| Add an Amp or Integrated to AVR? I'm back at it trying to improve my 2-channel sound. Thinking about adding a pre with a HT bypass in combination with the 5B-ST. That way my front 3 will still be voiced the same, but still get me out of the 3806 as a preamp. Crazy???? | |
| 40ft: speaker cable or interconnect? On doing some more thinking, I've concluded that I really do not want to locate my amp/amps up near the speakers. If this were a 2-channel listening-only system, I wouldn't have a problem. But since it is my combined 2-channel, HT rig in a dedicat... | |
| 40ft: speaker cable or interconnect? I tired last night to get a balanced connector through the flexible conduit but it won't fit. Unbalanced works fine. I don't want to push the wire through and then put a connector on after it passes through. That means I'd need to use unbalanced o... | |
| 40ft: speaker cable or interconnect? While my amp is balanced (Bryston 5B-ST) I'm driving it from a Denon 3806 receiver (obviously unbalanced.) I went through a bunch of gear including Outlaw 990, Halo C2, Sherbourne 7/2100A and Gemstone to arrive where I am now. I wanted a good soun... | |
| Add an Amp or Integrated to AVR? In case anyone is interested, I decided to add a Bryston 3-channel 5B-ST to the Denon 3806. I figured this is a safe move for now as they hold their value well and will allow me to try the amp only route rather than springing for a integrated that... | |
| Add an Amp or Integrated to AVR? You both seem to confirm some comments I've gotten before. Adding the integrated will yield the greatest 2-channel sonic benefit. I'll probably go that route when I see the right unit come available. I've think I narrowed it to the Mac 6500, Krell... | |
| Outlaw 990 vs B & K Reference 50 I had a Parsound Halo C2 and switched over to the Outlaw 990. All in all I think its a very nice piece and even comes close to how the Halo sounded. BTW, the Halo was almost 4x the price of the Outlaw. The Outlaw has two benefits that I see over t... | |
| Quality small sub for HT and music Seems like I'm answering my own questions here, but for those interested.....I ordered a single Force today. Going to test drive one before springing for a second. The Pres and founder of ACI (Mike Dzurko) swears that you can't tell the difference... | |
| Quality small sub for HT and music I've heard about the Velodyne DD subs. Good...but very expensive. I'm leaning toward an ACI product. However, rather than getting a Titan and matching it with the M&K MX-70 I just added, I'm thinking about returning the M&K and getting a p... | |
| Looking for an amazing preamp under $700 used A Proceed PRE has the HT pass-through which you also desire. I had a McCormack TLC-1 and compared it side-by-side with the PRE. I thought the PRE was a clear winner. It had a more dynamic sound and deeper soundstage. I just plain like it's sound b... | |
| dynaudio or M & k for home theater I agree strongly with Keithr. My dedicated theater began with Definitive BP2002TL as mains, CLR2500 center, BP2x sides and 6.5” 2-way in-wall rears. Threw a big soundstage but something was still lacking.I then converted over to M&K S-150 for ... | |
| Improvement over Kimber/Ixos combination? Mine are actually fairly expensive Ixos interconnects. I believe there is only 1 or 2 models better in their line. They were somewhere near MSRP $200 for a 1M pair.John |
