| Speakers for Musical Fidelity M3i Nine out of ten times its the room. Then speaker placement relative to the listening position in the room. You have now said two different speakers sound bright to you so I doubt very much if its the amp.I can make my Vienna Bach Grands sounds dar... | |
| Topnotch BluRay Concert..... We better add another - Eagle Farewell 1 Tour-Live from Melbourne, finally available on Blu-ray.Just watched it last night in its entirety, all 30 tracks. Had seen it before on HD-DVD but that disc was lossy Dolby. This one is uncompressed DTS Mas... | |
| Musical Fidelity - Silver finish faceplates Never use tissue or paper based cloths for dusting. Too abrasive and will scratch.One word - Microfiber! I use it for everything - Plasma Glass Displays, all my compoents and even light dusting of my speakers (without wax or polish of course). | |
| 3-ch amps vs. mono blocks vs. stereo amp + mono? First, smart to only amplify only the front three channels. But to give you a meaningful answer, far more information is required. Such as what room is available for additional components, your budget and finally what kind of speakers you have. Do... | |
| Advice needed Please, To Fix Or Not To Fix? I will be brutally honest with you and tell you now. Don't repair it. Your AVR is not worth the price of the repairs. The repairman probably knows this too but is hoping you say yes. Its a job for him as no one ever repairs electronics unless they... | |
| Recommendation on soft dome bookshelfs under $1K Used mid to high end speakers at 1K a pair should not be a problem. Take a look at the Dynaudio X16 or Vienna Acoustics Haydn Grands. Both have soft dome tweeters and 6.5' drivers and could be found used at or around 1K. Very musical. They are 4 O... | |
| Is the marantz SR7007 a good receiver? Oj, the Marantz SR7007 is a fine top of the line AVR. It should be a great pick with the PSB T-2's that are average in sensitivity and impedence. But like most mainstream AVR's, has its limitations in power output as some have pointed out. So a lo... | |
| Speakers for MA6300 You have a very nice amp and it will have no problem driving just about anything that is out there. And there is a lot out there. So it is up to you to figure out what sounds best to you. Sonus Fabers and the larger Spendors are nice speakers. So ... | |
| Home Theater Noob Pairing New Speakers with AVR Welcome back Golfluvr. Sounds like your looking at a better AVR now. There are many to choose from at your budget of no more than $1500; preferably less. As you were advised in your earlier thread - just make sure whatever you buy has a full set o... | |
| Which would be a better surround processor. Thats assuming he has an Oppo 105 Dbphd. Or any BDP with built in decoders and multi-channel analog outputs. We do not even know what he has for a source. He doesn't tell us.Since he asked about two now fairly obsolete pre/pros and which to use, I... | |
| Vienna Acoutics New Bach Grand for $1200 Congrats on buying the Mozarts SE's and going with Viennas!I am sure you'll be very happy. Whether they are worth twice the cost of the Bachs, only you can be the judge of that. | |
| Vienna Acoutics New Bach Grand for $1200 Very tough call. both are well respected with the same specs - 4 ohm, 90 db sensitivity. So the same amp can probably be used for both.Count me as a Vienna Acoustics advocate though because I have a pair of Bach Grands in my main system. I am stil... | |
| Should I Use an AVR for 2-Channel Home Theater Some do. Most don't. I agree with Meiwan and go the 2 channel integrated amp route.First, your not really paying for extra channels in an AVR as most of the R&D and parts costs go into features like video processing, room correction, etc. Not ... | |
| Which would be a better surround processor. Please don't take this the wrong way. I am sure in their day, they were both fine processors. But they do not have HDMI nor will they decode the latest Lossless formats - Dolby True HD and DTS Master. So I would say use the one that at least has 5... | |
| Home Theater Noob Looking to Upgrade Correct, too little power will burn out speakers a lot more than too much. Because all amps will generate more than their stated output of watts but with distortion. Its called driving the amplifier into "clipping" and it is this "clipped" power o... |
