| Tube amp selection- for Magnepan 1.6QR This guy (David) is the Magnapan and tube nutball. His demo room is incredibly reflective but I've never heard Maggies sound better, and I don't even like Magnapan. The last time I was in there he had some 2,0's facing each other or facing the sid... | |
| Anyone know about the Pathos Cimema X integrated? It's been available for a while now. http://www.pathosacoustics.com/cinemax.htmlI've become an HT audio snob, I've been spoiled by mid-fi 7.1. Going back to even SOTA 5.1 would be tuff. | |
| Buy new TV now or wait for 3D technology? The Pioneer Krp 500m plasma is the hot deal out there. You absolutly DON'T need a dark room to use a plasma of this quality. If your worried about obsolescence a plasma has a much longer life cycle than LCD. With any LCD you get motion blur, it's ... | |
| How to unleash the optimum power of a receiver? Speaker location and some room treatment could provide a great deal of improvement. One common mistake is the position of the three front speakers. Many people pay no attention to the plane of these three speakers which can throw their timing way ... | |
| Power conditioner needed???? I had a similar problem that manifested in my Acoustic Image electric Bass amplifier yet every thing else on that circuit seemed to work fine. Being a switching amplifier the low or lack of VAC caused the amp to completely shut down and reboot. Ev... | |
| Looking for a good 5.1 AVR Cerrot, I find your dissatisfaction with ICE and or class D amplification's presentation completely understandable. In your first post it seemed to me that it was a typical dismissal of class D that so many give without ever actually living with t... | |
| Looking for a good 5.1 AVR Cerrot, respectfully, I can't disagree more. While tube, solid state, hybrid, and switching, amplifiers may have differences in their presentation, even in their own categories, your statement is simply to broad. Many people who have tried switchi... | |
| Looking for a good 5.1 AVR +1 Stereo. My SC-07 (almost the same receiver as the SC-05) replaced an Integra 5.3 (6.1 channel) receiver. Comparing just the audio sections the Pioneer is a clear winner IMO. | |
| HT receiver with parametric EQ The Classe' SSP-800 looks to be a very sophisticated and stellar processor. Classe's belief that room equalization has a limited ability to correct problems and introduces a host of other issues is somewhat understandable. On the other hand not in... | |
| Advice on Family Room Music/Movie System What is your first system? IMO, the over the fireplace location is the flat screen industries way of getting a large display in a household were the significant other is more concerned with putting the damn thing out of the way. It's right up ther... | |
| Is 7.1 better than 5.1 I disagree that a rooms size or shape is a reason to stick with 5.1. Have you heard of anybody going back to 5.1? Without room correction this could be an issue but after running room correction my small corner screen placed system simply came to ... | |
| Help with sub upgrade JL's are a fine product for sure. If I were considering a cabinet placement of both subs room EQ would be a big concern to me. JL's have an OK set up system but I would suggest the Velodyne SMS EQ component or simply going with Velodyne subs.As to... | |
| Pioneer Elite BDP-05FD I have this player feeding through an Elite 07 receiver then onto an Elite FD151 display. DVD's look better than they did with my old system but that's hardly a fair comparison. I saw very little, if any, difference between high dollar Audio Quest... | |
| Pioneer sc 07 owners? , just got one .Disapointed I picked up my last set of Comete es's for $800, I believe they are now discontinued. Go to the Triangle website, get a list of dealers and start looking, there should still be some available at a discontinued price. The beauty of these Comets is ... | |
| Pioneer sc 07 owners? , just got one .Disapointed Powering my matched 7.1 set of Triangle Comete es's the SC-07 had a distinct improvement over my previous receiver an Integra 5.3. The most obvious were its ability to play louder with the absence of fatigue and a much more palpable midrange. All ... |
