| What's a "large" room It's in the overview, but appears to be square meters rather than volume and isn't listed for every model. I saw it for the 806v and 826v specifically. I was assume that they are talking about rooms with normal ceiling heights.I was mistaken in th... | |
| What's a "large" room The Focal website lists room volumes for each speaker. Maybe similar information is available for other brands? | |
| One Super high end cable or mid level set? Let make the assumption that you're getting the last 10% of improvement for ten times the cost and the mid-level cable cost is $250. It would make far more sense to have 10 cables that are capable of 9 out of 10 compared to a single 10 out of 10 w... | |
| integra dhc 80.1 It appears that the DHC-80.1 has balanced outputs that are not available on any of the other preamplifiers or receivers. Is that the feature you're choosing it for? | |
| integra dhc 80.1 Actually, the DTR-80.2 receiver shows on the website, but not the DHC-80.2 preamplifier.I think the DTR-50.2 is probably a better value than the DTR-80.2 when it comes to receivers, but don't know anything about the preamplifiers. I would imagine ... | |
| CD player how much to invest Ironically, the only other forums that I've participated on that have less concensus are religious forums. It amazes me how similar the discussions in audio and religion really are. The biggest difference is that there isn't a judgement day where ... | |
| CD player how much to invest Unless you have some particular reason to be unhappy with the sound you're getting, why consider getting something else? There will always be something more expensive and someone that will tell you that it's better than what you have. Unless you c... | |
| Which SACD sound better than Vinyl coffee2 - statements like "None that's the answer" are obviously highly subjective which, in my opinion, reduces its credibility. If you had said "I have not heard any SACDs that were better than the vinyl equivalent" it wouldn't be such an absolu... | |
| Dynaudio C1, why so expensive? The Focal Utopia Diablo's retail for something like $12,000 without the stands. They are just a two way speaker design. Great sounding speaker, but I guess they should be. | |
| High Powered Wireless Network for Audio I have a netbook and it's very slow compared to any other current vintage computer. I like it for what it is, but wouldn't suggest using it for an audio application. The only computer that I use that is slower is my govermnet provided unit at work... | |
| Need Help Starting from Scratch Here's my devils advocate question relating to the active Klipsch speakers. Your relying on Klipsch to not only build a quality speaker, but a quality amplifier. Would you consider purchasing a Klipsch amplifier for passive speakers? I don't know ... | |
| Overpowering Speakers Sebrof is also correct that you're very rarely sending the full rated power of your amplifier to the speakers. An EE buddy of mine told me that a rule of thumb on a reciever that shows volume in -dB is that full power is at 0dB and, I believe, hal... | |
| Overpowering Speakers The best explaination that I've heard is that the speaker pulls power rather than the amplifier pushing power. When you turn up the volume the speaker pulls the required power from the amplifier and if you turn the volume past the physical limits ... | |
| Need Help Starting from Scratch You're getting some great advice so far from what I can tell.The only potential advantage to the Elite Reciever would be that the cost might allow you to push more of the current budget towards other items and then you could upgrade to a better 2-... | |
| Need Help Starting from Scratch There is a great deal on the Pioneer website for a nice 2 channel receiver SX-A6-J for $280 instead of $500. The matching SACD players appear to not be available anymore. I have the SACD player and have been very impressed with the product. If I w... |
