| Marantz AV7005 vs McIntosh MX-120 There is NO guarantee that the Mclntosh will be the better unit. Many "high-end" boutique companies are simply exploiting brand-name association to give an air of quality and somehow justify their much higher prices. (in fact that high price is an... | |
| frequency range for instrument vs speaker For me, having a flat response down to at least 30hz is also for hearing the space the music was recorded in. I like listening to a lot of live recorded jazz tracks and such and find the low bass replays the resonance of the particular room of the... | |
| Smooth/Musical Bookshelves upto $1500 - $2000 "I'm looking for the long haul. I will keep this purchase for many years to come"Then forget the Image B6 and go for one of the other two... or even check out PSB's Imagine B. | |
| I will downsize my audio room.It will be 10'n ing I would think that room size will dictate listening distance to speakers which will be a factor in determining speaker size. Any idea how far the listening position will be away from where the speakers will be placed? | |
| 4 speakers/two channel Likewise I have had people tell me that "I shouldn't do that with 2ch music"... until they have come to my place and listened to my system, that is. For a start they wouldn't know all speakers are playing until I switch it back to the front speake... | |
| 4 speakers/two channel My Yamaha AVR basically does this with its '7ch stereo' mode.As far as I can tell it is putting the same signal to all the other speakers, but at the volume that you set. You can set the level of the surrounds and centre at anything from 0 to 100 ... | |
| Where does the money go in a Blu Ray player? Just don't get sucked into the "if it costs more, then it must be better" mentality. This is precisely why there is a high-end market to cater for such people.Marketers know that just putting a higher pricetag on something will alone make it more ... | |
| Where does the money go in a Blu Ray player? There must be a few review sites that give good in-depth comparisons of video performance between the likes of Sony, Oppo and more pricer ones. | |
| Frustrated with the sound of my system Which is 'the room'. | |
| Anyone Using Four Subs In A Home Theater? I run 4 subs because I have a small room. | |
| Which surround algorithm is better? I like my Yamaha AVR's '7ch stereo' mode for 2ch material and use it all the time. I don't want to limit myself to only a SACD music collection which is quite limited.I don't think of 2ch material as just two channels... but as material with centr... | |
| Frustrated with the sound of my system Room placement costs nothing and could be all that the problem is. Buying new gear may or may not solve the problem and would be $$$ down the drain if that is the case.I know I can make my system sound very detailed and bright but rather clinical ... | |
| Frustrated with the sound of my system Room setup can make a huge difference. You could have two different people set up the same gear in the same room and end up with two totally different sounding systems.I have found TrueRTA to be the easiest way to measure a room to see what is goi... | |
| Frustrated with the sound of my system Tell us a bit about your room and how you have gone about placing the speakers in it. Have you measured the speaker's response in the room in any way? | |
| Stereo Imaging Getting a strong center image should be child's play for two speakers - and is on my system.I want my soundstage to be much more than that though. Yes, a sharply defined centre vocal of a believable real size... but with its own space free of the ... |
