| Best multi channel amp and processor good for 2 channel listening. THD, IMD, noise floor are all technical measurements that help engineer a good product. However, all electronics will sound different and after 20 years of listening, I really don't pay attention to these measurements. I have tested Bryston 7B3,... | |
| Best multi channel amp and processor good for 2 channel listening. Pretty much all amps will measure flat and accurate. However, I stopped focusing on "measurements" a long time ago. Some measurements will help, but they will never tell you how an amp sounds. Much of how an amp sounds is how the input stage an... | |
| Best multi channel amp and processor good for 2 channel listening. I assumed you would use the Luxman integrated as part of a "hybrid" system. This means that you setup a normal HT processor and connect the left/right output to a left/right "theater bypass" input on the Luxman integrated. Alternatively, if the ... | |
| Best multi channel amp and processor good for 2 channel listening. the Luxman is voiced on the warm side, so if you wanted to pair an HT amp with that, I would go for the Parasound A31 3-channel. The Bryston is going to be too bright/thin in comparison to the Luxman. | |
| Best multi channel amp and processor good for 2 channel listening. I have tested several amps, one of them being Bryston 7B3 monoblocks. They are very nice amps, but they are definitely faster and brighter/thinner then some other amps. They are also just about as close to "Class B" amps as you can get. The Bry... | |
| Best multi channel amp and processor good for 2 channel listening. The Bryston Cubed "B3" series is a very fast amp. Don't get me wrong, It is very high resolution and an excellent performer, but it will sound bright and lean on the bass/midbass if you pair it with a very fast preamp/processor, such as the Anthe... | |
| Suggestions for Class D amplifiers with Marantz AV7704 and B&W cdm9nt combo for HT. In addition, some of these comments were describing older Class D circuits. The frequency response of these circuits were dictated by the impedance curve of the speaker (where the impedance drops down very low in the bass/midbass area). Result c... | |
| Suggestions for Class D amplifiers with Marantz AV7704 and B&W cdm9nt combo for HT. lacking body, volume, air, midrange bloom, full mid-bass & bass power and overall musicality in comparison to very high quality analog or class A & AB designs This is a true thing and most of today's Class D amps will suffer from this... | |
| SQ : Anthem receiver vs. processor Eric, did you see the Krell S1200U up for sale at $2199? It's not a 3D model, which means that it probably has the HDMI 1.3 board, but it's a great price. | |
| Emotiva equipmet, how good is it? I have had pretty much all the generations of Emotiva amplifiers. I would say they are very excellent for the money and actually compete at a higher level. However, everyone likes a slightly different sonic signature.As far as the comments about... | |
| SQ : Anthem receiver vs. processor In receiver land, you generally want the biggest receiver so that you have the largest power supply. This will give you the most bass/midbass power and also have smoother sound overall. The increase of watts/channels is the reason why the manufa... | |
| Krell HTS 7.1 blown away The full manual can be found on Krell's website and is listed as "Home Theater Standard 7.1 Surround Preamp/Processor":http://www.krellonline.com/owner-s-reference-archive.html To show the onscreen menu for configuration, the HTS 7.1 requires a vi... | |
| Beryllium-Copper: How safe? Keep in mind that beryllium copper connectors are generally plated with either gold, silver or rhodium (sometimes very heavily plated - as in the case with Furutech). So, even though beryllium alloy may have a slight risk of being toxic, you woul... | |
| Side Speakers with Limitations I'm not sure that Monitor Audio would be a good match with those JBL 4367. The Monitor Audio are very bright and exacting (similar to the KEF in a way). The JBL are a deep horn loaded speaker. I can see how the older B&W DM17 was a pretty g... | |
| Warmer sounding Solid State Yup, Parasound is definitely warm. It generally has pretty good high frequency response (depending on speaker), but it will have a little slower attack on the midrange. |
