Paradigm vs Dali vs PMC
I have the Mark I 400s. and Yes I think the 400's sound really great with vocals, strings that kinda of range. Probably due to the extra mid driver. The 800s, with more power, have a fuller range.My room is 20 x ~35 x 8,hardwood floors, reflective... 
Paradigm vs Dali vs PMC
Gotta agree with Dan001. I have both Paradigms studios 20s, c-570 center, adp 470s, servo-15 sub and Dali Helicons 400s, 800s and 200 in a 20 x 35ft room. Like paradigms and almost bought the new sig 6s but at the last minute got dalis here and on... 
whistling in the ears
Helpful thread, thanks.I just developed severe tinnitus and coincidently just took 14 days of Prilosec from a gastro doc.Also, I too am 52.5 and also just finally got my dream system put together. I am new to this hobby and have been listening lot... 
Anyone using the analog inputs from the processor?
Should have mentioned I also have a primaluna8 tube cd player, that has only analog outs to the analog linestage, and it sounds incredible. 
Anyone using the analog inputs from the processor?
I agree with both points of view here.I have a denon 5900 hooked up to a denon 5803, and have both analog and digital interconnects. The digital connection sounded better because I could manipulate the sound in the avr. But then I added a cj met1 ... 
Dali Helicon 800 Mk2 are stunning ?
FWIW I just recieved my cj met150 5 channel hybrid amp to drive my Dali mk1 800s,400s & 200. It replaces a denon 5803 avr, and compliments a cj met1 pre. I was worried that it would not be a huge improvement from the denon, after all the cj is... 
11 Amps, 1 TV, 3 Components...1 Receptacle Help
sorry, your right, meant 200 amps. I have an older place with 125 amp box which had to be upgraded to 200 amp service for an addition. Think 200 amp is standard now for new contruction. Still ran out slots quickly. BTW hiring an electrician was we... 
Shall I add a preamp to my setup?
Conrad Johnson Met1 6 channel hybrid tube preamp added warmth and imaging to my denon ht setup. Might be just the thing to compliment the Titan. 
11 Amps, 1 TV, 3 Components...1 Receptacle Help
Supermaz, You may want to first check to be sure your main service has any room left for more breakers. If its a 125amp you could hire an electrician to convert it to 220 
Anyone using the analog inputs from the processor?
Yes I prefer analog outs from the dvd player to an analog multi-channel preamp, then to a multi channel amp, instead of a avr processor/amp.Think the idea is if you have a good dvd player you can use it's dac processor straight to a dedicated amp ... 
What Muiltichannel amp for Dali 800 MKII
Should be able to use Onkyo's pre-outs to the 350 if it has them, which it should. If you added the cj met1 6channel tube pre-amp to that combo it would tie the avr and 350 together for synergy and way better sound. Onyko will sound unveiled and m... 
What Muiltichannel amp for Dali 800 MKII
Mozvz is right, consider keeping the 350 to drive the 800s for 2 channel and add a multichannel amp or avr with a bypass for ht. I have a similar setup, Dali 800s (mk1) for fronts, 200 center and 400s as rears, servo 15 sub. Currently using a deno...

SS Amp for natural vocals
I'm new to this hobby, ok habit... but have read many of your opinions stating that the pre amp and speakers play a large role. I am using a cj met1 6 channel tube preamp with dali 800s and 400s along with an avr ss amp ( denon 5803) and vocals so... 
Old top-of-the-line A/V Receiver vs. new mid-level
Hasaanchop,A couple of days ago I would have said go with the Denon 5803, even tho it is a avr integrated, it is no slouch for power with its 7x170 watts, and for used price its a good deal. But Jamesw's responce has got me to rethink that a dedic...
