| Power Conditioners I went with very recently with a PSAudio Duet Power Center for $299.00. I guess you can call it a passive unit. It filters the A/C power and a surge protector far better than the mass market protectors out there. It also provides four 120VAC outle... | |
| Rotel 1072 vs. Arcam CD73 The Rotel RCD-1072 employs an 18 bit DAC but don't let that fool you just because it's not a 24 bit. I love mine and as I've said in a number of other threads, I believe it excels at playing smooth jazz (i.e. Boney James, Lee Ritenour, Larry Carlt... | |
| Afraid of too much bass... I agree with Onhwy61. Your room is not small and the 816V's, being 2-1/2 way floorstanders with a low point of 39hz, could turn out to be just the perfect set without a powered subwoofer for music. For HT, you may need to add a sub. I have B&W... | |
| Need advice choosing a complimentary CD Player Could you tell us how you like it, how well does it do with rock and roll, smooth jazz, classic rock, and overall punch, slam, and bass ext? Also, what was the list price? Is this more of a polite CD player for say classical music or can it rock w... | |
| B&W vs PSB Looking at the specs for both speakers, it's important to compare but of course listening to both is vital.PSB Synchrony One B&W CDM 7NT30hz to 20,000hz 40hz to 20,000hz90 dB sensitivity 90dB sensitivity4 ohms nominal impedance 8 ohms nominal ... | |
| 602s3 B&W Good question. I almost bought a pair back in 2005 but went with the DM601 S3's then upgraded to the DM603 S3's in 2007. However I always regretted not buying these as I was extremely impressed with the 602's. Could be that they are the last of th... | |
| Subwoofer- 10" or 12" for music only system? Is this specifically for music, home theater, or both? The size or diameter of the subwoofer is only one part of the criteria to select the correct model. Size of your room, brand of your present audio system, amount of watts best for your room, h... | |
| Need advice choosing a complimentary CD Player In all respect, I must disagree with Foster_9. My Rotel RCD-1072 is a fabulous player and it does in fact reproduce smoothness and refinement particularly with smooth jazz, straight ahead jazz, etc. Check out the reviews on this player at audiorev... | |
| Recievers or Amps and surround sound Arp:Yes, definetely get yourself a copy of Robert Harley's book and leave it on your coffee table or out in the open in your listening room. That's what I do. It's jam packed with information. He did an outstanding job with it.His other book is ca... | |
| Recievers or Amps and surround sound Well, let me take a stab at this one but not sure it's 100% accurate. I've been studying my book for an answer on this. Best way I can describe it is that a power amplifier, whether it be 2 channel integrated or multi-channel surround sound amp or... | |
| Importance of Center Channel in small room Yes, even in a smaller room, the cc speaker does improve overall soundstage and imaging when it comes to playing music in surround sound or even 3 channel as for Tiger above. No question about it. As I built my HT system over time (as funds allowe... | |
| Which speaker cable for upgrade Thanks everyone. Excellent info and recommendations. I should have specified the type of B&W's I have. They're not ones with the the diamond tweeters. They are two DM603 S3's, HTM61 center, ASW600 sub, two M-1's for surrounds. In light of this... | |
| Tweeter height Good topic. According to Robert Harley in his book, The Complete Guide to High End Audio:"Typically, the loudspeaker will be brightest (i.e. have the most treble) when your ears are at the same height as the tweeters or on the tweeter axis. Most t... | |
| Van Morrison remasters coming soon.... This is great news. I've been a fan since 1974 and have most of his CD's. But yes the earlier albums are terribly recorded such as Hard Nose the Highway, His Band and the Street Choir, St. Dominick's Preview, Moondance, A Period of Transition, Liv... | |
| powervar power conditioners I just purchased a PSAudio "Duet" Power Center today and will let all of you know how I find it over the coming months. Have my Rotel A-V receiver and CD player connetected to it. There is about a 100 hour break in period. While it's not considere... |
