| 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 | |
| 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 |
