| Best Standard Def DVD Player under $8,000 used? "Remember when everyone went from LPs to CD, tubes to SS, mono to stereo to multi-channel. Now they are all back to the tried and true technologies/topologies."Yeah, that's not exactly the same situation here. Analogy is bad here, I think. You're ... | |
| Home theater crossover question Yeah, what Kr4 said... | |
| Home theater crossover question I'm having an epiphany at the moment, as I don't think I'm properly processing your quandary. I think you are correct, if your sub doesn't have a bypass, then you're limited to crossing over at or bellow that 120 hz setting. But I could be missing... | |
| Best Standard Def DVD Player under $8,000 used? Yes, we are all avoiding your question Tom. We are simply stunned by your purchasing proposition. You'll have to forgive us. But it's no fun to delve into your question. We'd rather ridicule and chastise your for your viewpoints - lol.Yep, as Skip... | |
| What's wrong with Velodyne? Always cracked me up how manufactures start off with those strict and stringent distribution and marketing strategies to the hi-end stores - and how they put the screws to their dealers to stay withing rigid guidelines - so as to keep their produc... | |
| What kind of active speakers? Bob, I actually have presumed - from reading some articles, somewhere - that near field monitors were designed specifically for a "close monitoring" setup, exclusively. I thought that they designed the crossover and driver compliments in these spe... | |
| What kind of active speakers? Um, cause I don't see any speakers like this marketed for home theater, that's why! When I think Mackie, Genelec, and then some active JBL's, I automatically think "Pro audio: - and then I think "pro studio" - and then yet again I think "near-fiel... | |
| Yamaha vs Marantz vs Denon I'd be looking at the Harmon Kardon AVR-354 and/or the best Denon you can afford for your speakers. The HK's have always delivered excellent current for a receiver, and are the most refined at that price point. Still, I'd be using some receiver li... | |
| Yamaha vs Marantz vs Denon I've sold all those brands for about a decade and a half, and I have to completely disagree with Doggg. The Denon is anything but analytical, while at different price points, Marantz's sound has been somewhat of a mixed bag. If anything, the Yamah... | |
| What kind of active speakers? Thanks Bob.Oh BTW Bob, are those JBL's "near-field monitors" or are they also applicable for typical medium or better domestic living space or average home theater, in terms of design/dispersion, etc? My first thought is they appear to be near-field. | |
| 3 channel tube amp for home theater? Um, the answer is NO. No one makes just a 3 channel tube amplifier, that I'm aware of anyway.I'm quite certain if anyone does/did make a multi-channel tube amp for HT, it would be at least 6 channels, I think. | |
| What kind of active speakers? No but if you do find a good solution, let us know! Besides the ones mentioned above, I only know of a few brands off hand that would do a superb - reasonably affordable? - active mini monitor offering for such purposes.(Old M&K THX actives, B... | |
| What should be my next upgrade? Speakers? "Re cables, for a good read that was written by a person who is both a noted authority and someone who sells (non-cable) product to both the audiophile and professional markets"Oh oh! Looks like we gotta "cables do/don't matter" war brewin again!-... | |
| Best Big Sub? or duals? I think "feedback" means everyone else liked it, so he got one. LOL.Hope it works well for you. Let us know! | |
| sealed vs vented subwoofers Um, I've sold just about every kind of sub on the market over the years, and owned a variety of both. I'd say that, overall, the more musically accurate subs I've come across where "sealed" designs. But then I've had some excellent ported designs.... |
