| Sub and LFE settings on Surround Processor 80hz is fine for movies, LFE are boom and bang anyway. For music you can't get away with the boom and bang thing. If you can set your processor at one set point for movies and another set point for music then you are all set. For music, find the p... | |
| Power amp upgrades for Mirage, M3si speakers The Mirage M3si is a speaker I have listened to hundreds of times, great speakers and I like them even better than the M1's. They are one of the most power hungry speakers I have listened to and are laid back ( Dark sounding ) to me. The Acurus is... | |
| 8 Time Grammy Award Winner? For Real? I find most Grammy award winners to be a let down for some years now, just a market hype in 90% of cases. I like the cd but don't give it a Grammy in my collection. | |

| Speaker stand height Vmps model 626sre sounds best with beard, Sean is right on the correct speaker height. As I said In my post above, get stands with adjustment. | |
| Speaker stand height Get something that has a 1-2 inch adjustment up or down, try for the tweeter at ear height. OSIRIS stands can be found on audiogon at good prices, these stands are 50lbs. each with out sand or shot. | |
| No signal lock on my new used Adcom DAC You forgot to tell us what the problem was, glad it worked out for you though. All sellers I have delt with on audiogon have been fine people. | |
| Audiofile HT system for $10K Start with a RPTV at around $2,000. Have 3 20 amp circuts installed to run it all off of, you should be able to find one of many great pre/pros right here on audiogon used for $1,500/$2,000. You should also be able to pick up a good multichannel a... | |
| DVD/SACD or DVD+SACD, which way to go? All in one players take up little space in your rack, If a receiver is good enough for you then an all in one player will be good enough. Multi-format players have to cut corners some were just like receivers do to keep costs down for that market.... | |
| Is "live" music sound possible for under $1K Agree with Timwat, This would be a taste of true hi-end sound and would be an outstanding system for your room size and musical taste. I take it you already have a music source. | |
| Audiophile pre-amps with home theater pass through You can also do this with passive volume control, I use Bent Audio 102 transformer volume control in my system. | |
| SACD and DVD-A: Apples and Oranges? Hifiho, here is a 6 channel switch box for you with remote, ( www.switch-box.com. ) The guy's name is Shawn Fogg. | |
| Who makes the best passive volume control? George, a passive is a volume control. Long interconnects can give you problems as the source must drive the amp with no help from a pre-amp. With some source and amps you would have no problem with 3 meter interconnects. It all depends on many th... | |
| Best CD Player to buy under $1,500 used. I have the sony XA777 in my system, the redbook play on this player is very good, but not up with the very best. Could you beat it for $1500 with a redbook player, I think so if you look real hard. In my system it sounds just right for me and I am... | |
| Biggest value for the Dollar? I did not buy it here on audiogon, but I do see them here used, and did get the advice here. Passive volume control has been the best value for dollar in my system, biggest bang for buck and I paid almost full price. |
