| What is the best sounding Pre/Pro 7.1 channel with analog bypass. What is your priority between stereo and HT? What's your budget? What sound characteristics are most important to you? What speakers are you using? Right now, IMO you're just organizing deck chairs on the Titanic. Take a step back and let us ... | |
| Used 5ch Amp (Classe, Krell, Rotel) BTW, here's a really nice integrated I'd bet would sound fantastic with your speakers. Not sure what your price range is. http://www.audioasylumtrader.com/ca/listing/Integrated-Amplifier-SS/Hegel/H360-Integrated-Amplifier/...FWIW... | |
| Used 5ch Amp (Classe, Krell, Rotel) Yup, @big_greg and @millercarbon are giving you sage advice. If stereo is important to you, then focus your money there and don't waste big bucks on powering your surrounds. The other issue is the Arcam -- its preamp section is sucking the life ... | |
| Solid State Preamp Under $8000 Was thinking you might benefit from being able to use Krell's current mode and cast system if you get a Krell preamp. Since you're looking for a single box, here's an Evolution 222 available now...https://www.usaudiomart.com/details/649506480-kre... | |
| Power Cable ~ $300 - Which to get? Nordost, Audioquest, Furutech, Shunyata, Zavfino? Triode Wire Labs get consistently high praise and you can have an in-home trial, which is always nice. Here's a model near your price range and a review...https://www.triodewirelabs.com/product/ten-plus-american-series/http://www.enjoythemusic.co... | |
| New Joseph Audio Pulsar Graphene 2 Any initial impressions yet Mark, or too early still? | |
| Looking for an integrated Amp... Forgot link...https://www.audiogon.com/listings/lis9dd86-gryphon-diablo-solid-state?refsource=hifishark | |
| Looking for an integrated Amp... Gryphon Diablo a bit over your price range but might be worth the stretch. And @audiotroy is correct. If your AVR has preamp outs, just hook the front L/R outputs from the Marantz to the HT bypass or any other line-level input, balance the volum... | |
| Best mid-range for $3K Here are ATC SCM40s for a little over your budget...https://www.ebay.com/itm/153441667739?ul_ref=http%253A%252F%252Frover.ebay.com%252Frover%252F1%252F7... | |
| 3 channel amp for H/T Uh, I recommended the amp 3 for sale here. Did you find an amp 5? I’m sure that will be an improvement, but seriously, you need to consider upgrading your center speaker. If not the Paradigm I mentioned earlier, I think even this would bring a mea... | |
| 3 channel amp for H/T This was a decent amp in its day and will certainly give you significantly more, and more robust, power. https://www.audiogon.com/listings/lis9dg4c-proceed-amp-3-channel-power-amplifier-amp3-17633-multi-ch...Personally, I'd also consider upgrading... | |
| Need Help Well, here are a couple "you can't go wrong" options, or, put another way, I'm confident you'll be impressed with the sound. Whether it will be optimal for your specific tastes is another question entirely and one that will take MUCH more time an... | |
| Pulsars and the Mythical Armchair Speaker Maker I know lots of people who would take a thousand dollar tweeter and make it sound like crap. :)Hey, I could pull that off!!! I have to say that wildfoxinn tripped my BS meter pretty hard. Not sure he'll be back. | |
| Another help me spend money thread or maybe not.... going to AXPONA Just for something different, you might want to give the Nola KO a listen. They're dipole and also employ a short line array of tweeters and mids, which may sound a little more familiar to you as a Maggie owner. Also, if your budget stretches up... | |
| Full range vs monitors with sub I don't think putting speakers on top of subs is a good idea as it would introduce vibrations into the speakers that can't be good for accurate sound reproduction. Also, the speakers would be too low without some kind of stand underneath. Here's... |
