I have the VA Bachs, Haydn and Theatro w/ a REL Storm III. Simply awesome on music, but lacks some "slam" on HT. I was facing your same dilemma. Looked at adding a HSU VTF-3 or a Revel B15. Finally decided on an Art of Sound subwoofer (Link Removed). These subs have the same high level...

Check out Link Removed Doug is the owner. Nice guy. Their sub cable is killer and only about $35 for the first meter and another %4 to $5 for each additional meter. He also has an awesome coax digital interconnect cable.

You've got a "keeper" for a wife. Here's the secrets to a happy marriage: 1. Find a woman that can cook and clean. 2. Find a woman that makes good money. 3. Find a woman that enjoys HT as much as you. 4. Find woman that is good in bed. And the cardinal secret is: Never let any...

I'd say 80% HT and 20% music (really love those AIX records DVDs in DVD audio...fantastic sound). Pipe organ yes (big Bach fan, but tastes varies from classical to hard rock). Max budget is around $2600 (preferably less) and I typically negotiate for around 20 points off since I used to sell...

I strongly recommend (I own) the Vienna Acoustics line. Very musical and the finish is furniture grade plus (high WAF for both looks and sound). Sumikoaudio.net Good luck. It really boils down to a matter of personal taste.

Thanks all for taking the time to respond. I'm in "get a second sub" fetish mode and have been agonizing over my selection. I have a REL Storm III with VA Bachs/Haydns now in a room 18' x 18' with 14' vaulted ceilings. Sherbourn 5/1500 with Rotel 1080 DVD, and the Outlaw pre/pro (have room...

Anybody got an opinion on Art of Sound subwoofers (artofsound.net)?

Check out the new Quad L series (high WAF), perhaps the L11 will work for you. Six coats of hand rubbed lacquer. Killer look and sound.(www.quad-hifi.co.uk). Choices for USA (for now) are rosewood or black. The birds eye maple will not be available until next year. Call Walter (dealer from...

Sherbourn 5/1500 price clarification. The price I posted was incorrect. The price I paid was based on an even exchange for another piece of equipment that I returned to AV Science. To get the current price for the Sherbourn, interested parties should contact Jason at AV Science. Sorry for...

AVS Science has the Sherbourn 5/1550A for $1499 (just bought one, it replaced my Adcom 7500). It's basically five mono blocks in one chassis. Plenty of great reviews. The head of Sherbourn is Ron Fone (former President of McIntosh). Ron is very pleasant to talk to and will personally return...

KeithH, Thanks for taking the time to respond. What I was trying to elicit is an opinion on the video of the Rotel. I have spent three days searching for a review of the 1080 without success (there were a few user comments at audioreview and epionions, but nothing else that I could find)...

You should really audition the Vienna Acoustics speakers. Very musical and equally impressive for movies (the rosewood finish...furniture+ grade is awesome). I also suggest the REL Storm III subwoofer. It has both a high level (runs off your speakers) and low level inputs. Sumiko, the importer...

I'd appreciate your opinion on the best choice between the Denon 1600 and the Rotel RDV 1080 (please explain in more detail the phrase "...not quite up to par with some of the current players." Is this something I will notice? I'm interested in the Rotel, but there are not many reviews. I...

Fronts: Vienna Acoustics: Bachs Center: VA Theatro Rears: VA Haydns Sub: REL Storm III

You question is very open-ended. There are numerous good speaker choices within your budget. However, I would suggest that you keep all you speakers the same brand to preserve the tonal balance of your system. For example, in your list of possibilites you have Boston Acoustics with the Maestro...

Thanks much for taking the time to respond to my post. Sorry I took so long to get back to you...holidays, etc. In regards to your question, RE: Pre/Pro, I'm using a Denon AVD 2000 processor with an Adcom 7500 power amp. Seriously considering upgrading to a "real" pre/pro ala Outlaw 750 (if it...

I recently bought the Vienna Accoustics Bachs (front), Maestro (center), Haydns (rears) with a REL Storm III subwub (sounds awesome to me and very musical in addition to KA in HT...I used to have the Acoustats 1 + 1s when I was in my music mode...got the HT bug, bought Def Tech PC 100s, liked...

I'm new to this forum altough I've been a hifi (and now HT) enthusiast for more years than I care to say. I have never heard (or seen) SVS subwoofers before I joined this forum, but it seems like a vast majority of members own them. I recently got one of those "wild hairs" (you all know what I...

I've had the Def Tech Pro cinema 100 system. Great on movies but lacking (IMHO) on music. Then went to a NHT system (Super Ones and Twos). Better on music than the Def Techs but a little bright. Now have the Vienna Acoustics Bachs and Haydns. Love them and the fit/finish in awesome (check out...
