| Just Rec'd the OPPO DVD player today I have had the Oppo for less than a year. Then they sent me an updated remote (much better!)which was much needed. I stuck a Dianne Krall dvd-audio in there last night, and the sound was great. I usually listen to cds with my denon 1650 cd player.... | |
| The best CD Player for the money I'm in with TexasDave and the Denon 1650AR. Glad to know my great deal is even greater than I thought. I might get a universal for the sacd/dvdaudio, but the Denon is a beast.. | |
| Harmony Remote Control I like my 880, but am still tweaking with it. It won't turn on my Denon 1650AR CD player, nor my Rotel 1095 amp; it keeps telling me to turn on the cd player! further, I have to use the Samsung remote to switch from tv/sat to dvd. I figure this is... | |
| Best $2000 6 channel Surround Receiver I too have an Acurus Act 3, with an upgraded board, for which I paid 350.00 on audiogon. It gives great HT and even greater 2 channel sound. I have a Rotel 1095 to drive my thiel 2.2's, so I would have to say that Flrnlamb is a smart guy! | |
| Amp for Thiel CS2's I have 2.2's and get great results from a Rotel 1095 200wpc into 5 amp. Its a high current amp. I've had poor results with the old mac 2200, and ok results with the yamaha dsp a1 (120x5). Thiels are wonderful speakers, but bring power.... | |
| Samsung DLP - best choice for the Money I bought a Samsung HLN 50 " DLP from Best Buy in '03. They matched the offer on AVS forum's source at that time. And, they threw in a 3 year extended service, thank goodness for that. Samsung has so many models coming out that its a "parts madness... | |
| Best 7.1 pre amp used or demo for 2000.00??? Well,I had no interest in the little 1098 screen either. I have to squint enough to read the back panel on those things. I had figured on the 1068 or the Outlaw 990, but the meridian is top notch,with very good upgrade software. Haven't looked at ... | |
| Thiel Powerpoints for front speakers? Cargen, that is the real thiel you got there. I agree about the scs 3's, although I have the older scs's as center and as rear surrounds on a 5.1 system, with thiel 2.2's as mains;I have a velodyne ULD-II sub and a Rotel 1095 amp. I'm romancing va... | |
| Best 7.1 pre amp used or demo for 2000.00??? I've been looking at the Rotel 1068 to go with my Rotel 1095 but have been already attacked(a pre-purchase attack!)by upgrade-itis and am examining a nice deal on a Meridian 561. Or a 568, which is a little more dough. Any thoughts on the Meridien... | |
| Receiver or amp/pre amp for Thiel 03a's I had a pair of 03a's for close to 20 years, driven with a Ps audio elite. It was the perfect match. If you could find one it'd be worth your while. The ps audio was noted for its high current, and its power was more than sufficient for the 03's.. |
