| WireWorld HDMI: Starlight 6 VS Island 6 You should try the Redmere's direct to the display especially from the Oppo 105. I agree as far as the audio assessment goes I compared it to a Pangea H24 with 6% silver over Pocc which is great for multichannel sacd and indeed noted fuller sound ... | |
| JL Audio E110 vs REL R328 vs REL R218 If bass accuracy is paramount add the new series of subs from Ken Kresiel the DXD808 is a must for your short list! I have its larger sibling the DXD12012 and its the best bass I've heard period and has the lowest distortion measured. | |

| Anthem & Xfinity I had an AVM 20v2 with old motorola dvr, you need to select a different sound mode when its only a 2/ch signal say PLII, Anthem's own or DTS NEO. | |
