Recommendations for upgrade from 5.1 to 7.1
Bigger room? When I tried this integration the 60" Kuro in between the mains sucked the sound stage out of my Avalons which are so far out in the middle of the room the whole thing looked silly. The HT went in the den and optimized for HT.Hope you... 
Duntech Black Knights to Martin Logan Summit X
At your level you probably already know the all over the map advise you'll be getting. I have a pair of Avalon Eidolons which are well known for their sound stage. I've been using solid state electronics to drive their somewhat difficult load. I r... 
Bob Carver 180 Mono-blocks perform superbly
The only other Carver product I've owned was a pair of Phase linear 400's in the early seventies for PA use. This was in the infancy of solid state but those amps took a hell of a lot of abuse with no problems until they were eventually sold over ... 
Recommendations for upgrade from 5.1 to 7.1
Yes, Hififan, smaller speakers would be preferable. This guy's big Duntechs in that room as well as the mix of in walls he is thinking of using will definitely detract from the surround effect. With the right room correction software it could be a...

Recommendations for upgrade from 5.1 to 7.1
I strongly disagree with the idea that 7.1 needs a large room. My 7.1 using Triangle Comets and a 15" Earthquake situated diagonally in the corner of a 16'x16' space gets outstanding results.The biggest gain came from the room correction within my...

I thought I had a problem. It turned out to be one of my DIY power cables had a loose connection.I did ship the amp back to Kentucky were it was run in for some time, tested, and I was promptly contacted. I subsequently found the cable problem and... 
Best used turntable/arm combo for under $7,500.00
A Well Tempered owner here. With that budget I'd go for two decks. The Clearaudio Performance or Ovation both play 78s. And a Thorens 124 with an Ortofon SPU mono cartridge.

Tube Amps for Revel Salons
I'm very satisfied with a pair of Carver VTA 180 mono's driving my Avalon Eidolons. More than enough power with solid full bass and a luscious presentation. American made point to point wiring, no wire boards or crimp connectors. Easy to bias the ... 
upscale audio is this legal?
Wilsynet, the Dealer doesn't make any mention of, "willing to look at it that way," if at all. If that's implied then it went right over, as you grasiously put it, my nut. It still isn't clear if the damaged unit the customer purchased or the mint... 
upscale audio is this legal?
["C: The unit he bought and paid for had damage, having a dented transformer cover. It was discounted and priced as a damaged unit. It evens said that on our used listing which is copied directly onto his invoice. He fails to tell you this. What h...

Switch from Parasound JC-1 to Bel Canto Ref 1000?
Pricing out of reach? A great deal has changed and it's changing rapidly. One of the best sounding switching amplifiers, the Hypex nCore 400 sells for less than $1200 a pair in a simple to assemble kit form.The switching module and the power suppl...
