| New Linn Majik-i or Naim Nait 5i with Linn Ninkas I am also interested to hear from anyone who has A/B tested these amps with similar speaker loads.To my ear, Linn's in general have a more neutral "just the facts Mame" presentation with perhaps a little added PRAT. Naim on the other hand, at leas... | |

| small audio/video system for elderly space For what it is worth, the latest issue of TAS just gave the VISO TWO one of their "Product of the Year" awards.I have not had that much trouble integrating a sub with satellite speakers. I use a cheap Radio Shack digital sound meter, a couple of t... | |
| small audio/video system for elderly space Dwhitt,Hope I am not harassing you (HA!). I was looking at the latest issue of TAS and noted an ad for an Oppo Bluray player. It looks way more polished than their other models - brushed black aluminum face plate. My question would be, how well do... | |
| small audio/video system for elderly space Dwhitt,"Maven + Arro = :-)" means this would be a very good sounding combo (look at the last three symbols sideways, smiley face).Yes, the Maven is a traditional receiver (AM/FM plus integrated amp) with a built in DAC for your iPod, computer, etc... | |

| small audio/video system for elderly space Dwhitt,You can save your money on a power cord for the NAD C-717 because it has a dedicated lamp cord hardwired through the chassis. If this system really intrigues you, you also ought to look at desktop units by Onkyo and Denon, and maybe JVC. I ... | |
| small audio/video system for elderly space Dwhitt,I was steering you towards one box solutions. If you are interested in two box systems based on an Oppo disk player, that is a whole other deal.If you are interested in a receiver/Oppo DV-983H system with AM/FM and subwoofer out - look at t... | |
| small audio/video system for elderly space I just helped my father set up a small system in his new apartment and am familiar with some of the better product choices in this category. You can put together a system that sounds good to very good including a subwoofer for between $1200 and ar... | |
| ANything beat onkyo for ht receiver $500? Yes Iplaynaked, I really do know nothing... but if you insist on fulfilling your moniker in the live test you suggest, I think I'll pass (particularly if you are the gender and age of most of the people who post on here!!!)...LOL :-)Denon and HK a... | |

| ANything beat onkyo for ht receiver $500? 705/706 and 805/806 are rated for continuous 4 ohm load - may have power reserves that allow them to easily handle more difficult loads than lower models rated only for 6 ohm loads.Going from 70X to 80X gives 30 more watts per channel of power (10... | |
| ANything beat onkyo for ht receiver $500? HK's have great sound for the money, but their reliability has been lower than the Japanese brands. Onkyos are pretty good for the money - you can get a new Onkyo TX-SR706 for under $500 on Amazon. I assure you this machine will sound good.If you ... | |
