| 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 | |

| 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 | |
| Bass traps Instead of hit-and-miss, there are logical approaches to this which will maximimize the chance of success. Just throwing in panels and traps is not the way. Take a look at www.realtraps.com or www.rivesaudio.com for useful information. You do not ... | |
| Improving sound in the room Not egg trays but compressed fiberglass. Good for absorbtion and the thicker the better for bass (and placed in corners). See www.realtraps.com or www.rivesaudio.com for ideas.Kal | |
| Mainstream reviews-why so few? Ha! Two very different Jonathans!Kal | |
| Mainstream reviews-why so few? " They assigned it to Jonathon Valin. He jumped ship and went to Stereophile taking the Timbre with him." Really? I doubt it.Kal | |
