Help for girlfriend HT speaker system???
OK, I'vve already got clothes there, don't worry, I'm not the marrying type (don't want kids so why would you?).Yes, the receiver will power any impedance speaker within reason. The Gallo's are way cool looking, I've not heard them, but have heard... 
How to kill 2 birds with 1 stone
Genelec makes some speakers that might work for you, they'll certainly cover like music, and don't sound to ad. 
Linn Sub - Sizmik
I haven't heard the Sizmik, but I love my AV 5150! 
Who R U 100K version ?
NONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!He runs the Snell studio monitor B's up front with the rest of Snell surrounds (dipoles) and center. It's a dedicated theater room, and his wife gave him free reign. The rest of the system is all Levinson /P... 
Who R U 100K version ?
Estrnad, I must disagree with you, one of my best friends has over $150K in his HT, which he has moved himself for three moves in the last two years (while building his house where it hopefully shall reside for some time) and he's quite the ''hi-f... 
Do the surrounds really need much power
See my post on the other thread you started Robedk for my experience. 
Surrounds don't need as much power
I've made several progressive upgrades in my HT involving different power amps, amps from different manufacturers, etc. Yes, I agree with the logic, the rears would seem to need less power. That said, logic isn't always true.I have used higher pow... 
Priorities, who makes the rules anyway?
I also can see the sense here. You guys mised the 'single side' to this. I you keep them as girlfriends, you can easily afford both the car and the HT! I seem to be exactly on this line, with about equal money in both the HT and car, and interesti... 
Hot Setup? Pre/Pro for HT and 2ch
J Thunders, I suggest skipping the AVP not because of the DAC's, and you're right, the R/L are the same in the AVP and PDSD, but the PAV is far superior handling analog than the AVP.And Chester, I agree, got mine as a one week old demo for $4200 i... 
Speaker upgrade - please advise.
Vader007Not only do you have the coolest name I've seen (Tubegroover's bumped from the top!) You have common sense and gave great advice!!Now for my .02...... How anyone could listen to B&W speakers and an amp as bright as Bryston (yes, I'm su... 
Hot Setup? Pre/Pro for HT and 2ch
Several others to consider are the Linn AV 5103, Proceed PAV/PDSD combo (skip the AVP if two channel is a big concren), and, if you can afford it, wait for the Mark Levinson HT processor.....at $25,000, it's a little more than I can spend! Make th... 
I am Not hurting anything right ??
Sccampbell,Regardless of whether or not you use a jumper or not on biwired speakers, you ARE feeding a full-range signal to both crossovers! I agree with the rest, just correcting the oversight.... 
It never ends....
Hey Vermonter, I can totally understand your purchases! Especially since my tax refunds also went to paying off my debt from residency and stereo stuff... I'm single, and fortunately for me, my girlfriend understands (or at least tolerates, as lon... 
Aragon 8008 X5 drives B W Nautilus 803 ?
I used to have an Aragon 4004 Mk II with a pair of B&W 803 Matrix, it certainly had enough power, but I personally found the highs a little harsh for the B&W's.Just my .02 
4 Mono s
Abstract7, I'm glad to hear of your success with different amps on the ML Monoliths, my brother's just finishing his house and plans on using a pair of the monolith III's with the active crossover, a Krell KSA 300s and an Aragon 4004 Mk II (I plan...
