Krell or Mark Levinson with Revel Ultima2's???
KennyT, both are decent choices, but the Krell EVO would be my choice between the two as I've never been a big ML fan or Krell for that matter. However, I am a new fan of the EVO's. As a Dynaudio dealer myself, I had a recent customer purchase the... 
Samsung TV quality
I sell the Samsungs here in Oklahoma and feel they are outstanding values and have excellent picture qualities. As with any TV you can have issues. With every issue I've ever had with a Samsung TV, the customer support and service has been excelle... 
Dynaudio C4 vs Von Schweikert VR5SE Have to travel
I think times are tough for some. Lot's of people have been downsizing homes lately. I think the low interest adjustable mortgage rates are biting people in the rear. People were crazy for buying into those unless they were buying investment prope... 
Dynaudio C4 vs Von Schweikert VR5SE Have to travel
A Dynaudio dealer here. The C2 is an amazing speaker, but it does have it's limitations. I love it's detail and presence, but the C4 builds upon what the C2 does so well and adds the low end. As for the Temptations, this is the best speaker I've e... 
Dynaudio Contour S5.4 & S3.4 Owners?
The tweeter was designed to be at ear level hence the placement. Extraordinary speakers! 
B&W 803D or Dynaudio C2's
The C2 hands down over the B&W's. However, as good as the C2 is, I would opt for the lesser priced Contour S5.4 over it. To my ears the S5.4 is still the best speaker I've heard under $10K when it's adequately powered and setup correctly. The ... 
HDMI and Component
"HDMI cables having problems with 1080p." There is a lot of truth to that. Some of the cheaper cables are also having trouble with solder breakage too. As for buying cheap cables, I have no problem with going the cheaper route for audio cables, bu... 
Marantz versus Denon
The Marantz is better for audio is my opinion as well. Also, the Marantz warranty is 3 years. 
Can I run 4 ohm Dynaudio's with Marantz sr8001
Steve O, that receiver will do just fine. I sell that receiver and recommend it to my customers who are interested in the Dyn's. No problems thus far. I will say if your are driving all 5 channels the 8001 is limited as are all receivers, they rar... 
Arcam vs. NAD vs. Rotel AV Units
"Rotel offers great adjustments Bass and treble for all channels, plus Individual LF roll off for subwoofer" Good point!!! I actually think their OSD menus are some of the easiest to adjust and have plenty of options as you've said. Most definitel... 
Arcam vs. NAD vs. Rotel AV Units
The Arcam hands down! The Rotel is a nice unit also, but they do seem to have some hissssss you can hear through your speakers. 
The Outlaw ruins X-mas
Ouch! I just ordered two Marantz recievers on Monday and I received them via Fed-X the next day. I paid nothing for shipping and they came from nearly 300 miles away. I know that might not be as far as your shipment had to travel. But, I sure woul... 
Anyone hear Dynaudio subwoofers
Have the Sub500 here mated with the Focus 220/140 for an HT setup. However, I also have the Confidence C1's and have tried it them as well with excellent results. I do have a treated room.I find that it's very musical and very fast. The Sub300 is ... 
Bryston SP2 vs Meridian 861
I looked at carrying both brands, but in the end I ended up hosting the Brystons in house. To me Bryston offered the best in real-world performance in their amplifiers. As for the SP2, it sounds so natural. I would go Bryston, live with their 20 y... 
onkyo vs. Marantz A/V recievers which better?
Three year warranty on the Marantz should tell you something. For 2-channel quality audio the Marantz is the better choice over all receivers but the Arcams IMHO.
