| HT pre-amp/proccessor advise. Have you considered the Outlaw 990? It has received nice professional reviews, and according to the threads on the Outlaw forums, it has sonic improvements over the 950 as well as more/newer features. I just ordered the Sherwood P-965, upon which ... | |
| Dipole surround speaker to match KEF 104.2? Thanks for the info. I will start looking around for a used 200 C. There are none listed on Audiogon or Ebay right now. | |
| Dipole surround speaker to match KEF 104.2? Thank you for the good suggestions. The Dolby website does recommend identical speakers, but interestingly the THX website recommends "diffuse" surrounds (dipoles) on the sides, and monopole back surrounds placed together, for 7.1 use.Maybe for cr... | |
| Best preamp in an AV receiver Bailey, your name has changed. Are you in Canberra or Korea? :)Adcom has a new AV receiver that looks very impressive. It is over my budget though. I have not heard it or read any reviews for it yet, but my older Adcom tuner-preamp and power amps ... | |

| Good passive subwoofer? Oh, another question. Is phase control more important with one sub or two subs, or is it equally important with both? | |
| Good passive subwoofer? Thanks to all for the very helpful info. I looked at the VMPS website; it appears not to have been updated since 2002. Their phone number still works, so I left a message.I will check out the other suggested brands as well.How important is the pha... | |
| Preamp output voltage? P.S. -- Thanks to all for the feedback on pre-out voltage. I am seeing numerous comments in the Outlaw forums about how the 1070 needs to have its volume knob and/or channel trim controls turned up higher than usual to get a decent volume. This wo... | |
| Preamp output voltage? I am not familiar with the Denon 3300 but I assume it does not have all of the current surround modes including ProLogic IIx etc... I would prefer to get as many of the currently available surround modes as possible. I almost bought the Denon 3805... | |
| Preamp output voltage? Thanks for the helpful feedback! Yes, I do fret over minutiae before buying something new. Isn't that part of being an audio nut? :)With the Adcom GTP-500II preamp, the volume knob travels from about 7 o'clock (zero volume) to 5 o'clock (max). Usi... |
