| Denon DVD-5910 Transport for a DAC??? Actually Readster, I'm trying to get RBCD playback to as close to SACD sound quality as possible without going all out and buying the dCS equipment setup. Unfortunately the dCS setup seems to be the only solution offered by professional reviewers ... | |
| Denon DVD-5910 Transport for a DAC??? Thank you so far for the initial replies. I realize I should have stated that I am interested in A+ class DACs, in the price range of 5000-15000 USD.I will definitely look at the MSB web site. A few devices I am considering so far are the Lavry DA... | |
| B & W speaker upgrade suggestions Hey Oakiris, my dealer hooked me up and let me trade back in all my B&W 7 series gear at the cost I payed to put towards a pair of 802Ds. I'll have my 802Ds delivered this coming Tuesday. Guess I'll have to start saving up again to make my hi-... | |
| Best 10K Speaker I disagree with Judy. Most particularly because he/she has an obvious negative bias against B&W as noted in other posts he/she has made. His/Her bias goes far enough to make things up which are not true and cannot be proved. Besides this appar... | |
| B & W speaker upgrade suggestions If I were you, and since you do have a lot of money left over now, I would just use the same speaker for everything, except the sub. Lay one on its side for a center (or don't depending on your TV setup) and get two for the rears. I've heard it is... | |
| B & W speaker upgrade suggestions During this time I was trying to decide between upgrading my fronts to B&W 802Ds or 803Ds. I finally decided to go all out for my room size and save up for the 802Ds with a Bryston 14B SST for the extra 2 channel amp to bring my system up to f... | |
| Best Cd Player under $100,000 I see you are looking for a CDP that I need to bring back from the future. No problem, with the rising price of oil and the deflating value of the dollar, I will only need to go 1 year ahead in time to bring one back for you. | |
| B & W speaker upgrade suggestions Cool looking speakers (just looked at their site). My wife might actually go for those in an area of the house that I don't control, like the bedroom. She just agreed, by not saying "no", that I could put some floorstanders in the bedroom in a yea... | |
| Wife Acceptance Factor Reply to Mitch4t: Just put it in the prenuptial. She might lie! | |
| B & W speaker upgrade suggestions I haven't heard anything bad about them except what I said above: "Rolled off top-end", in reviews, and strange online marketing tactics. It is hard to tell because of the latter whether the enthusiasm seen in the past in fora like AVS is due to h... | |
| B & W speaker upgrade suggestions BTW, I thought they were manufactured overseas in China? | |
| B & W speaker upgrade suggestions The posts were on AVS Forum and Audioholic forum. Not sure if there are others, but when I researched the company those were the sites I found them on. | |
| B & W speaker upgrade suggestions Also, Rotel is now owned by B&W, so they are supposed to be well mated. Not sure if this is true, but it would seem to hold to some degree that the company would want to insure that their products would mate well. I almost bought those same Ro... | |
| B & W speaker upgrade suggestions Aren't the Rocket speakers reviewed as a litle "rolled off the top"? I would be careful with mail order direct speakers. I don't trust items I can't go to a store and hear next to other well-received speakers. I suppose you could ask your local de... | |
| B & W speaker upgrade suggestions Look for speakers that don't require gobs of power and also sound like music. Not something arid, cold, and lacking dynamics.I think any poster that sums up an entire speaker company's speaker lines in such generalized (obviously negatively prejud... |
