| Home Theater Separates for B&W - Advice Naw. Keep the quality across the board. I would stick to, yes, the Mac and/or Classe for your speakers. And, actually, I'd go with the most power you can afford. You'll also want to run those speakers as 80hz for movies, if it were my system. You'... | |
| What's the latest word on the Emotiva UMC-1? Ok, my perspective thus far:"The UMC-1 is a preamp (that includes bugs)...It does all the processing (with several bugs), but no amplifying (thank goodness, cause if it did offer amplification, it would undoubtedly have a few bugs mixed in). It ha... | |
| What's the latest word on the Emotiva UMC-1? So do they have all the bugs fixed/figured out yet, er what? That sure would be a shame if they finally got em all tied down and addressed, by the time all the technology becomes outdated and the unit's obsolete.But heck, they released the darn th... | |
| Help: processor upgrade from Aragon Soundstage You might look at the Sim Audio piece, or the Krells. If two channel and AV in one box is your desire, these will keep you in the same caliber or better from the Soundstage. I also had the Soundstage in my system before, as well as upgraded Acurus... | |
| What's the latest word on the Emotiva UMC-1? Old saying goes, "be anxious for nothing". If you absolutely must have it, you likely paid to much, didn't get the best deal, or had too many down-sides, likely. Seems to ring true here. I also presume the outsourced units have their share of issu... | |
| set speakers large or small? To expound a bit further - for all you 2 channel audiophile purists and full range stereo speaker devotees - yes, you're going to certainly get more perfect coherence running a full range speaker system, full range (and maybe adding minimal subwoo... | |
| set speakers large or small? Here's a professional and hobbiest experience with all this:I recommend that you should strongly consider doing what THX found works, and that's to cross over your passive speakers system at 80hz, and let the active sub handle the much more demand... | |
| Construction Question Lol! You've got to be kidding. You made it clear you wanted no outside assistance, and yet that's exactly what you did! Go figure. Did you even know what you wanted? I think you just wanted attention. Regardless, I hope it was everything "someone ... | |
| Rotel, no more DVD players? I'm with Gmood1, mainly. It's all going hardrive/media storage/streaming to be certain. Writing is on the wall.As for QUALITY media storage for hd movies and high quality dig music (sacd capable?). What's the hot ticket here? What's available righ... | |
| Help me spend some $$$$$ I'd go Denon with the Klipsch's. Also, consider that the Klipsch's will not sound as good sitting or listening off-axis! The horns are very directional, and focus sound. On-axis, with the right tonality and matching equip, they are very dyamnic as... | |
| Proceed AVP vs Denon AVP-A1HDCI & Krell S-1000 I'd be going with the Krell, having sold all those other brands over the years, compared the processors. And the HTS 5.1, AV standard, HTS 2, HTS 7.1 ref, and then S-1000/3000 are all excellent, super refined sounding pieces. You're not going to l... | |
| $300 for older Rotel/Outlaw or do something else? Well if you're going to end up with some 5.1 pre/pro with older tech, and you don't care about the new codec's, EQ's, video scaling, etc, then consider the following better, more refined 5.1 AV processors on the used market, from past years:Krell ... | |
| $300 for older Rotel/Outlaw or do something else? "Queefee's meandering pontification notwithstanding, your Rotel plus separate amps will give you much better clarity and dynamics than the receivers he recommended (at least, I think that's what he was trying to say)" (queefee)Um, OK. Whatever. I ... | |
| $300 for older Rotel/Outlaw or do something else? Yes, no HD codec processing via 1.3 - true. Another strong point is you're very likely (depending on room, setup, and acoustical factors) going to have to live with peaky lower fidelity sound, that will likely have you diving for the volume contro... | |
| How to best use Magnepan MMG in 2ch/5.1 system? I would stick with one - maybe two at most - seat setup for HT/music dubties. A lot here, being critical, depends on your room layout vs setup for proper seating. If it's just one listener, you'll get the maximum sound quality in regard to tonalit... |
