| Home Theater Fronts, Center & Receiver - 2K Used I have an Arcam AVR360 and KEF R300's + T301c , and LOVE the way it sounds. That said, I've had issues with video processing with my Arcam AVR, and am currently looking to replace it with something more stable, or just use the amplifier tech in th... | |
| Why a separate DAC? Thanks Skyflyer - I know of the Sonos stuff, and think we have a similar situation on the content issue. | |
| Why a separate DAC? Bob - just saw your other post about room correction, etc. my AVR actually isn't using room correction because it's not supported in bi-amp mode. That said the input is via HDMI, so it is surely digitized going in.Interesting question though if th... | |
| Why a separate DAC? It's the AVR360, lowest wattage in the bunch from Arcam, at 75watts per channel (small apt). All of the circuitry and processors are Identical across their entire AVR range, only difference I can tell is wattage. As for speaker configuration, I ha... | |
| Why a separate DAC? Thanks folks - this confirmed what I thought. When I was researching I wanted to build a system with a tilt towards HT, but could be somewhat HiFi too. Arcam had the lowest THD I could find, and the wattage, sensitivty(?), etc seemed pretty good. ... | |
| Arcam And HDMI Thanks! I have a TiVo Premiere, which is HDMI 1.3 and the AVR360 is 1.4. If I get shaky HDMI connections again, I'll try a newer TiVo or ATV. Thanks for the suggestion, it would have not dawned on me that the HDMI version being different would cau... | |
| Need a good Nerd Opinion - Biwire Best Value Hey guys - my Signal HiFi cables arrived this week and I installed them. They are amazing, thank you for the suggestion. The biggest improvement I can hear is from my center channel. It sounds like a completely different speaker. Voices are cleare... | |
| Need a good Nerd Opinion - Biwire Best Value Guys - I have to say, thanks so much for the help, this has been great. You gave me great options to check out and research. I ended up feeling pretty good about the pricing with Signal Cable and that for my first experience with this could buy so... | |
| Need a good Nerd Opinion - Biwire Best Value Sorry meant to say biamp. KEF R series have 4 binding posts (2 sets). I didn't realize that there was even a distinction in language between biamp (4-wires) and biwire(2-wires on one end with 4 on the other)! They were interchangeable in my head u... | |
| Need a good Nerd Opinion - Biwire Best Value Thanks everyone else for the suggestions. Anticables are what I had found in my research to be the best value, so I'm glad to get some feedback and confirmation I was heading in the right direction :-) Just thought of something, any difference in ... | |
| Need a good Nerd Opinion - Biwire Best Value Thanks for the offer - I'm going to go with what I think is sometimes refered to as the vandersteen configuration ( 4 x 4). The Arcam kit is specifically designed to split the HF/LF across two discrete circuits, so unfortunately I don't think 2 x ... |
