Review: Hyperion HPS-938
Hello All;I was reading the threads about the 938's and i was wondering if anyone might be able to tell me: How they might match with a Krell FPB400cx and a Lexicon MC8 pre pro? How might they compare to Tyler Acoustics Linbrook signatures OR Dali... 
Cable Madness
One thing you will find. There are as many opinions as there are people. Ultimately -You, will be the jury and judge. If you buy something and don't like it. Sell it. Yes, you'lll probably take a monetary hit, less so if you buy used, but nothing ... 
B&W 801 s 3 or????
Kehut, sounds like you've been pondering this for a while. Thanks for the info. I've never heard of the Usher line of speakers. I'd love to know what you think of them. 
B&W 801 s 3 or????
Thanks for some of the ideas. Audiobugged...Where did you hear your Talons? Steveaudio...I'm not giving up yet, but I don't think the amp is the problem. The 400cx has plenty of juice. French_fries....Huh?...Are you saying the upstream electronics... 
Need suggestions for new speakers under $5K
Used B&W 801 series 3. They sound outstanding. 
What 5ch or 3/2 to match Aragon 8008bb?
Hi KincadeShut them off when your done. no doubt. Saves elec. and saves the amp. seems like you're getting alot of thoughts now. that's always a good thing. best of luck.P 
What 5ch or 3/2 to match Aragon 8008bb?
Hi KincadeTo my knowledge the 4004 Doesn't get close to the 8008BB. Re: triggering - You do have to turn them on manually - when they're off - they're off. No stand by. I happen to like that. I would go with the seperate amps. Two reasons. 1. Much... 
What 5ch or 3/2 to match Aragon 8008bb?
KincadeSorry for butting in again. :) NO you are not incorrect in your assumption of the Klipsch/Aragon amps. The older Aragon/Acurus amps of the mid to late '90's is the way to go. Just my 2 cents.Paul 
What 5ch or 3/2 to match Aragon 8008bb?
Hi KincadeI think you've answered half of your own question. My system, at one point, was the system you are considering. I used to run my mains with the 8008BB. (a great amp for the $$.) I am still using the 8008x3 for my center and rear channels... 
McCormack UDP-1/MAP-1: Best for the $$
I hope you guys are right about the UDP 1. I just ordered one! based on the few reviews I've read, and based on the discussion on Agon. I thought I'd give it a try. BTW if it's not to my liking - Does anyone want to buy an "as new" Mac. UDP 1? :-) 
new gear vs used gear
If I see a piece, used, that I'm looking for, I'll buy it if it's in great shape. However i just bought a new universal player for less than the used ones here on Agon. Hope it's as good as the reviews. 
hi-end universal players?
Question for Chickdishong. What is the picture like, on the UPD 1, when playing a DVD-V? ThanksPaul 
What does
Thank for the info gang. Now I feel audiophied.pt 
Denon 2900: Questions, comments
I have a 2900, and I have 2 complaints. 1. When the drawer closes it makes a shuddering sound as though it is laboring to close. Small point, but why does this happen? 2. When I put a new disc in to be played, the first 2 - 3 seconds of music are ... 
Best Power Amp to Drive B & W 801 S 3
I Own B&W 801 series 3's. I've had really good results with the Aragon 8008BB (pre-Klipsch) 200WPC Dual mono. I'm now using a Krell ksa 250. The krell is amazing. But either will handel the 801's. Good luck
