    ToneWinner AT-300 - Budget Dolby Atmos/DTS: X Pre-amp with 13.1 channel support + 3 sub outs.

    I am one of those individuals who took a chance on buying the AT-300 and had it drop shipped from China. I have discovered many new products over the years reading about them on theses forums. I bought SVS 16/46 PC subs when they first came out because of all of the excitement here on HTF. I...

    Comment by 'Jeff Aguilar' in media '2 Channel Close Up'

    It is. It is a NAD PP4. Before this I had a Yaquin MS-22B. It was only a MM preamp. The NAD is both MM and MC. It even can do the LOMC carts. That is what prompted me to look at the LOMC cartridges. It really sounds great. Even when I was running my included MM cartridge, I noticed that the...

    This is the back wall. In my last house we had mounted the projector to the ceiling but since this room has cathedral ceilings, I ended up mounting the projector to the wall.

    Getting back into HT, would like some advice on a Pre/processor

    You are going to be hard pressed to find a pre-processor under $1,000. The Emotiva is $699, but then after that you will be looking over $1000. The Onkyo 885 for just over your budget. The 5507 is pushing $2,000. The 5507 is the replacement for the 885. I have listened to both the 885...

    UPA -7 Emotiva 7 Channel Amplifier / What Preamp / Prosessor Should I use with it ?

    You have been given some really good advice in this thread. I have a UMC-1 and have been quite pleased with it. I have had both receivers and pre-processors in my set up and in my system the pre-processors have made a big difference in sound quality. Especially when it comes to two channel...

    Replacing some old KLH speakers. New to the Forum.

    I agree with Frank. I would concentrate on the front 3 speakers and just keep the KLH for surrounds. I started with the KLH speakers and then bought the Take 5 system. The Energy speakers are a big improvement from the KLH. I then invested in a larger front speaker. I really liked the...

    Will Energy Veritas V2.0ci Center voice well with Energy e:XL-26 mains and e:XL-16 surrounds?

    I had the last generation of C-2's in my system. They were my mains and I upgraded to the Veritas Center channel. The Veritas is a much cleaner sounding speaker than the eXL line. You wouldn't know the difference unless you played them one right after the other. That's what I ended up doing...

    Merlin US Premiere announced

    I have seen the entire first season of Merlin, and I think that it is a GREAT show! It does remind me of the Smallville show. I am looking forward to the second season. I am glad that NBC picked it up. Jeff Aguilar

    Question About DTS & The PS3

    The PS3 decodes the new formats and outputs them LPCM. To do that it needs to go through the HDMI cord. If you send it out through the optical cable it down converts it. There is a really good faq on another forum for the PS3 and how to make it work for Blu-Ray. As I understand it, The new...

    Good receiver <$800 that doesn't screw things up?

    The reason I do not use the amps in the Marantz is because I have a 7 channel amp. The Marantz is replacing the Outlaw 950. I wanted to get another prepro and have been waiting for the Emotiva, but got tired of waiting so I pulled the trigger on the Marantz. I do not know how the Marantz...

    Good receiver <$800 that doesn't screw things up?

    I ended up with the Marantz 5003. That fits under the amount that you are looking for. For me, what was important was having pre outputs so that I could connect an external amp. Like Gene said, no receiver is going to do everything you want it to. You just have to figure out what is most...

    Marantz SR 6003, 5003

    I put the 5003 into my setup a couple of weeks ago! I am using it as a preamp so I have not listened to as just a receiver. It is replacing an Outlaw 950 which replaced a Yamaha 992. It sounds better than my 950 did. It has a wider soundfield and there is more detail in my soundstage. I...

    Journey to the Center of the Earth (2008)

    I too have to agree with Ron on this one. This movie seems to get the most 'play' time when any of my kid's friends come over. I wonder when they are going to get sick of seeing this movie. The 3-D presentation is fantastic. We really enjoyed the movie too. Jeff

    Looking for a new 7.1 speaker satellite set under $1000

    Since you are in an apartment, I think that I would stay with the Energy sub. It is a really good sub. I would just keep looking for the other two take 1 speakers. You could also look into getting the Connesuir speakers from Energy, they are a big larger, but they do sound fantastic. You...
