| How good are recievers these days? Wow...lots of vitriol on this thread. Let's remember these are mostly opinions, and thus subject to personal taste. I have the Pioneer Elite SC-57, that I had modified by Stereo Dave's. I run Mirage OMD-28s (bi-amped & tri-wired) fronts and th... | |
| What is the best HEAVY METAL speaker? Cerwin Vega XLS-215They will give you dynamics for that metal! :-)Mot | |
| Inexpensive tube amp I agree that tubes in the preamp stage, with solid state for power, is the best combo. I use the Roth MC4 in my office for this setup. Having said that, if you really want tubes in the amp stage, check out the Dared VP-300B SET tube monblocks on e... | |
| on the desktop? I will second the Anthony Gallo Strada 2 with the Gallo sub....OR....the Adam F5/F7 actives. Excellent choices for price and setup requirements. I am currently using Mirage OMD-5s, with a Mirage sub and a Roth MC4 amp (ridiculously good amp). I ha... | |
| Player With A Killer Blu Ray Picture I second the Sony BDP-S790. I have it, and there is a reason WhatHiFi awarded it BlueRay of the Year multiple years in a row. It has a brilliant picture! Since it is out of production, you could buy it's replacement model, the BDP-S7200.Having sai... | |
| Good inexpensive temporary speakers I think this is a great opportunity to have some fun trying different speakers. For instance, there is a set of the amazing Totem Hawks on here for $1,500. They are fantastic speakers, and the Rainmaker is a great stand mount for half the price. I... | |
| best-ish integrated amp for movie and tv watching. I second the HK990. I was using it with my Mirage OMD-28s, and dual subwoofers, for TV and Music. It is a fantastic amp. I moved into a bigger house, and now have a full 5.2 setup, so am using a Pioneer Elite receiver for home theatre, but that HK... | |
| Wadia 151 Break-In I concur on the 100 hours of burn-in. I know this is going to be used mostly as a desktop setup, but it definitely has the ability to be the center of a main system. I just posted some comments on it's ability to push my Tannoy Definition DC8s, in... | |
| Power Cable Upgrade for Wadia 151 Update. I ended up using a ZU Bok power cable, and it worked really well. I used this amp over the winter while away from home. It performed wonderfully, however, it wasn't until yesterday that I learned how good it actually is. I put it on Craigs... | |
| Monitors that compete with quality floorstanders?? I got a pair of Tannoy Definition DC8s, and they are tremendous. Best stand-mounted speakers I've heard to date. Doesn't matter if I'm listening to Tool or Jim Evans Trio...they sound fantastic no matter what I throw at them. The only con to them ... | |
| Modern integrated vs. vintage...what do I get? I will second Martykl on the HK990. I have one and it is an excellent integrated. Mine is driving my Tannoy DC8s currently (pun intended), and will be relegated to the office to run my Gallo Strada 2s, and matching sub. The Tannoys will be run by ... | |
| Do you biamp your B&Ws or other comparable brands? I will offer a slightly different viewpoint. When I got in this game everyone said not to passive bi-amp, because it would make no difference. I have found a different reality. My home theatre system uses Mirage OMD-28s, and I have them bi-amped, ... | |
| Integrated Amp with HT by-pass Meambler, I haven't had a chance to update the HK990 through Stereo Dave's. I did, however, have him upgrade my Pioneer Elite receiver a year ago. It sounds fantastic, and I will definitely upgrade the HK990 in the future. Mot | |
| Sexiest Speakers LOL. Oh trolls. | |
| Sexiest Speakers Good grief...this nonsense again. Let's see, Reel-to-Reel and Guf both gushing about the speakers, and posting since...oh never. This is the first posting for both. I feel bad for this company, because this same guy keeps creating accounts and say... |
