| Can you think of a reason not to? Joebi_wan, you said it right, “We all have our preferences”. I’ve always preferred separates from not just a performance standpoint but for the looks. I sold the Anthem P5 and now on a serious hunt for a McIntosh MC302. It’s a good bit lighter th... | |
| Can you think of a reason not to? Thank you everyone for your input. Since I don't have the room nor budget for a proper home theater and quite honestly since I had reduced my system to two Paradigm S2 speakers and one REL R528, I felt the Anthem P5 was way overkill. Plus that thi... | |
| Can you think of a reason not to? All great input gentlemen. I do have the P5 advertised and hoping to get a fair price. I've made up my mind to scale down to a 2-channel for casual music listening and movie watching (in 2-channel). The P5 is just a BEAST at 135lbs and I've alrea... | |
| Can you think of a reason not to? I really don't need or want two systems. I also have to keep room for a couple guitar amp heads and a 2x12 cabinet. Oh. and a couple guitars too. lol My priorities have changed from wanting the best audio system I could afford to the best guitar ... | |
| Can you think of a reason not to? Since the amp is the heart of the system and the P2 weighs ~1/2 of the P5, I would have all the power and audio quality I would ever need. I've always preferred separates and quite honestly like the aesthetics of the Anthem product. I guess that m... | |
| Can you think of a reason not to? Thanks for all the feedback. Maybe a bit more context would help zero in on my point. My intention is to simplify. The Anthem P5 is 135 lbs so that classifies it as a “BEAST”! It is an awesome sounding piece of equipment but it is 5-channels. I o... | |
| HOW DO YOU CLEAN YOUR CABLE JACKETS? There’s a great idea! I’ve always wanted an air compressor... lolMuch more effective than the vacuum cleaner, and has so many more uses! Time to go to Harbor Freight before I put the whole thing back together as soon as my amp gets back from servi... | |
| HOW DO YOU CLEAN YOUR CABLE JACKETS? The attachment I used was the crevice tool. Having an angled edge worked well. Using a Dremel, I cut a half circle big enough for the largest cable. Using a finger to bridge over the tools end I could draw the cable through. Worked pretty good. I ... | |
| HOW DO YOU CLEAN YOUR CABLE JACKETS? With three years of dust, I don’t believe a lint roller would do the trick, especially with dust below the top fibers. A damp microfiber could turn dust into mud. Fabric cable jackets being very porous dust or mud might get left behind. Good ideas... | |
| Do speaker cables need a burn in period? Everyone has their own idea of burn-in. I've been around a long time and the best way to "condition" your cables, Boil water in a stainless steel pot and submerge your cables. Be sure not to burn yourself. Boil the water down till the pot burns. T... | |
| Is there actually a difference? "SS amplification (pre and power) reached such a high level of development over the past three decades that competing units are functionally and sonically equivalent. "This is simply NOT true. If you have decent ears, you can tell the difference b... | |
| Surprised prof,I must rebut to some of your post and this will apply to all of "us". First, we all have different speakers, room conditions, subwoofers, and ideas of what information is supposed to sound like.Those who use a subwoofer OTHER than a REL, you ... | |
| Surprised kosst, with all due respect, you are far from correct. If you’re talking about inexpensive bookshelf speakers, their performance doesn’t justify the money agreed, however, spend good money and get quality products and a REL will integrate nicely. ... | |
| Stands? Try VTI "VSP Series"http://www.vtimanufacturing.com/product_category/speaker-stands-vsp-series/But, they're about $200 / pair. I have them and filled with sand to make for a very SOLID stand. If you go with cheeper wood stands your sound will come... | |
| subwoofer question......what size sub ? I agree with wallyfl., Here's my two cents;I have three REL R-528 and one REL T-9. The T-9 is used for center in a home theater set-up and one REL R-528 behind the sofa. In front for LF and RF I have Paradigm Signature S2 and just outside them are... |
