| subwoofer suggestions 01-01-14: Knownothing"It is the RW-8. It has worked well in a small room for music, but perhaps it is not really up to mid-fi HT duty in a medium sized room, even if just to supplement the surround channels."I did not mean to be insulting with my ... | |
| subwoofer suggestions Knownothing,Which 8" Klipsch sub are you using? If it is the XW-300d, that is a very musical little sub. The only other 8" Klipsch sub I can think of is the RW-8 which I had for a little while and I thought it was junk. Very little output and then... | |
| subwoofer suggestions This baby here is a stick of dynamite. If you want a "smallish" sub with a bunch of impact and very musical and don't mind used, this may be the way to go.http://app.audiogon.com/listings/subwoofers-velodyne-dd10bg-in-cherry-powered-subwoofer-2013... | |
| subwoofer suggestions Sealed subs, SVS SB13 Ultra($1599.00) or Rythmik Audio E15HP($1349.00). Ported sub but with option to run sealed, SVS PB12-Plus($1399.00).Any of these mentioned should meet most of your needs.Bill | |
| Arcam vs Marantz vs NAD receiver? If you are considering adding an outboard amp in the future, maybe the most feature laden model would be the one to consider. My understanding is that Marantz, Arcam, and NAD all do pretty well for 2-channel music.Bill | |
| Arcam vs Marantz vs NAD receiver? I can't speak for the Arcam or Marantz, but I know that NAD receivers have the dynamics and punch that I desire. Now my only personal experience is with my 2004 flagship T773 which is a 52+ pounds beast that has a fantastic amp section. Even thoug... | |
| How would I integrate a powered sub or not? Joe,The sub preout is not an amplified channel so yes you would have to use a powered sub or an outboard amp/passive subwoofer combo.Bill | |
| Klipsch Chorus II or Forte II - Secondary system Get the forte II's. "Manageable" size compared to the Chorus II's and IMO one of the most balanced speakers Klipsch has ever built. They will shine with the best classic rock and at the same time be as subtle with acoustic guitar. Very well rounde... | |
| Onkyo 805 receiver no sound - any clues? "The Denon is also a fine model, just be aware that ANY receiver you get these days will not have the amp section equal to the old 805."Well not really true. The new Cambridge Audio 751R and NAD T787 both have rock solid powerful amp sections. Tho... | |
| What's Up with ATI? Did you ask the ATI rep if they are still mfr'ing B&K amps? My understanding is that they will produce B&K amps to B&K specs. I can understand ATI not doing the B&K pre/pro thing but not to shut down B&K amp production all toge... | |
| Suggestions on using a Roku w/external DAC? Samsung SMART TV streaming Pandora One through Cambridge Audio 840C CD player/DAC upsampling to 24-bit/384kHz and on to NAD T175HD pre/pro. As good as the NAD's built in DACs are, much better overall sound quality going through the 840C.I can't im... | |
| Best Universal Player as transport for under $500? IMO, the best non Blu-ray universal player you can buy(used)for under $500.00 is the Integra DPS-10.5(Onkyo DV-SP1000). These players are rock solid(26.3lbs) and have absolutely the smoothest disc mechanism I have ever come across. The Integra msr... | |
| Best movie to see what your HT AUDIO will do. As far as scenes go, Flight of the Phoenix, sandstorm/plane crash scene, is my LFE demo clip every time.Entire movies, hard to argue with Transformers series.Bill | |
| NAD av receiver and Martin Logan Spires If you are speaking about the T787 or last generation T785, they both do have a very good amp section for an AVR. This guy on AVS uses a T787 with ML EFX's and seems to be very pleased.http://www.avsforum.com/t/1432396/anyone-have-an-nad-t787/30Bill | |
| B&K Reference 200.7 S2 any idea on fair price? I would say if with box, manual, etc. and 8/10 condition, $900.00 to $1100.00 would be a fair range.Bill |
