| Optimized Center Channel @mm1tt77 Yes I am versed in KScape, it's a fantastic product. You would correct that in the cases of a stream only movie or TV show so, no, the KScape wouldn't work. KScape isn't an app based product like an AppleTV. Meaning you don't loads apps... | |
| Optimized Center Channel @traubr Yeah, a few years ago it was a ton to get into them but they've realized that very issue and have changed a lot over the last 5yrs or so. It's still more than an AppleTV or Roku Ultra but it's come way down. I'm looking at the UMIK on th... | |
| Optimized Center Channel @traubr I’d like to point out two things that others have mentioned and my feedback. First off, you’re using a modded appletv to stream. The file you’re hearing is compressed heavily in the audio department and you lose a lot of the info. It doe... | |
| Do you have a speaker that’s not a big name maker but punches above its weight? Why? My vote is an easy one for me, the Aurum Cantus V7F Rosewood finish. Absolutely stunning cabinet finish, efficient so it works with a lot of amps, really great sound with good usable bass down to 40hz (in my smaller dedicated room) and I paid $4k ... | |
| Fyne Audio Vintage Classic Gold SP….beat dealer? What kind of deal are you looking for? Check with Upscale, they treated me great when I bought my stuff from them last year. Otherwise, I'd suggest finding a used or demo set. | |
| To Stream w/Optical Or Not I had the EXN version and I went optical, USB and RCA into my Edge A integrated and found the RCA actually sounded the best. Once I got music playing all I had to do was switch inputs and found what worked best for me, I'd suggest the same path fo... | |
| Yamaha+PreAmp or Rotel RA1572 Years ago I had the Rotel RC1090 and I can say, for a factory integrated phono stage, it's the best I had heard. So between your choices, my vote is for the Rotel | |
| Is My 7 Year Old Aires G1 Still Relevant? I agree with the comment above. That upgrade is really easy and will breathe some new life into your G1. Keep in mind that (in my opinion) you'll have to spend a bit to beat what you already have. I compared the rose 150 to my modded G1 and I ende... | |
| Hafler Series Trans Nova 9505 vs Yamaha M80 Power Amps @johnnotkathi Well the brands we mentioned should do the trick so good luck on your search! | |
| Hafler Series Trans Nova 9505 vs Yamaha M80 Power Amps I had a newer Transnova running the bass panel of my Maggie MGIIIa and it did a great job with that. Depending if you are open to other suggestions or not, there are a lot of amps in that price range that would also work. Example - Adcom & Rot... | |
| Getting 4K with Classe SSP-800 Run your sources into the preamp in 1080p. 80% of people can't tell the difference between 1080p and 4k, also when you stream 4k content you aren't getting that resolution nor HD audio because its compressed. On a side note, your SSP and the Ant... | |
| Diamond vs Aluminum tweeters for B&W 800 series @elliottbnewcombjr The B&W diamond tweeter is fragile material that can literally shatter if something hits it unlike a aluminum dome that will dent. | |
| Help with possible integrated amp change for better match with my speakers. Just to throw out another option that may also help, take a look at the Anthem STR Integrated. You can use the ARC feature to tweak the sound to whatever you like, has a good amount of power and all the connections you could need. The separates a... | |
| Looking for recommendations for outdoor speakers @davetheoilguy That sounds like a really nice patio area! I think the Ambisonic speakers will do a really good job to cover that big of a space. Hopefully there's a dealer near you so they can come out to take a closer look and make their recomm... | |
| Looking for recommendations for outdoor speakers @davetheoilguy Sorry, I guess I need to be more specific. Where are the poles going? Out in the yard facing the listening area? Flanking the Patio? How close to your listening area? How much area are you wanting to cover? Consider the on wal... |
