| Calling all MC275 MK IV owners.............. Thanks for your answers. I think I will just relax now. The rest of my system is:B&W Nautilus 804 (MC275 will drive these), HTM2 center and a pair of SCM1s.I'm using the MIT Magnum 3 for the fronts and cheapo wire for the rears.All hooked into... | |
| McIntosh vs Classe Multichannel System I personally went with the MVP851 over the 861 because the 851 upsamples on the CD end whereas the 861 does not. Unless you listen to a lot of SACDs, I would go with the 851. | |
| Best component video cable under $150? I tried about 6 different comonent video cables at all price points and experienced little if any differences. Based on this, I concluded that video cables were video cables and they were all the same so why waste money. Then my dealer told me to ... | |
| Advice for a tube newbie: McIntosh MC275 Thank you for your responses. I'm going to go for option 1 right now then if I decide that tubes are as great as they are made out to be, I'm going to option 4. | |
| Need speaker cables for HT System I'm using the DV-12S1, BW Nautilus 804s, HTM2 center, Gallo micros rear (don't ask), through a Krell HTS and KAV-1500. I am using double runs of the Synergistic Research Signature 2 cable which helps to "warm" up my Krells. Good luck. | |

I am using a Purist component video cable directly into my 30" Aquos LCD tv and the clarity and color saturation are jaw-droppin... | |
| Component video cable? I am a audio cable freak, but never believed in them for video. Then my dealer recommended trying the Purist component cable and it was extraordinary. The color saturation and detail were astonishing. I had tried the Synergist Research "Line Doubl... | |
| Synergistic 'line doubler' component video good? Just got the Purist component video cable. Brand new and not broken in. FANTASTIC. NO comparison. Depth of detail and color is astonishing. I was never a believer in video cables but now, I'm a convert. | |
| New Krell black finish for KAV line I saw the Showcase pre/pro processor in black. Frankly it looks just like a Marantz SR-18EX or 19. | |
| Synergistic 'line doubler' component video good? I got it and returned it. I had used a mid-priced Straightwire but decided to "blow" for these. I saw no improvement in picture quality and the colors became too intense in the reds and too washed out in the blues . You can adjust for these of cou... | |
| Picking the right amp... I would go for the Krell (I did). At 300 watts into 8 ohms, you can drive anything with plenty of power left over. You can also bridge the amp and turn it into a 2 channel or by bridging 4 channels it can become a monster 1100 watts! In other word... |
