What speakers would be best for Krell KAV2250 w/28
Not sure if you still want input on this topic - I have a 400x1 SACD combo - I am told that it is similar sounding to the Kav separates - First if you have the amp in a conditioner like Monster - That is the biggest mistake you can make with krell... 
Hi-Fi Power Conditioner ?
That's easy - Shunyata Hydra's with 20 amp Helix cords - One of the Best - FOR SURE !!!!!! 
Home Theater 101 - Subwoofer question?
I would check out REL Subs - First they are excellent and second, they have a Neutrik connection which hooks up directly to your speaker outlets on your amp - they also have a LFE if you did have a sub out on a different receiver - both connection... 
DTS-HD Master Audio
That does not sound correct to me - The benifit of the new formats is that they are not compressed - That might be the downside of the PS3 - The Bitsream should not be compressed - that is the whole point... 
DTS-HD Master Audio
Hello - You can't bitstream Dolby true Hd or DTS HD Master Audio over a Coax. or optical connection - The new formats carry way to much information for the those digital connections - The only way to bitstream is via HDMI - If your Bluray has on b... 
Killing BluRay, new Oppo BR 83
Holy Moly - Bluray quality kills DVD - And I'm not just talking about Video - First Thats 1080p Vs. 480i or 480p with progressive scan - BUT ANOTHER HUGE DIFFERENCE are the new AUDIO Formats - Dolby True HD & DTS Master Audio - These offer unc... 
Any thoughts on the new Marantz HT separates?

New Fuse Thread . . .
OK - I swapped out the Cheap Fuses with the Hi Fi tuning Fuses - not knowing what music to choose for the comparison - I decided upon a well recorded rock song with a "Hot" mixed high end - "Driven to Tears" by The Police. I felt this was a good c...

High Quality Fuses in Amps
I can't understand how anyone could not be, at least curious about the fuses - I ordered a pair for my krell 400xi - Even got them for $5.00 LESS per fuse - I can't wait to try them - The people at krell think I'm wasting my money - I'll let yawl ... 
New Fuse Thread . . .
WOO WEEE !!! I have ordered 2 fuses for my Krell Integrated - I don't understand why anyone in the hobby would have a problem trying them - even if only to go through my favorite music one more time - I even got them for $5.00 less per fuse, holid... 
High Quality Fuses in Amps
Here's my 2 cents - Everything makes a difference - speaker cables, interconnects, power cords etc - sometimes subtle - sometimes drastic - changes are not necessarily better or worse - just different - I find that there are often trade offs - som... 
Pioneer Blu Ray Player BDP 05 FD
Hi - Just a FYI for those who own the BDP 95FD - There is a firmware update that will bring the player to the latest 3.30 version - makes the player much faster - That is a lot less time for the movie to begin - also corrects some compatibility is... 
Any thoughts on the new Marantz HT separates?
I have heard many great things about the new AV 8003 - Mine is still sitting in its box waiting for me to purchase power - I opted not to get the Marantz Power - my speakers are 4 ohm, add to that long speaker wire to the rears and I believe the M...
