    Harman Kardon HK 3475? any good?

    It is a fine piece of equipment. It has a soft mellow sound to it, not brittle like Sony or Yamaha

    Frequency response of video switchers in preamp

    The MHz rating for A DAC refers to the sampling rate of the digital signal to "accurately" rebuild the analog signal. Nyquists Theorem tells us to get the "general" characteristics of the waveform we need to sample the signal at twice its frequency (hence the 108 MHz, twice the 54 MHz signal).

    Please help with speaker setup...

    There is a difference between a switch and a selector. A switch will choose between 2,3 or more options. All power will go to the option selected. A selector allows more than one option to be active at any given time. Activating more "selections" (speakers) will decrease the amount of power...

    Please comment on my proposed system

    Ouch, I would bypass the Paradigm speakers with a Denon receiver. The upper frequencies will be somewhat brittle. Denon "detailed" highs may be too much high end for a pure aluminum tweeter. If you like the Denon receiver then look for a speaker system with silk dome tweeters or textile dome...

    How many people bought service plans?

    With electronics statistics show that 97% of all failures occur within the first 3 months and clearly 99+% occur within the first year. So, if the device is going to break down it will break down in the first year. Purchasing a "maintenance" or "service" agreement is basically handing money to...

    discarding the two rears on a 5.1 setup

    A makeshift way of creating a surround effect from the front is to place the rear speakers on stands behind the front L+R aimed upward towards the corner (where the walls and ceiling meet). Not a perfect solution but generally you are creating a diffuse sound from them and "ricocheting" the...

    B&K Reference 30 opinions?

    I moved from the Marantz av600 to the B&K ref 30. I am not put off by the lack of DPLII since it is really for two channel recorded media. Since I don't listen to a lot of two channel stuff and B&K has others modes which I listen to two channel media with, it is no big deal. What is great is...

    What's more important when trying to timbre match??????

    I have used the AT 374s, they sound excellent. It is not as important to timbre match the surrounds with the front speakers. panning back to front is not as critical as from front left to front right. the 374s can also be set in wall (partially) also. When setting the AT 374s up you must pay...

    HSU vs SVS

    So the volume of the room is roughly 2000+ cubic feet. The TN1220 properly placed would move that volume of air nicely. Two TN1220s properly placed would be outstanding. I have owned the TN1220 for several years now and never grow tired of it. It is musical and not boomy yet when I want the...

    re:ADA products

    I have heard that the Krell and Lexicon people bow and pay homage when the ADA people enter the room.;) No ADA is no bit player. They are indeed and high quality, high performance player of which there are few competitors in their arena.
