| 25,000 for the home theater Is this $ 25,000 USD for both audio and video, or do we get to vicariously spend your $ on just audio? | |
| Best Solid State Amp For 10k Or Less Rowlands for a musical SS sound, (Cornfedboy is right!), or at least audition some tubes-ARC VT100's, VT200's come to mind. I have heard Rowlands and they have done a great job with even Apogees- your Dynaudios will be a breeze. I have heard Dynau... | |
| Complete system for 10k (Audio+video) Angela, if you mean a 16x9 format, that is the exact Mitsubishi I spec'd(and own). Only the Pioneer Elite, andsome real highe-end Loew's etc. are better, for a lot more $. Just for kicks, I actually put together a system, audio and video, out of c... | |
| Do the Audio gods shine upon you? You are not nuts, slowhand, nor are you apparently alone.Recently I played both my Buena Vista Social Club and mySnatana Supernatural CD's and even my wife commented from the other room that something was missing that had been there the last time ... | |
| Complete system for 10k (Audio+video) A good challenge, indeed. The hardest part, cost-wise is the video. Some ideas:Mitsubishi Diamond 55" HDTV ready for around $ 4,500 new.Yamaha DSP-A1 integrated amp used for $ 1300. (110x5, 35 x2)DD,DTS,etc.Adcom GFA-6000 5 channel amp. (100x3, 60... | |
| TV Options Terrifying Me. Please Help. Check out Mitsubishi's Diamond Series rear projection TV's-not small,but good WAF, and the best picture for around$ 4-5,000, especially on DVD's. Pioneer Pro series will runyou a few grand more than that, and is only a hair better.The advantage is... | |
| WAF (Wife Acceptance Factor)and Speakers Yes, grilles make a difference! On some speakers more than others, as some are engineered for sound with the grilles on(very few), and the actual fabric used may or may not be acoustically transparent. If the grilles are not detachable, then make ... | |
| Hsu Vt-12 vs. Sunfire Jr. vs. ACI Quake I can only speak about mating the Sunfire Jr. - it is very fast & natural as subs go, and will probably mate well. I have heard it enough to give it the nod over the HSU, which is not quite in its class,(although a good value) but I am not fam... | |
| Best Audio Related Story (or joke). In my younger days, I was playing keyboards and had just acquired a setup that included a huge Sun cabinet with an 18" woofer to handle the lower range of the keyboard, the middle and top being handled by two Cerwin Vega 12" professional monitors(... | |
| Best very small Speakers (at any price)? Mirage makes some speakers in that size range -I have a pair for my bedroom set. Not too bad driven by a classic NAD receiver. Plus they are affordable($ 350/pr 5 years ago). Warmish, forgiving sound, good bass for their size. Not the last word in... | |
| The BEST system you've ever built !!!! I have built a number of systems, each of which had their strong points. My first system in 1974 was actually scary good, especially on a cost basis. I had a Philips GA212 table with a Shure Type III playing through a Sherwood 8900 receiver(60 w/c... | |
| Best CD Player for under $750? Try to listen to the Jolida CD players - tube sound for well under your range, especially used. Of course, try to hear the Rega and Rotel as well. Just for kicks, you might even see if you can find a Sherwood Newcastle, just to see what those Burr... |
