| HELP WANTED Paradigm Monitor series pricing That does seem high, the monitor 7v2 is at least 11 years old, the others 8 or 9. I have the Monitor 7v3 and the 370v3, and though decent, I think you can do better than that price. | |
| Which used preamp for Halo A21, under $1,000? Daniel825, I think you are referring to the Parasound P3, not the P5. The P5 only just came out less than a month ago. It sounds like your experience was some time ago. The P3 was discontinued. | |
| Which used preamp for Halo A21, under $1,000? Parasound just released a new pre amp, the P5. If anything would sound good with a Parasound amp, you'd think a Parasound pre would. | |
| Which one Emotiva or Outlaw for HT What the hey? The UMC-1 certainly did not have a rich feature set, and neither does the UMC-200. The "1" was dogged with buggy issues for over a year after Emotiva promised a rock solid platform. The UMC-200 is better in that regard, but the room ... | |
| Best Audio Electronics for Paradigm S8v3 Speakers I've owned Anthem and Parasound Halo products, and beg to differ on the idea that Anthem is "much clearer" than Halo amps. I haven't found that to be the case at all, the Parasound amps are quite good, it doesn't hurt that they were designed by au... | |
| Marantz SR700 cost to repair too high... advice? I concur, good advice. If you are not in a hurry and okay with internet purchases, you could wait until black friday, Nov 29. I'm sure you could get a great deal then.Some options to look for on that day: Onkyo TX NR717(now discontinued model with... | |
| Emo dumps Carver, the Carver site is down. Emotiva is really losing credibility. They tanked with TacT. They tanked with Sherbourn, and now they've tanked with Carver. They said last summer, that was it. No more sales. Everybody can pay full price because our prices are so good. And now th... | |
| Parasound P5 Yeah, they make a matching cd player too, get all three! LOL | |
| Parasound P5 Any thoughts on why they would build the P5 to almost the exact same weight as the JC2 for only 1500? Was it another one of your contacts who told you this? Why was he so far off? I doubt Parasound would have started off with such a hefty unit and... | |
| Dac, Preamp or Dac/Pre I'll just throw out another model similar to the mPre. Parasound has a new pre amp with a built in DAC, the P5. Availability should be by the end of the month or so. It seems really well implemented, with bass management, a decent phono section, a... | |
| AV Receiver Help me narrow it down Yeah, it seems odd that you have to spend more to get a unit with pre outs when you won't use the amp section anyway!I think what has the biggest possible benefit on an avr is the room correction, and since you can now get the best Audyssey there ... | |
| AV Receiver Help me narrow it down Butrfly, one other thing that would come into play is the size of your theater room. But being that you have bookshelves that are 8 ohms, you should be in good shape unless they are unusually low efficiency, like 85db.Wanting pre outs(you'd need 7... | |
| Where's the talk/reviews on the Emotiva UMC-200? Bringing in other ID companies is misleading in this way. Emotiva has had no serious talent from other companies joining their company as was mentioned with Axiom, SVS, etc. They have also not had a blemish free record of an Oppo or Hsu Research. ... | |
| Parasound P5 Well, W4S did it at that price. Peachtree has a similar unit. Sure if you want to spend more you can get more performance, but everybody has their own budget comfort level I guess. BTW, the JC2 is 24 lbs, it seems kind of unusual that they'd build... | |
| Parasound P5 Good news, the Parasound P5 is up on the Parasound site. Apparently it can be pre-ordered, and it comes in black too. |
