Kyle, you can even save a few bucks and look at a cheaper receiver still (I believe all of these receivers have preouts). Here's a couple of the cheaper ones: Yamaha RXV-630 (or 640 or HTR-5660) Pioneer VSX-D712K Marantz SR-4300 If you are able to do some direct comparisons with more...

please keep us updated on release dates/pricing/etc. if anyone has info. I was looking at maybe picking up a NAD receiver and if I could wait 2 months to save $200, it's sure worth it.

Mike, yeah I was in there for a few minutes yesterday and checked them out quickly (sorry guys no listen, I was pretty rushed). Yeah, the top driver (spal) looks a lot like the Kevlar material used in the B&W speakers. I talked to one of the salesmen quickly and he said the money the saved from...

hey Robert, I was in a local place on the weekend and the salesperson suggested the NAD 752 receiver to use as a pre-amp. It's gotten pretty good reviews just as a stand-alone and has a pile of features. It might be just over your range though @ $1300 msrp (i think). But you should be able to...

Thanks Brian I took your advice and emailed Anthem. Well less than 5 minutes and I had my reply from Nick. Wow that was quick :emoji_thumbsup: :emoji_thumbsup: :emoji_thumbsup: He suggested that they should be very similar sonically, except for when pushed to the limit. At that point a...

no real sonic differences though? Thoughts anyone?

Hi everyone, I posted this at AVS but figured I'd try it both places. I wondered if anyone has done a direct comparison, blind a/b or something similar. Is there any real advantage to the MCA 50 over the MCA 5 II???? thanks in advance

bang on Craig, it msrp is $3000 CDN (which would be $2220 USD at today's exchange rate)

Thanks Rob, looks like I'll likely pass. Going rate was $1000 on this unit so maybe a little pricey. Daryl, sounds like it was the same piece of equip at Advance. I was just there last weekend. Thanks again for the help guys

Hey Daryl Manitou eh? Yeah, I know that place probably better than it appears. I grew up in Cartwright, so I spent lots of time in Manitou (baseball/hockey). Thanks for the info though. Looks like Madrigal really dropped the ball on this line. Sure scares a guy a little from looking at any of...

I wondered if anyone had any thoughts on what a good value is for a used Proceed PAV pre-amp? I have the opportunity to pick one up for a decent buck and wondered if I was getting a good deal. Thanks

bang on Andrew. Only went in there because they had a good deal on ExpressVu i was going to check out. Last time i ever do that!

I was going to link to my posting on Audioreview.com but it's dissapeared somewhere!?! To make it short, my experience was at Krazy Krazy in Winnipeg and was nearly identical to what Travis talked about. The sales people were the most obnoxious I've ever seen (these guys have this rep in...

thanks very much Danny
