| best or craziest speakers' design.. Electronluv - WOW... looks like something straight out of Willy Wonka's factory! haha | |
| help using the new Meridian MSR+ with older 861 Yes - you need a null-modem cable for the software to find the 861. I was told by Meridian to use the Keyspan USB/Serial adaptor in conjuntion with the null-modem.Let me guess - you have a Dell laptop? :)Are you sure the remote has batteries? haha... | |
| help using the new Meridian MSR+ with older 861 Royy -That's strange - I am using an MSR+ with my V.2 with no problems. Have you tried all the buttons (inputs, volume, etc.)?Worst case give Meridian tech support a call - they are very helpful. | |
| Linn AV5140 & 5120 advice Congrats! Next step - take them Aktiv!!I'm sure you will enjoy them. 5140's were my first "real" speaker that I ever owned... so they have a special place in my heart. They are very good - especially for the price you paid. | |
| Amplifiers:A Keeper for Life. Do you know of one ? I'm still on my honeymoon with my Levinson 336.Actually I have a few items that I don't see parting with. Among them my 10T's, CC5 and my Meridian 861.My wife ain't bad either! :) | |
| Linn AV5140 & 5120 advice I agree with Patternlou the 5140/5120 is a great setup. I would highly recommend another pair of 5140's as surround if you can. I ran that system for many years and it's fantastic. I still use 5140's for surrounds.If you do go with these speakers ... | |
| Anthem vs Krell vs Meridian Dan - I would like to clarify that my comments about the MC12 were primarily related to 2-channel not multi-channel.I am probably 50/50 HT/2-channel so I spent quite a bit of time comparing them. I still feel the 861 is significantly better in 2-c... | |
| Anthem vs Krell vs Meridian I have compared the D1, 861, G68, MC12, and a few others. To my ears it wasn't even close - I ended up with an 861.The G68 is good - but not as good as the 861 - not to mention the fact that the 861 is modular for easy upgrading.I thought the Meri... | |
| What is the best DAC ever made? I'll second the Meridian 861. :) | |
| Best bargain for speaker that can offer top sound Aerial 10T | |
| Velodyne Spl series vs. SVS Subs I'm very happy with my PB 12+/2. The JL stuff wasn't around when I bought mine - but I'd certainly consider one.From my understanding it's quite a bit more than the $1299 I paid for my sub. I will agree that it's big - but WAF isn't an issue for m... | |
| Levinson Amps: What do they really sound like? To my ears Levinson amps are very listenable and musical.I work from home and am able to listen all day long. I never find my ears fatigued.I will agree that they may not give you the "excitement" that you hear with some amps - but I think that is... | |
| What's the difference between Proceed's amplifiers I recently sent my Levinson amp in for service. It was turned around in about 3 weeks. I know that there was a time where service was an issue due to the transfer of ownership.But in my experience - Harman did an excellent job servicing my old 336... | |
| Aerial 10T / Levinson 336 Mike - thanks for the recommendations I'll look into them for sure.Hope all is well with you! | |
| Album which you have listened to most? Shangri-la Mark Knopfler |
