| 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... | |
| Dynaudio Anniversary 25 Jake, it can be difficult to make the right choice when the salesman is biased. As you said, they will be loyal to their own brands. My advice would be to listen to a number of speakers on your own, and purchase from a hi end store. They will usua... | |
| Speakers that have holographic imaging on vocals.. try listening to music in mono. good imaging is in the mix done at the studio, if it wasn't in the recording it won't be in the speakers, cd player or amp no matter how much money you spend. | |
| Biggest Sound in the Littliest Box what are you using as for an amp? The 3.3's will sound huge when you throw enough power at them. | |
| 5.1 vs 3 channel??? turn down the rear speakers to a level so that they are only noticed when they are off as opposed to when they are on, much like a subwoofer. otherwise the soundfeild will have a rearward bias. you'll know when you have it right because the soundf... | |
| Dynaudio Contours with Conrad Johnson 2500a I've always thought Conrad Johnson was better known for their tube gear rather then solid state. Dynaudio's love juice, especially if you have a large room. Look into big amps by Classe, Krell and Pass Labs. I would snag that Classe Ca-300 on this... | |
| Is 5.1 Really This Bad? Bomarc, i think your negative experience has more to do with the fact that you probably invested alot of time and money into a fine sounding 2channel system and feel threatend by a 'low-end' (i hate that term) multi channel setup that had certain ... | |
| Time to replace speakers, suggestions wanted If those are dynaudio drivers you can read off the numbers and they can send you a matched replacement, without having to get a pair. On the other hand, if the damage is due to age the other will probably go soon anyway. | |
| Sunfire Signature/SVS Subs and integration If you can stand the way they look the SVS subs are probably the best buy in bass. If looks are a concern then sunfire is the way to go, you can't complain if you can't see it. For me, even though a svs ultra might be a better sub, but it's not wo... | |
| An odd idea Unless you feel your system is lacking in dynamics or sounds like it's straining at your listening levels, you might not want to replace the amp just yet. There are a bunch of tweeks you can to to the typical H/T setup to improve performance. The ... | |
| Amplification for Denon 3802 for 2-ch listening If I were you I would look into the B&K av5000. It's a sweet 5ch amp that should mate well with your B&W speakers, and when you are ready, you can upgrade to a stand alone preamp. I saw one on this sight for 600 used. Spending 1200 on a 2c... |
