well, I've been waiting for this forever. I have the LD version and longing to watch it the DVD version, and have waited for the (supposedly) best version. So, today I went to BB to just get whatever version they have on display. Well, what you know, they said they had stop carrying it in store...
If I were you, I would check out Sonus Faber Grand Piano (Tweeter and Magnolia/BB carry 'em) One thing that could be your next bottleneck of performance would be your Integra. This is by no means a knock of your gears, rather, a recommendation of what can be next on your list. I have an all...
very loud! ;) sorry, can't resist, but here is a suggestion: go to www.bkcomp.com and download 507 manual. I don't want to misspoke since I don't have 507. But on the Ref50, when I calibrated the system, I remember the individual channels volume can be adjusted independently, and it can be...
ok, since my question doesn't seem to get the responses that I hope to hear, let me rephrase it, to the owners of Velodyne DD 12/15: for critical music listening (including Hirez), have you been able to speak of its sonic qualities (positive/negative/indifference) compared to your previous subs...
well, that's the part that I am hoping someone might be able to chime in. I cross-overed the Rel at 60Hz right now, the intention for the Velo would be to set it up identically, assuming that it can be set-up as such. Would a Velodyne DD share similar traits with the Rel? in terms of bass...
Guys, I am in the process of getting another sub for main system, to replace a REL Storm III which will be moved into my two channels system. I really love how the Storm blends in with the rest of my system, and I would have gone with another REL if Sumiko had not discontinued to carry the ST...
I have it for 1.5 years, bought it new from a local authorized dealer, looks new (no scratch at all), I upgraded to B&K Ref 50 about a year ago, and it has been used for my 2 channels system. I have also upgraded firmware to the latest. Please check specs at rotel.com I am looking at $1400, paid...
I hear you, but those features will eventually available to most processors of the future, in my opinion. I am waiting for DPL II update on the ref50, and as is, it has actually very flexible (i.e. advance tweaks) for anyone to go crazy on. I used to own Denon 2803, and I went with sonic quality...
I ran into the same decision point last year when I upgraded my system. I went with Ref50 and 125.7 for the above reason. I also believe that, it minimizes electronic noise interference, by having the amplification in a separate box, separated from the FM noise generated by the tuner. In my...
Jonathan, I have a Sony XA3ES that I have no use, comes with remote and no blemishes. It has been sitting idle for a few months. I bought new from GG in 1996 for $700 and willing to let it go for $250. I have manual and box, without the foam. Let me know if this within your budget..thanks
Bill, congrats on the new polk LSis, awesome speakers... Here are the list of AVR that has been proven to work well with LSis: B&K 307/507 Rotel 1055/1065 Outlaw Parasound Higher series Denon 4XXX/5XXX Is your budget fixed? If so, I would suggest high quality used gears...
I have a Sony XA3ES that I am selling to fund an upgrade to a different CDP. Unfortunately, I am in no need for DVD. I am selling it for $300 + shipping, bought new from Good Guys in 1997 for $700. Let me know if you are interested. Thanks, fh
Thanks, Donnie! About a month ago I finally got a chance to tweak the notch filter on mine. I have to say one word: whoa! what a difference! mid and high became very pronounced and low became as tight as it can be, especially the blending with my REL Storm III. Lesson learned for me, never...
All, Just curious if there is anybody know of the plan on the next release of firmware, beyond 1.04 I wonder if PL2x will be part of it. I am still with 1.03 waiting for the next update beyond 1.04. Thanks, Frances
Donnie, A quick question: as you stated somewhere, one of the V1.04 benefit is, the pass thru analog contents on SACD/DVD-A to surround back speakers, bypassing matrix/digital processing, thus mirroring surrounds. This alone, I think, might make the upgrade from 1.03 to 1.04worthwhile. Do you...
Kyle, if it is within your budget, take a look at B&K Reference 50 and Rotel RSP-1098. I have LSi15 paired with B&K Reference50 and B&K AV125.7 for HT and music. They mate very well...
Donnie, thanks for the feedback, that was what I suspect too. I will give B&K a call and see what they say about sending the card to tweeter. I didn't buy my ref from them but I bought several gears from them before...
Donnie, I have not done so, since I've been listening more and more on PLII/audio 7 mode and can't hear those faint whine on the left surround at all (not to mention I am a master of procrastination as well) I am waiting for 1.05 or later maybe, unless you think is really a worthy exercise...
Danny, I am facing somewhat similar dilemma with you. I have a Panamax 5500 and all the gears are plugged into it. My amp is B&K AV125.7 In all cases, the current draw at almost reference level listening NEVER exceeds 7 amps, all 5 channels driven (i.e. SACD or DVD-A Multi and DD/DTS Movie) I...
