| Big 2 channel Amp OR Smaller 6 channel and TRIamp? Same old, same old. (A) without doubt.With scenario (B), your woofers would see only 100w.Kal | |
| Anthem AVM/20 upgrade to Integra or Marantz?? What is happening is that the complexity of multichannel and/or digital setup has made it nearly impossible for one to judge much from dealer demos. Not only are there so many more variables to complicate the decision but dealer competence can nei... | |
| Using my 2 channel system with a HT AV reciever. It won't sound funny but there may be a tonal difference between the L/R and the other channels. That is the price you pay for keeping your 2 channel preamp/amp. The only solution is to have the same electronics for every channel.Kal | |
| To audyssey or not to audyssey, that is the ...? My personal opinion on room correction is that you need to do what you can with the room first. Room correction isn't a substitute for proper speaker placement, proper sub placement, taming echoes in the room with carpeting, etc.I think everyone a... | |
| Accidentally bought a Quadrophonic LP. OK to play? No problem. Just play it. Judge for yourself.Kal | |
| Wireless to my audio system ? I understand that there are Apple products out there but I am familiar with the SqueezeBox Touch which does this very well.Kal | |
| Subwoofers location Right. There is no useful rule about placement with regard to main speakers as the best position(s) are determined with respect to room dimensions/boundaries and listening position. The whole idea is to minimize modal excitation.Kal | |
| sub connection No need unless you find that the AutoON function (if your sub has that) is less responsive than you require.Kal | |
| Center channel for esoteric mg-20's Good imaging speakers or not, the mixing of center channel signals with the L/R will corrupt the center image.Kal | |
| Rives Audio PARC The limitations of PARC are the restriction to 3 bands of EQ and the inability to boost non-modal troughs in the FR. It also lacks bass management/crossover functions which are necessary for many 2 channel analog systems.As for "PARC is analog. IM... | |
| Rives Audio PARC What is your goal? If it is general EQ and room matching, physical treatments are always preferred but, admittedly, they can be extremely large for bass modes. Assuming you have only 2 active speakers (no subs), you would be best served with room ... | |
| Anthem AVM/20 upgrade to Integra or Marantz?? Of course, at the dealer, you can never know how competent the ARC/Audyssey setup is. | |
| Anthem AVM/20 upgrade to Integra or Marantz?? Neat, Marty. The thing really works! BTW, the 5508 is equivalent to an 80.2; just what I use.Kal | |
| Tact 2.2XP for room correction "proof of concept" If you are going used, consider also units from Trinnov and DEQX. | |
| Tact 2.2XP for room correction "proof of concept" OK. I suspect that the Theta/Dirac will be superior but that's all to the good. Too bad there are no rental units for these things. |
