| Thiel 3.7 Placement I still like my 3.7s, and have had them for about 1 year. I have the backs of the 3.7s about 2 feet from the front wall, and no toe in. I find the distance to the front wall has a big impact on bass smoothness. I have tried toe-in, but didn't like... | |
| AudioEngine 2 vs AudioEngine5? I had the A2s and sent them back, vocals did not sound good to me. I bought the M-Audio AV40 -- bigger, but fantastic sound. | |
| Do I go active with my Linn 5140s ? All great advice on the 5140s. I had mine running active with 5105's, and the jump in quality is very large. I found the improvement to be across the board, and for me, the jump in quality of the voice was most noticable. I believe 5140's, active ... | |
| Analog vs Digital performance of Bryston SP2 Are you considering the level difference? On my SP2, the analog bypass playback level is above the level of digital. I have tried several CD players, and the level is difference is consistant (Linn 2.1, Marantz 9500). When I account for level diff... | |
| Linn AV5140 & 5120 advice 5140 and 5120 is a great combination, and would work well in your room. I have these speakers powered by Linn 5105 amplifiers. I use a pair of 5120's for the rears, you could also use Tukan's. | |
| Inbound wire transfer safety? Thanks, wire transfer in progress. | |
| meridian 861 or Theta Cas.III-which is better Klk,If you want great 2 channel plus great HT, and at the $$ level of Meridian/Cas., you should look at Linn Kinos/Kisto. I have the Kinos and can vouch for it's 2 channel capability as well as HT.Try them at home. | |
| Great music but poor recording recommendations. Almost anything by Nirvana, I really like to pull out something from these guys, but it can sound real bad. One exception is their MTV Unplugged album. | |
| Subwoofers that do both L/R & LFE simultaneously? Not sure why all subs do not work this way, but suspect it is a cost issue. The speaker level inputs on REL go into a switch selectable filter. Purpose is to fine tune the integration of speakers and room with the sub. It is not really a crossover... | |
| Which speaker is the master of IMAGING ???? Best imaging I have heard is the Thiel 7.2. I own them, so may be biased, but I keep looking to upgrade, and have not found anything that casts images like 7.2s. So what makes a speaker image well? | |
| Linn Akurate 242 Speakers, WOW Chris, I have the 242s, and agree with your comments, they are amazing speakers for the price. Don't forget the ability to upgrade over time by going active. Mine are active using Linn 5125 amps. | |
| Notice how many SACD collections for sale? I like SACD, and will not be selling any soon. I enjoy multi-channel the most, and the hi-rez aspect is a bonus. I think you need to commit to a full high quality multi-channel system before you experience what SACD and DVD-A have to offer. Don't ... | |
| Universal Player for under $3000 Marantz 9500 is very good, I own one. | |
| Linn AV 5103 5.1 input upgrades, anyone doing it?? I do not know of anyone who does an upgrade. I put my 5103 in a "bedroom" system, then upgraded everyday system to a Kinos. Analog is as good if not better, digital is significantly better, more functional, and 5.1 inputs, I am happy! | |
| Power for Thiel 7.2 A Bryston 14BSST works very well with mine. I have heard them at Thiel with the Krell 600, and they sound nice. Be careful on cables, some with network boxes that claim to enhance imagery, actually do so by boosting the top end. If you lower the v... |
