| Is the center the center ?? If you are only concerned about the quality of the dialog from the "sweet spot" then you would be better off not using a center. Phantom mode works great when there is only one person and you would swear dialog is coming from the screen. If you wo... | |
| Why Is Krell the a bad work??? Everyones tastes are different. My personal opinion is that at first I love the crisp dynamics and powerful bass of Krell amps. I feel the sound is true and very exciting for the first 20 minutes or so depending on the material played. It is after... | |
| Help deciding on DD/DTS Pre-amp If you don't want to spend much (less than $1,700 used mint) and don't need video switching I would look into the Meridian 565. It is not very user friendly and there is only 1 or 2 digital inputs but if it is the latest version, 6.1 or better I b... | |
| UPS Question/Problem UPS can be a terror on audio equiptment. I try to avoid sending or receiving anything from them unless it is an air shipment but even then you are better off going with Fed-Ex. My advice to you is try and be nice with the seller since you may not ... | |
| Plinius 8150i inegrated or Bryston 4BST Definately go with the Plinius. The Bryston is a fine amp but I personally like the Plinius better. For just movies the MC-1 is outstanding but it definately would be the week link when it comes to music so you would be best to try and eliminate i... | |
| Meridian 861 or Theta Casablanca II ??? I do not own the Meridian 861 but I sure as hell wish I did. A friend of mine replaced a Proceed AVP with the 861 and it blew him away. I had a Meridian 565 7.1 and I loved it but it was too difficult to use at times. I replaced it with a Proceed ... | |
| Lexicon MC-1 vs. high-end DAC While the MC-1 is awesome in home theater it is poor as a stereo pre-amp. I was really hoping Lexicon would improve stereo performance with the MC-1. You would be better off using an outboard DAC and pre-amp for stereo performance. I am using a Pr... | |
| CD direct to Amp/Current TAS issue ? To achieve the best possible sound you must get a CD player that uses an analog volume control like the Wadia, Theta or Resolution Audio. Many other cd players use digital volume controls that just throw away bits to reduce volume. Great Pre-amps ... | |
| M&K MX 5000 THX MkII vs Velodyne HGS-18 Kgb540 is right on with the recomendation of the HSU subs. I have a HGS-18 but I also have a pair of the HSU TN-1225 that I decided to add since I had a extra amp lying around. They are great with movies but I still only use the HGS-18 when I am j... | |
| Most important link: Source? Pre-amp?or? I have to agree with the speaker/room interface. This is most noticeable when you listen to speaker's at a dealers soundroom then at home, they hardly ever sound the same and most of the time worse provided that your dealer has a well treated room... | |
| M&K MX 5000 THX MkII vs Velodyne HGS-18 They are both great subs but if you are 70% HT then definately get the HGS-18. It has tons of extension and if you set the crossover low enough it works very well for music. | |
| Dedicated stereo to HT--advice? If you are looking to add an awesome center channel for your system I have a Thiel MCS1 which uses the same midrange/tweeter as you CS 2.3. In a home theater environment the most important speaker is the center since close to 70% of the sound in m... | |
| Best thtr/musc preamp/amp sep's for If you are looking to spend $6,000 tops for a processor pre-amp and amps then you might want to look into the Parasound AVC-2500 since it does include component switching. If it were my money I would look for a Proceed AVP used for around $3,200 a... |
