bmpnyc,sounds like you may be able to help me.I guess I am fortunate to have the space to keep them seperate.My fondness of Tube sound requires both.Also need to have something to do when the Kids and wife get their Muchmusic/MTV fix.Not my cup of tea.I have Humble HT setup and I am looking to make some upgrades.I have a Marantz Sr 880 Reciever I am looking for suggestions on a Sub.I have Coincident Triumph for front and center Channel and a 20 year old pair of EPI 100's for rears.
I sure hope theses new formats do deliver.CD did not.If you speak to the averge person (Non-Audiophile)they looked shocked and think your an idiot when you tell them analog sounds better.
Point is they act this way because the mainstream press has told them CD is better.
I hope the new formats are better and not that people think they are becasue they where told to belive this.I am not speaking about people on this site in general.
I am speaking about the average person.Its the average person who needs to buy into these formats for them to be succesful.
I want to see 500.00 SACD/DVD-A/DVD/V/CDR all in one machine and in a couple of years see 199.00 units on the shelf.
When this happens the software will pour onto the shelvs.You wont have to make the descsion on which format you want.
Average Joe got burned on Beta/Vhs.He does not want to get burrned again.
Theses new formats wont survive if they are geared to Audiophiles only.
Take my comments in context.They are based on my fondness for tubes.Putting 5 tube amps in a HT makes for to warm a room.
So if you have 50K to spend and 2 rooms to do it in keep them seperate.If you dont,remember you will be making compromises between 2 channel and 5 channel.
