| DTS HD Master & Dolby True HD set up I am afraid that I am the bearer of bad news. You have chosen poorly. The 2500 is a transport and will not decode DTS HD Master or Dolby true HD. In addition, your AVR4306 lacks these codecs as well. Thus, no matter what combination of settings yo... | |
| Wireless for surround? Well, the AudioEngine powered minis do interface easily with the AW-1. as would be expected.Kal | |
| crossover newb with passive subwoofer questions Frankly, if you use the Onkyo, you will still be faced with the problem that you lack proper crossovers. Y-connectors are a non-issue; use 'em if you need 'em.Kal | |
| crossover newb with passive subwoofer questions Rabco-Have you looked at these products at all? Many provide for an RCA input, a high-passed RCA output for the main channel speaker amp and, of course, internal routing to the subwoofer of the low-passed signals. No Y-connector is needed.Kal | |
| Surround Sound Preamp Integra DHC-9.9 vs. Anthem Thus you are using the HT bypass on the Proceed. Simply use the L/R/Sub outputs of the 9.8 (bal or unbal) to them.Kal | |
| Wireless for surround? I tried that with the AudioEngine AW-1:[url]http://www.stereophile.com/amplificationreviews/908mitr/index1.html[/url]Kal | |
| Good upsampling DAC w. HDMI I, too, do not know of any HDMI DAC at the moment. However, it would not have to be a multichannel DAC as HDMI can handle stereo and the sending device will autosense that.Kal | |
| Preamp or int amp best way to imprv HT 2 chl SQ? Replace the Sunfire with a used Anthem D2 with ARC.Kal | |
| Surround Sound Preamp Integra DHC-9.9 vs. Anthem I would not use any input on the 9.8 for analog bypass unless I had to. I do use an analog preamp for analog bypass.Kal | |
| crossover newb with passive subwoofer questions First, you need a real crossover for both the main speakers and the sub. Second, you need a level control for the sub. Third, you need something to power the sub.It appears that you are very "price sensitive" so I must tell you that I know of no m... | |
| Surround Sound Preamp Integra DHC-9.9 vs. Anthem Are you committed to any analog sources? If not, the Integra/Onkyo prepros should be fine for you. If yes, you can supplement the prepro with a good, simple analog preamp with an HT bypass function.Of course, the D2 with ARC is great.Kal | |
| Hi-Res sources over HDMI or multi channel analog I am testing the Sony now but I did publish comments about the Oppos and Pioneer SACD/HDMI players and I do believe that this is the preferred route. I had, prior to HDMI, preferred the analog connection via an analog preamp but no longer. In addi... | |
| crossover newb with passive subwoofer questions Then you are not using any crossover, at all, on the Legacy monitors and I don't know what those "subs" have as crossovers for themselves. I suspect none. Do you know? Get a decent powered sub with a built-in amp and crossover.Kal | |
| crossover newb with passive subwoofer questions None that I know of. Either you work at speaker level (where one set of amps drives all) or at preamp level (where a separate amp is needed for each output of the crossover).Ka | |
| Anthem AVM 20 or Integra DTC 9.8 9.9 adds DynamicVolume, DynamicEQ and individual ISF settings per input.Also, the analog is OK but not stellar on the 9.8 and, I suspect, is the same on the 9.9. I plead guilty to contributing to this general impression: http://stereophile.com/mus... |
