| What is your upgrade philosophy? Thanks to all for the responses so far.Craig, i've done as you suggest might be the appropriate way. I found speakers I really liked and now am looking to optimize the surrounding/supporting gear. It's both fun and daunting. I find much appeal and... | |
| Evo owners What speakers work well with your amp? Have a friend that has gone from Classe/KEF to Classe/B&WNautilus to BelCanto/B&W - I'll see if I can get him to post some thoughts, but I know he's REALLY happy. | |
| Suggestions on replacement AV processor... Many/most prepro's these days will have an analog pass-through for your 2-ch pre and whatever source components are hooked to it. So you don't necessarily have to physically separate your systems, except ... The worst part of an integrated system ... | |
| Your Advice on a good HT receiver The receiver has a 4/8 ohm switch, which is a current limiter, telling me it may be a bit challenged by tough loads. With dips to 1.3 ohms, I would NOT try to run them full-range and loud, but you may get away with having a sub taking the low freq... | |
| Best A/V Receiver Under 700 Yes, you are right ... my slip. | |
| Your Advice on a good HT receiver Sarah,I agree the Outlaw 1050 is a great bargain at $499 (and I know someone selling a used one at $350 if it isn't already gone), but it is only 65wpc and is a little limited on digital inputs. Website is www.outlawaudio.comMusically, I think a u... | |
| Your Advice on a good HT receiver Can you psot the efficiency and impedance infor on the Aeon? Most M-L present a somewhat difficult load for a receiver. Combination of a little lower cost receiver and separate 2-ch amp might make sense. | |
| Newbie question.. Preamp and Sub Jin,To amplify (sorry :-) what Greg said, the sub is inserted between your pre and your speakers by either using line level (RCA) inputs/outputs on the sub (inserted between pre and amplifier) or speaker level inputs/outputs (inserted between ampl... | |
| 5 ch amp decision- opinions please I agree with Tim (the other Tim ... well, this one too unless I'm schizo). I'd guess you are setting all your speakers to small (running less than full range), in which case many of these amps are overkill wrt power. You could downsize and put mor... | |
| Best A/V Receiver Under 700 Outlaw is manufactured in NH. Website www.outlawaudio.com. They seem to make very high value products, and have a loyal following. Check out the 950 prepro (hopefully) coming out by year's end. Good luck. | |
| Most compatable amp for ACI Sapphire III Lisa,Sorry to hear of your experience at the B&M. I'm here in Cary/Raleigh where they make both Soliloquoy and Cary, and you missed out on what could have been a very nice-sounding combo. But I've heard great things about Mike Dzurko and the A... | |
| 7.1 DTS/ES, DD/EX, DPLII Seperates OR Denon 4802 Wait a month for the Outlaw 950 ... all of that for $899. They'll have package pricing on the new 770 7-ch amp also, or you can pick up some used amps. | |
| What would you do differently? Kelly,A friend once described owning a big sailboat akin to sitting on a block of ice in the shower and throwing 20's in the toilet. I don't think of owning one of those and a pony as a cheaper alternative to this hobby ;-)Although my marriage is ... | |
| Reliability Is this really all that much of an issue? In almost 25 years of ownership I've had one "defect" (a speaker selector switch LONG out of warranty) and the normal belt/cartridge replacements (including after one of the cats attacked a spinning record... | |
| What is causing my speaker hum? Yes the most likely cause is the cable tv. you can correct this with 75 > 300 > 75 ohm adaptors. if it is ground loop in the ac, i would hesitate to go to cheater plugs, which floats (eliminates) the grounding of your equipment - this is not... |
