| can bipolar surround speaker on backwall with 5.1 Since I didn't read your well written room description closely my suggestion of surround and rear speaker placement is not correct. My HT room is similar to yours except my 60" display is in a corner which would seem even more awkward for a good s... | |
| can bipolar surround speaker on backwall with 5.1 If you haven't already purchased the receiver and speakers I highly recommend a 7.1 HDMI receiver and seven matching Sync One B's or smaller speakers and a sub. If your couch backs up to the back wall the rears would mount in the upper rear corner... | |
| NuForce vs Bel Canto Samzx12,which class D did you own and a brief description of your system? | |
| Ayre vs Primare Aside from any personal taste in audio presentation I wouldn't purchase any high dollar product that's manufactured abroad for reasons of actual manufacture serviceability. My only caveat would be if that product were clearly superior in performan... | |
| Which powerfilter for best picture on Plasma & LCD If your able to, I suggest upgrading your VAC to a dedicated 20 amp circuit using 10 -12 ga. copper wire in metal clad conduit terminated with, at the very least, a hospital grade isolated ground receptacle. If the VAC from the street to your brea... | |
| How Big is Too Big? For TV I thought I went a little and my wife thought I went way over board with a 60" plasma. The second it was powered up we were both very happy. Its corner placement puts seating 7'-10' away without a complaint from anyone.Our 27" iMac is a bit... | |
| 7.1 vs. 5.1 - Meaningful difference? I found the improvement so substantial in my smallish HT room that I can't say it's simply a subjective difference. I upgraded the receiver and disk player to Blueray and added two more of the same speakers. Even with 5.1 media and cable the matri... | |
| D2v vs Classe ssp800, which would you prefer? I'd give that dealer another chance. Call them back and explain how close you are to buying. Repeat your priorities and concerns and see, with some advanced notice, if they can accommodate the setup your interested in. Make an appointment and tell... | |
| Good used receiver for bedroom. Denon? Marantz? This is hardly fair to say but after I was able to audition the Denon/Marantz Arcam, and Integra at one location the Arcam edged out the Integra. To pay that much for a receiver was hard to swallow and since the Integra had more usable features it... | |
| Signs of poor electricity in home...? Yes, in even the most exotic systems you'll hear varying small amounts of hiss with your ear right up to the tweeter. Whining? No, that maybe an indication of another problem. Plugging the system into a single power strip channels the systems grou... | |
| Signs of poor electricity in home...? I haven't read all the responses so far. I had a similar affliction and it turned out to be a loose connection from the house wiring to an outlet that wasn't in use but on the same circuit leg.Plug the entire system into a power strip and the stri... | |
| Class "D" amp? I do not have a clue. Do you? I too have had Bel Canto's Ref 1000's in my system. IMO their power and overall presentation seem very well designed when paired with my Eidolon's. In the June / July issue of TAS Nelson Pass gives, what I consider, an experienced and gracious opi... | |

| Tube vs. Solid State-Basic Question Kingmacaw, interesting antic dote. I too experienced low wattage tube power using Marantz 8B's and DIY JBL 4530 15" Scoops in the early 60's. The system was a monster to transport and setup but it was way louder than anything commercially availabl... | |
| paradigm servo 15 v2 for a small room. By itself it could be problematic but with proper EQ you can run anything. I had two 18" Servo Drives in my smallish HT room for a month and they sound great. I was able to use the Velodyne SMS EQ from my DD18's as well as the room correction from... |
