What is your take on Def Tech XTR60's?
So you have just a Denon receiver driving your DT's...That seems to be the limiting factor for the speakers from what others like Robert who has DT towers have said. A better setup with these DT speakers would be a pre/pro and amp capable of drivi... 
What is your take on Def Tech XTR60's?
I appreciate your opinion Audiofreak but Ill decide for myself if that is the case for my ears once I get a proper pre/pro and amp hooked up to it. I am at a learning curve now and Ive from a few Audiophiles, on here and off, that say other wise. ... 
What is your take on Def Tech XTR60's?
As usual thanks Robert. You are right. Right tool for the right job. What would you recommend I get for a pre/pro and amp? Doubt I could swing both a Manley tube amp and pre/pro at the same time right now. Just dont have the budget for it...yet. 
Recomendations for pairing AVR with Amp
Oh KR4 my speakers are DT Mythos XTR-60's for front left/right and center, and the left and right surrounds are Mythos Gems... 
Recomendations for pairing AVR with Amp
My fault. Im new to the audiophile game. I thought the AV 7005 was a receiver. Ok so then I dont need a receiver then since the processor can do the same thing sans the tuner part of a receiver right?Ignore everything else I said as obviously I di... 
What is your take on Def Tech XTR60's?
Thanks for that Bondmanp. Yes the highs are piercing and brite as you say. It does overpower the midrange. Im currently looking to see what the best amp/reciever combo I can find. Im looking into the Marantz av 7005 since it has balanced preouts a... 
What is your take on Def Tech XTR60's?
I have a studio apt so I cant add too much audio equipment as room is limited. My a/v equipment is stuffed in one of my closets. Hence why I was looking at replacing the receiver and not adding too much bulk. I will add the amp to the receiver as ... 
What is your take on Def Tech XTR60's?
Wow. Just looked at the Emotiva XPA-5 along with the UMC1. The Marantz I was going to buy would have costed me $1600. For less than that I can get these two Emotiva units and have even better power output and clarity. Thank you for suggesting this... 
What is your take on Def Tech XTR60's?
Just looked at the Emotiva UMC1. Its a nice piece indeed and affordable...Hmmm 
What is your take on Def Tech XTR60's?
Thanks for the advice Robert. I will look into it as soon as possible. From what you said it sounds like I can save the money for the Marantz and just add a preamp to boost the power output. That will drive the DT's much better than the Denon or M... 
What is your take on Def Tech XTR60's?
Larryi thanks. Lol. Yeah the Denon ergonomics is very trying. You should check out there remotes. Horrible. But the AVR 590 is what started me on this path. Im ready to move on to something much better. Ive been reading about the Marantz AV 7005 o... 
What is your take on Def Tech XTR60's?
Tpreaves thanks for your reply. I know where you are coming from and I agree to a point. When I wrote honest opinions I meant in regards to actually hearing the XTR's vs what they went with and giving their honest opinion if its good or not. Maybe... 
What is your take on Def Tech XTR60's?
Thanks again for your reply Larryi. with what you wrote do you think the Marantz AV 7005 reciever would be a good choice? 
What is your take on Def Tech XTR60's?
Well thank you Robert. That is the kind of reply I was hoping to get. I have a Denon AVR 590 powering it with no pre-amp. Im not well versed in the hooking up of these other components but Im planning on picking up a Marantz AV 7005. The Denon is ... 
What is your take on Def Tech XTR60's?
Thanks Larryi. Im not too worried about others irrational opinions. Its the honest, non biased opinions from audiophiles with properly tuned ears that Im looking for. Now I know that may mean the XTR's are garbage and Im good with hearing that but...
