I had an Onkyo Integra TX-SV909PRO, arguably the first real 'flagship' AVR from any manufacturer...(and I believe the first AVR to include a Toslink input). It was a beautiful thing. I replaced it with a Rotel RSX-1065 last year, and while the Rotel kicks on HT, the 2CH performance is virtually...
So who actually makes these pre/pros for the other two companies. Or does one manufacturer make them for all three? Which one is the best? Are there any differences? For those who own one, why did you pick yours versus the other two? Barry
Has anyone gone ahead and picked up this player? I was all set to purchase the Denon 2900, but its lack of a DVI/HDCP output gives me the feeling that I'm buying a machine that is already out of date. So I can either wait for the 3900 to come out (and even it may not have a DVI output) or pickup...
Wow, someone else besides me who owned an Onkyo 909. I bought mine in Jan 1997 (used), and replaced it with a Rotel 1065 last year. I would reccommend the 1065 to the fullest extent possibe. The 1055 is nice, but it is clearly a compromise from the higher powered 1065. Since you are used to the...
Well, as far as model matching, the lineup is as follows: Onkyo Integra 600 5.3 700 6.3 800 7.3 900 8.3 989V2 9.1 U2 So, you are actually comparing the 2nd best onkyo model to the third best integra model. The integra line was designed by Onkyo to be geared more toward the custom...
Great metropolitan sound at yonge and egglinton features PSB. Satcom Canada Technology at Leslie and Highway 7 has Monitor Audio. I suggest you check these out! Barry
The issue that Onkyo/Integra installed the RJ-45 jack for is Net Tune compatibility. Nettune utilizes the XIVA network for identifying and catagorizing music and then delivering it over IP to XIVA capable receivers. The british company Imerge was the first to implement the XIVA network for...
I use Replay because I absolutely love the Commercial Advance feature and for the fact that it becomes an IP device allowing me to send shows to friends, computers, other Replay's etc... No wonder D&M bought Replay. I think that it is more fun than Tivo, and isn't that what its all about? BTW...
I'll have to echo what James said earlier, the Yamaha is generally recognized as the best combi-player to date, yet the Denon 2900 will be out in about 2 weeks. As far as anyone can tell, the noise issue has only been reported by Sound and Vision and no one else. All 2300 owners at AVS forum...
Well I just spent the last hour reading this thread (after I cleaned my apartment of course) and I have to say that this was definately one of the better ones that I've come across in my three years of reading. My only contribution to this matter is this...I think that a 100 wpc sony receiver...
PSB is a definate steal in canada when buying with US dollars. If you want to drive to Toronto, go to Great Metropolitan Sound and they should hook you up with a good deal. Stratus silvers and stratus golds are both great speakers and great values. PSB just launched their stratus platnum line if...
I guess my enthusiasm for the 2900 vs the Yamaha 2300 is due to the RS-232 port on the Denon. But I guess If you dont have a Crestron or AMX system then it doesn't really matter. Barry
The $1500-$2000 range is a highly contested one, especially when internet sales drive down products that were in the 3000 range into the 2000 range. Consequently, the Denon 4802 which MSRP's for $2500 can be had for less since it is the oldest model in their range right now. The Rotel...
I own its big brother, the RSX-1065 and I love it. Rotel didn't try to jam in 7 amplifier channels in order to maximize the performance from the 5 on-board channels. Its two channel audio-only performance is stellar and its output is 100 watts at the bare minium. This unit is unmatched in 2...
The Anthem is an absolute features powerhouse. The AVM 20 gives you the abilty to control four different zones of audio and video. With its built in IR connecting block it can serve as and IR router for those remote rooms as well. It also has multiple trigger outputs, intuitive 232 protocols...
