| What's the bottom line on Oppo 980 for CD playback Of course, remember that the Benchmark cannot do DD/dts nor is there any way to get SACD from the 980H or the HD codecs from the future BluRay player into it.Kal | |
| who makes a decent center channel speaker? Unclejeff: Interesting thread. I do think that with an A/V system like the Anthem D2 it is easy to get past the urge to stick with the same manufacturer.If you had to, ARC or Audyssey will compensate greatly but not entirely. Also, since there are... | |
| who makes a decent center channel speaker? Iplaynaked: "Unfortunately, the construction of the vast majority speakers is faulty BY INTENT as they cater to aesthetics and convenience rather than performance." Faulty by Intent? Um whatever "faulty" means.Simple. Have you ever asked why reput... | |
| Using 2 integrateds to bi-amp? What a lot of effort for what? Unpredictable outcome with clumsy operation. If you think of it as an experiment, mebbe.Kal | |
| who makes a decent center channel speaker? Elevick:If you are trying to match R&L's that either don't have a center or the center is too much $$$, contact speakercity.com Tell them what you have and they may be able to build you something voiced very closely, even using the same driver... | |
| who makes a decent center channel speaker? Markphd: "The centre speaker can be optimized for the reproduction of midrange, which is the frequencies where the voices are located.".................."And that's fine, but it fails to take advantage of the speaker specialization that the centre... | |
| Using 2 integrateds to bi-amp? Ghosthouse: I'm guessing since I have volume controls on both I can regulate spl from treble and bass. By trial and error at worst, I'd expect I could find optimal settings. Tricky and unreliable. More than likely you will get variations in LF/HF ... | |
| who makes a decent center channel speaker? Not only with the same brand but as similar to the L/R speakers as possible. I prefer and use three identical speakers across the front.I understand that this might not fit for many people but I advise against the ubiquitous MTM horizontal centers... | |
| Using 2 integrateds to bi-amp? Weird. How would you control volume in concert?Kal | |
| How to connect two amps with one source? Just having multiple outputs does not mean that they are independently driven. If not, and this is more common than otherwise, those outputs are simply Y-ed together.Kal | |
| Using CD player without Preamp? IMHO, it depends on the volume control in the Philips. If the VC is analog, a direct connection may be great. If the VC is digital (and, therefore, loses data when attenuated), the direct connection is a bad idea. I suspect the latter is the reality. | |
| How tall should speakers be? HF driver should be at about ear height for conventional dynamic speakers.Kal | |
| How to connect two amps with one source? Mrtennis i suggest a simple mod to the dac, which will create a second pair of analog out females.i have often thought that digital designers furnish dacs and/or cd players with 2 sets of analog out connectors.You mean an internal Y-connection. Wh... | |
| How to connect two amps with one source? Well, if the units are well-designed, a pair of Y-connectors will be fine. This means that the dac has a low output impedance and decent current output and that the two loads each have a relatively high, constant and similar input impedance. I do ... | |
| Best Processor around 1500.00 First off, the Emotiva ain't out yet, nor is the interesting new Outlaw.Second, if this is merely a stop-gap, try a used Integra 9.8. Should be able to pick one up for under $1k and sell it for about the same later. Since it does almost everything... |
