| Marantz SR5008 vs Cambridge Audio AZUR 650R Ooh. That changes thing pretty significantly IMHO. As much as the amp section could be limiting the performance of your speakers, the preamp section of even a decent AVR can be just as detrimental and likely worse than the amps. If 2-channel audio... | |
| Marantz SR5008 vs Cambridge Audio AZUR 650R Personally I would not power speakers of that caliber with a receiver. Are you doing any 2-channel listening as well? | |
| Which A/V receiver for Pioneer monitor Center ? If sound quality is important, Yamaha receivers also get high marks. The RX-V377 isn't as stylish as the Marantz but is $150 cheaper and would probably do just fine. I also agree to start without center speaker if you're not sitting far off axis. ... | |
| High End Audio-Gaining Higher Ground? Harman Int'l trades on the NYSE and has doubled over the past year. | |
| High End Audio-Gaining Higher Ground? In the context of the entire population we audiophiles are barely a rounding error -- maybe one or two percent of the population at best. I think we're predisposed genetically to appreciate quality recorded and reproduced sound and that percentage... | |
| JA Perspecitve Stereophile review Jafant, since you've had the opportunity to hear these in a home system (I unfortunately have only heard them at shows to date), other than the missing bass how do you categorize their strengths, weaknesses, and overall presentation/performance? A... | |
| JA Perspecitve Stereophile review It just clicked that this kind of incongruity with general experience happened once before relatively recently with Lichte's follow-up review in 2010 of the Totem Forest speakers:"But while the Forests' imaging greatly improved with the addition o... | |
| JA Perspecitve Stereophile review Agree with Rcprince about the questionable pulling of the review from Eric Lichte. He implies that it's due to the boost in the presence region, but given the size of the room I suspect it's more due to bass integration issues. Again curious since... | |
| Shrinking my system What's your budget? 5" speaker height? Really? | |
| SMC McCormack or Vincent Pwr Amp Buying an un-modded used McCormack amp and then modding it is not a good idea. Better to wait for a Rev. A or Gold level modded amp and buy that used so you get big discounts on both the amp and the mods. My experience is they don't need much serv... | |
| Subwoofer's Front Firing vs. Down Firing The hole or the sub? Pretty sure I hear digging. | |
| Subwoofer's Front Firing vs. Down Firing Clearly Duke and Tim do not have enough sales experience to know how a subwoofer works. But it is fun to watch Bo school two guys, who actually know how to build a speaker, on the finer points of subwoofer design. I for one hope it continues to se... | |
| Best Center Channel to Pair with B&W 803D2 Get a new damn cabinet. Kills me when cabinets determine component choices, but that's just me. | |
| best mach for SB venere 1.5 Congrats. Nice amp and great that you got to demo it. Always a good thing. | |
| Need to consider a new pair of ICs What's the new DAC? Someone here probably has one and may have a helpful perspective on this issue. |
