O.K., Then ,BESIDES Beta-testers and Administrators , anyone care to take the other side of the coin?

What's the extra surround mode that the 2200 gives over the 1200? Isn't that the ES discrete?

So, is it a general concensuss that the Outlaw "internet-direct-to-you" awesome savings story has fallen apart a little in the light of Rotel? I don't mean to enrage the people whose buisness relies on the internet(like people who work here ,for example), but one would have to assume that the...

I am a firm supporter of seperates, but I would like to shine the light of reason on this endless debate. I have heard pre-pro/ amp combinations that HAVE NOT delivered as good a performance as some of the High Current rcvrs out there. I am (mostly) refering to 2 differant scenarios... a.)...

Most rcvr mnfgrs don't put more than a nickels worth of quality into the pre-outs of their rcvrs (o.k., a slight exaggeration) ,while I am a firm believer in additional current gained from seperate amps, I am not satisfied with the low quality pre-out stages of Japanese rcvrs when it comes to...

The RXV730 (@ $579 retail) has on-screen (the first rcvr in theri line-up with it) and a nicer, lcd remote,etc.....If you are not familiar with Yamaha's set-up menus (in fact ,even if you are) you will GREATLY appreciate the onscreen menus (also the parameter flexibility they provide)......By...

Q: what's the difference between a used car salesman and a person selling audio? A: the used car salesman knows when he's lying. ---------------------------------- I don't neccesarily think that it's the salespersons fault here, as too often the manufacturer publishes differant specs for...

The B&K rcvr is non current limiting, are there any others?

not Klipsch...56 years and counting,...oh wait someone said that they don't work in this equation,I'm sorry

I assure you, I didn't wan't the VIENNA ACOUSTIC MAHLERS to sound twice as good as the BEETHOVENS that I already had, but I had to upgrade, Oh well................ And like drinking wine, blind test where you don't know what your drinking will sometimes reveal that you enjoyed the 20 dollar...

Generally speaking, Toroids are better...but my curiosity is to whether or not certain flagships draw moree "peak" current than lower end multi-channel amps......actually , the 5803 vs 5125 info posted above is about what I would have expected...the B&K Ref7270 draws quite a bit more than the...

There oughta be a "all other things being equal" line when rating gear...this is where I take into account Looks, Remote, video switching capabilities, Price.....Not that they don't affect my dicision, just that they only come into play when picking between 2 equally good units...

Rotel, parasound,marantz,etc (any of the lower priced multi-channel amps) -do all of the above amps use Torroidal transformers or do some use E-core(etc.)?????? I seem to remember that some flagship rcvrs use toroids and some do not(Elite 49?).... Given that the pre-pro part of a rcvr...

Onkyo and HK both suffer from way too large a % of buis from low-fi mass market retailers who don't have the sales staff or demoing ability to sell on quality...It all comes down to price vs features,features, features...sony rates specs one way for their mass market product and another for ES ...

do all of the above amps use Torroidal transformers or do some use E-core(etc.)?????? I seem to remember that some flagship rcvrs use toroids and some do not(Elite 49?).... Given that the pre-pro part of a rcvr doesn't take much current ,I would like to see current draw specs on some of these...
