Denon 3808 or 2809
It has an additional HDMI input I believe. I ended up with the 3808 which replaced an old B&K Ref20. I purchased it for the new audio codecs DTS-MA and Dolby Tru HD. Great sounding unit. 
JL Audio f112 blown speaker?
Put your sub on an seperate circuit if you can.Try using a heavy duty extension cord and run the sub to a different outlet away from the rest.The JL's have a limiter of sorts built into it. I found it running test tones thru it, didn't damage it a... 
Which Sub. Rel B-1 or Fathom F-113
I must add to the statement of "no port noise"! You're kidding right? I got my Stentor III to get the port to chuff a couple of times. Not excessively but it still did it. The big advantage the JL has over the REL is the built in ARO to adjust in ... 
Which Sub. Rel B-1 or Fathom F-113
Okay let me chime in here. I've owned a REL Storm which was sold and replaced with a REL Stentor III. Both were used in my room 21x15 which you can reference thru the link under my name. I subsequently sold the Stentor III after I bought a pair of... 
Wilson Audio MAXX series III
None of you are making the situation any easier for the rest of us, LOL. Congratulations on getting Maxx III's 
Wilson Audio MAXX series III
Same here. I like the design of the new Maxx 3 but no way in hell can I drop 68K on a pair of new ones. 
Upgraded fuses in Acoustat 2 + 2's
They are a very well built speaker. Long story short. I accidently shot a hole (9mm) thru one of my 2+2's years ago. No, I wasn't drunk just doing something stupid. The panel still played with a hole in it, although when pushed you could see the a... 
Wilson Sophia 2: grills on or off ?
I have WP7 and Sophias and have listened with grills both on and off and could not hear a real difference. I leave my grills on. The grill material is very thin and transparent. 
Synergistic New Tesla Line...Any comments?
Yes, turn it on and leave them on. They were designed that way. If you leave them alone you should hear a smoothness that sets into the cable. I've had mine on 24/7 for several years now. ;) 
ARC LS 17 vs LS 25 Mk II
I've owned at least 5 different ARC preamps at one time or another and liked them all. You're going to get both refined and authoritive sound with the LS-25 MKII.I believe that's what the other poster's analogy between the two cars was conveying. ... 
Your Favorate JBL's from the 70's
Cool thread. My dream system in the 70's which I never could afford was a Marantz 2325 Receiver and a pair of JBL L-100's. I was able to afford later my dream of owning the Dual TT. Similar to what Emailists had posted.Of course my system is much ... 
Tube pre-amp pop
Have you called ARC and spoken with Leonard already. I answered the question regarding the the LS3 owners pop in the other thread.That one may be due to DC offset in his amplifier,per ARC. Sounds like you may have a seperate issue. You can always ... 
Audio Research LS 3 question
It's an on going thing with ARC preamps. I have a LS-25MK II and the mute when switched on "pops". I am using a Levinson 335. It did not "pop when using ARC's amp which was a 100.2 at at he time.Here is what is printed in the LS25 manual."Some sol... 
Pink Floyd's Pulse DVD finally
To add the Pulse DVD has a section on "upping the bootleggers"! It has someone with a hand held camera shooting the concert. This DVD is one of my favourites. 
What are these "SUPERBIT" DVD's?
Once you've seen Salo you'll never forget it. I did watch it from start to finish. Didn't the director kill himself?
