    The official BLADE RUNNER SE thread. (Check out page 8 and #790.)

    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...

    Polk LSi 25's - What Next? Recommendations needed!

    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...

    B&K 507 users thread

    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...

    yes, it does. I have Ref 50 S2 (traded up from Ref 50) and it has DPLIIx.

    REL and Velodyne DD

    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...

    REL and Velodyne DD

    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...

    REL and Velodyne DD

    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...

    B&K AVR507 or Ref 50 & 125.7?

    yes, but most Denon receivers are rated 6-16 ohms load, not *exactly* designed to run 4 ohms load....FWIW

    B&K AVR507 or Ref 50 & 125.7?

    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...

    B&K AVR507 or Ref 50 & 125.7?

    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...
