I am using the Parasound 1205 to power my Energy Veritas speakers, and I remain very satisified. I know of another who uses it with his paradigm reference series speakers and, last I heard, he was very happy as well! Kevin
Hi Jason, Thanks for the review! I must severely disagree with you, though, on one point. In the beginning specs for the film, you mention that the running time is 137 minutes. I remember discussing this with my wife after sitting through this gem. We agreed that the movie must be AT LEAST...
Hi Ed, Yes, I listened to the C9 and the Veritas2.3 with the same processor / amp combo. I told the dealer my equipment at home, and we chose equipment that is within the same price range. I use a B&K ref 20 (which he DID have) and a Parasound 1205a 5 channel power amp (140WPC) which he did...
I auditioned the Energy line of speakers last Thursday to decide for myself. I planned on buying either Connoisseur or Veritas floorstanding towers. I brought my wife with me, although she is much less of an audiphile than myself. We started with the Connoisseur C9. We listened to music only...
I am confused by a prior post which mentions that the quality of the D-VHS High definition titles is not much better than DVD. Specifically, that the DVD picture quality was not inferior to the HD D-VHS presentation. If you believe this, then you also believe that there is no advantage of HD...
I think that much of the improvement one notices when comparing DVD with HD is based upon display device size and viewing distance. With an RPTV, seated a normal distance away, I just don't think that one is going to see a tremendous difference. I am using an 80 x 45 screen with a CRT FP...
Wow! Very nice. I have the EXACT same theater seats in my theater, cupholders included! I used different fabric for the cushions, and painted the other parts black, but otherwise they are the same seats. These seats are actually VERY comfortable. Much more comfortable than the local...
I'm interested in purchasing a single Paradigm Mini Monitor speaker (V2) to use as a center channel in my theater. I would also be willing to buy a pair rather than merely the single speaker. I currently own a pair of Mini Monitors V2 which I use as the front left and right channels, which...
Is it just me, or is anyone else getting sick of the darned studios only releasing the trailers in DD 5.1.
I mean, come on! Just as running that 5.1 track through the DTS codec results in our brilliant movie soundtracks, shouldn't we start demanding that the trailers be in DTS as well...
I agree with what was stated quite a number of posts ago. Why don't we all stop chanting madly for DTS and instead try to encourage the studios to use the best possible master. In this case, then, this best possible master could be utilized through the DD5.1 codec onto our DVDs, thus taking up...
I owned the prior R1 non-enhanced version of Stargate, and I absolutely loathed the picture quality.
Just recently picked up the R2 Collector's Edition with the new 16x9 transfer. The picture quality is absolutely astounding! Truly excellent work! I view movies on a 7' wide screen from a CRT...
