| Separates for 2-channel & HT, or.....? You know, tonight I tried just using my front speakers for HT (O.K., it was just for watching/listening to the Tv) and I didn't really like it. I changed back to 5.1 and it sounded "right." 2-channel, on the other hand, sounded great for CD play b... | |
| Thoughts on Plasma, LCD, DLP and which way to go I don't think that the high altitude/noise thing was a myth, but I am glad that manufacturers have been able to correct the problem. Now if only they would lower the price of plasma TVs a bit, I might be able to afford one, and get rid of my *@#$*... | |
| Separates for 2-channel & HT, or.....? I know - a lot of people seem to think that only their hobby is worth the money! Most people think I'm nuts (and maybe I am!) for not making do with a $500 HT set up from Circuit City and a boom box, and wonder why I have at least 6 pairs of relat... | |
| Confusion reigns - tube amp,ss amp, integrated..?? Thanks Apt_one - I very much want to hear the music, not the electronics. Your comments are quite convincing. I am especially interested in the Welborne Labs Terraplane 300b - after all, the bubinga wood will match some of the wood on my equipment... | |
| Confusion reigns - tube amp,ss amp, integrated..?? I am indeed considering getting rid of my rear speakers, and possibly my center, but still would like the sub for movies. Quite a few people have mentioned that just running the front speakers for HT works very well indeed. After all, I don't have... | |
| Separates for 2-channel & HT, or.....? Horseface - You do indeed have a lot invested in your set up! I am not quite able to invest that much, but also want the sound of tubes for my 2-channel. I was considering the Mod-Wright 9.0 SE for my system; I would be interested in your impressi... | |
| Separates for 2-channel & HT, or.....? Programmergeek - I have a local dealer that carries the Audio Research line so I may actually be able to take a listen. This same dealer suggests pairing the Audio research preamp with the Anthem D1 processor/receiver. Any thoughts about this comb... | |
| Thoughts on Plasma, LCD, DLP and which way to go Thanks for the info about altitude & plasma sets - the noise problem is what I was thinking about - and using the set at high altitude, not how it reacts to being shipped by jet. :-) I live in Colorado so the altitude question is important to ... | |
| Confusion reigns - tube amp,ss amp, integrated..?? first of all rotel makes fine ss gear. secondly unless you are prepared to give up a lot bass and high frequencies, there are a whole lot of options without buying cain and cain abbeys.Jaybo - I have no complaints about the Rotel gear I have, I ju... | |
| Thoughts on Plasma, LCD, DLP and which way to go Have the problems with plasma and high altitude been fixed as yet? Just curious. One of the reasons I didn't go for a plasma screen - besides the price - was that they didn't do well with high altitude. This was about a year ago, so I am sure thin... | |
| Modwright SWL 9.0SE Pre ... your thoughts welcome I am also interested in the Modwright preamp. I would be using it with the Cain & Cain Abbys (95dB;) is this a good match? Also, what amp are you folks using with this preamp?Holly | |
| Preamp/Amp synergy with Cain Abby's? Do any of these amps have an HT pass through? I am looking for an integrated tube amp with the pass through but haven't found any in my price range; I would rather not pay more than $2000... :-( I think I am out of luck and will end up just contin... | |
| Preamp/Amp synergy with Cain Abby's? Hi Rene - thanks for the comparison. I will be buying my Abbys from Jim of Sounds Real Audio too - small world! I am leaning towards the Sophia, but will have to wait to hear it to see what I think. Of course, when I auditioned the Abbys, Jim had ... | |
| Preamp/Amp synergy with Cain Abby's? Rene - Did you ever consider the Sophia Electric Baby amp? Or maybe their next step up in entry level amps, the S.E.T.Music El34 stereo integrated amplifier?http://www.sophiaelectric.com/My Cain & Cain dealer had good things to say about the S... | |
| Matching center/rear speakers for Cain & Cain Abby Rene - I don't think Terry is really switching to the dark side! j/k I am just very happy he is going to be making smaller Abbys that I can use for my rear speakers. I may indeed hold off on getting the center; Terry also suggested that I might no... |
