| emotiva mono block amps any good? I thought I did, when I mentioned the used XPA-1s for $1200, shipped.I also appears that I am wrong when I assumed above that watts do not equal quality. Apparently, you believe that it does.Apparently, I stepped on someone's toes.So, Mitch, have ... | |
| Four channel intergrated amp? Brad,As Tls49 mentioned, your Onkyo is a two channel receiver. I believe that you have mistaken the fact that is has two sets of speaker terminals for each side to mean that it is a four channel amp.The specs for your receiver, as published on Onk... | |
| Does The Squeezebox Touch Have a Worthy Successor? If things stay as they are now, I'll probably just wind up sending a Sonos to W4S and letting them do an upgrade on it. The only real advantage that the SBT has over the Sonos is the ability to do hi res files. Personally, I've found hi res downlo... | |
| Speaker advice redux? Oh, to the OP. Considering your requirements, perhaps you should also check out the offerings from System Audio. They weren't for me because when I listen to rock, I tend to like it loud. The SA's wouldn't do rock the way I liked it, but for low l... | |
| emotiva mono block amps any good? How about the XPA-1s on ebay right now for $1200 shipped? From an apparently reputable dealer. | |
| Hard drive for Oppo 105 and Sonos Pardon the expression, but the Sonos is truly idiot proof. It is far easier to setup and maintain than anything else I've seen in the price range.I have a little single drive NAS and I have it set to back up to two separate drives. One is just a l... | |
| emotiva mono block amps any good? Tonyangel, I'm curious, what is arguably better on the used market for that price?Well, if watts equal quality, then they are offering an undeniably good deal. I was referring to sound quality. I don't typically shop for amps rated at 500wpc, but ... | |
| Sub for MA Silver S1 Do you have a budget? Music, movies or both?I believe that MA makes subs. One of their models should blend nicely.I have a room about the size of yours and I run a little REL T3. It does nicely for music, but doesn't quite get it for movies. You m... | |
| Space Efficient Speakers Metakrome, what really sucks about speaker shopping is that the equipment very rarely sounds the same in your home as it does in the room that you auditioned them in.If you've found something that interests you, ask your dealer if he/she allows au... | |
| emotiva mono block amps any good? Emotiva is definitely a good bang for the buck, especially now with the sale going on.My only problem with Emotiva is that there isn't much of their used stuff on the market, and for the price of their new stuff, you can get equipment that is argu... | |
| Hard drive for Oppo 105 and Sonos Oh, if you are fairly computer savvy, you might also want to try to locate a used Squeezebox Touch. I know that most are taking advantage of the fact that they are no longer made, but I have seen a couple of deals here on Agon that weren't too bad... | |
| Hard drive for Oppo 105 and Sonos I was assuming that the point was not to have to leave a computer on all of the time to play music. Otherwise, you can just create a shared folder and put your music into it. Now that I think about it, that's how I started. | |
| Speaker advice redux? Oh man, I'd hate to have to make this decision. My wallet made my decision for me.My knee jerk reaction would be to say get the Harbeths. On the other hand, the Minuets are very nice. I have a pair.I also listen to a very wide range of varying typ... | |
| Why are subwoofers so polarizing? Bo1072, if I understand you correctly, your arguments are based on findings that you arrived at using an Onkyo A/V receiver. It is your further position that using a sub at up to 140hz does nothing to hurt the image of the music.Sorry, but I'd hav... | |
