| Can pro amps possibly sound good? Crown, QSC, etc Grannyring, thanks for the suggestion, but 200W/ch isn't enough power for me. And I'm told that bridging increases distortion. I'll keep an eye on their website, assuming I go ahead with separate amps rather than active speakers, to see if they in... | |
| Can pro amps possibly sound good? Crown, QSC, etc Shardorne,Thanks, what you've said is going to make me revisit the possibility of going with flush-mounted speakers. Do you have any opinions as to sound quality of various pro alternatives, Genelec, Adam, Dynaudio, etc? | |
| Can pro amps possibly sound good? Crown, QSC, etc Shardorne - in fact I currently have actives in a 2.1 setup, the Paradigm Active/40s. For the new HT, at one point I was looking into smallish actives like the JBL LSR4300 series, and the Focal Solo6 Be (if people aren't aware, these list for 45% ... | |
| Can pro amps possibly sound good? Crown, QSC, etc Thanks again for everyone's thoughts. Grannyring - thanks for the suggestion, but I'm not looking for 80-85% of the performance of "great amps" for $200-300 per channel, but rather (I'm hoping) 99-100%, for up to $1000-2000 per channel. I'm wonder... | |
| Can pro amps possibly sound good? Crown, QSC, etc Ait - you wrote "Not quite the sound quality of my audiophile rig in the family room, but pretty darned close for the money". It might be a hard question to answer, but could you please try to characterize the difference in sound? And what audioph... | |
| Can pro amps possibly sound good? Crown, QSC, etc Thanks for all the input, guys. From some of the not-so-glowing commentary about the lower end of the pro gear spectrum, I guess I'll be avoiding the low end, at least for the fronts, and probably the sides and rears as well. So the real question ... | |
| Can pro amps possibly sound good? Crown, QSC, etc Oops the last line should have read "Macro Tech" rather than "Macro Reference"...the latter is discontinued. | |
| Revel Salon 2 versus WP 8 Wow, Jkalman, that's dedication!Looking forward to further measurements and impressions. | |
| active professional monitors for HT Alun,No, I haven't settled on anything yet....I am in the early stages as I haven't even designed the room yet, much less started construction. Mackie actually seems to have recently introduced mk2 versions of its monitors, which will be on the li... | |
| active professional monitors for HT Stearnsn,What was your old system, which you mentionned liking alot? | |
| active professional monitors for HT Stearnsn,What else did you audition before picking the HD-1? And how much did the HD-1s sell for, street?Thanks. | |

| active professional monitors for HT Thanks for the responses. Some of the brands like PMC and NHT Xd are over my budget, but the others I am going to try to audition once I get further into the process. I anticipate that making decisions even after auditioning isn't going to be easy... | |
| Professional Monitors I'm toying with the idea of using pro active monitors for a 7.1 HT. Have been surfing and in addition to the Solo6, the JBL LSR4326P has piqued my interest. Take a look at their site: http://www.jblpro.com/products/recording&broadcast/LSR4300/... |
