I'd disagree with RichardHOS's comment that all the list is tied for first. Yogi's classification is more realistic in my humble opinion. I doubt that you can classify Krell FRB, Mark Levinson in the same category as Sherbourn or Rotel. I'm not knocking the latter. Both are good. But I don't...

Thanks for the info. At this point, I'm still researching. Whatever I end up with has to last for a long long time, even including some speaker upgrades. Proceed was suggested by a local dealer. And I was a bit familiar with the Bryston. Am not that familiar with Parasound and Aragon nor Conrad...

You might consider a Panamax MAX 5500 or 5100 as an alternative to the Monster unit.

I was looking into external amplication for my system since my receiver can't handle all the music into my 4 ohm MLs. I originally was considering the Sherbourne 5/1500, but it was suggested to me that instead of considering a middle grade 5 channel amp, to spend a little bit more and get a...

I find the article interesting. Especially when you consider that the reason that Outlaw created the ICBM is that most semi-inexpensive receivers don't do bass management, especially from SACD players. Lots of times the input from these systems is routed directly to the speakers bypassing the...

Travis, As you said it depends upon the type of music, but Organs, especially pipe organs go down to 20-25hz as do Grand Pianos. So if you limit your bass to minimum of 40hz, you're losing the pedals of an Organ. And that's a serious impediment to the enjoyment of Organ music. And other...

I'm not 100% comfortable here, but I'll give you my impressions for what they're worth, which might be nothing. I think the receiver crossover takes for general 5x signals and tries to send all frequencies lower than that set frequency to the sub. However it doesn't apply to the .1 signals...

Pioneer does not authorize warranties for units purchased thru Etronics. per an email I sent and received from Etronics: "Date: Mon, 18 Nov 2002 09:48:23 -0500 From: "[email protected]" | To: "Myron Miller" > WE are not authorized with pioneer,but you still get warranty through...

I too have dual 16-46PC+s. Again, I've got a pretty large room - 18x23 opening with one side totally open into a 23x25room and 10' ceilings. Ron and Tom recommended either the 20-39 or the 16-46s. I went with the latter as my wife and I listen to a lot of classical, especially pipe organ music...

I have AEON for L/R right now and scripts for surround. The room is 18 wide by 23 long by 10' high with complete opening at the opposite end from the fronts that opens into a space 23x27x10. Generally we sit about 12-14 feet from the fronts.

Which center channel speaker would people recommend to go along with other ML's? I was told by a salesman that the only significant difference between the two was the amount of dispersion was greater on the Theater. And that the theater was better for larger rooms. Is there in people's...

I just got a 47Tx and installed it. I'm using a Pioneer DV45 DVD unit. So far I haven't heard one popping sound yet from the remote and I've used the remote a lot in the past few days. I strongly suspect something wrong with the receiver itself. As suggested before take it in to where you bought...

Gianni, I've been researching and researching. One serious problem I have on getting many demos is that I travel extensively. And I only found one decent dealer that I trust either home or on the road and he's 2 hours away from where I'm at part of the time so its not an option to visit this...

Thanks, I may take you up on that offer for a good price. I'm still doing a lot of research. At the moment, I haven't seen anything with a better price performance ratio with 7.1. But am still looking at various options (and reading). Probably will make final decision in about two weeks after...

I've been strongly considering the Pioneer Elite 47TX as its a 7.1 system with a lot of very desirable features. Its been a real consideration between it and the Outlaw 770/950 systems with the Pioneer leading right now due to the extra features. But today I decided to try to have my wife...

If I understand correctly, the setup with the 45Tx and amps would be the DVD to the 45Tx and then the speaker output would go to an amp and from the amp to the speakers. Something like the fronts to one amp, center to another, and l/r surrounds to a third? And the sub off a separate channel...

Assuming I went with the 45Tx and separate amps, how would I hook something likethis up. I have no clue here. Where do the separate amps go on the 45Tx?

What features other than things like the surround sound settings or MCACC would I be giving up with the Outlaws? All the speakers I'm considering are 4-8 ohms nominal.

All three of these are about the same general price: Denon 4802 for about $2400, The Pioneer Elite 47TX can be had for about $1900 and the Outlaw 770/950 can be had for about $2500. Given the same general price arena for these units, do people have any firm preferences for one over the other...

Even if the seller posted it with the decimal in the wrong place, there have been 6 bids for that incorrect amount. That's what really amazing. Especially when you consider that they list for between $16000 and $20,000 max. Why are people bidding that amount? crazy, eh?

Paul, I'm confused. How can Paradigm legally request that Ebay pull auctions that you had on Ebay if the equipment you're selling is truly used? What was Ebay's official response to you as to the reason? They must give you a reason in writing. If you're legally not a dealer and selling your own...

I don't know about Paradyne, but I have heard at least one dealer tell me about one manufacturer that put it into the dealer's contract that if the dealer sold any equipment for anything other than MSRP, the dealer would lose his rights to sell that particular manufacturer's equipment. This...

Mark, and others, My room is 18x23 with one side totally open into a 20x25 room that also has several open doorways into other moderate sized rooms (15x20). Acoustically, I'm sure my room is a classic mess, with large windows and hard walls. Its a standard open large Florida family room with...

I've read a lot about using subwoofers and so on as to how the lower frequencies are not localized. Yet, I've seen in limited hearing and on some threads how having two (or more) sub-woofers improves the overall bass response and bass feeling. For HT use and for instrumental classical music...

I've been thinking about getting something like a DENON 4802 receiver. But in thinking about it, I've realized that I don't need any AM/FM selection at all. All I actually need is the amp functions for DVDs and CDs for speakers and TVs. (50/50 music and Movies) And I read a recent review...
