| Noob, need help please Yes the use of a better amplifier may help, however one would still be passing a signal through a multichannel processor as part of a budget AVR. I believe the OP is interested in starting with a 2-channel system and adding the video system later. | |
| What's more important in a difficult room, room correction or higher, clean, power? I usually think of room treatment not room correction. It might be of help on the sub, if not don't use the correction feature. If you like the Peachtree you should keep it. | |
| Suggestions for bookshelf speakers that have great dynamics, budget of $500 used. I heard the Haydns at a dealer quite some time ago. I thought they sounded very lush, somewhat warm, refined. Good looking speaker. Let us know what you think of them. | |
| Noob, need help please Since you only will be using the AV receiver for the center and surrounds you can purchase one at lower cost. Use most of the $1000 for the 2-channel integrated. Look for a used 5.1 receiver. You will need the remote with the receiver.I use a AV ... | |
| Suggestions for bookshelf speakers that have great dynamics, budget of $500 used. At that price the Polks seem interesting. As I have previously stated I already have too many speakers or I might try a pair. | |
| Noob, need help please I believe one can purchase an integrated amplifier with home theater bypass. The integrated would drive the main speakers. Then one could purchase a modest audio video receiver to drive the center and surround speakers. The integrated would supply... | |
| Another NOOB Question - Surround Sound & Amplifiers I rum movies on my pole barn via a projector. I use 2-channel audio for it. Works well. | |
| Easiest way to get LP converted to CD (attn Rachmaninoff lovers) I once had that capability, however no longer do. If I still had I would offer to help. Wish you the best. | |
| Easiest way to get LP converted to CD (attn Rachmaninoff lovers) You will need to find someone who has a quality TT and A to D converter. They would convert the LP to a digital file which can be read by a computer with a CD drive. The file could then be burned to disc. | |
| Which to Upgrade first? My Amplifier or Speakers Well, if you want to stay with the Maggie sound however want to improve on the dynamics and transparency, then I would go for an amplifier that will better provide that over the Mac. You could continue up the Maggie line later. It really depends o... | |
| Suggestions for bookshelf speakers that have great dynamics, budget of $500 used. Uberwaltz, yes, I was thinking that $500 would be more likely to purchase a speaker sounding different as apposed to better. I guess it comes down to how much you enjoy the Monitors. I have 3 sets of speakers for use in my secondary system, chang... | |
| Noob, need help please I believe millercarbon indicated an integrated amplifier if your were to go with a 2-channel. At your budget and for best sound quality a 2-channel integrated would serve best. There are many late model used ones for sale. | |
| Suggestions for bookshelf speakers that have great dynamics, budget of $500 used. Lots of options with $500 on the used market. I have not had a chance to hear the Revels. From what I have read I have become interested, however have too many speakers pairs. | |
| Noob, need help please A receiver has a radio tuner, a preamplifier for input processing, and a amplifier to boost signal strength for the speakers. An integrated amplifier lacks the tuner. Then you have separate preamplifiers/processors and amplifiers. In some home set... | |
| Suggestions for bookshelf speakers that have great dynamics, budget of $500 used. I own a pair of Dali Zensor 1s. I purchased them used ($200) from another AGer who wanted to upgrade to the Zensor 3s. The 3s would be better for a 'largish' room, however can't say how they would compare to the Monitors.A used pair of Paradigm St... |
