| Velodyne DD10 vs DD12 Thanks all! I'm getting the DD12. | |
| Krell HTS2 vs McIntosh MX120? I tend to agree with you about side stepping rather than upgrading, and after some thought and homework I'd be wasting money. How reliable has your 7.1 been?Thanks! | |
| processor that could serve as a good preamp I have a Krell HTS2. It was at least 5 years old when I bought it in July of 2008 (eBay). It blew a fuse just this September. I sent it back to Krell and it took about 4 weeks to get it back. They are quite proprietary which is both good and bad. ... | |
| Why is 2 Channel better than multi-channel? Well, you can get a Krell HTS 5.1 which has a preamp mode which bypasses the digital stuff so you can listen just to the front. I have one and love the sound, only its difficult to set up at first. You can find them here for sale. I didn't read th... | |
| B&W 801 vs 803s Hi Palermo. I also have the 803s. They are powered by McIntosh; 200 per side. My room is 13x19 with 9 foot ceilings.To answer your original question as best as possible, my opinion is that the 803s is even a bit over the top as far as my room size... | |
| How do you determine how much to spend on speakers I spent about 45% on my speakers. Then again, its a surround system and they're more speakers to go round. The issue of balance is a very important point because you certainly don't want any more power than is needed for the speakers, nor do you w... | |
| McIntosh MC205 hum Well, the hum is definitely not thru the speakers. Its in the amp. I kinda figured the hum would be explained away by the manufacturer that it is due to the enormous power supply. (Thanks Theo) Don't you think for $8000 it should be quiet too? (I ... | |
| Down-firing subs and downstairs neighbors I own the building.But truthfully, to keep good tenants I have to watch it. They've had loud parties late into the night and i'm cool with it, so if I have a loud moment its cool too. Plus they take trips often!Also, an old wooden house is a music... | |
| B&W Nautilus 804s and clipping How much are you paying? | |
| question about grills.... can the room be off limits to the cats? | |
| Noisier Outer Edges? Seems par for the course for vinyl. The old RCA Red Seals although touted as excellent in quality, had a reputation for warpage, non-fill and general surface noise even when new out of the jacket - remember the 'dynaflex'?. I've been impressed wit... | |
| HELP Classically ignorant, need vinyl insight As far as melancholy music, may I suggest the Rachmaninov Elegiac Piano Trios. They're on the Chandos label, Borodin Trio. Also try the Dvorak "Dumky Trio," also on the Chandos Label. Definite "wrist slashers!" Some parts of Prokofiev's Romeo and ... | |
| If money is not a problem Hello Mrjstark: My audio dealer told me someone in the SF Bay Area did just that. Cost him around 5 million.I myself am a simple man..... probably B&W 802D provided I have the right surroundings i.e. no neighbors within listening range, detach... | |
| Speakers to hang on to for LIFE I am not a rich man so I have to make choices that I have to live with. I had B&W N804 for 7 hears. Just upgraded to 803S. Before that they were Bang & Olufsen M100-2 for maybe around 10 years. | |
