| DENON PMA - A100 vs NAD C375BEE Tough call - they are both very nice amps. You really can't go wrong with either. But if I had to choose, I probably would lean toward the Denon because of its sheer weight and two separate transformers. Also, it is a much more expensive amp curre... | |
| Home Theater Noob Looking to Upgrade As long as the speakers are 8 Ohm and have a sensitivity of 90 db or higher, your good. The Klipsch Reference your looking at are highly efficient and would work great too. Take at look at the impedence and sensitivity specs of the Klipsch models ... | |
| Home Theater Noob Looking to Upgrade Welcome and don't worry, we all have to start somewhere. You are heading in the right direction by pulling away from the HTIB systems like the all in one Panasonic and moving toward a AVR and separate speakers & subwoofer.From what I gather fr... | |
| Anthem AV receiver better than Denon as a preamp Of course, I had to use the internal amps in the AVRs Dtc. I also know the OP has a very nice Bryston. Try and find and dealer willing to rewire units and hook AVR's into a power amp for an audition. They would show you a 2 channel preamp instead ... | |
| Anthem AV receiver better than Denon as a preamp You are right Soix - many varibles must be taken to into account. Here are mine based on what I experienced. The AVR's were not in my system. They were lengthy auditions. Maybe some of the Anthem advocates in this thread are actual owners but I do... | |
| My old Avid 330's, sheepishly guilty pleasure Ahh, a thread about Avid speakers. Brings back good memoriesMy first "real" HIFI speakers were a pair of Avid 102's. Had them for 3-4 years until I replaced them with a pair of ADS L520's. I gave the 102's to my younger brother and I think they di... | |
| Anthem AV receiver better than Denon as a preamp Don't take my opinion about Anthems as gospel Dallyd. Most here seem to like them. I have heard the MRX line in 2 channel mode with no processing and simply wasn't impressed. They reminded me of mainstream AVR's I had before I bought a separate 2 ... | |
| Anthem AV receiver better than Denon as a preamp As this is your second post on the matter, we should all be very clear by now that you require an AVR that is also great at 2 channel stereo as well as HT. So I will definitely say on topic and talk AVR's only.From what I have heard, I don't think... | |
| marantz integrated I have seen the PM8004's sell for 1/2 of list new in a box too. More importantly, I have also heard them. It is an outstanding integrated amp at full price and an unbelieveable bargain at half.Consider its specs - built in the Marantz reference fa... | |
| Gone are the days of the great audition. I agree 100% Rok2id that uber high end manufacturers do not want their products too readily available. In this MP3 era where the vast majority of consumers do not even care to purchase entry level Polks, there is no mass market anymore for HIFI. S... | |
| Gone are the days of the great audition. And very soon even the Yellow Sign store may be gone too. What do we then? At least a subsidiary company of theirs that goes by the name of a certain flower brings some very good brands to market for people to audition. I bought my Viennas from th... | |
| Help for a rook... Welcome and don't worry, we all have to start somewhere.First thing for you to know is that pre/pro stands for Preamp/Processor. The "preamp" pertains to audio and the "processor" pertains to audio & video processing. Your Denon AVR2112 is a p... | |
| Mordaunt Short MS-100 or ADS L470 I can't comment on the Mordaunt Shorts but I do know ADS L series speakers. These were phenominal speakers in the 80's and still highly desired by many HIFI enthusiasts today. If they are in better cosmetic condition than the Mordaunts, then you a... | |
| MMF 2.2 - Mod vs. New Turntable Sorry but for $800 new, I don't think there is much out there significantly better than a modded MMF 2.2. Any table at this price range would be a lateral move at best. So consider upgrading the 2.2.You say it is stock so I am assuming you have th... | |
| Turntable setup under $2000? I do not believe his Exposure amp has a phono section unless he did get the optional phono card. If not, yes he will need to get a phono preamp and can consider getting the Exposure option through his delaer. Its about $500.WRT the table, I second... |
