| Classe Audio CAM 350 mate with Revel Salon Ultima They worked nicely with the Studios.Kal | |
| Can back surrounds smear the front image? Of course. You are letting your processor "mess with" the signals to synthesize rear speaker output. As Rwwear has suggested, just play stereo as stereo (and 5.1 as 5.1).Kal | |
| Multi Channel Pre Amp 5.1 or 7.1?For 5.1, there's the Mac C45 and the AudioResearch MP1 as current models.For 7.1, there's the Parasound P7 currently.There are more in both categories if you are willing to consider used equipment.Kal | |
| Can back surrounds smear the front image? Your assessment of the repertoire is correct as stated and, in fact, I agree with the general analysis in your previous post. However, I was discussing the high prevalence of classical recordings with true rear ambiance compared among the total nu... | |
| Can back surrounds smear the front image? Mlsstl wrote:As the original poster noted, there is very little musical material out there that is specifically recorded to capture a true rear image or hall sound.Not so. It really depends on your choice of repertoire. Among the majority of class... | |
| Can back surrounds smear the front image? It may be dependent on the program content or the setup but the addition of surround channels (with specifically encoded material) should enhance the front image. That said, it is likely also to widen the front soundstage and some may mistake that... | |
| B&W's objective opinions lean or accurate What is an objective opinion? How does it differ from a subjective fact? | |
| Comparable products to the Velodyne SMS-1 I apologize. I meant that the other three I listed did not permit manual adjustments. The SMS-1 not only permits manual adjustments but one should ignore its automatic operation as it is severely crippled by comparison.Kal | |
| Comparable products to the Velodyne SMS-1 Well, none of these will allow manual adjustments. They only correct. ;-)Kal | |
| Comparable products to the Velodyne SMS-1 Nope. There are other systems but each is somewhat different. Take a look at:Anti-Mode 8033SVS Subwoofer Equalizer AS-EQ1Audyssey Sub Equalizer | |
| Any top SACD player with PCM output on the market? I am not surprised. Given that one is starting with a good high resolution signal and down-converting it with dCS algorithms, it is entirely possible that it is better than the, perhaps, compromised RedBook version.Of course, 24/88.2 is even bette... | |
| Would center channel benefit audio only room? Dedicated? How will you derive a signal for it? Why do you think it will do anything for soundstage height, as opposed to central imaging?The solution lies not in more equipment but attention to your setup, acoustics and, perhaps, speaker choice.Kal | |
| Bi-amping Revel Gems with a tube integrated amp A passive preamp has only one output even though it may have multiple output jacks.Kal | |
| Would center channel benefit audio only room? I was kidding. Of course, you could go all the way and get a processor with Audyssey DSX to derive height channels and, even, a center.Kal | |
| Any top SACD player with PCM output on the market? Yes, the Scarlatti transport can output PCM from SACD but: 2x AES/EBU on 3-pin male XLR connectors. Each outputs CD format data (16 bits at 44.1kS/s), whether a CD or SACD is playing.2x SPDIF on 1x RCA Phono and 1x BNC connectors. Each outputs CD ... |
