| Jolida integrated with remote and pre-outs? OK Almarg - so high-passing speakers is bad all around, or just high-passing them through the speaker terminals (passive crossover) is bad? What about high-passing through an active crossover, either on board the sub or through a separate componen... | |
| Jolida integrated with remote and pre-outs? Bob - I like SVS because their crossover point is 80Hz going back to the amp. Other subs that I have looked at (Velodyne DEQ series, for example) crossover at 120Hz back to the amp. I want the 685s working as hard as possible, so I think a lower c... | |
| Jolida integrated with remote and pre-outs? Bob_reynolds, what about high-passing the speakers using the speaker terminals on the powered sub? If the sub has two pairs of terminals, the signal goes through these terminals and then out to the speakers - certainly some subs out there have act... | |
| Jolida integrated with remote and pre-outs? Sfar, so I can connect both the speaker wires and wires for the sub to the same speaker terminals without hindering the sound? The jolida only has a single pair of speaker terminals. I have read that the high-level connection gives you better sync... | |
| A/B speaker switching - advantage? Regarding multi-room - the house we bought came with speaker terminals in the basement and the living room. I don't know what quality the wiring is in the wall though. There is also the problem of having my CD collection strewn throughout the hous... | |
| frequency response - B&W vs. Monitor Audio Bob_Reynolds, thanks again for another interesting equipment suggestion, will research it in the near future. Regarding surround sound, I won't be able to place a system in the living room for about a decade - kids are too young. So I was thinking... | |
| frequency response - B&W vs. Monitor Audio Jaxwired your point is well taken regarding the BR2s, and if I had done my homework before buying the B&Ws I may well have ended up with the MA RX2s. I think I am going to buy the powered sub and upgrade my amp as well; with a powered sub, wou... | |
| frequency response - B&W vs. Monitor Audio Thanks for all the posts, very interesting. My amp is a 15 year old Yamaha RX-485, I'm also running a 15 year old Yamaha CDP. I cannot decide if I want to upgrade the speakers or the electronics! Budget is about $1600. No one has mentioned anythin... | |
| Affordable integrated with balanced inputs? OK so no responses in 2 weeks - must mean that there are no integrated amps with balanced inputs cheaper than $1500. I have seen a few CA 840z V2's for sale (dealer demo) at audio advisor, priced somewhere around $1200, but that would be the best ... | |
| Krell goes to ipod and more... I already manage an iPod for business trips, and purchasing a digital dock for it makes more sense than managing two systems - iPod + Sonos, or iPod + Squeezebox, I will always need an iPod for business travel. The Wadia does come with a remote to... | |
| best solid state integrated to match with B&W 685s TXdog - that looks like a nice unit, and I know Denon has been manufacturing quality HT AVRs for years, but mine is not a multi-channel system, and I don't think it will become one. We should talk when I start building my HT system in the living r... | |
| best solid state integrated to match with B&W 685s Bob, I was reading that good transient response will help the sub sound more musical when used in a stereo music system, and that transient response is much more important with music than it is with HT. But I have also read that transient response... | |
| best solid state integrated to match with B&W 685s I heard some pretty incredible active ATC's in the showroom, but of course they were beyond even my wildest high-budget dreams. My Q3 bonus was pathetic, I will not make a purchase until after Q4. In the meantime, I will continue to research. If w... | |
| best solid state integrated to match with B&W 685s Bob_Reynolds, I am seriously considering trading in the 685s for a better speaker, instead of spending a lot of money on electronics and a nice sub to make the 685s sound better. I am trying to justify the $$$ that the ATC SCM series costs, they s... | |
| best solid state integrated to match with B&W 685s Great Knownothing, thanks. I think I read in my research of the Naim lines that they use a proprietary type of interconnect or speaker wire, or both. Do you know if this is true?There is a Cambridge dealer in my office building. He mostly does Cam... |
