I have a Sony 755 dvd/sacd player. Its a great piece of equipment. Yes you need 6 additional cables or interconnects to play SACD's $$$$$$ (smile) Sacds come in several flavors...some have a 2 ch stereo tracks build in and can be played on normal 2 ch cd players. Check before you buy if...
I have a small room over my garage, with all sorts of wierd angles, sloping roof etc. I started with a SONY DA4ES, 7ch reciever and a 5.1 system (Dahlquist QX10 fronts, QX60C center, QX6 rear surrounds. I have two leather recliners against the back wall, the room is about 18 feet deep...
Paul, I have a PS Audio 200C 200w/ch AMP that I am selling that would do nicely and for your budget. I paid $1400 for the beast and am downsizing....will part with it for $400. I used it to drive Maggies, Mirage M1's, Vandersteens, and Dahlquist QX10's. Let me know if ur interested. Alex
Yeah Baby!! I have a set for several months now and whole heartedly concur with your analysis. When I listened to Norah Jones and Diana Krall I was in 7th Heaven, these speakers for the price are absolutley AWESOME. I use them for 2 ch and for HT. They are NOT Boomy in the least, and...
Angelo, This is the usual routine...there is so little sonic difference, that many of us have a hard time really discerning what is different (better/worse) etc... The 4ES to me sounds really great with my speakers (Dahlquist QX10's), If you tried different speakers you most likely will...
Bob, Congrats on you SONY 2ES, I own a 4ES and its been a really great piece of stereo / HT equipment. It just works so very well. The 2ES is a very capable system and it should give you years of service. I have not played with the Equilzer functions at all, and am running a pair of...
Angelo, I have a DA4Es, for the bucks its been a fine receiver, and still is. Why are you looking for another??? Is it that good to you?? Rex Carson!?!?! (SMILE!!)... Just got done listening to LARS ERSTRAND and four brothers. (cd-9402)AWESOME.... I am listening to them via the...
Check out the Dahlquist line of HT speakers at this URL. Link Removed Awesome sounding and great prices... Alex (search on Dahlquist,lots of posts on these here).
Hello, I spent around $1800 for a really great set of speakers from Dahlquist. I bought them from Marc at the Audioshop in Ottawa, Canada. URL: Link Removed DUE to the US Canadian dollar differential and NAFTA , NO VAT, 2 day fedex it was a great deal. Double Boxed. EXCELLENT...
Zack, Lee...
Thanks for the replies!! I finally understand it!!! Whooooa!
I found the really only useful thing to me about calibrating was it made me check to see if all speakers were playing at the same level from my listening spot/chair.
ALl theother stuff while very interesting doenst...
Ok,
My Turn!! (Smile).
If I read the last post right, when I set my speakers each via the receiver level control to for 75db at my seating position individually and the sub get a little boost, 78-80db, and then the volume control setting turns out to be -25db.
Then to get the 105 db i must...
Hello! I have a Da4ES also but never have noticed this anomoly. I have a set of Dahlquist QX10's, for my fronts and have them set to large. My sub is a matching dahlquist 10" powered. I use the LFE from the receiver to send the .1 to the mains and the sub. Switch on sub set to OFF or...
Rick! Congrats on the QX10's, they are really great and you cant knock the price / performance ratio here!! (smile!). They constantly amaze me.... www.telarc.com has several new SACDS's..was listening to them last night...can buy them from their site....really great stuff. The bass...
