| Surround sound processor vs receiver Thanks. Yes it is a sweet setup. No I haven't looked at the Cary or Krell units as they're most likely out of my budget. But I'll take a peek on-line. Thanks. | |
| NAD C541 Tray Won't Open I believe the C541 player has not been manufactured for a number of years now. So I don't think it would still be in warranty. I agree that it would be safest to remove the top cover and carefully extract the disc. Then you can inspect to see if t... | |
| New to the game. Need some beginners advice. Buy or find in your library a book called, "The Complete Guide to High End Audio" by Robert Harley. It's an excellent resource you'll want to have on your coffee table. That's where mine is. On-line articles and reviews are great but nothing repla... | |
| on-line music vs CDs & SACDs Lloydelee21: Thanks for the excellent feedback. That clarifies a lot for me. Sounds like on-line downloading is still in its infancy especially high resolution audio. I guess I'm old fashioned but downloading music just seems like cheating even th... | |
| Upgrade from Rotel RCD-1072 Thanks all for the additional responses. Players in the $3K to $5K would simply not be in my budget with a senior in high school heading to college next year !! But would love to have one. Perhaps someday. Achilles, yes I was considering the NAD M... | |
| Upgrade from Rotel RCD-1072 Thanks folks. I get the consensus and that's kind of what I thought. The Rotel is a tough act to follow. I was thinking of the Rega Apollo. But you're right in that there's probably very little difference in performance.I'll most likely now look e... | |
| B&W PM1 While I don't have any experience with the PM1s, I do have all B&W, Rotel, NAD and Marantz components in my system. Rotel amps, AVRs, etc are well matched with all B&W loudspeakers but I would speculate that any of the higher end integrate... | |
| SACD Player I don't have any experience with the Marantz SA-1 but you asked what members would choose if they were to purchase an SACD player. I have two SACD players, the Marantz DV6001 (no longer produced) and NAD T535 (still produced) universal players. I ... | |
| Need to replace my Denon 2910, have $400? Marantz & Denon are owned by the same parent company, D&M Holdings, Mahwah, NJ-USA office. I believe Marantz is considered the higher end line. So yes to your question comparing the two (just my opinion). | |
| Need to replace my Denon 2910, have $400? Were you using the 2910 as a universal player for music and DVD video? If so and you want a brand new univ player with $400.00, you may have to purchase preowned. There are plenty here on Audiogon & Videogon. If you're looking for just a music... | |
| Expected life of a MC amp Thanks folks. Appreciate the feedback. Good stuff. Is there anyway to know if the amp is actually putting out its rated amps? Do you think over time as it gets older its output begins to diminish? | |
| Please help with choosing best combo for my CM-5's Yes I agree with Meiwan's comment regarding power. Not sure why you are looking for so much. The CM5s have a recommended amplifier power by B&W of between 30W and 120W into 8 ohms. The HK3490 is rated at a max of 120W/Channel into 8 ohms. So y... | |
| Help building a system with 1k budget Well if you retain the Bose speakers, I am sure you can purchase a 2 channel stereo integrated amp and a turntable for under $1K. Do you want to purchase all brand new or preowned here on Audiogon? How many watts/channel/8ohms are you looking for?... | |
| Surround speaker location for music? Your two surround sound speakers should be located slightly behind from where you normally sit and at your ear level. When I sit, the center of my ears are at appprox 45" from floor level. The center of my surrounds are also at 45" off the floor. ... | |
| Need speaker grill I need the entire grill. The plastic frame is cracked. I was hoping not to have to call the retail store where I purchased the speakers but it looks as though I may have to. |
