I had the chance to attend an amp "face-off" in a very controlled environment. Amps ranged from low end (entry level ATI) to extreme high end ($10k Plinius). Amps in between included Bryston, Lexicon, Carver, Gemstone, and a couple others. End result? Noticeable differences in sound. My...
I am running a pair of 20/39 CS+'s for stereo and DVD-A/SACD listening, and a PB2+ for LFE duties. All three are running during Dolby Digital and DTS sources, and all sound fantastic with my 150's.
I run 5 M&K S-150's (Front L,R,C, and Rears), along with a pair of SS-250 Tripoles at the sides. The low end is covered by three SVS subs. Audio nirvana! When properly set up - as mentioned above - these things absolutely shine with music - especially DVD Audio and SACD. Incredible! You...

Thanks Kevin, but I have the same input on the Lex for all DVD5900 formats - i.e. whether it's playing cd, DVD Video, DVD Audio, or SACD. The Lex will usually recognize the signal, and play the appropriate mix. Not so with the DualDisc. Only plays the PCM. Should I unhook the coax cable when...
I put in the DVD side of the Dual Disc NIN The Downward Spiral, and my Denon DVD5900 does NOT send the DVD Audio stream to my MC-12. What up? It looks like the 5900 is showing "DVD Audio" on the display, but it's also showing "PCM", and my Lexicon is "receiving" it as 48k - not 5.1 as it does...
For any Tears for Fears fans out there, the newly reunited Tears will release a cd of all new material on September 14th. There have been some "exclusives" on itunes that sound incredible. In my opinion, Tears for Fears is one of the most underrated and "forgotten" bands of the 80's - and...
