| Impedance???? "I want to make sure I am at 8 ohm coming to the speaker." You can't because no normal amp is. Typically, the amp has a much lower output impedance than the rated load. Usually by a couple of orders of magnitude.Now, if you meant to determine the ... | |
| SME III help needed The S version lacks the damping trough as a standard feature; it is an option. The S version has simpler counterweight adjustments without the screw trim.Kal | |
| Anybody still using soft rubber isolation devices? Why not? They do different things and, depending on the situation, one or the other might be preferred.Kal | |
| Could this be a Major Breakthough ? Many others are doing it. See, for example, Meridian Room Correction, Audyssey, TacT, Lexicon, RoomEQ Wizard, etc.Kal | |
| Best Multi channel universal player? The BelCanto PL-1A is comparable.Kal | |
| Brand of wiring for dedicated circuits? JPS are stranded. My electrician raised an eyebrow when I handed him a spool of this 'boutique cable' (his words) but he found it extraordinarily easy to route and install. In fact, he expressed an interest until I told him the price.Kal | |
| Combining 2 Channel and HT There have been several threads here on audiogon on this very topic and most of the arguments/suggestions already expounded.Kal | |
| Bryston SP2 vs Meridian 861 I prefer the sound of the 861 to the SP2 with digital input but I rarely listened to either in stereo. I suspect it's the same as with MCH. However, the 861 has MRC and the SP2 doesn't so that may make some difference.Kal | |
| Bryston SP2 vs Meridian 861 So, you don't need an analog input, right? So? Kal | |
| Bryston SP2 vs Meridian 861 Do you have analog sources that you must use? Such might be an SACD player, a turntable, an FM tuner? If not, then I'd go with the Meridian. Kal | |
| Bryston SP2 vs Meridian 861 Depends. In analog, the fully analog circuitry of the SP-2 is the hands-down winner as it is clean and avoids the A/D-D/A of the Meridian. If the source is digital, then the palm is awarded to the Meridian which is still, imho, the most outstandin... | |
| reluctant about home theater $8K will mean a compromise if it must include a decent large screen video display. Kal | |

| reluctant about home theater Plato wrote: "What could be different, hmmm, let me think, maybe it's the extra digital processing required for surround sound...." But there is no additional digital processing required. For DVD-A, there may be the added pass through MLP but that... | |
| reluctant about home theater It is possible. Set up the stereo system as you would and only add the necessary speakers for HT. I prefer to use an analog multichannel preamp which accommodates HT but is not a compromise for stereo.Kal |
