| "Bi-amping" an integrated without another amp? It cannot be done because there is only one pair of amps in this box and the A/B terminals connect to them. Kal | |
| 805 S + Sony STR-DA 6400es... what next? You should use the 805s'with the Sony for the time being. It may be entirely adequate if the power ratings are honest. As for quality, you are the best judge.Kal | |
| Anthem AVM 20 or Integra DTC 9.8 You need to be more specific about your uses. The AVM20 is an old(er) unit with good sound but it lacks the newest facilities, such as roomEQ and new codecs. The Integra has all that and its performance with digital sources is very good but its an... | |
| ESS Technology sabre32 Initial impressions are very positive with 16/44.1 and 24/96 materials. Will do some more careful auditions next week.Kal | |
| Two Revel m20s as center: good idea? The problem is less of an issue with stereo since there are distance-related phase shifts from a real central voice/instrument when recorded in stereo. If mono-miked and split, then the problem occurs and is one of the causes of issues with vastly... | |
| Two Revel m20s as center: good idea? Two are almost always WORSE than one. The interaction of the radiation from two sources of the same signals results in an irregular dispersion pattern. That said, some have made a case for one above and one below but, ideally, only one is needed.Kal | |
| Latest Pre Pro with all the new codecs Kennyt, you are correct but I was responding in the spirit of this thread which specifically about the "Latest Pre Pro with all the new codecs." Of course, this is an issue that will go away, in time, as the cost of including decoding in both play... | |
| Latest Pre Pro with all the new codecs The ML 502 lacks the latest CODECs.Kal | |
| active X-over To me the signal has to go thru the prepros bass management(or not)or the subs bass maagement.I could be wrong,but if the signal goes thru the 10B,I'm hoping for more quality.To me it's like replacing a average component and upgrading to something... | |
| active X-over Yes but you haven't said why you are not simply using the bass management in your prepro. Also, can we assume you are using the EQ in the Velodyne?Kal | |
| active X-over ??? Is your crossover for the sub/main separation? If so, then the Revel crossovers must remain intact and will not interact with it.Setting your main speakers to large is, of course, necessary.Of course, all this suggests that you are NOT using t... | |
| What processor? All Audyssey implementations are also limited by the amount of DSP the OEM is willing to put in the device. Some high(er)-end products have lesser and limited versions because the OEM was not willing to pay for the hardware.Also, since it is unlik... | |
| Center Channel Speaker Oh. OK. | |
| How can you not have multichannel system Ah, but Marques knows that one, often, cannot readily distinguish myth from reality. ;-)Kal | |
| How can you not have multichannel system That's only what I have kept. You can look at www.sa-cd.net to find more than 5000 SACDs (most of which are MCH). In addition, there are many DVDs and, now, hi-rez audio on BluRay and, coming on line, downloads. Kal |
