| Blu-ray Battle: Marantz BD8002 vs BD7004 Congrats on your purchase. It will only get better. On some movies, your jaw will drop because the images will be so vivid....you'll forget about the plot. Enjoy. | |
| Bryston 7bsst vs 28bsst? Shannere, the obsession with ratings is that if you have 4 ohm speakers, you could run them with a 500 watt amp that doubles down into 4 ohms without worrying about circuit breaker problems. The whole point is moot if you're running 8 ohm speakers... | |
| Bryston 7bsst vs 28bsst? What are the capabilities of the 28B at 4 ohms if you don't bypass the rear circuit breaker on the amp? Bryston should state the amp's 4 ohm capabilities without having to bypass anything. That 1800 watts stereophilementions is a peak rating for a... | |

| Are Carver Preamps Any Good? Carver stuff always sells because they are inexpensive and great bang for buck pieces. They sound decent, but you get what you pay for. Great for a starter system. But as your ears get a little more discriminating, you'll move on to something bett... | |
| Bryston 7bsst vs 28bsst? Bryston does not list the 28B-SST output at 4 ohms. I wonder why?? For an amp that boasts 1,000 wpc @ 8 ohms, omitting the output at 4 ohms is a glaring omission and immediately sends up a red flag in my book. The 28B-SSt is two bridged monoblocs.... | |

| Blu-ray Battle: Marantz BD8002 vs BD7004 .Get the BD8002. It has the REALTA processor that makes for a stunning picture. Only the new BD9004 at $6,000 has the REALTA processor, the rest of the new Marantz lineup doesn't have it. The BD8002 can be had brand new for about $1k or less. I pa... | |
| Audio Research Ref 5 preamp .I have no interest in auditioning the Ref5. If I hear it and like it, I won't be able to sleep until I get one. So, I'll save myself the stress and sleep and stick with the Ref3. I'm still thrilled with and in love with the Ref3.. | |
| high end subwoofer...which one tho? ....forget about the Velodyne DD-18 as someone suggested here. It is waaay to much overkill for a room your size.. | |
| stereo amp vs monoblocks, any advantages? .I'll have to go with cool also. Monobloc...man, that just sounds cool. Even cooler when you spell it without the "k".. | |
| Amp stands for Pass Labs *I bought a couple different brands of stands for my X-600 monos and got ho-hum results. Someone here on the 'Gon suggested hockey pucks. I tried them and they work beautifully. I sold the stands and still use the hockey pucks. I have a concrete f... | |
| Thiel speakers--can you power them with reciever? The Thiels will bring your receiver to its knees and make it cry for its mamma. You need a separate amplifier with sufficient testicular fortitude to drive the Thiels. | |
| Traditional Brands vs. "Audiophile" Brands .Aptquark, you had me laughing out loud for five minutes!. | |
| I need help with my Equipment addiction .System synergy is the key. I've looked over your system components very closely and have done a very thorough analysis. All of your cables and electronics are well matched. The glaring problem you have is that you drink wine when you listen to yo... |
