| Is it live or is it? Mapman wrote: Live concerts are like most things...there's the good, the bad, and the ugly.Yes, and that applies to all genres, including the ones that some of us don't like. ;-) | |
| Is it live or is it? I, too, listen to unamplified acoustic music but the mystery can be resolved. The horm-loaded systems are part of the music production/creation chain and their characteristics are included in the recording you buy. The home system should not have ... | |
| Revel F208 Review by Earl So nice, you had to say it twice. | |
| Room correction - what device works best? The version that comes with the XMC-1 is Dirac Live LE for Emotiva is a limited(!) version. The full(er) version is well worth the extra $100. | |
| Room correction - what device works best? Currently, DIRAC does not offer cross-overs or bass management, both of which must be implemented prior to DIRAC processing. | |
| Room correction - what device works best? As far as I can tell, I have used all of the devices so far mentioned (as well as some others) and, honestly, they all work. The variables are:1. Bass only or full range.2. Analog only, analog in/out DSP or digital in/out DSP3. Automatic implement... | |

| Great 2 channel or 4/5 channels? The version of Dirac on the XMC-1 is limited in a number of ways. The PC/Mac versions are more expensive but more capable.Again, the items I mentioned are preamps, not processors. | |
| lovan legacy stands Ouch! I just threw mine out and would have been happy to donate them to a new home. All I have left is the Lovan label. | |
| Great 2 channel or 4/5 channels? Aside from Mac, AudioResearch, BelCanto and C-J had good MCH analog preamps. I currently use the AR. | |
| DTS HD via Multi Analog vs DTS via Bistream Does your source material have back channel information? | |
