From the reviews it appears that the Concert 8/D830 sound great in some systems, but others find them too bright. Is the brightness your issue?If... | |
| component video question? Even though my HT reciever does have component switching, I don't use it. Quality component video cables are relitively expensive. Why would anyone want to spend twice as much money (2 cables required to use receiver switching) and potentially get... | |
| Does something happen when speakers face each othe Eldartford,You may be correct in your experience, but an out-of phase pair of speakers that face each other (especially if close together) will cancel all of the duplicate information, leaving only the "difference" information.Placing speakers out... | |
| Does something happen when speakers face each othe Yes, if one or more of the speakers is "out of phase", it will cancel out a lot of the sound.

| Theta Miles vs Resolution Audio CD 50 T-mlb,I have not compared those two, but I thought I would offer my observation concerning the Theta. I have previously owned the balance version of the Theta Miles. According to Theta and most Audio Forums, the balanced version has superior sound... | |
| Passive intergrated Amps Many of the affordable integrated amps today are actually passive. However, they do have lots of inputs that you don't need for your configuration. A good example is the Plinius 8100/8150/8200. BTW, a used 8100 at around $1000 US is a GREAT unit.C... | |

| Did I do ok? Jond,You may want to check your source of information again. This "deal" sounded too good to be true, so I did a bit of investigating. I do not see any mention of SACD or DVD-A playback for the DVSP300 or DVPS300. I did see it listed as a progress... | |

| Is adding a power amp to an A/V receiver worth it? OK, I'll take the opposing view. You are correct, some of your current equipment is is a different league. You already have some of the building blocks for an EXCELLENT music system. I think you would be better served if you continue to build on t... | |
