| Weakest link? Nice! Man, I bet the Salons sound awesome with those subs with good 2-channel material. | |
| How does the digital bypass on home theater processor work Given what you're looking to do, and that unfortunately the Mytek looks like it only has one analog input that presumably will be taken by your turntable, you'd just run the analog out from the Mytek into the front L/R analog inputs on the prepro.... | |
| Weakest link? Not that the 8802a is a bad prepro at all, but I think you'd get the biggest improvement by incorporating a good stereo preamp (preferably with a HT bypass input) if 2-channel is important -- and I assume it is since you're not asking this in the ... | |
| How does the digital bypass on home theater processor work I think you might be thinking of this backwards. The idea is to run the front L/R preouts from the prepro to an analog input on the Mytek. That way only the Brooklyn is in the playback chain for critical 2-channel listening and the prepro is com... | |
| My Amp is Broken - Not Sure What to Do - Any Recommendations? McCormack is reputed to match well with Vandy speakers. Here's an upgraded DNA-1 at a good price that should have plenty of power for your 3As. Best of luck in whatever you decide. https://www.usaudiomart.com/details/649468342-mccormack-dna1-w-s... | |
| Center channel speaker recommendations Yeah the LS50 is a great choice with the Dayton amp, or their center speaker from their R-series is on sale for the same price...https://www.kefdirect.com/home-theater/home-theater-separates/center-channel-speakers/r200c-center-c...One of those is... | |
| Best speakers for $300/pr I'd make a bid on these Silverline Minuets that are far more than decent...https://www.ebay.com/itm/253891672222?ul_ref=http%253A%252F%252Frover.ebay.com%252Frover%252F1%252F7...Or if he prefers to buy new, these Aperions are very decent and a goo... | |
| Speaker Recommendation: 20K range Given what you're looking for and price, the first thing that came to mind was the Carver Amazing Line Source. Best of luck. | |
| what is the best option for one button controlled all HT? I’d buy a bunch of smart bulbs and a good programmable remote. Yeah it might take two button presses, but how much you willing to pay to eliminate just one push of a button? | |
| Musical Sound Quality of AV Surround receiver vs. pure Stereo The sub looks to be self powered so no concern there. The first question you need to answer is if you like the 685s enough to keep them. If yes, then almost any decent integrated stereo amp should yield a significant improvement over your AVR. ... | |
| What Characteristic Strikes You First About Un-amplified Music? I've actually thought a lot about this too. I play in a band so I've had some time to reconcile what I hear when we play live versus a good recording of a live performance. Obviously the quality of the recording will make a huge difference, so l... | |
| Paradigm Studio 100 V3 versus the Paradigm S8 V1 Yeah, that’s a ridiculous amount of speaker for that price. I got nuthin’ that can touch that. GO! RUN! BUY!!! NOW!!!!!Oh, forgot to mention I had an audiophile friend who had both the Studio 100s and S8s in his system, and his impression was that... | |
| Musical Sound Quality of AV Surround receiver vs. pure Stereo If 2-channel is important to you I think an integrated amp with a HT bypass is an optimal solution. Neither the preamp nor amp sections from your AVR are doing you any favors, so an integrated elegantly solves both issues in one box. I'd recomme... | |
| Preamp Input for Coincident system - Don Sachs, deHavilland, LTA, Joule Electra? I didn't know about the Truth but it's now high on my radar along with Sachs. The other two I was considering if you can find them used were the Backert Rhumba 1.2 or Atmasphere SP3 if you still want tubes and don't want to wait for the Sachs. Be... | |
| Paradigm Studio 100 V3 versus the Paradigm S8 V1 If I were you I'd take the opportunity to listen to some other speakers rather than jumping on another pair of Paradigms. Nothing against Paradigm at all, but there are tons of excellent competitors in this price range. Three I'd recommend audit... |
