| Some amplifier questions Finsup and Wemfan,Finsup:"Tim,Of course, all your suggestions are sensible and probably have been extremely helpful to Wemfan. I re-read the thread and I still don't see him mentioning HT. He's mentioned TV twice in the thread. He'll probably clar... | |
| Has the Oppo carried the AV industry? Avgoround, Yes, the Oppo can do all the things you listed but it can also play downloaded music files that have much better fidelity and a wider dynamic range than CDs. And the Oppo will receive and playback music files sent wirelessly to it from ... | |
| Some amplifier questions Finsup, A similar comment has come up before in this thread. You are completely correct; many simpler, less expensive,solutions for Wemfan's originally posted question currently exist that would produce better sq than the supplied amp and speakers... | |
| Some amplifier questions Wemfan, I think the Emotiva XPA-3 would be a good match for the system you're building. The more I see and learn about the KEF LS50 speakers, the more I like them as a good choice for your needs. As far as improving on the Emotiva for sq and your ... | |
| Has the Oppo carried the AV industry? Rgs92, "Will the Oppo (105)'s digital volume control work if I connect it via the analog outputs to my preamp if I choose this method?" Yes, the Oppo's digital volume control will adjust both the 'Dedicated Stereo' balanced and unbalanced outputs ... | |
| Some amplifier questions Pagawan2b, "Thanks for the kind words, Tim. He was part of a truly great generation." You're welcome. I instinctively feel proud and grateful to the Americans of the WWII era, especially those who fought. They truly were a great generation; some h... | |
| Some amplifier questions Pgawan2b, I respect your wife's grandfather's service and the sentimental value of his gift to her. To many a/v enthusiasts, however, anyone pairing $15k of electronics with a 42" tv screen is definitely guilty of some kind of offense. Personally,... | |
| Some amplifier questions Wemfan, I submitted another reply to you a few days ago that still hasn't posted. Hopefully this one posts quicker. If I remember correctly, I think I recommended going with the Golden Ear Triton Three spkrs because they have a smaller sub built ... | |
| Some amplifier questions Hi Wemfan, I did a little research for you since you're under the weather. Here's what I found out assuming you're going to choose between Golden Ear, Gallo, KEF, Aperion and KRK speakers:Golden Ear Triton Three-the matching SuperCenter X center (... | |
| Has the Oppo carried the AV industry? Avgoround, You sound a little down. My guess is it's just a cyclical thing and you'll get your a/v mojo back soon. I just wanted to respond to a few of your concerns about the Oppo 105:1. "Let's forget the fact, for the moment, that the Oppo's don... | |
| Some amplifier questions Wemfan,Ok, it sounds like you have made some decisions:You have a rack ordered with 3 shelf positions that will hold a yet to be determined center spkr, the Oppo 105 and a yet to be determined amp or a/v receiver. I'm not certain, but it sounds li... | |
| Has the Oppo carried the AV industry? Schubert, I'm generally a tube lover, too. I recall my dad and I pulling tubes from our tv and bringing a bagful to the local Walgreen's for testing back in the 1960s when I was a kid(I'm 55 now). That's a lot of tubes in your EE Avant pre. My VTL... | |
| Some amplifier questions Wemfan, Just a few thoughts:1. The Oppo 105- I bought mine at Crutchfield for $1,219 but free shipping. You can get it for $1,199 at Amazon and direct from Oppo but not with free shipping. When I bought at the end of Jan., this resulted in a net p... | |
| I want it all Zavato, Oppo has 2 options: the under budget BDP-103 for $499 for good sound and video or the over budget BDP-105 for $1,199 for even better audio and the same video. Both are bluray players that can be used as a limited input preamps, surround pr... | |
| Some amplifier questions Wemfan, Just noticed a classified listing on this site for an Emotiva XPA-3 for $100 off at $699, new is $799 by audiolawyer100. He says it's 1 month old and still in the box and will ship from Pa. for free. Just a heads-up, seems like a good dea... |
