| EAD TM 8000 or Theta Casablanca I standart dacs Do you want multichannel inputs?? If so, the theta won't work for you, if you do, the EAD is a nice piece, though the multichannel input will use 6 or 8 analog ins..... | |
| If Thiel, Wilson, Sonus, made active speakers????? Exertflutter,Yes, I am happy, I loved going active with the fronts in my HT so much that I ultimately went active all around and can't look back! Full size speakers for surrounds, active might seem like overkill, and I know the wiring is a nightma... | |
| What sub do "U" use ? Linn AV 5150.....beauty and a beast! | |
| If Thiel, Wilson, Sonus, made active speakers????? Well, FWIW YES! I already have as I run a fully active Linn HT system. Just to set the record straight, there are some downsides.1) Cost. I run 14 channels of amplification for a 5 speaker set up (OK the sub has another, but most do so I left this... | |
| Active speaker, the future? or another fad? Linn has had Active systems for a long time now. I am one who owns one and can say the step up from passive, even passive tri-amped to active was huge! That said, my system is incredibly cumbersome to dismantel and reassemble, which I unfortunatel... | |
| SACD - Dying already? Slappy, I fear you might be right.I fear it as I have recenty dove into the high res format thing and LOVE them! I do find some discs (usually SACD and DVD-A are grouped together) in some local chains, fewer in the local shops.... I have always wo... | |
| New to SACD--so what do I buy? How about Elton John's " Good Bye Yellow Brick Road" and for something 'different' I'd highly recomend Dr Chesky's Magnificent, Fabulous Absurd Insane 5.1 Surround Sampler. It's got some really cool stuff, for both 2 channel and surround that is a... | |
| What DVD should I use? I found the sound in 'The League of Extrordinary Gentlemen' to be amazing, movies pretty lame, but the bass, and unfortunately for you if you only have two channel, the surround effects are top notch. It was so good in this regard, I'm still consi... | |
| Please recommend SACD player under $6K - "warm" Thanks guys, hadn't checked out this post in a while, and in the meantime found a dealer who got me mine two weeks ago. Pretty sweet player!!!Now I'm in the hunt for the money for the new pre/pro.... | |
| Pass Labs X-1000 monoblocks No, but i'm sure I'd love to if I could, and with that power, I likely could, hear the music over the noise of the extra A/C units they would require here in Florida!!!!If you live WAY up north, they would make great heaters, and likely sound amaz... | |
| System upgrade suggestions I have a suggestion.... Yes, it is a small room, but you could easily improve your system, and keep the sound by getting a pair of Linn 5140's. The footprint isn't significantly bigger than the stands you must have the Tukans on, and they will rea... | |
| Best All time 5.1 Pre/Pro I'm never sorry about upgrading! I just seem to skip a vacation......wait a minute, I'm off this week and home! Oh yeah, that's what paid for the DV-50!Guess I'll need to work for a few weeks again....Thanks for all the help! | |
| Best All time 5.1 Pre/Pro Well, after much consideration, I'm heading towards the EAD 8800 Pro, if all goes well, it will be here in a few months...... just can't get away with too many upgrades too fast without the wife getting some furniture or something! | |
| What's good used 5.1pre/pro for $1500 or less If you want something really amazing and cheap, consider the Proceed PAV/PDSD combo, they went for $10K new, and sell now for ~1500 used. They are built like tanks and sound far better than the AVP they came out with later.... I won't say anything... | |
| How do you get to listen to high end speakers? I agree with the rest of the guys, I wouldn't have bought the cable, and wouldn't frequent that dealer anymore. I don't like some of the practices of my local dealer, but they are always happy to show me anything they have! |
