| Is calibration services for DLP set worth it? Keep in mind that one of the most valuable tweeks an ISF calibrator can do for any set (DLP included) is to properly set the greyscale, which is usually accessible only through the service codes.. This is key in getting a great picture.In addition... | |
| Good musical sub under $500 Sorry, no offence to anyone who owns them, but IMO Rockets = "mid-fi". (Their reference line is much better and more musical.) They will "do" for home theater but I sure wouldn't want 'em for serious music listening. The Rockets are not especially... | |
| recomended musical sub for 2 channel audio The most musical sub for a reasonable price that I've heard is the one I own - the Nola Thunderbolt. The RELs are very good as well, but I'm happier for less $$ with my TB.The TB is fast, articulate and musical. Absolutely rave reviews from everyo... | |
| Best processor that is excellent for 2 Ch music We always seem to disagree...;-)For those who have the $$ and want to cut down on boxes the Cary is a very good sonic solution. (The pre section is not tubed BTW, although Cary is famous for their tubed pres and amps.) As I mentioned, I'm listenin... | |
| Sub Suggestions The Rockets are a nice value but they aren't in the same league for sound quality as your Ariels.A better match sonically would be something like used RELs, or used Nola Thunderbolts. These go plenty low for HT but are better than most for music a... | |
| Anyone use Audio Physic Avanti III? I really like the Avanti IIIs. Beautiful, musical speakers that play all kinds of music well. They need thoughtful positioning (what speakers don't?) and you need quality eletcronics in front of them to hear what they are capable of. They could be... | |
| Best processor that is excellent for 2 Ch music Flrnlamb, have you actually heard the Cary multi-channel pre-pros? The newest one, at 6k, it's a serious pice of audio gear (yes, "audio". Several of their earlier pre-pros are available reasonably and are very good sounding.No, I don't think they... | |

| speakers for wall bookcase Forgot...sorry...website with Minis reviews!www.nolaspeakers.com | |
| speakers for wall bookcase I listened to a bunch of "bookshelf" speakers before purchasing the Nola Minis (the lastest version of what used to be Alon Lil Rascasls). My main listening system includes large floorstanders and considerable time/investment in electronics so I'm... | |
| Best processor that is excellent for 2 Ch music I'm using an Arcam AVR300 which is pretty darned nice with an after market power cord.I also highly recommend Cary Audio HT separates - incredibly good sounding gear for music. It has the house sound of their high end 2 channel gear with the proce... | |
| Speaker suggestions for less than ideal accoustics I have a large room with a wall of glass (19x39x9) and have truly enjoyed my full range Alon V MkIIs in that room. The flooring is wool carpet over tile. I have drapes I can pull over the windows.I found dipoles sounded superb in this room. I woul... | |
| Speakers That Will Party Hard Try Nola Minis. They would probably work in corners since they're designed to be pretty flexible - they sound OK in an actual shelf or turned on their sides for centers so I don't think corners would be that bad (although obviously they aren't goi... | |
| Reimyo CDP The Reimyo would be worth to me, were I considering a purchase in this price range.Best CD sound I have ever heard.Brian@Essential Audio is a straight shooter. | |
