| Which pre/pro under 3k? I have the Yamaha CXA5000, I had a chance to compare it side by side with the Marantz AV7701 and AV8801 in my house. The Yam blows the 7701 away, the 2 channel is better on the Yam vs the 8801, but i believe the HT is better on the 8801, but not $... | |
| One or two subs Guys, thank you for all your responses. Ive decided to go with two Rel T7s. My pre is the yamaha cxa5000, has dual sub outputs but the second output saids for rear sub, should i just plug into that or get a RCA splitter, thanks and will update onc... | |
| Usher Grand Towers Actually i was there couple of weeks ago and checked them out. I was not very impressed, the bass overwhelmed anything coming out of speakers. I was impressed by the Parasound amp though. Will check out the sale when it happens. | |
| Arcam And HDMI My buddy has a Arcam and had the same issue. We found after much research, if the version of the HDMI is not correct, will have issues ie if your source is a older HDMI then the Arcam. | |
| One or two subs For the members who have two subs, how is it positioned? | |
| One or two subs Thank you all for your responses. After doing some online research, looks like I'll need to go with a one sub set up as my living room is not optimal for a 2 sub set up. If I am facing the tv, the wall is to my left and the additonal space and kit... | |
| One or two subs Unfortunately I have one of those living and dining room combos. 12x26 with 10 foot ceilings. | |
| Sound issues Thank you, the issue has been resolved, replaced the Marantz with the Yamaha CXA5000, replaced the front speakers with SF Cremonas and replaced the surge protector with a Furman. | |
| Marantz AV7701 I've had the same issue with my 7701, i actually went through 3 brand new units all with same hum. I replaced it with the 8801 with no issues. Called tech support asked them why, and they just said the 8801 is a better unit. My buddy has the 7701 ... | |
| Marantz AV7701 Tsulzbacher, I had same issue with my 7701. In fact, I went through three brand new units and calling tech support as well talking to my retailer. The tech support was not helpful, and said basically they had no idea. I replaced the 7701 with the ... | |
| Thinking I need a Sub... I have the Rel R218 mated with Cremona Ms, just the right amount of extension for my ears. My buddy has the T7, and the bass is not as refined. | |
| Totem Element Metal vs B&W 803d? I auditioned the metal, 803 and Cremonas. Too me the 803 tweeter was too bright. It was a choice between the Cremonas and metal, I went with the Cremonas, as to my ears, the most accurate. I use a Mac MC205 for amp. | |
| Speaker cables for SF Cremona Ms Thanks for the suggestions, as much as I would love to get the Yter, just not in the budget. | |
| Deciding between Yamaha or Marantz Unfortunately, I do not have a sub, so can't say. | |
| Deciding between Yamaha or Marantz Hey guys, those that still care. I decided to go with the Yamaha. I've had the AV8801 for about 3 weeks to demo while the Yam was on order. When I first set the Yam up and listened, it blew my socks off. It reminded me of the first time I went int... |
