| Very large room HT Per Bo..."It is that simple! In the world of audio most amps are in the 2-dimensional league.""That is why I do not sell 2-dimensional audio anymore."There you have it Salmoni. All you gotta do is look for the specification in the manufacturers br... | |
| How Many Turntables Have You Owned I have had four in this order...1. BSR McDonald with ceramic cartridge. I think it the was the POS (piece of shit) 5000 model.2. Pioneer PL12D with a AT12E. My first real table!3. Technics SL1800 with an Ortofon VMS20E. My first DD table.4. Pro-Je... | |
| Remember the year and first vynil you ever bought? It was 1972 and my first vinyl purchase was Go All The Way by the Raspberries. As I was just turning into a teenager, what horny kid wouldn't want this record because of the lyrics? | |
| Very large room HT Yeah, that's a large room. But you have the budget to fill it with good sound.My first question would be if the system will be strictly for HT (movies, TV) or for music too? This will determine the type of speakers you should be shopping for. And ... | |
| Advice on AV Receiver versus Separates While not having the latest & greatest version of Audyssey, the AV7005 is still an excellent pre/pro and combined with the MM7055 you are considering, you would be hard pressed to find an AVR that would match this combos performance for your $... | |
| Polk Audio "Those damn BMW speakers are way over priced, just like their cars. The speakers I have at home sound every bit as good.". You have to admit, its a possibility."Thanks for seeing my points ZD and I can see yours too. Nevertheless, I still advocate... | |
| Polk Audio I really didn't know who started the discussion about Best Buy ZD, but thanks for stepping up to the plate and admitting it.While I agree with you that sales personnel in the Mini-Magnolias probably don't have the expertise to properly system matc... | |
| Polk Audio Funny how a thread about Polk can morph into a discussion about Best Buy.But for the record, not all Best Buys have mini-Magnolia stores in them. In fact, most don't. And these "mini" Magnolias only carry limited high end brands and models. You wo... | |
| What is your preference, Records or CDs? My preference for critical listening is Vinyl. This is when I am in my favorite listening chair and just want to hear beautiful music and get lost in it. For convenience and to just hear some tunes while I am doing other things, then CD's the nod.... | |
| Speaker advice? I am a believer of finding a speaker you like and then looking for an amp that will properly drive it.Since you have only listed two speakers, I am assuming you have auditioned both. What are your opinions? Did you prefer one over the other but lo... | |
| New HT Receiver Perhaps I was not clear when I said AVR's with pre-outs are nolonger available at $500. They are - at the 50% discount that I alluded to in my above post when last years models get blown out. At list price they are around $1000. OK, maybe $900 - I... | |
| New HT Receiver If you haven't shopped for a new AVR in a while, then be warned that the mainstream brands are feature laden but sadly lacking in their power output sections. This is evidenced by their continued declining physical weight by using cheaper and smal... | |
| 802 diamonds with class d amp OK dude whatever. The OP comes on board asking questions about a fine pair of speakers he already has, B&W 802 Diamonds, and all you can do is slam them. But afterall, you have 15 years experience so you must be right. | |
| 802 diamonds with class d amp +1 Cyisone. Find the right sweet spot for proper placement of your speakers in your listening room and this will affect the depth and dimension of the sound field far more than the brand of amp being used. After hours of careful listening and minu... | |
| Speakers for newbie First, I am a believer that one should fix their sights on a pair of spekaers they love and then get the amp to properly match and drive those speakers.Unfortunately, you are doing it the other way as you already have the amp.If your heart is set ... |
