| Netflix and Tivo to stream internet movies to Tivo lol. Yeah, I'm sure they have a long way to go before it's watchable on anthing but a small screen. But ya just know this is they way it's all headed. | |
| Anybody notice DTS is hardly used anymore? Lol. Let's face it. When it comes to audio, it seems like us audiophiles and AV enthusiest alike are basically just lucky to be enjoying a few good hi rez audio formats - which may or may not eventually come down the pike - while the rest of the c... | |
| what is the weakest link in my audio chain I don't think I ever remember ANY Paradigm speaker I ever sold, EVER sounding bright, from my recollection. Infact, I think they're a little shy in the treble from what I remember.And the Bryston should keep the sound mellow. I like a little more ... | |
| what is the weakest link in my audio chain Yeah, try swaping out that HD power cord you're using for speaker wires with one run of adequate length 11 conductor sprinkler wire, or two lengths per side of 7 conductor, and see what you think! Then YOU'LL know. Good luck | |
| what is the weakest link in my audio chain There's lots of ways you could go about changing your sound. Not knowing your acoustics and setup, changing speakers yields the most dramatic change in the electronics chain. Yes, upgrading wires is a cheap (sometimes) way to tweak your sound. Tha... | |
| Rega Planet or Apollo CD Player used to sell the planet. You need to match with mellower gear. The Planet is a bit sharp on top - yes, compared to the Apollo, likely.How about a good transport and dac combo? The Theta's floating around out there are very nice, bel canto's, etc.G... | |
| 5.1Home Theatre/Music Speakers Search? Wader1971, what is your normal listening life-style? Do you sit by yourself in a "sweet spot" when you do movies/music, or do you move around the house, maybe having multi-seating?How loud do you listen? do you push your systems? Or are you more o... | |
| Which AVR to purchase Here's another thought, along the lines I mentioned. You could buy something like a newer Harmon Kardon (Stereo Dave's in Oregon Mod's these, also) AVR 247/347, with DCI Faroudja processing, 1.3a HDMI and Dolby HD and DTS Master, 1080p vid switchi... | |
| Designer Hall of Fame I met John Dunlavy on a few occasions, and did a brief 2 day tour of his factory in Colorado, before he sold the company back when. I also used to sell Dunlavy's, and was impressed with the many things his speaker designs DID RIGHT! It was a pleas... | |
| Which AVR to purchase See you can pick any of them and expect about the same "realm" of performance. My experience says Arcam has a better track record of maintainability than the NAD, if that helps. Cambridge, can't tell ya. Wait, doesn't cambridge make entry level sp... | |
| Which AVR to purchase Of course, you are forgoing all the newest DSP room correction technology (knowing that the deficiencies in your room acoustics are likely pulling the sonic integrity - and potential - down, likely) with these otherwise good sounding receivers.Tha... | |
| A Perennial Debate For Which I Seek Help Right on! - one of the better posts I've seen in a while.Kudos! I can concur and sympathize with your angst and inner turmoil here...Um, yes to all of the above. And, I'm sure performance would likely improve if we could change every connection, f... | |
| 2 bookshelves for a center Kr4, really? maybe my thinking is backwards. Because from what you're invering, if you place the speakers, say 100 feet appart, than ALL the frequencies are filtered between the speakers, and you'd be canceling out frequencies across the board - a... | |
| 2 bookshelves for a center "Separating them farther does not eliminate the interference, it simply extends it down into lower frequencies (frequencies whose 1/2 wavelength is less than the distance between the drivers)." (kr4)Yes, indeed. However, running the center channel... | |
| 2 bookshelves for a center Actually, if anything - especially for a relative novice (which most of us are, let's face it)- if you were going to go with two center speakers, I would suggest your likely best results with that arrangement would be had if you had the two center... |
