| Peachtree Audio 2.0 I’ve had a nova500 since mid December and (finally) really like it, it took a long time to run-in but that was with new everything (speakers, source, etc,) so I don’t think it’s fair to say the Peachtree is all to blame. Initially it sounded HOR... | |
| Looking for suggestions on best small footprint speaker under $4K Dynaudio Contour 20 or Special Forty. | |
| Speaker recommendation for Home Theater On a final note. I have to say that I really like the Nova500. It’s surprisingly good for an all-in-one. While it’s likely outgunned by Naim or SimAudio (insert your favorite gear carved out of billet aluminum), it’s like half (or more) the cos... | |
| Speaker recommendation for Home Theater Working on it. I received the repair kit from Magnepan a few weeks ago. Just need to find the time to pull the socks off and get to work. Thanks much for all your help. | |
| Speaker recommendation for Home Theater Thanks! I have a Vizio soundbar hooked up to the TV in my kids playroom. It works well and even matches the TV. Connected together with a $5 toslink cable. Voila... sound happens! | |
| Speaker recommendation for Home Theater Thanks for your sugg suggestion, I think it’s time for a change. I talked with Jim at Magnepan 10 years ago when I had my 1.6 rebuilt (already had it done once) and just am not up for doing it again. Steve | |
| Speaker recommendation for Home Theater Good advice. I’ll have a look! In the meantime I’ve taken a first step. 1. Dynaudio Contour 60 fronts and a 25c center2. Peachtree Audio Nova500 integrated for 2 channel listening3. HT-bypass for powering Contour 60 when watching movies4. Current ... | |
| Speaker recommendation for Home Theater I'm back. Long Thanksgiving holiday. Whew... I've decided to go with the Dynaudio Contour 60/25c combo for my mains and center channel – I liked 'em a lot! Since our last discussion, I've started to re-balance my listening habits. I really wa... | |
| $10k Speaker Cables?????????????? I suppose you could say entertaining such a purchase would be a nice problem to have. Personally, I'm just a few steps up from 12ga. lamp-cord. :-) | |
| Speaker recommendation for Home Theater Good suggestions. I have thought about Atmos in the future but haven't heard a good setup yet. I need to find a place (not Best Buy) to get educated. I'll have a look at the AV8802. Getting an updated processor (that sounds better) for around ... | |
| Speaker recommendation for Home Theater Thank you all for your thoughts. I’ve put together a short-list of the speakers I’d like to audition - a bit limited to where I live but so far we have: 1. Dynaudio Contour series2. KEF R-series3. Monitor Audio silver lineNot crazy about in-wall ... | |
| Speaker recommendation for Home Theater The Monitor Audio Platinum seem like good contenders. I live in Boston and just searched for a dealer to hopefully audition and I’m up for a long drive (over 100 miles). I’ll put them on the short-list and plan a road trip. Thanks! | |
| Speaker recommendation for Home Theater I also don’t want to spend money just to spend money. Don’t get me wrong, I appreciate craftsmanship and artistry as much as the next obsessed audiophile but i also want to focus on value. What sounds the best for the $$ since I have a dozen oth... | |
| Speaker recommendation for Home Theater That’s what I was thinking but can be flexibile. I’m also looking to upgrade my projector and electronics but don’t see being able to afford to do it all at once. I’m looking at probably Sony 295 or comparable JVC on the projector and don’t have... | |
| Speaker recommendation for Home Theater $15k is for speakers and hopefully cables... |
