| Receiver for B&W 702 S2 Are you adding other speakers for home theater or are you just going to use the 702s? | |
| Quad Z2s Owners out there?... Yeah, it sounds like the mid/woof probably hit its stops. Did you literally turn the bass up or was it just a bass-heavy song played loudly? It probably did no harm, but you could switch the speakers with the same song and see if it stays on the s... | |
| A DAC to help overcome compressed music? So, you’re using a Node 2i for both streaming and DAC? | |
| Bryston monoblocks 7B ST replacement What sonic improvements would you like to achieve? | |
| A DAC to help overcome compressed music? What are all the components in your system currently? | |
| Move From AVR to Integrated? Nice speakers. If I were you I’d buy a NuPrime IDA-8 integrated from Audio Advisor. It’s $1095, and they offer a 30-day return policy so you can see if it makes nice improvements over your AVR, which it certainly should (read the reviews). It has ... | |
| Kimber 4tc good enough? There’s a pair of Acoustic Zen Satori 8’ shotgun bi-wire cables with spades on US Audio Mart for $750, which is half retail. These are excellent all-around cables, and after 30 years if you have any desire to try something different to see how yo... | |
| Replacement for Marantz AV8801: another prepro or receiver? Is 2-channel important to you or is this mostly for HT? | |
| Receiver Yeah, given your requirements if you can afford $2700 I’d go with the Anthem MRX 740 and call it a day. Frankly you’d probably be almost as happy with the Yamaha RX-A2080 at $1000 less, but if this is a long-term purchase and it’s in your budget,... | |
| Does benchmark dac sound good if don't like oppo dac sound? I don’t think the Benchmark will work for you. The R2R DACs have been gaining favor among those who are looking for a more analog-like sound, so the Pontus is likely a good choice as is the Soekris DAC1421 that is a bargain IMO at about $900. Pas... | |
| PS Audio Stellar Phono Preamp vs. Allinic H1202 Read reviews and go by which one exhibits the sound characteristics you’re looking for. Personally I’d take a Herron VTPH over either, so maybe add that one to your list. | |
| B&W 804d3 amplifier pairing....(Rotel RB1590?) Bryston, Bryston, Bryston! There are a couple 4B3s available here now for about $4100 — grab one. | |
| Connect older Bose Subwoofer to a modern AV receiver So, I’ve gotten my dads old Bose Audiomass 5 series 3 subwoofer which I’m really fond of.Good Lord, why??? That’s like saying you’ve gotten your dad’s Yugo that you’re really fond of. my issue has been solved!Congrats. What’d you do, throw it off ... | |
| Floor-standing vs Book-shelf from upper line up? I’d be concerned with the bass output of the Trio in your room. It’s actually a 2-way speaker so both mid/bass drivers are going to reinforce bass. I had a similar speaker design once and the bass output was surprising and not really suited for ... | |
| Receiver Is stereo listening important to you? If so, what % do you use system for movies vs. music? How do you like the sound with the Marantz, and is there anything specific you’d like to improve upon? |
