| Bi-Amping without dual pre-amp outs Sogood51 wrote: I'm pretty sure that most preamps with a second set of preouts are splitting internally for the second pairThey would have to, wouldn't they? Are you trying to say something about how the two sets of outputs are driven. Many (most?... | |
| choosing a center channel Too bad. Horizontal centers usually suck regardless of whether they are used for HT or music. Three identical speakers in the front are ideal.Kal | |

| Cost Efficiency of 7.1 analog Actually, the OP went through all these and seems to have a reasonable grasp of them. Things like where the better D/As are, avoiding redundant A/D/A, paying attention to the potential for bass management and room EQ, etc. All well discussed in ma... | |
| Cost Efficiency of 7.1 analog A properly functioning HDMI audio hookup may not sound as good as the analog connections.Anything's possible but this generalization is no more valid than its converse. There are, simply, too many variables for any such determination to be more th... | |
| Hooking up 2 amps to one set of speakers Don't do it. Even assuming that you never make the mistake of having both amps powered at the same time, there may still be a shunting of one by the other depending on the design. In some cases, it may work. In others, boom.Get a switch.Kal | |
| THETA CB3 XOVER Since such choices depend on the rest of your equipment and your setup, there is no best for all cases. That's why Theta offers options.Kal | |
| SACD playback the DAC Do you really mean 2 channel or do you mean analog inputs?Kal | |
| Bi Amp B&W 803s with 9BSST and 4BST My pleasure. Bye.Kal | |
| SACD playback the DAC Those are the ones. Check the relevant Marantz thread on AVSforum. Of course, one can use the Marantz with a player that does the decoding so that it gets only PCM. Still, there are limits on the sample rate for using Audyssey, even with PCM.Kal | |
| SACD playback the DAC 2nd try:1. Cannot decode HD codecs and use Audyssey.2. Has a less potent version of Audyssey than its competitors.Kal | |
| SACD playback the DAC Yup. "despite good subjective reviews from others, I find the feature set limiting."Kal | |
| SACD playback the DAC What new Marantz? I only know of one Marantz MCH prepro and, despite good subjective reviews from others, I find the feature set limiting.Kal | |
| SACD playback the DAC I have not done it formally but only in the course of reviewing various components. Generally, the issue of jitter is difficult to allocate when there are so many other variables. Nonetheless, there are players that have excellent DACs and analog ... | |
| SACD playback the DAC I am unfamiliar with the Integra player. Perhaps. One hopes that there will be more of these as time goes on.Kal |
