| Transport or player? The XA5400ES does not have 5.1 analog outputs. It has stereo analog (RCA + XLR), coax digital and HDMI.Kal | |
| Audacy room correction. Corrected? Move the chair? Something that must be apparent to you now is that Audyssey is not a panacea. It has less to do with a good setup in an acoustically decent room but it also accomplishes more with a good setup in an acoustically decent room. Your m... | |
| By-pass or Remove X-over in Revel Studios 1st Gen If you have to ask about room treatments, you need them.Kal | |
| processor that could serve as a good preamp Other suggestions, which have no video, but excellent audio, analog and digital are the Cary Cinema 11 (not 11a) and the Bryston 1.7 preamp-processors. I have not reviewed the Krell but I can personally vouch for these two.Kal | |
| room acoustics: bonded logic, homasote, or... The problem with "batts" is that they are not self-supporting and need to be framed. This makes them even more cumbersome and obtrusive than prefabricated rigid/semi-rigid fiberglass panels. Remember, these treatments need to be in the room (acous... | |
| Audacy room correction. Corrected? Yeah. Here's the irony. Despite all this, most users just play "point-and-shoot" and accept the initial results because it is better than what they had before. In other words, it depends on how critical you are of the sound and, if you are picky (... | |
| room acoustics: bonded logic, homasote, or... I did a quick check of the "bonded logic" site and did not see any acoustical specs. But if you are dead set against the compressed fiberglas panels (which are the best performers for the money), I suggest you consult Sensible Sound Solutions abou... | |
| Audacy room correction. Corrected? Srwooten-Those are only the highlights of the recommendations in the guide. It was based on the comments and experiences of many users and vetted by the CTO of Audyssey. It is worth a read for anyone using Audyssey.Kal | |
| Audacy room correction. Corrected? I appreciate the reply, Jim. Let me know if there's anything else I can help with.Kal | |
| Audacy room correction. Corrected? First, I apologize for assuming otherwise as I did not take your handle literally. I will try to write more carefully.A preamp/processor is, virtually, an A/V receiver without amps and, therefore, a device which works only with external amps. This... | |
| Trying to sharpen the vocals...EQ related question This is a very unusual system but, it seems to me, the likely culprit is the Bose system. You may appreciate some things about it but, clearly, the lack of midrange presentation says otherwise. I have yet to hear an AcoustiMass system that has a d... | |
| Audacy room correction. Corrected? I am surprised. Now, do not take this personally but, imho, most people who feel this way have either done the Audyssey setup poorly (I messed up my first time and from time to time even though I have done it many times) or are simply adapted to t... | |
| Audacy room correction. Corrected? 1. It is Audyssey, not Audacy.2. It works in the preamp/processor portion of the AVR and does not care whether you use the built-in amps, external amps or some combination of the two.3. Just make sure that you do the measurements and setup with th... | |
| By-pass or Remove X-over in Revel Studios 1st Gen This is a mistake unless you have the tools to simulate the transfer function of the original crossover. Remember that the crossover is tailored to these speakers and accomplishes much more than a textbook division of frequencies at a fixed slope.... | |
| Audio only processor - without video? I did not say you cannot get the HD codecs; I said you cannot get the best of them which means effective bass/level/delay management and DSP (including room EQ). With analog, you can only approximate since these are not as well implemented in play... |
