| home theater processor suggestions? Really, check out the Marantz AV7005. Read the reviews. Check with a local dealer. See if you can take one home to audition. The products in the Marantz line that use their HDAM modules are price/performance overachievers. Oh, and the AV7005 has b... | |
| Rogue Audio Cronus ...what speakers do you love ? 08-06-12: AudioconnectionAdamIf you remove the unused fender power amp/speaker from your listening room your speakers should sound better focused. Just by havingother speakers in the same room makes them behave as a trap. Certain frequencies are t... | |
| Difference between Marantz PM-11S1 and S2 Well, it looks like now we're up to the 11S3. This thing looks to be a monster--100/200 wpc into 8/4 ohms and nearly 60 lbs. at $4995.However, for half that you can either get a 15S2 Limited or a PM-KI Pearl B-stock. I totally agree about the PM80... | |
| Where would you go after Wilson WP7? The best Wilson setups I've heard were driven by VTL, ARC, or D'Agostino electronics through Transparent (Opus) cable. | |
| Where would you go after Wilson WP7? 08-11-12: OjdeteosIf you like wilson, then obvious choice is sasha, it is a great improvement from w/p series, maxx would be to big...THIS! It's easily the most logical choice. I've heard the WP7s and Sashas in extended auditions. The Sashas pick ... | |
| Ideas on speaker like Magnepan but with high WAF I second the OMD-28 suggestion. Here's The Absolute Sound review, which concludes:...your response to the OMD- 28s may have much to do with how you react to their spatial characteristics. If, like me, you favor a speaker that gets out of the way a... | |
| Rethinking my system: Your ideas are appreciated ^^^Thanks for the info Alderash. Sitting next to each other in the audition room and driven by the same source and amplification, the RX6 sounded like what it was, a compact floorstander. With the addition of one more woofer and a couple inches bi... | |
| A dilemma: Modern sound, Musical Bliss or both? If you want speakers with great dynamic range, low noise floor with very quiet cabinets, apparently linear performance, and yet with a somewhat romantic, voluptuous presentation, you need to include Sonus Faber in your search. Their level of detai... | |
| Rethinking my system: Your ideas are appreciated Since you're using a 7-channel (with 5 powered channels) AV receiver and have a subwoofer, is this a surround HT system or are you using it for 2.1 ch. stereo?I notice you're considering changing to a 2-channel integrated (Anthem 225), so I'm gues... | |
| Best Two-Way Monitor Speakers under $700 New/Used Gvasale: The use of the term, "bookshelf," has fallen out of use because these smaller speakers are no longer designed or marketed as bookshelf speakers. I.e., they are not designed or intended to be placed on bookshelves. Bookshelf speakers are u... | |
| Best Two-Way Monitor Speakers under $700 New/Used Gvsale: Since the OP mentioned that the user wanted something that would blend into his decor and color scheme, preferably in espresso or black, and that he would be placing the speakers on stands, I think that cleared up which use of "monitor" we... | |
| bass suggestions 12 x 16 room.... Many ported floorstanders these days include foam plugs for the ports for tuning the bass to the room. You might see if you can get some foam that will fit in your port(s) and see if that helps. Sometimes I place a rolled up terry washcloth (dry, ... | |
| Best Two-Way Monitor Speakers under $700 New/Used KEF XW10B or XQ20B, list price $1500 and $2000 respectively, on blowout at Vanns.com for $700 and $800 respectively. Both in gloss black, all curved lines, which should fit in with modern decor. The Absolute Sound flipped over the XQ20s, and named... | |
| home theater processor suggestions? 08-04-12: BaranowskiI guess i need to get my hands on the marantz to listen to it. i would assume that i would have to hear a difference between it and my elite. the both decode the same and both have room correction... i just wonder will i notice... | |
| bipoles/dipoles for music... 08-03-12: PhasecorrectOff axis dispersion is one of the great attributes of rear driver systems...one can be almost 90 degrees off center and still hear the separation of instruments, etc...I also enjoy the increased depth and relaxed presentation... |
