| Proper DAC Upgrade for my modest system. Untill you get into Hi Rez music, the Wadia is all you will need, it is a great DAC. Start looking into surround sound separates, or a pre amp with Home Theater bypass, like a PS Audio, or similar. Your pre amp and amps should be your next step. | |
| Subwoofer Decision Why did you not mention Velodyne subwoofers? I would look at a DD 12 Plus. It has both balanced and single ended in/out. It has room and system equalization built in. At around $2,500 it might be too expensive, and that is why you eliminated it. | |
| mcintosh home theater pre-amp tuners. You do not have to be an audiophile to appreciate good equipment. The MX132 is a huge upgrade from a Marantz 4300 either the 4300 surround receiver, or the classic quad receiver. The gear you have now is better than 99.99% of the systems people li... | |
| mcintosh home theater pre-amp tuners. For the price you paid, you did just fine. The only way you would improve your preamp would be to spend a lot more money on a 2 channel unit. The problem with 2 channel preamps now is a lot of people buy a new one to keep up with the DACs codecs b... | |
| Whole House Mains Wiring -- Ping: Jea48 (Jim) -- & ALL Others for your HELP! The need for multiple circuits is well documented in the AV world. A high quality AV receiver can draw 12 to 15 amps when playing a movie at what most people consider a realistic listening volume. If you consider a high end system with a separate ... | |
| Whole House Mains Wiring -- Ping: Jea48 (Jim) -- & ALL Others for your HELP! When dealing with large systems getting enough circuits is very important. Figure one 20 amp circuit, terminated in a duplex outlet per power amplifier or powered speaker. Hospital quality plugs also are worth the investment. A 20 amp circuit can ... | |
| Will a new sub sound better than my Velodyne F1200? Get a newer Velodyne properly sized for your room. I just replaced a 1991 ULD 15 with a DD15+, and there is quite a difference in output and detail.No other sub on the market will have the detail of a Velodyne. | |
| How do I power my 800D(3)s bo1972 If you are advocating the products you sell, then you are acting with more bias than a reviewer who is compensated by a third party media company. You will only advocate what you sell. | |
| How do I power my 800D(3)s bo1972 the only thing you can pick on is stage depth? In my experience, I sold and installed high end audio for 9 years, the perceived sound stage of a system, depth, width and height, was much more a product of the environment and set up than the... | |
| What are the smallest speakers that are clean and flat down to 20hz? What you ask is impossible, as others have mentioned. Get a set of "bookshelf" style speakers or a small(ish) tower speaker and a good sub woofer, REL, Velodyne, etc. When properly matched and tuned, they can best all but the best full size speake... |
