| Oppo 970 sounds better than HDDVD player on DVDs? Thanks for the replies. I am going to connect the RCA HDDVD player via coaxial as well, then compare the audio to the Oppo. But I had the RCA connected via coaxial for months after purchase, and I don't think it ever sounded as good as the Oppo.Do... | |
| Problem with Arcam or JM LABS My wife and I have had the same ongoing problem with the intelligibility of dialog in 5.1 movies. Maybe it is that we are both getting north of 50 yrs now. I have a decent center speaker, cables, and receiver and amp, but still sometimes have to t... | |
| How big should center spkr be to set to "large"? Drcruz,I am not getting BETTER bass with sub set to "yes" in the absence of a sub. All I am saying is that in DD and DTS movie tracks, there is a lot of deep bass in the fronts and surrounds that is separate from the LFE bass, which is mostly rumb... | |
| How big should center spkr be to set to "large"? I don't yet use a sub, and since my front L/R as well as the surrounds have deep bass extension, I can say that even if I did have a sub, I would still set the fronts and surrounds to "large". Why you ask? Well, I have done some experimentation wi... | |
| How big should center spkr be to set to "large"? "Setting the center channel to "large" is better sounding regardless of how small your center speaker is because when you set your receiver/processor to "small", the receiver inserts a high-pass filter, usually steep-slope and not of the greatest ... | |
| How big should center spkr be to set to "large"? Drcruz,Yes, I have experimented extensively with setting the receiver to no center speaker. Due to the TV, equipment rack, and the room itself, I can't move the Legacys around much at all. I have played around some with the toe-in. Actually, I am ... | |
| How big should center spkr be to set to "large"? This is weird, but as I have continued to experiment with switching the center setting between large and small, I am finding I think I like it better overall with the center set to large.Why? Because it seems my Paradigm 570 has a bit less "chesti... | |
| Alpha Core Goertz MI 2 upgrade Thanks Unsound and Listener57,Before I do anything, I need to check into how my connections need to be. (I already have one set of MI-2 with bananas on both ends that I could use for the HF posts) And, boy, that MI-3 is more than twice the price o... | |
| Alpha Core Goertz MI 2 upgrade Unsound,What would you think about bi-wiring with MI-2 and MI-3? That is, I would run MI-2 to the HF posts, and MI-3 to the LF posts. Would you expect that to create any problem?I am running Legacy Signature II speakers, which are bi-wireable and ... | |
| Best $200 speaker cables for overall performance? Angel,Thanks for the tip on the jps supcondutor fx.What kind of design are they? | |
| HT reciever help I just wish the Arcams had two multi-channel inputs, since I have HDDVD and universal audio players. | |
| A multi-channel amp approach that is musical I have a Sherbourn 5/1500A. It has 5 mono amp sections @ 200wpc. It has gotten good reviews for its audio quality. I think it sounds great. Weighs 80 pounds. | |
| Best $200 speaker cables for overall performance? Unsound, No, not yet. I have a bi-wire set of Tara Labs RSC Prime(at least 10 years old) in there, which have always sounded pretty good to me. I have been thinking about trying the MI-2s, bi-wired, in there to see if they can make a significant i... | |
| Best $200 speaker cables for overall performance? D_dewards,I really do appreciate your efforts to assist my hapless self! The cables under consideration in this thread are for another system in the back room, which has Legacy Classics for the L/R, along with a Legacy "Satellite" for the center s... | |
| Best $200 speaker cables for overall performance? Well, I picked up a set of Goertz MI-2, and briefly evaluated them over the weekend. They replaced a set of stranded Esoteric cables that I have had for many years. The MI-2 is definitely clearer and more coherent. I think the timbral accuracy of ... |
