| Which subwoofer should I get? REL is the OPPO of the HiFi world, over-hyped because magazines like The Absolute Sound said it was great but many cheaper alternatives do better. I'll vote for SVS if you want to save a few bucks and like the app. I'll also throw in the Paradi... | |
| Amp for B&W 802N Take a look around for the CAM-600 if you can swing the price. Those speakers take a lot of power to get the most out of them. Like soix mentions above, Classe is a fantastic pairing to B&W | |
| Starting my showroom again I think I'm in the town you're talking about (maybe lol) and here's my .02c I've been in the AV industry since 2008 and the first half of those were at a retail brick n mortar and the second half has been in CI world, so two different worlds.... | |
| Super tweeter, subwoofer, or both I'm not sure how a super tweeter effects the bass but ok. I've added both subwoofers and super tweeters to the single driver systems I've had with great results when done properly. It takes time to integrate but the end result, to me, was fantasti... | |
| Bookshelf Speakers for Luxman 590axii? I have been super impressed by the PS Audio FR5. I'm using a Cambridge Edge A integrated which is 100wpc which drives them really well. | |
| Anthem AVM 70 or Marantz AV10 @thiagoalves Yes, the early AVM70s did have some software issues, along with the MRX series. That lasted about a year and has been fine ever since. If you're looking used make sure it comes with the calibration mic | |
| Anthem AVM 70 or Marantz AV10 The AVM 70 is cheaper and I would take it over the Marantz all day. However, at the price of the AV10 the better comparison would be the AVM 90 and I'd take that over everything under 15k. Marantz is a great brand but not really my taste sonicall... | |
| Experienced Maggie Lovers Please Advise The other thing to consider with maggies is the power. They love power and the bigger you go the more power they can take. You don't mention what amplification you have or are considering but, in my opinion, the 3.7's I've dealt with sounded much ... | |
| what amplification are you running with your Dynaudio Heritage Specials? The STR is tough to beat in that price range with their built in room correction, its an uber handy tool. | |
| Best choice for small form Amp for desktop I second the NAD and PS Audio, great little amps | |
| Pioneer Elite vsx-14 enough for hdi-3800? Alternatives? @szejna The NAD you noted has Dirac built in I believe. Room correction software is a different animal but can make a great difference when use properly. If you aren't techy Dirac can be somewhat difficult to navigate. In that case I'd suggest f... | |
| Pioneer Elite vsx-14 enough for hdi-3800? Alternatives? @szejna The two you have listed are a good product and worth your consideration as well as the Yamaha also suggested. Take a look at The Music Room if you want to purchase them, they have a return policy so that way you can try them and see wh... | |
| Pioneer Elite vsx-14 enough for hdi-3800? Alternatives? That VSX has to be 20ish years old? So the short answer is yes you'd gain an improvement going with a new surround receiver (i.e. Anthem, Marantz etc). Look for one that has room correction, stable to 4ohm and has good clean power. If this is... | |
| Hunting for an integrated for thiels cs 2.3. Anthem, Hegel, Bel Canto? Of those options, I'd strongly recommend the STR. Having ARC built in will get the most out of those Thiels https://tmraudio.com/components/integrated-amplifiers/anthem-str-stereo-integrated-amplifier-mm-mc-phono-1-1/ | |
