Whats the cost???? I saw a 26" Toshiba LCD last night and it blew me away for $2999 Alex

I have a Sony 755 dvd/sacd player. Its a great piece of equipment. Yes you need 6 additional cables or interconnects to play SACD's $$$$$$ (smile) Sacds come in several flavors...some have a 2 ch stereo tracks build in and can be played on normal 2 ch cd players. Check before you buy if...

I have a small room over my garage, with all sorts of wierd angles, sloping roof etc. I started with a SONY DA4ES, 7ch reciever and a 5.1 system (Dahlquist QX10 fronts, QX60C center, QX6 rear surrounds. I have two leather recliners against the back wall, the room is about 18 feet deep...

Paul, I have a PS Audio 200C 200w/ch AMP that I am selling that would do nicely and for your budget. I paid $1400 for the beast and am downsizing....will part with it for $400. I used it to drive Maggies, Mirage M1's, Vandersteens, and Dahlquist QX10's. Let me know if ur interested. Alex

Yeah Baby!! I have a set for several months now and whole heartedly concur with your analysis. When I listened to Norah Jones and Diana Krall I was in 7th Heaven, these speakers for the price are absolutley AWESOME. I use them for 2 ch and for HT. They are NOT Boomy in the least, and...

Angelo, This is the usual routine...there is so little sonic difference, that many of us have a hard time really discerning what is different (better/worse) etc... The 4ES to me sounds really great with my speakers (Dahlquist QX10's), If you tried different speakers you most likely will...

Bob, Congrats on you SONY 2ES, I own a 4ES and its been a really great piece of stereo / HT equipment. It just works so very well. The 2ES is a very capable system and it should give you years of service. I have not played with the Equilzer functions at all, and am running a pair of...

Angelo, I have a DA4Es, for the bucks its been a fine receiver, and still is. Why are you looking for another??? Is it that good to you?? Rex Carson!?!?! (SMILE!!)... Just got done listening to LARS ERSTRAND and four brothers. (cd-9402)AWESOME.... I am listening to them via the...

Check out the Dahlquist line of HT speakers at this URL. Link Removed Awesome sounding and great prices... Alex (search on Dahlquist,lots of posts on these here).

Hello, I spent around $1800 for a really great set of speakers from Dahlquist. I bought them from Marc at the Audioshop in Ottawa, Canada. URL: Link Removed DUE to the US Canadian dollar differential and NAFTA , NO VAT, 2 day fedex it was a great deal. Double Boxed. EXCELLENT...

Zack, Lee... Thanks for the replies!! I finally understand it!!! Whooooa! I found the really only useful thing to me about calibrating was it made me check to see if all speakers were playing at the same level from my listening spot/chair. ALl theother stuff while very interesting doenst...

Ok, My Turn!! (Smile). If I read the last post right, when I set my speakers each via the receiver level control to for 75db at my seating position individually and the sub get a little boost, 78-80db, and then the volume control setting turns out to be -25db. Then to get the 105 db i must...

All I can think of is Paul Klipsch's famous "Bullshit!" A! (smiling)!!

Hello! I have a Da4ES also but never have noticed this anomoly. I have a set of Dahlquist QX10's, for my fronts and have them set to large. My sub is a matching dahlquist 10" powered. I use the LFE from the receiver to send the .1 to the mains and the sub. Switch on sub set to OFF or...

Rick! Congrats on the QX10's, they are really great and you cant knock the price / performance ratio here!! (smile!). They constantly amaze me.... www.telarc.com has several new SACDS's..was listening to them last night...can buy them from their site....really great stuff. The bass...

A... Finally got it! Thanks Alex

Aaron, Tried the link at work and at home, cant get there? I did get to the Ebay store link. No pdf download that I could see, but you can buy over snail mail. Thanks Alex

Aaron, Thanks...the link to servicemanuals.com.ar doesnt seem to work? Do you have the email address? Alex

Ok, Now for the million dollar question?? How did you figure this out??? Could you have a service manual??? Is there any decent way to get a service manual?? Alex (Thanks for the info!)

Brian, Congratulations!! Its good to see someone that has purchased this receiver, I have a 4ES and really like it. I think the 2ES is also a great receiver, the SONY ES line still has a lot to offer for the bucks. Hope you have lots of great listening pleasure with it!! Alex

Hello, Being a purist, I dont muck with equalization....I use some pretty good speakers and never had a use for tone controls or equalizers...even thought they can make or break some listening room situations. For the clarity of dialog, I have always set up the center front speaker up 1-3...

I wonder if you removed the stickers on the front of these receivers if it would: 1. Void the warrenty 2. Sound any different? Yes its Sunday morning and I have too much free time on my hands! Alex

Kevin, SvevS, Sorry, I was mistaken...too much information floating around in my head!! (smile). The only real difference I see between the two is 7 ch amp vs 7ch amp capability....everything else is basically the same function wise..?? But.... The 4ES has 2 mutichannel outputs one 5.1...

Kevin, I have a Da4Es and its a really great receiver...the price for this 7/1 capable system is really ok when compared to the 5es. no 7.1 capability in it out of the box, only 6.1. But its still a great receiver...I wanted the ability to do 6.1 and 7.1 and possibly 96/24 source...

I put off doing this for 6 months, I finally did this and was pleasantly surprised. I finally know where I am at on the dail. ie what level to listen to the movie to hear what they intended it to sound like...the sub output was way too high...boomy etc...and one of the rear surrounds was several...

If your on a budget, give Marc a call and look at the Dahlquist QX bookshelf series, great stif, great prices. http://www.audioshop.on.ca/dahlquistmains.htm Alex

Stephen, I have a PSAudio 200C amp I am selling. Its build like a tank 60Pounds, rated 200w rms per ch 20-20Khz. Used it to drive my Maggies and Mirage 801's for years, a real awesome amp. I have downsized to a smaller house and the receiver is perfect for my small listening, HT room over...

Stephen, Before you buy any other amp for 2ch....believe me I have been doing this for 30+ years!! Get the 4ES and your speakers, get them set up as best you can for your room. Listen for several months. Then, audition the amp your interested in and compare it to what the receiver can...

Why is 44lbs a handicap?????? A.

I aint got no humm on the 4es I have???? Warm, Cold...I would want it to sound neutral.... This thing about one sounding better in HT vs 2ch, man what poppy cock!! This one really makes me do a double take! There is nothing worng with either of these receivers, its just one is 'better'...
