| cleaning discs and players I use a product called "CD Clean-It Kit" by CD 2000, Inc, Palatine, IL. It's inexpensive yet recommended by one the local high end hi-fi stores here in central NJ (The Sound Exhange, Somerville, NJ) who also sells literally thousands of pre-owned ... | |
| A/V Receiver for B&W matrix speakers The SR-18 is an older surround sound receiver than the SR-8500. Both are discontinued products from Marantz. The SR-18 specs claim this unit puts out 140 watts RMS from all 5 channels into 8 ohms. The SR-8500 is rated at 125 watts x 7 channels int... | |
| A/V Receiver for B&W matrix speakers Marantz is actually a good match for some of B&W loudspeakers. My Hi-Fi high end audio store sells both. I'm using a relatively new Marantz A-V receiver with B&W DM603 S3's, HTM61 center, ASW600 sub, and two M-1's. No problem driving these... | |
| A/V Receiver for B&W matrix speakers Are you referring to the current B&W 800 series loudspeakers? I don't see the word Matrix used on their website anywhere. I searched for it though. NAD T754 lists for $1099.00 I believe. That's close. Marantz SR6001 sells for $999.00. | |
| Need technical explanation Wow. Both excellent replies. Thanks very much. I thought discreet must have meant separate power amps but wasn't sure. So a 7.1 A-V receiver (for example) then has 7 separate and distinct amplifiers. Kirkus, you must be a graduate electrical engin... | |
| Jackson Browne CD's Wow, all great replies and excellent information. Yes Leigh, "Late for the Sky" is right up there too, perhaps my 2nd favorite of early JB. But unfortunatley poor CD sound. Dodgealum: I just went to Joe Gastwirt's home page. Would I purchase these... | |
| Rotel RSX-1067 Thanks Flrnlamb. You're absolutely right about seperates but they're probably not in my future. I was just trying to get a consensus about Rotel sound vs say Marantz or NAD. I must have a receiver with guts, punch, and slam at the bottom end yet w... | |
| Jackson Browne CD's Thanks very much. I'll go take a listen. | |
| burned cd's Most if not all CD players and even DVD players read and play CD-R's (not CD-RW's) by now. But to be sure, read the specifications of the particular unit you're considering. These can be found at the websites of each manufacturer. I look at specs ... | |
| Acoustic Research AR-3 I had owned a pair of AR17's back in the 1980's and loved them. They were great for the time. But you must ask yourself: Are you restoring these older AR3's for the sake of nostalgia because they've been with you for many years or do you really wa... | |

| Which DVD/CD solution? I've heard nothing but folks raving about the Oppo DVD/CD player products. What did you want to spend and are you set on purchasing a preowned component or brand new? Marantz and NAD have some decent models for the price. | |
| B&W HTM-61 I have mine positioned horizontally directly underneath my 32" LCD TV. I have the TV sitting directly on top of it separated by a soft cloth. The TV (Sony Bravia 32" LCD, 37.5lbs)'s pedestal fits perfectly on top of the long side of the speaker wi... | |
| B&W HTM-61 Merlinus:Yes, horizontally directly underneath my LCD TV. Fits perfectly and looks great. While I can understand the reviewers concerns about it being a bit thick, I bought it to add more overall bass extension in my room so this works for me and ... |
