| Good used surround processors?? Kitchener - you can definitely utilize amps that you already have. As the dealer told you, the pre/pro will allow you to calibrate the sound level by channel (you'll need an SPL meter), so power differences can be compensated for.Dolby Digital and... | |
| Is 15W enough to drive Dyn 3.3? Definitely not - I'd take the advice to contact Dynaudio to investigate with them. I've seen them quoted as saying that the Contour 1.8's are tube-friendly, though I don't know that 15 watts SET are enough there either. Dynaudios definitely like t... | |
| Good used surround processors?? I'd stay very basic on the features you look for - good Dolby Digital decoding, DTS support if it matters to you, Dolby Pro Logic. I wouldn't worry about anything more than 5.1 channels as, once you do, you start creeping back into features that d... | |
| Hate to ask...... Tally me as one who loves HT (as well as music). Movies and music are both first rate art forms IMO. I've only got one room to use on this stuff, so I've accepted a single-system solution and have either deluded myself or have actually managed to ... | |
| NetFlix long Waiting time I've had the same experiences with scratched discs, though there have only been a couple that didn't play perfectly. One lost disc (ultimately showed up), one broken disc. I don't have any of the problems people are describing with long waits for ... | |
| small office speakers Hard to find, but a pair of Linn Kan II speakers is very nice for the office - very small, made to be very close to a wall, extremely musical. They have to be found used and are likely to be $350-500, but if you can find some, they fit the bill pe... | |
| Will Internet Distroy High End ? Aw shoot - Sam had me going there for a minute that we were FINALLY going to answer the subjectivist vs. objectivist debate thanks to the Internet, despite the fact that the internet has been around a fairly long time and doesn't appear to have pu... | |
| Which 5 ch Amp for Home Theater? I used to have NHT speakers in my HT system - 2.9's up front with the AC-1. I always found them revealing as opposed to necessarily bright. Unforgiving. Anyway, I drove them with the Krell KAV-500. Absolutely excellent performance for movies, pret... | |
| Which came first, the chicken or the egg They seem pretty proud of it - it's supposed to list for $9K in the single-ended version, $10K for the balanced version. They have the usual very good trade in program scheduled for the fall and say that a properly equipped MC-1 will be worth $4K ... | |
| Which came first, the chicken or the egg Bmpnyc- All the press releases and documentation cite an analogue pass-through (direct) function, so the answer is definitely yes for 2-channel analog direct. There is a Q&A with a Lexicon technical type who says there will be analog direct fo... | |
| My latest find. What's yours? Mine is the group Galactic, specifically their release titled Crazyhorse Mongoose. They're sort of a jazz/funk sound. Recording quality is excellent and the music is just flat out fantastic. | |
| Which came first, the chicken or the egg Blob7 - Intermingled here, you've gotten some good advice on your original question. For many of the reasons given above and a few more, I have a dual-purpose system in a 14x18x8 room and am very satisfied with it's performance on both HT and 2ch.... | |
| Stereophile's refusal to review more low I guess you could interpret the comment that Stereophile wanted to see ad revenue before a product-for-review submittal as meaning that that product would then get a good review as well, but that's not how I interpreted it. Stereophile has leverag... | |
| Should 2nd. Buyer Receive Guarantee ? Speaking of which, according to one Krell dealer who advertises often, Krell has discontinued their policy of honoring transferred warranties. I still see many people advertise their Krell gear as "warranty transferable" which I don't believe is t... | |
