| HT gets more and more complicated. And to think I almost considered selling my Rotel to get a more "user friendly" Denon. It took me weeks to figure out how to get the OSD to work since the manual failed to mention you need to be on one of ten different remote settings or it won't ... | |
| HDCD, any new titles coming out? If your into acoustic guitar and mandolin, just about every cd on Dave Grisman's acousticdisc.com is hdcd, for about $13 each. | |
| DLP vs Plasma/LCD Darryl, we agree on your point of crt vs. dlp if space is not an issue. That's exactly what I did getting a large widescreen rptv for half the cost of the Samsung dlp for a large basement rec room. The link was to point out that the 50" you mentio... | |
| DLP vs Plasma/LCD Darryl...my guess is the 50 inch LCD you see is probably an LCD projection tv, not a flat panel. LCDs larger than 37 inches are very expensive right now while you can pick up 42 inch plasmas for $2500 these days. Don't compare the least expensive ... | |
| DLP vs Plasma/LCD My understanding is that LCD is the future of television, not plasma. LCD is lighter, doesn't burn in, and has a much longer "life expectancy". Unfortunately, right now large flat screen LCDs are very expensive compared to DLP and plasma. Both DLP... | |
| Which Quad's I had the 21Ls paired with Rotel and the combination worked very well for music, less well for HT. They are rear ported, so against the wall won't be the best placement. I don't think these are great speakers for rock, but are beautiful for acoust... | |
| HT speakers, sub, receiver/separates for $3500? Paradigms and Rotel if this is primarily a HT system. I don't think you can do better for the money. | |
| Receiver Rotel? and Speakers Maggies? for HT? Frank, I have the reference studio series, the link below shows the various models in that line. Good luck. http://www.paradigm.com/Website/SiteReferenceProduct/RModels/StudioSeries/StudioSpecs.html | |
| Receiver Rotel? and Speakers Maggies? for HT? I also recently set up a second system for HT, seperate from my 2 channel rig and decided on the Rotel 1055 (good deal since the 1056 had recently come out) and Paradigm 60 v3s. The Paradigms work very well for HT and they pair up well with the Ro... | |
| SACD - Dying already? Your right, DVD is for those who aren't complaining, and they're the ones who are going to determine the market. Socialize wherever you like, just remember those who don't remember the past are doomed to repeat it. | |
| SACD - Dying already? Jdaniel, you misunderstand some of my opinions. In saying Sony "had" to try to keep their market share, I wasn't implying they shouldn't make business decisions that are in their best interests. For them it was the right thing, they risked losing ... | |
| SACD - Dying already? The history of high end audio has always been taking mass media and squeezing the most out of it through great equipment. First with vinyl and later with CDs. I really believe that Sony set back the high resolution digital movement by introducing ... | |
| Still pondering Paradigms I don't see how anyone can comment without any knowledge of the electronics your running. Paradigms are very good speakers, especially the 40 and 60 v3 in your price range. Trust your ears. | |
| Quad 21L/22L I had the 21L and center in a second HT/music setup. They were very warm but detailed speakers that sounded great with acoustic, jazz and vocals. On the other hand, I thought them too polite for other types of music like rock, country/bluegrass, e... | |
| Question from newbie I still think the original Rega Planet for around $350-$400 (US) provides some of the best sound you can get for the money. They are easy to find because so many were sold, well built and very musical. I still use mine every now and then in my sec... |
