I've owned a Velodyne CHT-10 and wasn't very impressed with it. OK with movies, not good at all with music. I now have a Hsu VTF-2 and it too has a 10 inch woofer, but this sub is much, much better than the CHT-10. Unless you're getting full trade-up value (like at Circuit City), you should...
The practical side of me says to buy a Hsu VTF-2 (great reviews, smaller size, lower price). But there are too many good things said about SVS (I guess I would go for a 25-31 PCi) that it warrants serious consideration. I listen to 70/30 music, is SVS fast enough to blend with my MMGs? Is...
I'm trying out the 5200 and I like it a great deal. Is worth an extra $110 to get the 5300? My main issues: - is Dolby Digital EX in the 5300 much better than Marantz's proprietary 6.1 decoding? - ditto the Circle Surround processing the 5300 vs 6.1 Stereo in the 5200 - audible...
You can buy Marantz products at hifi.com. Last I checked, they have free shipping, free return shipping, and a 45-day return period. I got my Marantz receiver there.

When starting CD or DVD play with my 5200, I'm experiencing this widely reported problem with my Sony DVD player. Has this been fixed with the new series? Thanks!
What are your favorite CDs and DVDs to use when auditioning speakers and subs for slam? i.e. chest-pounding, get-your-adrenaline-rushing bass. Please provide specifc songs/tracks if possible. Thanks!
I'm using a Velodyne CHT10 for 80/20 music/HT. It seem OK in my 15x25 room, but I would like more powerful bass with rock and pop music. Would it be worthwhile to replace it with a Hsu VTF-2 or Adire Rava, or do I need to spend more (if so, what model should I target)? Thanks!
