| ARCAM AVR600 Reliability Issues I'm probably a bit late to the party here, but I own an A/V integration company in Atlanta and sell a lot of Arcam products, so I thought I'd chime in to share my experiences with the brand. To start off with, I'll just cut right to it: the AVR600... | |
| Need a new preamp - child destroyed Proceed AVP Hi Vermontmts,Sorry for the delay in getting back with you - this past week has been a busy one. If you're trying to stay on the lower end of your budget, the Yamaha CX-A5100 is a very respectable processor (11.2 Atmos, DTS-X, etc.), and is on sa... | |
| What to do Yamaha DSP A3090 Hi BumbaAudio,I don't think you'd be disappointed with any of these, but I'd say your best bet is going to be the Denon, though the Yamaha is a great value at $2199. Have you considered Arcam? The AVR550 is just a bit more than the Denon and has a... | |
| Good Receivers for Infinity Kappa 7.1 speakers Hi Luis,Sorry for the delay in response - we've been slammed this past week. In that price range, your best bet would probably be either the Yamaha Aventage RX-A860 (msrp $999) or the Onkyo TX-NR757 (msrp $799). I'll send you a PM with our contact... | |
| Need a new preamp - child destroyed Proceed AVP @vermontmts,What's your budget? Since that's going to largely dictate what your options are, that's probably the best place to start. Once I know that, I can make some recommendations for you.Take care,-David | |
| Please help a rookie –used amps for magnepan 3.7? Hi Partel,I sent you a PM with some suggestions. Let me know if we can be of further assistance.Kind regards,-David | |
| Class D Technology @erik_squires and @noble100 ,I'm glad you both have found systems that you are happy with, and you are certainly correct in that there are some great Class D options available on the market - I do not believe I stated anywhere in my post that Clas... | |
| Good Receivers for Infinity Kappa 7.1 speakers @luis1216,What type of budget are you working with? AVR’s can vary from as little as $279 for Denon’s entry level AVR-S510BT all the way up to $6000 for Arcam’s flagship AVR850. Once I know that, I can make some recommendations for you.Take care,-... | |
| To power condition or not to power condition AVR @knownothing ,I understand your concerns now. And to answer your question, yes, there is a trade-off. See, if you were using a separates configuration, you would want to run the amplifier into one of the lower filtration high-current banks to prev... | |
| To power condition or not to power condition AVR @akg_ca I agree that AVR’s in general are engineered to a lower standard than a typical "separates" configuration, but to make such a blanket statement that "99.9 % of AVR’s are Chi-Fi garbage" is both incredibly arrogant and demonstrably false. M... | |
| Class D Technology I’m not sure if anyone has covered this (I didn’t read all 8 pages), but if one is chasing greater efficiency than Class A without sacrificing as much fidelity as Class D tends to do, Class G and H amplifier tech would seem to be the best choice. ... | |
| Power Conditioners? Hi Jim,There are a lot of options on the market from the likes of Furman, Panamax, APC, AudioQuest, Shunyata, etc., so it really just depends on what your budget is and how demanding your system requirements are. It sounds like you are already in ... | |
| Class A/B Home THeater Receivers Hi Bruce,There are plenty of great Class A/B AVR's with HDMI inputs, as well as all the latest codecs and features (Dolby Atmos, DTS-X, HDCP2.2 for 4K and HDR support, etc.), from manufacturers like Denon, Marantz, Yamaha, as well as more high t... | |
| In wall vs regular speakers? If you're tight on space, in-wall speakers can be a good option, but I'd recommend getting sealed units that have their own enclosure. This is essentially like placing a shallow bookshelf speaker inside the wall, and will give far better acoustics... | |
| 24 fps or off? 24p support has to do with maintaining the source material of film, as most films are shot in 24fps. Depending on the display in question (LCD, plasma, OLED, etc.), this format will either be left in 24fps, get up-sampled in multiples of 2-3 (48-7... |
