| Center Speaker matching Front Speakers Wow, that's a HARD one! lol. These things actually sound a lot like the classic horn loaded speakers of the 70's, like the JBL or Klipsch speakers. If space is not an issue for center channel, probably the best way is to see if you can get a us... | |
| Purchase a receiver or what? need your advice. As a preface for this system description, for all wiring (power cord, interconnect, speaker cable) I use some variation of solid-core OCC copper conductors and everything has Furutech rhodium plated connectors. Even use Furutech GTX/NCF rhodium ou... | |
| PS Audio Stellar Gain DAC/Pre-amp as first foray into separate pre-amp? Cool. One comment about Audio Sensibility. If you are looking at the Statement Silver or the Signature Silver DIN phono cables, I don't think you can get anything better (if silver is what you are after). I have experience with the Impact and ... | |
| $1,000 speakers for rock music? @adiuman58 - you might be on to something here. While the Elac Uni-Fi UF5 will be excellent speakers and much better sound quality than the JBL, they are rather low efficiency at only 85db and maxes out at 140 watts.---I would give the nod to the... | |
| Speaker Recommendation: 20K range Okay guys, before anyone puts forth more speaker recommendations, let's look at his electronics. First, the Focal speakers are one of the fastest responding speakers out there. Hence, they can sound bright and thin unless you have a very warm/th... | |
| replace HT receiver with newer H/T 4K receiver Many might think different, but in my opinion, Denon is very similar to all the other conventional receivers (onkyo, pioneer, sony). Yamaha are not bad sounding receivers - they are at least more natural sounding. The Denon has a very solid-stat... | |
| replace HT receiver with newer H/T 4K receiver @helomaech - are you trying to chase away new users here? We have a pretty good set of HT users. Even though most of the users are 2-channel and only post in the "Amps Preamps" thread. | |
| Accuracy vs. musicality A big part of this is personal preference for what kind of sound you want. You can definitely get the lush and liquid coloration of Class A amps. Or go towards the unique (but not accurate) coloration of most tube amps. In either case, it’s what m... | |
| Center channel speaker recommendations Go to ebay and search for "KEF LS50 Single". This will give you a few "single" LS50 speakers, a couple in white and one in black. Ranging from $535 to $641 shipped. ----For amplifier, you can get a brand new Emotiva PA-1 Balanced Class D monoblock... | |
| Cannot do 5.1 then does 3.1 make a difference or just stick to 2.1? I agree with big_greg that you could look at the Legacy Cinema HD. If money is not an issue and 10" is not too high, I would probably look at the Legacy Silverscreen HD instead, to keep the ribbon tweeter voicing that would match your Aeris. ---... | |
| Cannot do 5.1 then does 3.1 make a difference or just stick to 2.1? It's not too terribly bad to live with a 2.1 system, as long as you know the shortcomings. Essentially, like big_greg said, the vocals from movies will be a lot clearer if you have a dedicated center channel. There is a bigger reason why this is... | |
| Mcintosh power amp for 804 D2s How do you feel that they sound with the Marantz SR7012. The Marantz is going to have good body and punch/slam, but it is warm and the highs are rolled off. I think the McIntosh is going to have better resolution in the high frequencies, but it de... | |
| $1,000 speakers for rock music? The ELAC are going to be very hard to beat (if not impossible) for this amount of money. I heard the bargain basement Elac as well as mid level. They are all very excellent for sound quality, have an extremely well balanced sound, are not bright... | |
| Home Theater Receiver recommendations for B&W 803S? Well, then you definitely have your answer. Sounds like you really want this HTM1, so why not? lol | |
| PS Audio Stellar Gain DAC/Pre-amp as first foray into separate pre-amp? Heh, just like speakers, once you ask "what cable should I buy", you will get 18 different answers! lol. However, in all my R&D and testing, I have always found solid-core to just sound better than any stranded conductor cable. Audioquest p... |
