| Benchmark or McIntosh.... @helomech Yes, need the headroom. 86/87db for the monitors. @james633 Very good info. I cross over at 80 or 90 or 100 (depending on the song - I have three profiles in the preamp that I can change on the fly.) I am going to give McIntosh mon... | |
| Benchmark or McIntosh.... @ditusa the 32s are not budget friendly. $22k+ a pop. There's always their 50 inch offering at almost $60k. And the unpriced (as far as I can see) 80 inch model... https://www.aia-cinema.com/products/subwoofers/the32-sub-pro-ps.html | |
| Benchmark or McIntosh.... @cundare2 I think most people on social media responded with the GIF from the original Back to the Future with Marty over a Doc's with the guitar. This tale tops that for sure. | |
| Benchmark or McIntosh.... Every amp I've had has been SS. Several Adcoms, Sunfires, Musical Fidelity, and the Wadia...which someone just bought, so I'll definitely have to do something and soon. @onhwy61 Yes, exactly. Pushing boundaries and the limits of this system. The... | |
| Benchmark or McIntosh.... @jasonbourne71 https://www.powersoundaudio.com/collections/subwoofers?filter.p.m.custom.woofer_size=21%22&filter.p.m.custom.woofer_size=21%22+IPAL @curiousjim Room is 22x12x7 give or take a few inches. @mm1tt77 100% agree on the McIntosh res... | |
| Benchmark or McIntosh.... @roxy54 @stereo5 thank you for the info. Definitely not wanting to do a Class A toaster in the room. | |
| Benchmark or McIntosh.... Not a joke @soix . Information gathering and real- world feedback before I plop the money down. Like it said heart wants one, brain says the other. Assuming that your are also looking at a picture of the room that is very old and nowhere near cu... | |
| Benchmark or McIntosh.... I'd probably lean towards detail, to be honest. Midrange would be nice. Bass I have handled (lol!) The monitors cross over at 80, 90, or 100hz depending on the song and setting. I like the size of the McIntosh and the look. They'll run warmer, ... | |
| Benchmark or McIntosh.... One each in the front Left and Right corner. One in the back of the theater, mid-wall. Two on the left mid-wall and two on the right mid-wall. Room is 22x12x7 in the basement on concrete foundation and it will vibrate the floor. | |
| Sony HAP-Z1ES file transfer BROKEN!!! Ran into the EXACT same issue. Hadn't uploaded new music for a couple years. Decided to download a couple HD Tracks albums and then rip two CDs. The two CDs took For Ev Er to transfer and then it erred. Same thing with the HD flies. Busted out a... | |
| 2000s Home Theater Could go 4k with the Panasonic UB9000 which has analog outs for sound and a separate output for video. If you don't need 4k, you could go with a higher-end unit like the Sony BDP S5000ES. That's a $2000 player you can pick up for a couple hundred ... | |
| SMX Cinema Solutions Screens are tough... it's worth what someone will give you for it. For example, I sold a Da-Lite 106" screen that retailed for around $1300 for $100. I had it listed for MONTHS before I finally got a buyer. I was glad to give it a new home and cle... | |
| Automatic Room Correction is better than the alternative. I tried ARC. I tried DSpeaker. I tried Audyssey's professional stuff. I even tried an old JBL/Rane Synthesis EQ. I disliked them all. I had an opportunity to try the Lyngdorf Room Perfect in the McIntosh unit, but passed on it, as I kinda gave up ... | |
| Lack of bass in NHT 3.3. I agree with the node suggestion above. I have NHT T6 towers (pretty much the 3.3's replacement) and the bass is not powerful unless you are in certain spots in the room. Being that they are tower speakers, they don't offer the placement flexibili... | |
| best low priced bookshelf speakers I'd match it up with a pair of used NHT 1.5's... Usually around $99-150 on ebay etc... |
