| Mark Levinson 333.5 vs Emotiva XPR-1 Monoblocks Levchappy,Might I ask why you and your wife are considering the change?Not trying to step on any toes, but Levinson equipment is usually compared to the likes of Krell and Pass, whereas Emotiva equipment is usually compared to the likes of NAD and... | |
| Need suggestions replacing my receiver Check out the Emotiva gear. It has a reputation for being a good bang for the buck and they are running a sale right now. I believe that you can get into separates for under your stated budget. | |
| NAD 2140 or Nakamichi 420, or else? Doggitter,I wouldn't be so worried about the amps being out classed by the speakers. The only issues that you have to worry about is whether there is a synergy between your speakers and your amplification and whether the amps will drive the speake... | |
| after TT upgrade, digital sounds like crap- help Greg makes an interesting point. If you don't own any CDs, where is your music coming from? iTunes and MP3 downloads?If this is the case, then that is your problem.You really can't even begin to assess the performance of your digital play back unt... | |
| M-Lores or Aon 3: bass/imaging Adlevision,Man, I'm really feeling for you and don't envy where you are. Picking speakers sucks, because you're always second guessing yourself.Although my opinion on the mLores is probably next to meaningless, since I've never owned them, it just... | |
| How about the Emotiva XDA-2? Although I see your train of thought, I was wondering about using the XDA-2 as a preamp. Emotiva touts it as a preamp, but I was wondering if it was a real preamp, or more of just a line attenuator, like in a passive.I've seen the remarks made at ... | |
| Paradigm bookshelf speakers... Photonman, I'll tell ya, if you like the Paradigm sound, be sure to check out the Studio 40 v3, if you have the opportunity. In my experience, they were the best of the line. | |
| Paradigm bookshelf speakers... Photonman,Did you prefer the 20 because they had more bass and played louder or because they sounded better? In all of the places that I tried the 10s and 20s, the 10s had a better mid range than the 20s. | |
| M-Lores or Aon 3: bass/imaging Speakers are tools and you have to use the right tool for the job. There is such a thing as having too much speaker for a room. Sometimes, a floor stander is the only way to go. Sometimes, a stand mounter is the only way to go. Sometimes, you coul... | |
| Do you play an instrument? Helps in speaker eval? I don't play, but I have two sons that do and it is handy. It's nice to have someone say, "yeah, that's what it's supposed to sound like." | |
| M-Lores or Aon 3: bass/imaging Holley,I don't know what your space limitations are, or more specifically, what freedom you will have in experimenting with placement.If you have to shop for speakers without being able to hear them, try to also gather information on how picky the... | |
| Rush downloads from HDTracks I was asking specifically about the Rush downloads. | |
| M-Lores or Aon 3: bass/imaging I have to admit that all of the buzz going around with the mLores also sparked my interest, which led to a bit of reading up on them.A poster above mentioned tilting the speakers back to get it so that the listener is in the sweet spot. I've seen ... | |
| NCore vs. Ice -- single or separate cases Nsirkin, I'm in the New Orleans area.My speakers are a pair of Silverline Minuet Supreme Pluses. They aren't hard to push, but they can take a lot of power.I pulled out the old SPL meter the other night while I was listening and it looks like I'm ... | |
| M-Lores or Aon 3: bass/imaging I suppose I should qualify what I'm about to say with the fact that I haven't heard either of the speakers being dicussed.Although my perception of my experiences may be off, I'd say that, generally speaking, when comparing a stand mount speaker t... |
