| Stillpoints Ultra6 reference vibration controlers? Mewsickbuff,I don't know if you are addressing your question to me? I can't tell you if the pl200 are steps in the right direction, only your ears can decide. | |
| Stillpoints Ultra6 reference vibration controlers? A few years ago I listened to Monitor Audio PL200 and PL300 series I. I didn't think they were horrible, but I didn't prefer their sound.

| Adding Center Channel What is the right way to connect it? | |
| Adding Center Channel The Marantz is used to drive only the center channel and isn't connected to my preamp. I had it connected as follows: from projector to Marantz via HDMI, from Marantz to Oppo via HDMI, Oppo to my preamp via Optical cable. My DAC is connected to my... | |
| Adding Center Channel My preamp has HT bypass. The Oppo is connected to my DAC via an Optical cable | |
| Adding Center Channel Adjusting the audio delay settings didn't help. According to Marantz and Oppo's tech support the problem is because I'm using two different amps. One to drive the main speakers and one for the center. | |
| Equipment Rack Thanks to everyone for their comments. I've decided not to purchase anything. After what I've already spent, it may not be logical, but I can't spend 3-5K(or more) on equipment/speaker stands. I'm done! |
