Recommended receiver for HT
Hello DB,      Excellent.  Now, please call a local mover and get those 15" subs sent to the repair facility in LA.  Remember, you're just supervising, sipping a cold drink and not lifting a thing.Thanx,  Tim  
Upgrading sub to get a live feel.
Hello Erik,     I understand your points but think they’re only partially valid:"Sure, swarms are nice, but not everyone can afford or has the space for them."      Thewatcher101 currently has the $4K/pair JBL 4319s and was looking for a sub or su... 
Upgrading sub to get a live feel.
Hello the watcher101,     Man, you've received a lot of conflicting advice on how to best improve bass response performance in your system and room.  I believe they're all sincere and well-meaning in the advice they've given.    However, they all ... 
Upgrading sub to get a live feel.
thewatcher101,     You may be able to improve the bass response at your listening seat just by repositioning them.  I'd suggest using the crawl positioning method sequentially for each.     If this doesn't work and you have the room space, using t... 
Is dedicated PreAmp with Oppo 105 needed?
Hello atmosphere,     Thank you for pointing out accurately that a HT Bypass switch is not technically necessary on a preamp since using the proper unity gain position on the preamp's volume control can be used as a substitute.  I was trying to ke... 
Is dedicated PreAmp with Oppo 105 needed?
Hello Hits,    No problem, I'll help you out as much as I can.    I actually use an Oppo 105 in my system, too. I use my system about 60% for HT (TV and movies) and 40% for 2-ch stereo music. I currently use the Oppo as the preamp without a se... 
Anything better than Revel F228be?
Anything better than the Revel F228be for less than $20K MSRP that is?     Yes, a pair of Magnepan 3.7i and an LG  77" 4K OLED hdtv with about $7-8K cash left over.Use your noodle,      Tim   
My expert tips on building a sensible world class audio system.
      Unfortunately, viridian is a lizard like creature form the planet Virid.  Viridians have no mouths and, since they use a different orifice for speech, it's often difficult to understand them when they're seated. Yes, they often make little s... 
Bryston 4B3 or Ps Audio M700 monoblock?
Hello Karl,      Yes, no doubt the Bryston 4BSST is a very competent amp.  I've read very positive professional reviews of the class D M700s but have never personally heard them.  I'm also looking forward to hearing his impressions, hopefully he'l... 
Is dedicated PreAmp with Oppo 105 needed?
Hello Hits,     You really still haven't resolved your issue after about 4 years?      I find this unacceptable and would like to help you finally resolve things.     It seems to me you just need to buy a good new or used 2-ch stereo tube preamp w... 
Bryston 4B3 or Ps Audio M700 monoblock?
Hello Karl,     I have no problem with individuals criticizing any amp or amp type if it's based on personal experience. I was hearing the same accolades and criticisms repeatedly of class D amps about 10 years ago on Audiogon forums and was curio...

DB,     So, do you have both the Ref 1s for music and the LS50s for HT and TV permanently setup near each other at the front of your room?Tim 
Bryston 4B3 or Ps Audio M700 monoblock?
Hello gammonit_2000,     I know your Brystons are nice amps but I know a good class D pair of monoblocks will also at a minimum match them on sound quality and pay for itself fairly quickly just on all the electricity you'd save, even if you left ...

Hello DB,     No problem.  I can tell you know what you're doing, we all need a bit of assistance once in a while.      Lastly, I would just suggest you configure your system so that you can use your future 4-sub DBA system with either music or HT... 
Bryston 4B3 or Ps Audio M700 monoblock?
gammonit_2000:"noble 100 I haven’t, I need power and low impedance capability. I went from 300 watts to 600 watts a channel. These Infinity Kappa 8s need lots of juice down to literally under an ohm. Am I missing something in the Class D departmen...
