| dynaudio or M & k for home theater The reason wilson sounds like dynaudio is b/c wilson uses dynaudio drivers. I use the 1.8's and contour center up front and the integration is seemless. I don't know what keithr is talking about, the quality and craftsmanship of the center channel... | |
| How much can low-fi subwoofer bring down a system? I use a phase tech power 10 100 watt sub to help out my dynaudio 1.8's when watching movies only. The 1.8's actually go lower but i use the sub to add a bit of oomph in the 35-55 area. I have the hi frequency crossover set to 65 and the gain turne... | |
| Dynaudio and Nikko, a good match? 100db out of bookshelf speakers is pretty loud, you should be fine on power. | |
| home theater help Sunfire probably makes the most 'tube-like' hometheater gear, and they just recently came out with an all in one reciever. I'd pick that up and save a ton of $$$ since 2ch seems your main priority. | |
| HELP Why no bass? Why bright? one last thing, if you do move to the wharfedale keep your DH labs silver cables, a bright cable will be a good fit with a laid back speaker like these. | |
| HELP Why no bass? Why bright? Ok, looking at your current equipment and needs I'd recommend the Wharfedale Pacific Evo 300. It's Bi-wireable so you can bi-amp, has a soft dome tweeter so no harsh brightness, and has tight defined bass. It's also a damn good looking speaker IMH... | |
| Arcam FMJ P-35 3 Ch for HT ? Opinions please. I've read many good things about bryston though I have never actually listened to one. It's strengths tend towards bass and the only complaints I've read about are a slight forward nature. Assuming you are still using the MA 8i's and PS audio amp ... | |
| Dynaudio and Nikko, a good match? I've got the dynaudio 42's mated to the NAD 340 and it's a very punchy combo indeed, and might be just the sound you are looking for. The 52's might even be better since it uses a larger woofer and cabinet. I don't know much about the Nikko amp bu... | |
| Arcam FMJ P-35 3 Ch for HT ? Opinions please. Per Joe Hagman from Home Theater Magazine, B&K is great with Monitor Audio. You should try to get a good fit with the center since it's the most important. I think the ST-125.3 and the reference 200.3 are their current 3 channel amps. If you a... | |
| HELP Why no bass? Why bright? B&W makes bright speakers, the arcam 65 is a bit laid back and was probably covering up for them. I think you have the right idea on the bass being more controlled or perhaps the brightness is just distracting you. I'd switch to speakers that ... | |
| Musical Fidelity amp for Paradigm Studio 100 I'd stay away from thier HT600 and HTP processor. I forget where, but I read a pretty scary review on them. Apparently other then a very nice box the insides are pretty anemic and of poor build quality. Apparently they are made by another company ... | |
| Speakers Stick with dynaudio if you like the sound. No sense in making a 5k speaker decision based on an 80watt amp you plan on replacing. I use a 100 watt amp (which I will also upgrade one day) with my 1.8's and it works fine. I've even hooked them up to... | |
| Dynaudio Contours or Monitor Audio for HT I'm using the HK sig pro/amp combo. It gets the job done well enough 100x5 or 150 into 4, but i'd like to step up to somthing in the 300+ watts/channel neighborhood and see what the dyn's can really do. I'd say my system is on the laid back side, ... | |
| Denon 3802 + 5ch.amp or Sunfire Ultmate Receiver get the sunfire receiver, why would you want to use the denon as a preamp, especially when you can still return it? either that or go with used separates | |
| Dynaudio Contours or Monitor Audio for HT Wow, I have almost the same system, I'm using the dynaudio 1.8's up front with the center and the 42's on stands in the rear! Absolutely wonderful for both music and movies. Comparing them to my friends Monitor audio silver system, I would say the... |
