| Integra processors good? "I am not 100% sure on what to do"Join the club! I'm almost 100% certain none of us are either! - lol. But I'm glad it's all "helping", as you say.To answer your question about sound quality between two receivers, I would say it will depend a bit ... | |
| Can you help me select a pre/pro? In regards to 2 channel downmix for DD/multi, I presume most/all(?) processors do this if you configure for 2.1 channels anyway. I can't remember having an AV processor that didnt' have the ability to configure for 2 channels plus subwoofer, in wh... | |
| Can you help me select a pre/pro? "I am looking for a pre/pro with outstanding 2 channel performance...,and the ability to re-sample (or up-sample) standard CD digital output much like stand alone digital processors."I think some info must be clarified here. One, when you say outs... | |
| Integra processors good? On that note, to take advantage of the Audyssey processing, you really need to be using digital inputs anyway, and letting the preamp do all the digital conversion and processing. I think I'm right on this. I would assume most of your important in... | |
| Best Standard Def DVD Player under $8,000 used? No Johnnyb53, Tom and the other hi-end DVD/CD player Devotees are right! I've come to my senses. Dunno what I was thinking.Yep, they're correct. I've missed it. The players you've mentioned Johnnyb53 are all superior. We've just been deluding ours... | |
| Best Standard Def DVD Player under $8,000 used? Any upsampling of standard 16/44 is equivalent of upscaling 480p dvd's to 1080p...not the same.But that's OK! You all keep thinking that old cd and dvd is capable of transending higher rez and better digital. Again, after all, someone's gotta buy ... | |
| Best Standard Def DVD Player under $8,000 used? One word, Seditious3- Delusion! It's the equivelant of thinking your Krell reference CD player sounds better than a cheap SACD player/disc, basically. Sure you're Krell might do things like dynamic contrast, noise floor, etc, better. However in te... | |
| dedicated vs. book shelf The Klipsch bookshelf will be more critical of placement, and would need to DEFINITELY either be aimed directly at the listeners ears (Horns are very beamy, with steep waterfall plot), or re-EQ'd for proper tonality from listening position(s). In ... | |
| Home theater crossover question "I looked at the specs for the Infinity TSS-1100 satellite/subwoofer system, and now I do agree with Kal. Leave the crossover for the front left and right speakers at 200 Hz, if that is what the receiver selected in the auto-configuration"I dissag... | |
| Best Standard Def DVD Player under $8,000 used? "I personally think in most cases my KRELL standard def player will look better than $300 bluray. Everytime I see one at the store I think to myself that my Krell looksbetter..."Tom, I was jesting a bit about the $300 Blue Ray. Nonetheless, I've s... | |
| CES and T.H.E. 2009 - Is anyone going? It's so 2004, huh? Yes, all that "digital" hi-def audio/video content and HD Master recording stuff for movies is so passe! Who would buy any of that stuff anyway?!Yep, I agree with you, all that analog stuff is gunna make a come back! So is analo... | |
| CES and T.H.E. 2009 - Is anyone going? "...they had about $400k worth of gear around them (Clearaudio Statement table that even Clearaudio didn't have), but man, Diana Krall never sounded so good." If I have to spend $400k on audio gear just to hear Dianna Krall sound good, will someon... | |
| Best Bookshelf/Monitors Speakers? Suggestions I'd be looking a used pair of Wilson Cub's near that range, used. You'll not find more refined, efficient, dynamic, and detailed, with superb soundstage and imaging for your needs, I presume! Anyway, anything else and you're looking at lesser in l... | |
| Best Standard Def DVD Player under $8,000 used? We are all in AWE! We can't fathom such decisions. We are all here looking to buy $299 Blue Ray players!!! Just kidding.Actually, I don't understand what you believe you could get on any front with your search, personally? Not to avoid the questio... | |
| What has happened to NHT Xd and M6/T6????? I'm not so sure they sold so many of those active systems, personally. I could be way off the mark on that. I was scared away by the hot-rod combo of far out looking sub and race-car finish speakers, myself. Would have liked to see a less expensiv... |
