I should not have said absolute best as that is a matter of opinion when comparing it with three or four others. I was interested in finding out what the other three or four others might be in someone else's opinion. And now I think I know. The Lexicon with its latest update, just announced...
After a ton of research since you guys have been giving me your opinions I do agree that the Meridian 861 is one cool machine and compares well to the Casablanca. I don't think the Lexicon, while very good, is in their league. But then you have to look at the price of those two compared to the...
Thanks for the short list and I concur with the Lexicon for sure. Have not heard or read up on the McIntosh. As to the best being subjective I would disagree with your statement that it is always going to be different depending on the other equipment. A Porsche is better than Buick any...
Yesterday you guys helped with me sub-woofers, now I want to know what you think is the best Pre/Pro if we assume the absolute best is the Theta Casablanca II. I currently have the Denon 4802 and it is excellent in its price class but if you had 10k to 15k or less to spend what would be your...
I do realize where the mags get their money and why they say what they do; however, you can get somewhat of a feel by reading several reviews and then listening to the actual sub in a store. Since you folks are high on the SVS I've written to Ron and I'll be trying one out in a couple of weeks...
Thanks guys your input is very interesting. And especially the comments about the SVS sub. This use to be advertised on AVS Forum and now it is over here. Since no magazine reviews these subs and since you can't buy one in a store I have always been cautious about it. If it was as good as some...
I am using a pair of Bryston 7BST mono amps. for driving my two L/R Mirage M1s. I would like to know what other people who use these think of them and if they have had any problems. Hugh Campbell
Different forums seem to have people which are more prone to buy one or the other. However, the fact remains that all things considered the Pioneer Elite threesome (702HD,620HD and 520HD) are the best as every magazine and serious HDTV viewer will confirm. I have the 520HD and it is perfect...
Is this a trick question? I would not place anything near, much less on top of, an amp. They get hot and need ventilation. I'd be real careful about loading up the socket. You might want to check with an electrician and see what the max is for the socket. If necessary have a separate line...
Yes it is worth it IMHO. I just upgraded from an older top of line Sony to the Pioneer 38A and the difference well worth the money. If you haven't read the review this month's The Perfect Vision, issue 38, has a great review on the Sony DVP-NS700P which you can get for $299. and TPV loved it...
Looking at buying a new A/V receiver, need 100W per channel min. and the usual bells and whistles of a $1,500 plus unit. Was considering the Denon 4802 but think it may be overkill. Now considering the Denon 3802, Yamaha RV3000 and Pioneer Elite VSX-36TX. The main purpose of this unit will be...
Thought someone might get some use on this DVD player. I recently got the unit and am quite pleased with its performance; however, the romote control really is a piece of junk. This is a high dollar piece of equipment and I would have expected something much better. If you think a joy stick...
