| what amp under a grand? From what I've read, neither component has the balanced design, but the connects are in case of noise from long runs, etc. That said though, the XLR's are hotter by around 6 db's, so you'll get more volume without cranking it up. I've been meaning... | |
| Your most disappointing purchase or audition? Tpair, you said, "Oppo 95 Replaced Theta Miles."I'm not sure what you meant by that. Did the Oppo replace the Theta as the worst purchase, or did you have to replace the Theta, your worst purchase, with the Oppo?And a general comment, some of the ... | |
| what amp under a grand? You simply can't go wrong with the A21, and if you're like me, you'd always wonder about the A21 if you opted for the A23! You've got a stellar combo, congrats. | |
| Emotiva XPA - 1 mono blocks. Hopefully it turned out good for you, I'm certain you'll never need more power! | |
| what amp under a grand? I really don't think you can go wrong with the A23. I don't use the 250 watts, I can tell you that. I don't want to steer you wrong, the A21 is the better amp, but I think the speakers and pre have much to do with the sound quality. After you get ... | |
| what amp under a grand? Hey Jughead, so you do have the Paraound 2100 and 2250 right now? And you're considering either the A21 or A23 with the P5?I've got the P7, pretty close apparently to the P5, and the A21. My speakers are Paradigm Signature S6, 4 drivers including ... | |
| moving on from Emotiva UMC-200 pre/processor One can prefer whatever preferences one has, but the Emotiva UMC-200 does not best the Oppo 105. It sounds like you've been buying and selling components frequently. I advise slowing down. Don't buy the XMC just because it's being released. Give i... | |
| Morrow Audio Cables Their cables are made up of small gauge copper plated with silver. I think the 2 metals need more break in than what is typical. | |
| emotiva mono block amps any good? My point is, people looking to get that last 5% percent out of their system will not be helped by buying Emotiva. Personally I'd suggest even 10% percent, but I used 5 to be conservative. Certainly there are systems that need more help than that, ... | |
| moving on from Emotiva UMC-200 pre/processor A brand new processor from Emotiva? A little bit on the risky side, and he'd have to keep the UMC-200 to get the discount, so he'd still be out of pocket 2 grand. Plus, the XMC doesn't have the Dirac room correction yet, so for 2000 or 1500, there... | |
| emotiva mono block amps any good? Mitch4tDo an Emotiva search on the Members Systems section here on Audiogon and you will find satisfied members pairing Emotiva successfully with respected names like Audio Research, Wilson, Pass Labs, Zu, Revel, Von Schweikert, Magnepan, Tekton, ... | |
| Emotiva XPA - 1 mono blocks. I have no experience with the XPA-1, I had the XPA-3, which is a different animal and on par with the XPA-5. I owned it for 3 years paired with their XDA-1 as preamp. I was never completely happy and couldn't figure out why, mind you it was my fir... | |
| Morrow Audio Cables I'd had good success with their cables too, though they're not the only ones out there. The solid core based cable really does make a difference though. | |
| emotiva mono block amps any good? Fear? Hardly. Emotiva makes budget amps and crappy processors. I've owned 3 of their products, and couldn't understand why I'd get listener fatigue with an amp, preamp and cd player all from emotiva. Finally I tried an old Denon theater receiver, ... | |
| Player With A Killer Blu Ray Picture The viewing device is going to have more to say on how good the image quality is. The small differences between one good blu ray player and another won't really matter in comparison. |
