| In-walls for 6 & 7 db, according to Cary's spec sheet of the 11a it does matrixing. It has "Listener Profile for speaker settings". I'm not sure if that's an automated room correction EQ or simply manual volume and distance settings. Overall it seems like a terrific... | |
| In-walls for 6 & 7 If you must take a carpenters recommendation...http://www.kef.com/us/customKEF also makes a T series flat on wall that may interest you.If your processor/receiver does not matrix 5.1 into 7.1 then yes 7.1 is currently relegated to newer releases. ... | |
| Arcam AVR 350 or Marantz SR 6005 Arcam typically makes a better sounding receiver. If I'm not mistaken the AVR350 your interested in has an outdated feature set. Some further research may reveal some reliability issues with that model. I'd suggest looking into the latest NAD rece... | |
| Separates or Receiver to modernize home theater? It seems unique to AV hardware that the big players manage to equip their mid to upper tier receivers with all the latest innovations.

| Class A multichannel amplifier? Cobaltturbo, I hope the original poster takes our subjective remarks and suggestions for what they are, subjective. When I suggest going with a 7.1 system I usually mention room size is not an issue and regardless of the quickly growing amount of ... | |
| Magnepans with Bryston 7BSST You might want to read this first. It seems it's not simply a matter of watts.http://www.sanderssoundsystems.com/technical-white-papers/magtech-regulated-power-supply-wpThen read the review in the February TAS. | |
| Class A multichannel amplifier? Classe' amplification products are generally considered higher end than the others on your short list. Classe' room EQ adjustability may require a different process which you should check into. Unless your attempting to assemble a high quality two... | |
| Configuration Help with New Display/Source I understand your speakers are partially built in. I'm an advocate of 7.1 and especially matrixed 5.1 media into a 7.1 array. The advantage of having a much clearer localization of dialogue and/or effects through the LCR speakers is huge. The addi... | |
