| Emotiva amplifiers review/experience? Whoops, I meant to say that the XPA-1 amp may be a different animal. | |
| Looking for a Nice Simple Good Sounding Preamp... Nad C165BEE is another option, and Parasound is coming out with the P5 this summer. | |
| Emotiva amplifiers review/experience? I had the XPA-3 for about 3 years and experienced what others have mentioned with the Enotiva house sound being somewhat forward and bright. In fact, I got actual sibilance on some recordings. I compared a Parasound A21 in the same system with the... | |
| Amp and pre-amp Marantz recently got bought out by the owners of Denon, and the Marantz processors are apparently versions of Denon AVRs. Not sure if that's an improvement, but there you are. Onkyo would certainly be another good option, as would the Integra vers... | |
| Amp and pre-amp Those 4 ohm Snells need good power. A Marantz processor, maybe the 7701. For an amp, Outlaw Audio 7200, and you'd have over a grand left over. Might want to get a dealer to install and set up the Marantz and have the 7200 on hand for him, these pr... | |
| Parasound Halo P7 There is a parasound owners thread on the avsforum site that has the impressions of a few such owners. I was looking for a 2 channel preamp solution and some suggested this model.But presently Parasound is on the verge of releasing a new 2 channel... | |
| I heard Emotive bought Bob Carvers tube company Bob Carver has not been associated with Carver for many moons. His tube amp company apparently wasn't particularly successful or he wouldn't have been looking to sell it.At any rate, here's my concern. Emotiva bought out Sherbourn, a previously ex... | |
| Emotiva XSP-1 Pre-amp You mean the XMC that was promised last June? It's still not released, and after re-promising it before the end of 2012(without room correction which would come separately later) Emotiva has been silent on a release date. I wouldn't go near it unt... | |
| Parasound Halo JC-1 factory capacitor change Seriously, you will probably get a response from the owner himself. | |
| can a new amp amp tame my speakers? In truth, there are probably many brands that would warm up your Kappas. Klaus sounds like a true fan of audio but also a good salesman(not knocking him). I am in a similar situation as you and I plan add to my Halo A21 a NAD pre-amp(known to be o... | |
| Marantz7005 or Denon AVP for movies only- Kr4, good points, the Marantz 8801 would be the best option as Denon does not make anything in current processors these days.Although I guess an option with Denon would be the AVR 4520i, which can do everything on your list as it is the receiver v... | |
| 3-ch amps vs. mono blocks vs. stereo amp + mono? A 3 channel amp would be the easiest solution as far as electrical outlets(one plug instead of 3) and space on a stand/rack. Monoblocks might offer the best performance, though with a good 3-channel you'd be hard pressed to hear a difference.It al... | |
| Parasound P5 I just noticed that Robinson mentions in that first link that the P5 will go for around 1000. Also didn't realize that the XLR inputs are fully balanced. With a release looming in the spring, I'm really interested. | |
| Your ONE all time favorite love song? Heroes, David Bowie, Can't Fight This Feeling, REO Speedwagon | |
| can a new amp amp tame my speakers? I'm not familiar with Peachtree, but that amp is Class D. In reading some of the previous posts, room treatments are good, but I think that high frequencies are less affected by room. That's why tweeters are usually recommended to be at ear level,... |
