I can't confirm this from specific experience, but I bet most people are going to tell you that the Pany 82 is better than those that you listed. Search for the recent Secrets review. According to them, the 82 is the best. By the way, I'm currently looking for exactly what you are, and am...
I am installing a complete HT room in the next 1-2 months. I already have most of the components including B&K ref 50, and planning on getting Marantz VPS2 projector. I need a DVD player. So, do I: 1) invest $1000 and get a Sony 999ES, Pioneer elite 47ai (each have the chroma bug) , Denon...
Also, as I will be using a DLP projector (Marantz VPS2), I've heard it will be better to use the DVD in interlaced rather than progressive mode (let the projector do the rest). Is this correct? Also, I'm considering having the DVD player modified for DVI output.
I have ordered or decided on most of my home theater setup. The only decision left is a DVD player. I will be using a B&K ref 50 with a Sherbourn 7/2100 amp, Marantz VPS2 projector and a 110" firehawk screen. I need DVD player suggestions. I have no interest in DVD-A, etc. (strictly...
Any opinions on this new pre/pro? Seems to be priced between the Anthem/B&K/Aragon/Sunfire and the LexiconMC12/high-end Krell/etc. Any thoughts on home theater performance compared to the others?
Good point. Can someone comment on sound quality. I have read in the past that some have preferred the sound quality of the Anthem AVM20 to the ref30, and would assume the ref30 should sound similar in character to the ref50. I don't remember the exact phrase used to describe the ref30 sound. It...
I know the ref50 has only been out a few weeks, but does anyone have any comparisons or impressions on how these two compare. I wouldn't mind even theoretical advantages or disadvantages to start (based on specs). Any info would be helpful as I think I have narrowed it down to these to for a...
Any other reviews? This unit has been out for a few weeks and I have only read one or two reviews. Certainly there are others out there with opinions or comparisons to other units (Rotel 1066, Anthem avm 20, Aragon Stage one, Sunfire TGIII, etc.).
I have a question. The new Sherbourn 7/2100 seems like it will be a great amp. The 5/1500 has always received great reviews and seems very popular here. My question is: does the 7 toroidal transformers/7 mono blocks and heat sinks offer a distinct advantage over a similar 7 channel 200 watt amp...
