Cary Cinema 11 Quirks?
I think the volume going up, which could ruin your amplifier, and blow out speakers, is enough to avoid this! Such things should never occur with high-end gear! This is one reason I stick with my Krell HTS 7.1. If you do not need HDMI and can mana... 
Accuphase or Esoteric?
If you have the other high-end gear you will really hear these, then, having both, I would say no CD and SACD stereo player beats Accuphase. The Esoteric seems more dynamic, and the DV 50s is the best kept secret in hybrid SACD playback.Here is ho... 
The best speaker you ever heard?
I was reading, someone had the Infinity IRS as front speakers, and the IRS Beta as surrounds, with, I think, IRS Gamma as the center. I think this is a bit crazy.First, there are more practical and perhaps better sounding speakers available today,... 
The Best New HT Processor
Thanks for all the response. Right now, i am leaning more towards the krell. I have decided to keep the ARC and do what Dbphd suggested, and run my audio players to the ARC and have one decent fully balanced processor, and the Krell seems to be co... 
Why is 2 Channel better than multi-channel?
What you have now is pretty good. I have near the same in my bedroom; Denon 4802 with three channel power amp. front and surround from the Denon, and centre and two back on amp, which are 4 ohms, and amp does well with load.Run the 7.1 analogue ex...

The best speaker you ever heard?
The infinity IRS I listened to had 16 EMITs per front and back, total of 32. I later built what I had called the mini-IRS, using 9 EMIMs and 8 per side EMITs. These speakers were way better than the Infinity RS1/A/B, and when I mentioned it to the... 
Two-channel is inferior to multi-channel, no?
True Metal, very true 
The Best New HT Processor
I agree with you about the more constant changes with digital formats, yet it would not bother me much, since my health is poor and I am now several years past Medicare age.It would be nice if there where a box one could buy, which had about ten H... 
The Best New HT Processor
yes, I think the Bryston SP3 is the best choice. No doubt the Classe SSP 800 is also very good; I have liked Classe gear for years, and still have a Classe SSP 25, which can best the sound of most SS pre-amps. Also, I made an error; I meant the Ca... 
Why is 2 Channel better than multi-channel?
It is the way we hear. Two channel make one sound with three dimension. I looked into SACD two channel was best; when more came out as multichannel, and I have found the best in NOT movie set-up, but two further out and wider ambient speakers.You ... 
Two-channel is inferior to multi-channel, no?
Notso , stereo is supposed to sound three dimensional,ad d to it, there has to have been something wrong to begin withthis is for music, non consider movies

Love to hear bout old systems, i have an old Denon 4802, with a little Acurus 100.3, love that little amp. I use it to take some of the load off the Denon, as they do wear out. The newer Denon have not the power amplifier you find in this one,o r ...

The Martin Logan is mainly on the stereo side, they are called Ethos. The rear speakers are also Martin Logan Scripts.The main front speakers are B&W CDM 7NT, and the centre is called HTM7, and the surround are somewhat similar to Atlantic Tec...
