| CD/DVD Transports to Surround Processor Thanks to both of you for your comments: I'm somewhat knowledgeable in this stuff, but them I'm completely lost at times, as well.Glenn: you comment that I can use the Dac in my pre-amp for 'Stereo', would this be for 5.1, as well, if the Transpor... | |
| What is the scoop on passive biamping? Second Inscrutable's comments; my suggestion is to look at Bryston's Pro amps, they have such a feature, and they are excellent SS amps. | |
| Disappointed in SACD player I have purchased most of my HT equipment (primarily B&K) at BMS. Dan Richardson, at their Towson, MD store, is the only one that knows this stuff cold. If you are really interested, then call him.Facts are Facts, though, and correctly stated, ... | |
| CJ Premier 12 Mono's w/ Nautilus 802's I believe the primary issue is any difference in gain between the manufacturers, and you should be able to get this information directly from them; the alternative would be to purchase something like the Brystron Pro amps: these have a volume cont... | |
| Correction to Bryston SP-1 auction above I'm currently looking at the SP-1, in conjunction with the MC-12 (Lexico), Theta Casablanca II and a composite Meridian 861/800): different price stratums, but the price/performance is the issue.You're very active on the site, and provide good cou... | |
| Whats better Nautilus 802 or 801 A similar perspective: I own the N802s, and chose them for both asthetics and cost: the N801s are too much for my listenting area, where about $3k more expensive on their own, and required significantly more amp.I'll wait to hear the N800s to dete... | |
| Question : Matching with B W 803 speaker I concur with Abstract7, and will add to your consideration both the Theta Dreadnaught and the Meridian 558: both have the power to run the N803s and are on the richer High Freguency (HF) side: the Krells and Brystrons could be harsh on the HF. I ... | |
| Meridian 861 - want a competative dealer Contact Ken Forsythe at the Meridian website (in the US). He's configuring an 861 for me now: my guess is, that with the recent slowdown in discretionary wealth: the Stock Market, the high-end manufacturers are dealing.At least it's an option. | |
| bryston 14bst or aragon 8008bb Wings:I appreciate the comment: I'm still undecided, but am leaning toward the Thetas. I'm having more trouble determining my next priority: survive with my B&K monos, purchase a real DVD-A player, then upgrade my pre/pro (probably both will b... | |
| Meridian 558 vs. Bryston 6B, Arag 8008x3 Interesting, you mentioning the Marsh. The Absolute Sound magazine continues to sing their praise, as have others. I'll have to look at them seriously.Thanks, again.Mike | |
| Meridian 558 vs. Bryston 6B, Arag 8008x3 Thanks for both the comments and the insight.I'm sleeping on it, my gut will tell me some morning how I really feel.Take Care.Mike | |
| Meridian 558 vs. Bryston 6B, Arag 8008x3 Thanks for the very informative response.The B&W N802s are transparent, and articulate all upstream (Pre-amp, amp, DVD, CD) equipment: they do run bright, based on their Tweeter (the driver, and its positioning).My center is the B&W HTM-1:... | |
| Speakers to hang on to for LIFE B&W N802s: Price / Performance, in the audiophile range. | |
| Recievers versus separates Great Comments, it will be hard to add anything of tangible worth; but I'll try.I have the B&K 202: it is said that B&K put in their Reference 20 pre-amp in the package, then added 5x105wpc amplification to it. It is a fine receiver, but a... | |
| User group for B&W speakers As would I: N802s are great. |
