| Subwoofer Placement Of the two, I'd go with option 1. I wouldn't place sub-woofers behind your L&R main speakers especially with only 10" of space. This could impede the LFE's eminating from the two subs. Placing one sub 4' out in front of one the two main speake... | |
| Which CD player? Margot, while I'm not personally familiar with Rogue amps, I am up on SACD players and hopefully can make some useful recommendations. Your Rogue Sphinx amp is an excellent piece of equipment and has won awards too. Since this is a two channel amp... | |
| Two subwoofers Thanks all. Wow 5 subs in a single HT system. Whoa and I thought two was more than most. Yes that can be quite tricky. Bob what I meant by out of synch is that perhaps the two different subs were not in exact phase. Perhaps the drivers could be ou... | |
| Of all your gear, what piece impresses you most? My B&W 683 3-way loudspeakers !! | |
| Need to upgrade but what to get need advice As I've stated before, I love Marantz products but their published watts/channel data in AVRs can be misleading. If you read the specs closely, they'll state the watts/channel/8ohms but "two channels driven". You can figure that in reality, 70% of... | |
| Subwoofer to match my B&W 601s2,CC6s2 and DM600i Flatsmaster, you may have already made your purchase. I haven't been on Audiogon for a while. Since your loudspeakers are B&W, then keep it simple and don't get overwhelmed with the plethora of subwoofers on the market. Stick with B&W. Tha... | |
| Audiophile Grade Multi channel Power Amplifier I just invested in a brand new Rotel RMB-1555 multi-channel amp (5 channels), 120 watts/ch into 8 ohms all channels driven. This is a conservative rating. It's breaking in beautifully and I am extremely pleased with its natural warm and smooth sou... | |
| SACD Multi-Channel down-mixing? Thanks. I since found out that there is a setting in the set up menu of the Marantz UD5005 for down-sampling so it can be activated or turned off. This player outputs DSD through its HDMI circuit and does not down-mix it. | |

| The "Eagles" - Best Albums What you want to look for are any Eagles CDs that have been digitally remastered to 24-bit technology in the recent past. Many older recordings and albums are being digitally remastered to 24-bit which usually sounds great as compared to perhaps t... | |
| No new innovations in "Audio" at upcoming CES2014? As vinyl LPs and turntables continue to thrive and sell and will be prominent at CES2014, why are we so sure that CDs and SACDs are going away so quickly? Like LPs, I still want something tangible I can buy. I have absolutely no plans to stop buyi... | |
| Subwoofers hum - Vandersteen 2wq - can't stop it Have you considered trying Audioquest subwoofer cables? Each has a 3rd ground wire you can connect to a screw on the back of an amp or AVR for example on one end and and a screw on the back of your subwoofers on the other. This really does work we... | |
| Audioquest subwoofer cables I have two B&W subwoofers in my listening room. One is fed by an AQ Sub-A and the other by an AQ Sub-X, both approx the same distance in length. I honestly cannot tell the difference. I've tried to tell but can't No real need to spend anymore ... | |
| Rotel RSX-1067-Yamaha RX-V3000 or DSP-A1 Yes agreed with Tis49. Chivinnie is right in that your ears will be your best judge & jury so to speak. But you asked for feedback and opinions. For what it's worth, looking strictly at brands, manufacturers' resputations & integrity, resa... | |
| cd player not reading a disc? Laser dirty? That's a tough one. If you're cleaning the disc properly, then that eliminates this cause. How old is your player and did you ever consider purchasing one of those CD player laser disc cleaners? It's nothing more than a CD with a tiny micro brush ... |
