| Opinions on these budget integrateds? "I hate to see people pay more than they have to and for stuff that's not as good as what can be had cheaper. But it's not my $."@secretguy -- What an arrogant and useless little statement. Must be great to be you! | |
| Home theater bypass Got it. If you unhook the RCAs from the tuner input and just run the Panasonic in stereo through the aux input does the CJ still trip its protection circuit? If not, unhook that from the CJ and hook the preouts from the Onkyo to the aux input an... | |
| Opinions on these budget integrateds? Not sure why the Hegel H160 hasn't been mentioned here yet, but I believe it ticks all your boxes and gets stellar reviews. Here's one in your price range...https://www.usaudiomart.com/details/649455519-hegel-h160-integrated-amplifierdac/Since yo... | |
| Home theater bypass Ok, so the Tuner input is your HT input. Do you have a dedicated 2-channel source or is the DVD player used for both stereo and movies? | |
| Reference 3A MM De Capo vs Legacy Calibre I'd also recommend listening to the Joseph Audio Pulsars if they're at RMAF. Great all-around monitor that pulls off an incredible disappearing act with outstanding soundstage and overall coherence. | |
| Home theater bypass @audiomaze -- what input on the CJ are the audio outs from the DVD player connected to? | |
| Home theater setup recommendations? Following up from my prior post and adhering to those principles, here is a system I put together for my brother's friend who was in a similar situation and was also ready to check the dreaded "Bose" default option. He wasn't willing to deal with... | |
| Home theater setup recommendations? "Running two sets of Vandy 2's, L-R-LR-RR might be amazing and I don't think you'd miss a sub-woofer with a setup like that to keep things a bit simpler."I used to think like this too until I cobbled together my own HT by starting with my dedicate... | |
| Reference 3A MM De Capo vs Legacy Calibre Given what you're looking for I'd highly recommend ATC SCM50 active speakers. You'll get the speakers and amps customized to drive the speakers all in one package, and that ATC dome midrange has dynamics and transparency I've not heard bettered b... | |
| Looking for speaker recommendations Here's a nice pair of Nola Vipers with upgraded drivers at a big discount. As dipole speakers they'll probably sound much "bigger" in your room. https://www.usaudiomart.com/details/649450056-nola-viper1-ax/You might also consider a pair of Joseph... | |
| Home theater bypass Please tell us exactly how you have this whole thing hooked up. Something's wrong somewhere. | |
| Reference 3A MM De Capo vs Legacy Calibre What aspects of sound reproduction and speaker performance are most important to you? | |
| Opinions on these budget integrateds? Why would you let your spouse touch the system??? No good can come of that. Plus, you have to deal with her interface and that's about as complicated as it gets. What goes around... | |
| SPEAKERS, SPEAKERS AND MORE SPEAKERS.. BUT NEED BASS.? @shinemaster -- It would help greatly if you'd tell us what speakers you're using now and what else you've heard so it will give us at least an idea of what's NOT "enough" bass. And you're simply not going to get the WHOLE aspect without subs, an... | |
| Home theater bypass You connect the CDP to any line level (non-phono, let's say the "tuner") input on the CJ and the L/R preouts from the Onkyo to another line level (let's say the "ancillary") input also on the CJ. When you want to listen to 2-channel you choose th... |
