| My personal experiences moving from Sttaf to Hawk Thank you or writing such a thorough and detailed review. It is much appreciated! When I move to a smaller place in California I plan on using the Hawks with the Marantz PM-11S3. It is a fantastic combination. Mot | |
| The best speaker you ever heard? I have to update my answer from the MBL 101 Extreme to the Rockport Altair. I heard the Altair at the Sound Environment in Omaha, Nebraska. They did things that I couldn't believe were possible. I have never heard their equal. Mot | |
| Recommend me Bookshelf for Office That is some serious power you have for a desktop system. I would also look at the Anthony Gallo Strada 2 and the Magnepan Mini setup. Both have been described as the ultimate desktop system. I actually have the Gallo Strada 2s, just haven't had t... | |
| Power Cable Upgrade for Wadia 151 Those Anti-Cables look nice. I'm also looking at the Wireworld Siver Electra 7, Transparent Premium Power Link and the Pangea AC-9. Don't know if anyone has experience with these cables and class-D amps, but if so I'd love to hear impressions.Dank... | |
| Power Cable Upgrade for Wadia 151 I wasn't aware they were doing power cords now. I will definitely take a look. Thanks! | |
| Help me choose amp for 2-channel HT I will give a bump to the HK990 recommendation. I used one in my HT when it was 2 channel, and now use it in my bedroom system. It is a fantastic integrated, with a really good DAC, and the room correction is a necessity IMO. I now run it with a p... | |
| Help me pick a projector. I can't recommend enough getting a real screen. The difference between projecting on my wall, and the Elite Screen I bought off Amazon is truly stunning. The good thing is the screen doesn't need to be upgraded when you upgrade your projector.I bo... | |
| Good speakers to be placed close to rear wall I would recommend the Anthony Gallo Strada 2. They need to be very close to a wall to get the mid-bass reinforcement required. Read the 6Moons review for a detailed description of the sonic qualities. Cheers.Mot | |
| Speaker's magnetic field and pacemaker I have an implanted defibrillator/pacemaker, and do a lot of stupid things. I carried my Mirage 12" subwoofer upstairs and didn't think about that big magnet in the cabinet pressed against my chest. But no worries. It didn't turn it off. :-)Mot | |
| $1750 AVR/separates + disc player budget:thoughts? Some excellent choices here. I will add one more. The OPPO is great IF you are going to use the built-in DAC, and output the audio signal via RCA cables. If you are sending the audio via digital HDMI or TOSLINK, the DAC in the AVR is the one proce... | |
| Sound issues This may be a silly question, but did you run the room equalization software in the Marantz yet? When I ran that in my system it made a huge difference becasue the towers were overpowing the center. You can turn it off if you don't like the progra... | |
| Help with a Projector. I would also recommend googling that question, as there are video forums that may give you the answer. Mot | |
| Affordable Newer Speakers @Tgrisham has a good idea there...Music Direct has a clearance section with some great deals on stand mounted speakers. Epos, Wharfdale, Focal, etc. I think the best one is the Focal Chorus 806 V for $600 new, down from a grand. A little above you... | |
| What speakers work best with electronic music? I'm also a big fan of electronic music of all kinds. I would look into some active speakers. I had Quad 12L Actives, and was amazed at the dynamic speed they had. Without a passive crossover to rob the power and speed (attack/decay), they are expl... | |
| Starting a new dedicated HT I am using Mirage OMD-28 series for my home theatre and love it. My room is similar in size to yours, just 17 instead of 22, and 100" screen. Mirage are great for HT, as they are very immersive and have incredible bass. You can find them used pret... |
