| I'm FINALLY finished: new 2-channel system I'm a firm believer you can accomplish both within the same system. If my system was limited to sitting in a sweet spot and listening to 2 channel only-there is no way I could justify the expense of the gear I have. I know there are the purists th... | |
| What is the difference btwn dolby digital and dts? I'm not sure technically what the difference is....but DTS sounds alot better in my humble opinion. Its always a bonus when a movie or even better a concert DVD has a DTS version. | |
| what diff from rotel 1066 to 168? surr proc I have the 1066. Its an excellent pre/pro. If your on a limited budget-forget the floor model I've seen them frequently here for 700-800 bucks. I also think its the perfect fit with your existing gear. | |
| What do you think is the best amp to go with My theory reflects my fine restaraunt theory. In a really good restaraunt(although I don't eat much beef)I'll always order the steak. I know what I'm getting/and its hard to screw it up. Back to your question-Pass Labs X-250. You can get it used f... | |
| How does my set-up sound? The way you describe your economic situation(lower middle)and your needs(parties and background music for other household activities) I wouldn't change a thing. Your already a step above Best Buy. You say you don't have a big room. It sounds like ... | |
| 2-channel HT - which way would you go??? Rotel- and while your at it pick up a used 1066 pre/pro for about 800.00. The 1066 is one of the best audio bargains out there in my humble opinion. | |
| why doesnt "cd direct" sound better ?? I think it depends on the recording. I have the same feature on both of my recievers(Kenwood ,Marantz) When running an average recording through it without the CD direct-it sounds enhanced-but very listenable(for a reciever) When ran through CD di... | |
| Has MartinLogan gone too far with powered woofers? Let your Summits break in-I have a hunch you'll be keeping them. | |
| Cleveland, OH I second the "two thumbs down" on Bernie at Play It Again Sams. He practically wants retail for used gear. Back in the day before the internet PIAS was the only way locally to sell used gear. Thank God for AudioGon. Brownsanandy- If your looking f... | |
| What equipment would your carry? Martin Logan/B&W/PSB(great budget speakers) Electronics- Krell/Bryston/Rotel Wire-Acoustic Zen/Kimber/Audioquest | |
| Martin Logan Ascenti & Descent sub. I have the Ascents and they sound great. I am using the Depth(the smaller M/L sub)and it integrates very well with the Ascents. The Descent is an incredible sub and if your room isn't the size of the Sistine Chapel-I think you'll be fine. In fact ... | |
| Best Speaker New or Used under $1.5K PSB Stratus Gold i's- stop your search. You can get these used in immaculate shape for around 1K. That leaves you 500.00 left for your center. | |
| Preamp recommendations for Pass Labs Aleph 30 amp If you can spend a little more I would get the Pass Aleph P. Its very neutral and great looking to boot. | |
| favorite pass amp? No I haven't,but I'd like too. Have you? | |
| favorite pass amp? Ante up another 600-800 and get the X-250. In the mid 2K range there is nothing better-period. |
