| xindac FS-2 speaker cables? Dave, with your system, you might consider auditioning the Audience Au24 speaker cables. I think you'll be impressed as they just might equal or exceed the performance of any previous cables you've tried. And at only a fraction of the cost of many... | |
| AZ Satori vs. Audience AU24 Audio is a funny thing as I had almost the opposite experience of BigKidz. I bought my Au24's upon a friend's recommendation, and after subsequent research. In my initial research, among other things, I found that some to many (including Stereophi... | |
| What would you hook up to a Voice of the theater ? Take it from one who owned Carver's old top-of-the-line amp: If your tfm-35 is anything like the 1.5t, dump the Carver!You would get more current and umph from an older Onkyo 919 or Denon 5700 receiver than you would from the Carver.Your VOT speak... | |
| Best Musical Home Theater Speaker Thanhn, he mentioned speakers, but he also mentioned his intensions, along with his music vs. HT preferences, and he also mentioned purchasing a new system. And he described why he was about to do so. And he even stated the amount allocated for pa... | |
| Kansas City I'd be interested, Amohn. | |
| Best Musical Home Theater Speaker Notcat2, I wouldn't discount the sonic superiority of a nice 2-channel system just yet.If it's set up properly, with excellent equipment, and if you include a nice musical subwoofer, you will still get that 'widescreen' experience. Perhaps not to ... | |
| Best Musical Home Theater Speaker You seem to indicate that music would be a priority in your listening.I would like to suggest your considering the best 2-channel system you can obtain for the same money you would have otherwise spent on a surround sound system that would most li... | |
| Terminology? AudioPh, theoretically, the difference between the sonics of a pre-amp and pre-processor should be little if any.The reality is that some to many to most pre-pros must do more than the average 2-channel pre-amp and therefore, perhaps to stay withi... | |
| Are Dealer Recommendations Useful or Useless? Audiokinesis offers sage advice. Advice that should be heeded by all of us. Regardless of the industry or circumstances.What perplexes me is the attitude that some have developed by thinking that simply being a participant in this specific hobby s... | |
| How important is powercord synergy? Mootsdude, please keep in mind that I do not use aftermarket power cables per se. I use dedicated in-line passive line conditioners for each component that just so happen to include their own built-in power cables. This is ideal for those with ded... | |
| SPeakers 90% of your sound I think Redkiwi brings up a very good point. However, he neglected to mention the significant contribution that an amplifier (not just any amp) brings to the table. Which I believe has much to do with the quality of that flavor of sound, as well a... | |
| How important is powercord synergy? To wait to address any AC deficiencies (which we all have) is bass ackwards IMO. But then again, I don't use any power cables per se.I would think theoretically, that if one properly addresses all electrical AC before purchasing any components wou... | |
| Are Dealer Recommendations Useful or Useless? Quicke, then exactly what was the 'consultant' consulting? I think I understand the point you are trying to relay.But the sad part is that nobody is ever going to benefit from consultant's knowledge base and experience. If the 'consultant' is not ... | |
| Are Dealer Recommendations Useful or Useless? Seriously, Peter. Nobody is going to know your system's pros and cons like you do.I believe any consumer should rightfully be suspect about any dealer's recommendation for a product they carry always has the potential to be subjective since they a... | |
| Are Dealer Recommendations Useful or Useless? If the dealer recommends speakers they carry and you purchase them, then the recommendation was certainly useful to at least one party in the transaction.-IMO |
