    Is SVS getting rid of the pb12/plus 2's?

    Their best bang for the buck is still the PB12NSD2 at considerably less money. I owned the +2 loved it dearly then for whatever reason sold it. Now 3 or 4 subs later I have the NSD2 and in my room you are hard pressed if you can even tell the difference between the two. . . Makes sense to me...

    Difference between Denon receiver lines, e.g. 987 vs 2807?

    In reality I don't think there is a lot of differences other than appearances. . . One can be mail ordered one can't. One can be discounted one can't. One can be sold over the internet one can't. One has a longer warrenty. . .don't know but I assume so. . .

    STR-DA3200ES / I must be getting old

    As I get older my needs change along with my pocket book. I have had an audio/video sound system since my first TV when I had to mount a headphone jack on the side for audio to go to my preamp. That was in the late 60s. At one point in my life I had as much as 100 grand in my audio system and...

    MARANTZ SR-8300 Oldie but is it a goodie??

    My last Sony ES stuff was a separate system. . .ProLogic. . .IIRC the PreAmp was a TA-E1000ES and I used the ES 2 channel 120wpc 515ES or something like that. . .You could bridge it for a 360Watt mono amp. I used one for a Sub bridged and 3 for front and rear and center speakers. From there I...

    MARANTZ SR-8300 Oldie but is it a goodie??

    If it was all about SQ I'd go back to seperates and my Rotel/Super One system or my Anthem/Paradigm system or better yet the Parasound /DIY Danes system but now days it is more about versatility, ease of operation and simplicity. Besides there is not a nickle's worth of difference in SQ anyway...

    Thanks guys. . .Exactly what I was looking for. . . Looks like it will boil down to one thing. . .DPLIIx I do like that SF. . . I do like 7.1 although in reality 5.1 is just fine for the most part. In my case at even money the Sony may be best. . .If the 8300 was a little cheaper and...

    MARANTZ SR-8300 Oldie but is it a goodie??

    The Marantz is priced right but so is the 3200ES Sony I'm looking at. . . I did a hell of a lot of research on that Sony finding one priced right yet had everything I need and intend to use. . . A big consideration is my wife being able to use it too. . .Our TV is Sony and I think it would be...

    "large" setting hurting sub?

    A message to the people who think repair manuals are a commodity!

    There are a hell of a lot of people who have no business inside the service menu on todays TVs. . . I can't count how many times the TV that has been 'monkeyed with ends up as a service call or in the shop after some 'videophile' got into it. . . I guess they do have value and combined with...

    Wood vs Plastic

    Your 'wood' speakers are not wood but a composite. . . Mostly Medium Density Fiberboard (MDF) or particle board. . . Real wood vibrates too much. . . The composits do not. . .btw. . .plastic is a composite. A little over simplified but a complicated question. . .
