| Best used 5 channels amp. for both music and movies EAD Powermasters make fine 2 channel or 5 channel amps. The Powermaster 2000 if you need 400watts x 5 channels and balanced inputs, the Powermaster 1000, if you can live with 200watts x 5 channels (really amounts to alot more into 2 channels) and ... | |
| Need recomendations on Pre-Amp / processor The EAD Theatermaster also has advanced bass management, and as was said before outstanding 2-channel sound (and great multi-channel sound as well). It also has all the analog bass throughs you could ever need. | |
| EAD new Singature-8 Has anyone upgraded? Rcarlsen- How would you characterize the sound? How is it different than the old Ovation? How is the Digital to analog conversion? I rarely use it for HT, and probably wouldn't use the 8 channel analog pass through. I'm kind of hesitant to upgrade... | |
| the who Is the MCA GOld CD of Who's Next any good? I've heard that these are also fairly rare. How does is compare to the MFSL version? | |
| AMPS: PM2000 or Pass X5 or ? How old is your PM1000? The older units, I understand had this problem, and EAD has a modification to correct it. (I belive it was partially to do with input sensitivity and gain) All of the "later" PM1000's have it. I would call EAD and ask them ... | |
| Hubbell hospital grade outlets w/ surge protection Yes. I am well aware that surge protection and power conditioning are not the same thing. Most power conditioners have surge protection built in. I was wondering since it is thought that power conditioners limit power and do other potentially nega... | |
| Best Male Singers of the 20th Century On the rock side of things, I would say David Sylvian, David Bowie, and Bryan Ferry (all of whom were missed by those above).On Jazz and standards, the above posts got all the greats. | |

| EAD Theatermaster Encore Opinions Look at it this way. You can upgradethe Encore to the latest Ovation-8 Theatermaster for $1650. Add a $200 for display and latest remote for roughly $1850. Yuortotal cost would be just over $3000 for what is bascially a brand new Theatermaster Ova... | |
| EAD Powermaster 2000 - good as they say? What do you mean by when you say sound like the Mark Levinsons, "so not so bad for the price if you like that kind of sound, which you shouldn't-" My understanding is alot of people like the Leveinson's at any price. What don't you like about the ... |
