| 2 interconnects or y-cable? Either way. BTW, despite labels, there's no such thing as a "dedicated subwoofer cable."Kal | |
| Using two center channel LCR speakers for stereo To generalize, vertical MTMs will be OK. Kal | |
| Center channels: why only horizontal arrays? Esthetics and assumed ignorance of acoustics (on the part of the typical user) are the only reasons. A conventional vertical array is superior and preferred by many who use three identical speakers for the front L/C/R.Kal | |
| Anybody tried Naim integrated with ATC speakers? The NAD M3 seems like a nice idea.Kal | |
| Pre/Pro with Yes but I was suggesting that you use it full range for stereo and leave the passive Verity crossover intact. That way, you also do not need another amp. Kal | |
| Pre/Pro with "I was advised by the local Audyssey dealer (who sold me the AVR for my HT room) that the Audyssey included x-over capability. Their website isn't clear, but I had a suspicion that it would be clear if the unit actually included x-over."The SEQ wi... | |
| Pre/Pro with #1: If the SMS EQs and passes up to 150Hz, this might work. I cannot recall if it does.#2: I would not invest in an old non-HDMI avr or processor today.#3: The Audyssey Balanced Processor will not do any bass management or crossovers. It will reco... | |
| Anybody tried Naim integrated with ATC speakers? At 85dB/watt/meter, they are fairly insensitive and the 60wpc may not be an apt match, especially for large orchestral works unless your room is small and/or you listen at lower levels. Just a guess but these are two names that I would not usually... | |
| Pre/Pro with Why are the Parsifals supposed to cross over so high? They are pretty full range speakers, afaik. Are you confusing the crossover to the bass modules with the crossover to a real sub? In general, the crossover to the sub for most processors is muc... | |
| old revels vs new revels I definitely preferred the new ones in all ways except, as I wrote, for their more "ordinary" appearance. I have not heard the F52 for any useful time.Kal | |
| Bryston SP-2 & HDMI Well, depending on the trade-in deal, you might consider alternative prepros that cost less.Kal | |
| old revels vs new revels I reviewed both in the same room. Here are the links:http://stereophile.com/floorloudspeakers/302/http://stereophile.com/floorloudspeakers/308revel/FWIW.Kal | |
| Bryston SP-2 & HDMI The reason why is that this was designed before HDMI became the standard for HD audio codecs. Their new SP-3 will have HDMI.Is it a big deal? Yes, if you expect to get the best audio from BluRay discs and, now also, SACD.Kal | |
| Center channel for Maggies 20.1 The best center I ever heard for a 20.1 setup was a pair of 20.1s arranged in a VEE with their treble edges together and aimed at the listener. I would guess that a similar arrangement with a pair of other, smaller Maggies would be a better match ... | |
| Listening to DTS-HD & TrueHD with only 2 Speakers? Hard to say. There will definitely be an improvement in detail and transparency but how significant it will be to you, I cannot predict.Kal |
