When viewing on a 16:9, the 47A adds what they call 16:9 compressed, puts bars on the each side of the picture if tv locks on mode.

I picked up 47A last Wed. Previously had a 37 and the picture on the 47A was equal to the 37. Main player is a Kenwood 5700 and there is no comparison between the two(knew that when I got the 47A). Dvd-a and sacd sounded good especially in 2 channel. Hotel California for dvd-a was very good...

thanks for responding, I'll pick a couple up tomorrow and experiment, I am treading water until the elite 47-a comes out.

Online says discontinued but local store has 5. My question is how many do I need for dvd-a and sacd into a receiver? From what I gather the rs switches are 2 in, 1 out. I am confused!

How well do the ref 100's handle bass? Running ref 60's and a pw 2200 right now. Wondering if moving 60's to rears and purchasing the 100's as mains would work(parting with the 2200 for now, because of room constraints)? thanks

What is the basic purpose of a preamp? thanks

I have a 1200, used amp power with monitor 7 fronts, 350 center and mini rears. Unfortunately listened to ref 60's one day and ended up with 60's for fronts, cc center and adp's for rears. 1200 just didn't have the extra umph needed so added an anthem mca-2 for fronts and mca-3 for center and...

What I meant when I said "wire" was going with a much higher quality speaker wire than I had used in the past. What I noticed was a fullness and sharper detail than before.

I run slate's bi-wired to the fronts(ref 60's and cc center). I really didn't realize the difference the wire made. I had always bi-wired but going to the slates really made a difference.

I don't think the lovely wife would go for another paradigm pw 2200 in the rear. You do really notice a difference?

So if I have a 12" for LFE, would you suggest an 8" or 10" for the rear(asking because I have an 8" not being used at the moment.

Brand new in box $1499. Already have mca-3 and mca-2 but need a good pre/pro. For the sake of spouse does the avm-2 have a 5 channel option for regular tv broadcast? She loves the feature on our yam1200.

I have been through an Elite 37, great picture, great audio but no dvd-a, and a Elite c-36, progressive scan nice look but no dvd-a. My problem is the Elite 47 is supposed to be out next month. Progressive and dvd-a and sacd all in one. The only problem $1200 list which will still put it over...

Local dealer still has them in stock. Need to replace tos 5109. Buy or wait? and does 91 play dvd-a?

Have a yam 1200 at the moment. Running an Anthem MCA3 through fronts and centers. What receivers would allow the unused power to transfer to the rears? I know the yamaha doesn't and there may not be one but just thought I would check? thanks
