| Home Theater Upgrade Help - NHT/Lexicon "I would like a processor that has automatic room equalization using microphones." The only one of your options that will satisfy this criterion is 3.Kal | |
| Useful tweaks for Oppo 980/DTC 9.8 for MC-SACD Are you running the 980H via HDMI? If so, I doubt there are any useful tweaks. If not, you should.Kal | |
| who makes a decent center channel speaker? Well, I have yet to see/hear a Maggie center, other than those paired 20.1s, that is entirely successful.Kal | |
| Built in DSP = digital equalizer? A digital signal processor is just that. I takes in data processes/transforms it according to a program (usually firmware) and outputs the result. If the program is to work as an equalizer, it is an equalizer. If the program is to decode DolbyTrue... | |
| who makes a decent center channel speaker? But off-center, if I read you correctly. | |
| Bryston SP2 IMHO, not any more. New models with HDMI on the horizon.Kal | |
| who makes a decent center channel speaker? What comment is needed? I would see if the phantom arrangement is satisfactory for you. Planar centers have not bee very successful. The best Maggie center I have hear, for example, was a pair of 20.1s angled together with the tweeters together an... | |
| who makes a decent center channel speaker? Yes, they come from decent houses but, unless I went through and looked up each and every one, I cannot say anything about them, one way or the other. I suspect there are one or two that would not appeal to me. (Are any of them MTM?)Kal | |
| anyone compare HD DD w/ DVD to 1.3a receiver in? That is what I am saying but within reasonable price/performance windows. First, I am speaking of multichannel primarily but the observations apply to 2 channels as well. Second, the Oppo/Integra combo was better via HDMI than analog and so was th... | |
| anyone compare HD DD w/ DVD to 1.3a receiver in? Yup. Agreed. Pretty consistent. Exceptions when the equipment is ill-matched.Kal | |
| who makes a decent center channel speaker? I am not endorsing (or not not endorsing) Iplaynaked's list because I so not have experience with many of them but would endorse the recommendation that the center match the L/R and, if possible, not be of the horizontal MTM, WMTMW, or WTM configu... | |
| Surround Processor with Integrated Amp Assuming you are only passing the front 2 channels from a surround processor through the integrated amp, you need to use the volume control in the processor. The VC in the amp should be kept at a fixed setting.Kal | |
| who makes a decent center channel speaker? To much to read in Iplaynaked's post but he takes my comment beyond its intentions and implications. Adding Audyssey/ARC will correct FR anomalies between the speakers, whether those are due to the speakers themselves or to the room. Otherwise, wh... | |
| "small profile" Center Channel Other recommendations notwithstanding, you need to get a center channel that is timbre-matched to the L/R speakers that you now have. That usually means from the same manufacturer and from the same line. Anything else will create changes as sounds... | |
| Meridian Blu Ray? No BD support? By that, I assume you mean no HDMI support but, of course, that many change at CES.Kal |
