Multi channel much better than stereo?
Pete,What type of music do you listen too, normally. Also I value your oppinion in these matters and would love to hear your system. Just curious, did you audition the Proceed AVP before buying the Lexicon ? I will concede after many more hours of...

Your absolutely right Tireguy, sorry. 
Multi channel much better than stereo?
Pcc, If you got an extra $1,000 dollars lying around, putting a set of (Used of course) Aerius in the back will really improve an audio sound stage in 5.1 ch. Because I'm still in transition with my system I'm not using ML's in the rear right now ... 
Multi channel much better than stereo?
Thanks Pcc, We do have many things in common when it comes to the front end of a system. I too believe, one of the best stereo's I put together was bi-wiring the Aerius with tube amps. Infact, I had Quest's (Fronts) Logos, Aerius (Surrounds) with ...

Pcc,Explain in alittle more detail your system for me, Id be real interested to hear what you have done. I know it is impossible to reach my limit because there isn't one. One of the big improvements I can make is in building the right room. I hav...

Pcc question? I don't understand, why do I need another pre-amp ? I have read so many reviews that stated, refering to my AVP, that in order to get a better pre-amp for "Stereo" I would need to spend upwards of $15,000. That was the main reason fo...

Urban's response:Cause trouble ? Start fights ? Inflammatory ? Did I miss anything ? Just trying to learn here; after all, the only way to truly learn is to question "Smart people" that disaggree with you. Hence, my reasoning for being in the audi...

Urban's respnse:Ok now we are getting somewhere,thanks for all of good posts. Tireguy I'm sorry about the Adcom stuff (Mis-read an earlier set of posts ) I'm not a jerk who always thinks I'm right. I wanted to make a powerful statement "Your wrong... 
Stereo sounds better than 5.1?
Follow up:From thread author.Let me explain further, I'm also saying I would rather listen to the stereo surround version extracted from 2 channel over just the regular stereo version. Notice I said, "If properly set up". The new surround versions... 
absolute best component you ever owned
Tivo, (TV personal recorder). I own about $30,000.00 worth of audio equipment. For $500 (300 for unit, 200 for lifetime service)Tivo is definitely the best bang for the buck. Any quests that spend anytime using my Tivo are hooked and go buy one. T... 
Any TIVO users out there??
No Tivo does not record in 6 channels, It is designed for recording Television!!! It does that very well too, unlike vcr's that record 2/3 of the tv picture, tivo records the entire picture, with great effects ( pause, slow mo, fast forward ) Tivo... 
Any TIVO users out there??
I have owned TiVo for 6 mo. The modem in the unit went on the blink last week. TiVo is sending me a new unit as we speak, this was sort of disappointing but hopefully this does not represent a problem in quality control. The point: I am going craz...
