As you won't be getting your speakers for a while, I might suggest you calling Axiom back and just having conversation with them regarding using a third M22 as a center rather than the VP-150. I had both. Timber matching can be more important than you think, especially across the front. Three...
Well...I have had three receivers, now I am on seperates, I have had at least 4-5 change of speakers, I now have Dunlavy, but the single most impressive upgrade I ever made to my system was when I bought my SPL meter and dialed in my speakers. I know that's a pretty strong statement, but I mean...
I was just joking!! I have some speakers in my home that are bi-wired and others that aren't. Can't say I can tell a difference, but then again, I'm no expert either!! :)
Johnny: Thats what I thought. I believe the issue is not the cable but the line doubler in your TV. The reason the DVD looks nice is that it is progrssive and uses its own line doubler and outputs via component in to the TV. Your issue, I believe, with the picture on your TV is that satelite...
Well you certainly have a problem! If you have a progressive scan DVD player the picture should be outstanding at 480p. Does your TV have component connections? Have you tried to connect the DVD player to the TV via component? At least this will narrow it down a little. It may be as simple as a...
Jay: No difference, use whichever is cheaper as long as the construction in good. Johnny: This sounds to me like more of an issue with the built in line doubler in your TV. I hear a LOT from people who buy HDTV's and then hate the picture from cable or satelite. Questions: Do you have...
OK. HDTV is 1080i resolution. DVD's will not play at anywhere near that resolution they usually play at 480i. That is unless you buy a progressive DVD player and then the picture is 480p. Not HDTV quality, but significantly better than 480i. And of course, any material that is broadcast that is...
I make recomendations from time to time, and I was very close to buying the Outlaw amp instead of the Sherbourn. I want to make sure I understand. Are you saying that you did not like the sales support because of a specific reason or only because they wouldn't discount, and despite your efforts...
For what its worth. I ordered a Sherbourn 7/2100 about 6 months ago. It seemed to have issues when I tried to connect it up and I called Sherbourn. I got right through to Ron Fone, one of the owners and rather than have me unhappy at all, they actually cross shipped a brand new unit to me. I had...
Go visit Axiom's web site. They have quad speakers for rear effects. The models are QS-4's and QS-8's. I have a pair of QS-4's matched with my three Dunlavy speakers across the front. They are nothing short of phenominal. I had tried three different speaker combinations for my rear speakers...
You should get a few responses on this post. I believe that you will hear that Denon sounds much warmer than the NAD and that the NAD will sound more neutral. I happen to agree with this. I have many different receivers and amps in my home by a variety of manufacturers. I have also listened to...
An idea. Why not run your VCR, DVD, etc directly into your receiver, allowing it to do the video switching and then run the receiver component out to the TV. This way you get the best picture from all sources switched through the receiver. This frees up the second input on the TV so you can run...
I also thought this was a big issue. But then, as somebody stated above. I simply connected a svs cable from my pre/pro to one of the inputs from my TV. Now I watch all my programming through component and when I want to make a change to my system, I pick up the remote and switch video inputs to...
I wanted to post my opinions of the software upgrade. I received my unit back from B&K two weeks ago. The whine noise has almost disapeared, and is not noticible at all anymore while source material is playing. The pops when switching inputs has all but dissapeared, and the unit sounds completly...
I struggled for years with this issue. I originally had Infinity RS4's for mains and an Infinity CC2 for a center. The front sound stage just never sounded right to me. Despite calibration and endless playing with speaker placement. So I moved to Infinity Overture 2 speakers as mains. The front...
And heeeeeere we go!! let the flaming begin. I can tell a difference, no your can't, yes I can. Well then prove it, no you prove it. Its not scientific, but my ears tell me. I thing your posts are right on! (meaning that all the others are wrong) What a wonderful way to disguise a flame! There...
Myo: The T-752, I believe, retailed for just under $1,000 when it came out. I believe you can pick one up for $750-$800. When I got mine, about 4-5 months ago, I picked it up for $850. Now that my B&K Ref 50 is in the shop for repair, I just moved my NAD downstairs to my HT room instead of my...
Angelo: I only stated my music credentials as Myo only seems to listen to mucicians. But, I will say that in my music room I had a Yamah, a Nakamichi, and an NAD all sitting on the floor connect to the same CD player and driving the same speakers. Infinity Overture 2's. They all sounded...
One last time and then I'll bug out. Since it seems important, I have been a musician since 1969 when I was a senior in high school. I have an extensive collection of guitars, from a 1956 flametop Les Paul to a Fender strat, to an old Danelectro with lipstick tube pickups, a Teisco Del Rey surf...
I think you would be making a mistake by not giveing NAD a listen. Musically, it is superb. And it is in your price range. But this is just my opinion:)
Mark: I have a Yamaha RX-V2095 receiver and it sounds great. Built like a tank and really drives. I use it for my HT in my bedroom. I also have seperates. A Sherbourn 7/2100 amp and B&K Ref 50 pre/pro. This drives my HT setup in my media room and is so dynamic that I feel like I am in the...
For an update on my unit. I returned my B&K Ref 50, despite the fact that B&K believed that nothing was wrong with it. They believed the whine was normal. What they found was that the ribbon to the digital board was not connected, that the digital board was not grounded properly and there was a...
I believe I saw somebody on Audigon who had several, brand new, Ifinity HPS1000 subs for sale. 18-120Hz, 1000 Watts, 15" downfiring woofer and two 15" passive radiators. Allows for control of Phase, gain, crossover, inputs, and EQ. This unit was ahead of its time and I have never heard a...
Mike: I believe the dissapearance of Rex was due to his being banned from AVS. Don't know if its permanant, but I noticed that he is posting again, but under a new name, and he is trying to be more careful about what he says. He is also staying away from any and all threads that list the...
James: In following the link that you provided, it led me to this post, which I believe in of concern to you. quote: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- IIt measured at 253 into 1 channel, 241 into 2 channels, and 206 into 5 channels. But...
Jerry and Ted: I will let this be my last comment on this issue. I, for one, would love to "stay off line and just enjoy my Ref 50", but it whines. I also didn't start the thread, I just responded to it. Ted asked for owners to share their experiences and I did. In conversation with B&K...
According to B&K, yes they sell 3,000 units per month and that's NOT counting receivers. I didn't invent the numbers. I agree that you should purchase from a dealer with a good return policy. The whine in my unit has grown increasingly louder the longer it plays. It now exhibits a very loud and...
