| What’s your vote for the most ridiculous, overpriced, and useless tweak? Before moving on to the best, let me add my two cents about the worst. Without a doubt, for me nothing comes close to the original Tice power conditioner (don't recall very well anymore, but it was some sort of frozen clock radio -- possibly). I... | |
| Active Subwoofer Recommendations I use two subs — left and right — powered 8” Velodynes. The bass is utterly awesome. It is almost as if the room shakes. 😁 | |
| Audio Doctor goes to Axpona observations so far I found two rooms at AXPONA 2019 to be my personal standouts this year. The first demo'd Rockport Cygnus speakers driven by all CH Precision electronics and an Auralic Aries streamer; "Life" by Ludovico Einaudi was played. This recording was my ... | |
| Best HT speaker system I can only speak from experience, having had systems that were first B&W, next Dunlavy and now Revel Ultima. My current system consists of the Revel Studios (as the main left-right speakers), the Voice (as the center speaker), the Embraces (fo... | |
| Revel Salon/Studio Owners What setup do you use? Besides my Studios, I also have the Voice w/ aluminum pedestal, two Embraces, and two B-15s. Driving them are a Krell 200C and a Krell KAV-250a/3. My source components include the Proceed PAV/PDSD combo preamp/decoder (which is old, and I am waiti... | |
| What amps do you use with your Revel Salons/Studio I use a Krell 200C and am most pleased. Perhaps another amp might prove superior, but I and my friends find its sound remarkable. | |
| Speakers to hang on to for LIFE I will make this brief! After owning two excellent speaker systems previously--Acoustat 2+2S and Dunlavy SC-IV, I bought the Revel Studio. For me, at least, the Studios are the ones, period. Perhaps I am fortunate having the combination of electro... | |
| Will new power cords by my answer? Yes,in part, but I suggest that you also consider replacing the Monster power conditioner with another unit that is less constrictive. | |
| Subwoofer ratings by Widescreen Review mag Since the time of the Widescreen Review articles, there have been some significant improvements in subwoofer technology implemented by a number of speaker manufacturers, the most noteworthy of which is parametric equalization. Companies like Vande... | |
| Synergistic cable match for Krell + B&W Nautilus I suggest that you try one of the better Tara Labs or Transparent Audio cables. | |
| Help with new speakers Before purchasing any speaker, please try to listen to the Revel M-20s. For $1,000 each, they are quite a bargin--and they leave you with money left over to purchase a subwoofer, like the Revel B-15 which mates extremely well with them. | |
| Monster Cable Kicks Butt? With due respect to many of the other respondees, I have found that Monster Cable cables fall short of their advertised claims. Last year, I had my own shoot-out of 8' biwired speaker cables (Krell 200c amplifier to Dunlavy SC-IVs), and both my wi... | |
| Equi=Tech Balanced Power vs. ? As I continue to browse forums and sites to find out about still more line conditioners, I ran across one manufactured by SMART Theater Systems of Norcross, GA called the GC-120. The engineering looks good, the claims relatively free of hyperbole,... | |
