| How Important is the receiver vs separates in HT? Lexicon's Logic 7 does not use 7 discrete channels, rather it takes a 2 channel source and mixes to create 7, if that's what you like fine, but i'd rather use a discrete format like dolby digital-ex or dts-es. It seems like every AV preamp has its... | |
| Minimonitor Choice: Proac 1sc vs. Totem Model 1s You should check out the dynaudio contour 1.1's or the 1.3's. (the 1.3's have a fuller bass, but i only heard the 1.1's which i loved) wonderful soundstage, never bright or forward, just great music with just about everything i threw at them. Comp... | |
| Subwoofer slam vs boom wait a minute did you say 25k in gear? what kind of system do you have? there is noo way you can have bad bass in that neighborhood, well maybe if you lived in yellowstone. Anyway I'm 26 also, i use dynaudio contour speakers and have a harmon/kard... | |
| Subwoofer slam vs boom Hmmm i don't think you'll need an icbm, your preamp seems to have the right features. That whack in the chest feeling you are looking for occurs in the 70-80hz area. Real bass below 30 is felt in the bones more then it is heard. I'll bet your frie... | |
| Subwoofer slam vs boom The reason you have sloppy bass is probably the fact that you have so many different drivers trying to move air at low frequencies. When it comes to tight bass less is sometimes more. The less things you ask of each component, the better they can ... | |
| Dynaudio 25th anniversary speakers sounds awesome, someone please write a review if you go to the show... I'm sure there are many others dieing to know what they are like | |
| Question 5000 for amp, proc'r & speakers for HT Looking at this situation again, i don't think dynaudio is a good idea. If you are stuck with the rotel, there is no way it would be able to handle the dynaudio's (they need too much juice), but you should look into the b&w cm series. They cos... | |
| Question 5000 for amp, proc'r & speakers for HT go with the outlaw audio's new pre/pro and amp combo- loads of power and every HT option all for 2100. I second the call on the dynaudio speakers- but you may want to opt for two pairs of 1.1's with the contour center and get a hsu research vtf-2 ... | |
| Review: Dynaudio Contour 1.8 mkII Speaker I've owned the 1.8's for over two years now and couldn't disagree more. To get the type of sound you heard out them you must have had a bad setup or something, or maybe they were damaged. The 1.8's are one of the most natural speakers I have ever ... | |
| 2000 or less : best choices for mains? It sounds like you have a H/T setup, so you will need to stay with paradigm or consider replacing all 5 speakers. However I don't think the problem is the speakers, it's your reciever. 70 watts is not enough for the studio 40's. You will find they... | |
| Anyone recommend the best small speakers for cheap First try to find out if you like metal tweeters or soft domes, as they sound very different. In the metal camp try the B&W 303 as mentioned earlier, and if you can spend a little more the Paradigm Studio 20 can be found for about 500 used. Fo... | |
| Why is 2 Channel better than multi-channel? It all depends upon the room and your listening position. In just about any shaped room you can adjust your system for an optimum spot. A properly configured 2ch system can create a lifelike 3d image but only in an area between the front two speak... | |
| Whats the deal with CD players? Since my first post, i picked up some inexpensive audio research interconnects and a used rotel 965bx cd player, and i am quite pleased with the results. Firstly, freebie interconnects should be thrown out, my cheap AR's made everything a bit clea... | |
| Whats the deal with CD players? There are a bunch of good ideas here, i might try some better interconnects, but i remain skeptical on how improved conductance will help over such a short distance, especially considering the innards of my components will not be nearly as good as... |
