Hi, I've been searching for a speaker upgrade that sounds as good as the B&W 802 or 803s, but without needing the major amplification upgrade I would need to match them. After lots of comparative listening in stores (hard because the brands I liked were all in different stores), I brought...
Bo, If I was in the USA, buying a SVS would be a easy choice. However exchange rates, shipping etc make it harder. It's always good to support local products. Your local Dali spaker company make some fine speakers and just one great sub - the SWA-15 (the smaller ones really aren't...
Mike, Given your bass management requirements - If you can stretch to the Lexicon MC-12B - my advice would be "jut do it". I have researched about 15 HT processors extensively and the MC8 and MC-12's capabilities in bass handling are outstanding. With 3 DSPs plus an "extra" signal processor -...
RenZam, Hi, thanks for the extra info. Some thoughts for your consideration.Two SVS 16-46Pcs will set you back arround $1750 ($875 each)Each SVS 16-46 is very large (think 4 feet high and get out the tape measure to see how big a 16 inch cylender is You need to make sure your room (and wife)...
RenZam, To help people answer you in an informed way, you may want to add some information such as: 1) Your listening habits (music, HT etc) 2) Room size 3) Typical volume you play at relative to reference 4) Any inadequacies you percieve in the sound from your current sub. 5) Current...
Paul, Nice post. Many of us have been through the same cathartic experience I'm sure. After a while it will become the only way to buy and you are for ever Hooked at a new level of understanding of audio quality (expensive but satisfying) Some points to consider (all my personal view of...
J Redcay. I can only speak for the Rotel part of the mix. I have the RSP-1098 and matching 2 and 5 channel Rotel amps and it't a mix made in heavan. I know some people with other amps who have upgraded to the RSP-1098 and also loved it. So for me I'd say "how good does the ATI2007 sound". I...
Hi, Both a friend and I went through the same decsion making process some months ago. Thankfully we got some helpful posts and advice (some dating back to 2002) re the benefits of adding separate amplificaiton to the 3802 or 3803. Look up posts with 3802 as Pre pro or Reciever Pre Pro etc...
Hi, All you happy owners of the outstanding B&K Processor, have a look at the thread titled "Great PrePro Features you Depend on or Need" and consider making your contibution. The users of the Rotel 1098 need some of your hard won experience... And the discussion should make interesting...
Hi, Active users of the Anthem AVM-20 or other major processors in this thread may care to take a look at post to the thread titled "Great PrePro Features You Depend on or Need" in this same forum. The Rotel 1098 community are seeking ideas for feature improvement of their new 1098 by drawing...
I have a decent subwoofer and I am considering upgrading to specialist subwoofer cable. For example Monster make a broad range of specialist cables from the moderate to the "silly" prices of $US200+
To get all but the most basic of these cables in Perth Australia - you have to order them (and...
Thanks for the advice to date. I'm auditioning a Rotel RMB 1095 and 1075 to try for improvement.
I have a 7.1 set-up and this would cover 5 channels. One thing I am not sure of is the impact of still powering the remaining 2 channels from the Denon receiver. I have heard two schools of thought...
As a very happy owner of the Denon 3802 runing a 7.1 set-up I am already considering my next upgrade (sigh!). Options I am considering are:
1) Adding Separate Amplifiers for the front 3 channels
2) Moving to the 4802 (or 4803 when out)
3) Moving to the 5803
I am interested in peoples...
