| Interconect recommendation I run AudioTruth Opal and think it is a great interconnect for the money. I would suggest you try them. If they don't work out, you can always sell them back for your money. They still sell really well....Good luck...LR | |
| Best speakers for around 1000 Jwilt, Some good suggestions above, but I want to add used Hales Rev2 which you can find for a good price. These aren't too big, real wood and sound great. Discontinued unfortunately. Good luck......LR | |
| MC-1 or Ref 30 Mborner, I have the B&K with Bryston Amps and Hales Design Speakers (similar set up to yours) and it sounds awesome. I haven't had the MC-1 in my system, but did look at it before settling on the B&K. My ultimate decision came to: B&K ... | |
| Bryston 4B-ST vrs Adcom 565 monos Let me start by saying I really like Adcom and the products they make; especially considering the price. I currently run to adcom amps in my home. I have heard the 565s, but never in my setup. I have run 2 555 mono before; very powerful. I current... | |
| Help with Hales Rev3 The speaker plays, but is heating up the channel it is on. This occurs till the amp (Bryston 4BST) shuts off. After it happened once, I carefully monitored the amp. That channel showing the clipping light; I thought the amp was bad. I took it off ... | |
| Building a Brand New HT... Need advice I own a B&K Pre/Pro and it doesn't disappoint. I have demo many different units and for the $$$, B&K has worked some magic (IMHO). To me the Ref 30 is a no brainer. The amps are also well made. I have listened and liked the them as well. I... | |
| Upgrade advise: ATI, Bryston, Aragon, Leehuff, I understand your position completely. I was there a few months ago. I had a AVR 3300 and went to a Adcom 555. I have now gone to a Bryston 4B-ST. I considered ATI as well as many others. I went to the Bryston because of performance, pric... | |
| AV receivers to stay away from?? Pisani, all 4 brands you mention have good units that can be had used in your price range. I favor the Denon myself. I owned a Denon 3300 for about a year(went to separates). It was a great unit. I saw one today for $400 at AudioReview.com market ... | |
| Pre/Pro for $2K Herb14, I run an B&K and it doesn't disappoint. It was a HUGE step over my Denon 3300. I use my system 50/50 music/movie and would buy B&K Pre/Pro again. Music sounds awesome. I have heard Krell, Lexicon, Proceed, Acurus, Meridian, Rotel a... | |
| Sub for monster BASS!!!!!! Shab, Check out Velodyne HGS-18(or HGS-15). I have the HGS-15. It is incredible. It took alot of adjusting(downward), but also sound great on music. It has the ability to hit really hard on dance music is that is what you want. A friend of mine ha... | |
| Newbie to HT - Optical vs Digital Coax Agree with everyone. Won't make much difference, but coax is better. If it won't cost much get a coax out machine and spend $45 on a Canare Digiflex II cable(this site). If you're already set up then I probably wouldn't worry. Oh, by the way I hav... | |
| B&K Reference 10/20 Upgrades Shaqspack, I emailed B&K for a instruction manuel on a Remote for my unit. After 2 emails and no response, I called B&K. I told them I needed the manuel and admitted I bought the piece used. Didn't matter to them. I had the manuel emailed ... | |
| HELP: Yamaha RX-V596 or Denon AVR-1801?? Kim307, Both are good recievers. Before I went to separates, I owned the Denon 3300 and it was a great receiver. I sold it to a friend who loves it also. I bought the Denon over Yamaha simply because I like the sound and looks. Maybe the next guy ... | |
| Wrong direction? Wrong direction?? Enuff said that reviewers are affected by many things. Basically these groups of experienced reviewers can give a starting point to audition new equipment. More importantly these reviews and rating entertain us. Sure we complain ... | |
| CAL Audio or other CD/DVD players Scott99, I would audition the new Sony S9000ES. It is a progressive scan DVD and plays SACD(as well at all CD formats). Looks pretty cool too. The retail is $1500, but generally you can find Sony for a discount price. I haven't auditioned unit yet... |
