5 channels at 200W per channel Class D. Incredibly silent, powerful, accurate and cool running. | |
| Processor Upgrade from Onkyo 885 I too would bet on your speakers and room acoustics...however the audyssey processing in that unit should provide excellent correction, assuming you're using it and set it up correctly. Keep in mind that the 5:1 audio sent with HDTV signals is not... | |
| Processor Upgrade from Onkyo 885 what are you hoping to gain by "upgrading"\? Other than the brand name, what doesn't it do that you need and would like it to do? | |
| Hardwire vs Powerline/bridge? It's not a question of security...the powerline speed depends on the quality of your electical system and the distance between the powerline units. It is good for short runs, but of course the signal must go all the way back to your electric panel... | |
| Good Sounding Speaker that Won't Attract Thieves? Do you really think a crack adict has a clue about speaker brands or models...that's funny. If you want to dissuade someone, then make it look like it's not worth anything because the cabinet is painted/gouged/generally ugly. Your best bet would p... | |
| Old fart needs help with speakers and power req's oh..I forgot. If you do want to sell those antique old speakers, send me a note....I'd be willing to pay the shipping to take them off your hands...:) | |
| Old fart needs help with speakers and power req's I laughed when I read your post...but not for the reason you thought! The L100's were and still are outstanding speakers although I'm sure your original foam covers have deteriorated by now and you're probably running them with nothing in front to... | |
| Refurbishing a pair of KLH model six speakers Likely that you get to the crossovers by removing the woofer and any filling that's inside the speaker. If there is any sort of tweeter level control, it's likely that corrosion in that control is the problem. This was/is a common problem on AR 2a... | |
| speakers to mate with Fisher 500c receiver? why not go with a pair of speakers that were contemporaries of the 500c. I would match the 500c with a pair of AR-3a's or JBL L100's...both outstanding speakers in their day (and pretty darn good even today). | |
| long term components AR 3a's, McIntosh C26 and 2505 for 40 years. It's now an impressive home office system. | |
| Are lossless Codec's worth upgrading my processor That's exactly why some bluray players have built in decoding and analog outputs....you only need to decode in one place. Just connect the analog outputs to your processor using 6 cables...not 5. | |
| Which would you prefer ATI 2505 vs Cary Cinema 5 AMike: Most homes are built with AWG 14 wire which is rated for 15 amps. 14 gauge and 15 amp circuits IS current code (2005 NEC). However, it's easy to check what you have: just look in one's circuit breaker box and see what the rating is on each ... | |
| What's the latest word on the Emotiva UMC-1? user reviews are in the emotiva processors/preamps section of the forums on their site. | |
| Which cable do you think is most important? One problem with sound is that it is "in the eyes of the listener". One can change speakers, change cables, change the room and all, to some extent, change the sound that you hear. For the better or not is up to the listener and there is, and can ... | |
| What's the latest word on the Emotiva UMC-1? I am on the pre-order list for the UMC-1. I have an audyssey multiEQ stand alone box, so I don't need any room Eq in the processor.....and even thought the UMC-1 has room equalization, I'm hoping I can bypass it because the price is terrific. Dolb... |
