Best Amp for Timbre, Depth and Spatial Resolution?
Dave_72 and others...I have no problem with Bo being an audio salesman either and preferring certain brands, particularly the ones he sells. If only he stated he prefers them based on his taste in sound. But he doesn't.Instead, he slams the compet... 
Best Amp for Timbre, Depth and Spatial Resolution?
Oh I am sure he is not done yet P59. He has only been talking about the multi-dimensionality of certain amps in this thread. Amps that coincidently are the ones he sells. He hasn't started talking about how certain amps have "talent". Amps that ag... 
Which REL sub, R528 or B2
Per Bo yet again..."Many people want to do it themselves. I see all the time. I am who I am because I want the best for every person. Because I know how important it is that a set is well balanced."Keep them coming Bo because your posts are gettin... 
Marantz PM-11 S3 - thoughts?
The Marantz Reference series integrateds are excellent solid state amps. I have auditioned the PM-11S3's little brother, the 15S2LE several times and finally broke down and recently purchased one. It is now happily driving my 4 Ohm Vienna Bach Gra... 
Which REL sub, R528 or B2
Here we go again.I'll say this about you Bo, you are dedicated to your work as an audio salesman, constantly pushing the brands you handle. You already touted Monitor Audio over REL back in April when this thread started. I guess now that this thr... 
MUSICAL FIDELITY - M1 PWR vs Home Theater Receiver
I cannot comment on the how M1's will compare to your AVR.I can tell you that if your heart and ears are set on the Krell, then this is what you should get. Especially at the price quoted - very attractive indeed! I do not know the exact reason th... 
Amplifier for Monitor Audio RX 8 system
Hi Zd542"What specs do you look at to find the dimensionality of an amp?"Not sure if your directing this question to me or Bo. If to me, I never worry about the dimensionality of an amp. I worry about whether it can adequately drive the speakers I... 
Amplifier for Monitor Audio RX 8 system
Per Bo..."It is very simple; you test and listen to the amps."What tests are you performing and what test equipment are you using? If you are just listening, then your assertion that some amps are dimensional and others are not is purely subjectiv... 
Amplifier for Monitor Audio RX 8 system
How do like the job your A21 is doing on your L/R mains now? If you're happy, you can expect the same level of performance from the A51 - a very fine 5 channel amp indeed.I currently use a Pioneer Elite VSX 52, similar to your 53, as my pre/pro ho... 
new preamp under $750 with remote, solid state...
How about the Parasound 2100 pre-amp? Its a full featured solid state stereo pre-amp with remote. It even has a HT Bypass feature and bass management. They are $650 brand new, much less for used. Hope this helps. 
Affordable integrated amps with HT bypass?
Not familiar with Naim other than their cult following. I am sure you'll get plenty of opinions on this amp.I am familiar with Musical Fidelity and their M3i at 76 wpc and $1500 list is a very good unit too. Yes, it has HT bypass. Don't know how I... 
Affordable integrated amps with HT bypass?
I am a big fan of units with a HT Bypass feature, whether they are integrated amps or pre-amps. It truly allows the best of worlds, HT and high quality 2 channel stereo in one system and with the push of a button.You do not mention budget but do s... 
Best phono preamp for Project Carbon turntable
I use a Pro-ject Phono Box S with my Pro-ject RM5.1 SE/Sumiko Blue Point No. 2. This pairing happened by accident.I actually bought the Phono Box S for a secondary system I was building. It was more phono pre-amp than I needed but it was offered t... 
5.1 under 4k?
There you have it Jeff. Per Bo..."You would be a fool to choose for a 2-dimensional sound." Its that easy.So all you have to do is choose a 3 dimensional or even multi-dimensional brand and according to Bo, you will be in audio nirvana and most im... 
5.1 under 4k?
What's your preference? Movie's or Music? Do you plan on driving all 5 speakers with your AVR or are you going to get an external amp some day; either 2 channel or multi channel? If your going to just use the AVR, pay attention to sensitivity and ...
