I have the 700, with NAD 272, and Rotel RMB 1075, and loving it. The only down side is the HDMI in is only for video switching.

Hi Travis, I am running Ninka's as my left and right front speakers. I love the combination. After a year with the 700 I am still very pleased with the sound. No urge for upgrades. Very satisfying sound. Regards, Tom

That looks really nice, congrats. Regards, Tom

Hello, Stephen a solly question, but did you recheck your speaker connections and made sure that all your speakers are in phase - plus to plus (red) and negative to negative {black}, and is your phase set properly on your sub. Regards, Tom

Hi Chris, your review is want prompted me to test drive the avr300 - I liked the sound, especially for movies - on well authored dvd's. The presentation sounds very real through my Linn set up, very spacious, clean and full. I could say the same for well recorded music cd's. After reading Andy...

Hello all, although I agree completely with listening to all types of equipment with your own source material - I would advise that you bring a piece home and listen in your own home for several days - allow for the novelty to wear off and then evalute one component against the other - you may...

Hi all, looking to see how many others here have the Arcam AVP700 processor or any other Arcam gear, and your experiences with the gear. I just picked up an AVP700 pre/pro and it sounds wonderful. Thanks for reading. Regards, Tom

My vote is separates, especially for the signature line. Paradigm and Anthem are related, the same company - it is a good bet that they use Anthem pre/pro and Anthem amps for testing purposes. Other warm sounds can be had with Arcam or Rotel. Linn makes nice warm sounding gear as well, but...

Hello, if I were you Mindy I would go the separates route and never look back. I would look at the Rotel 1068 pre/pro and the and amp you mentioned or Arcam avp700 and the matching amp. The sound quality for music will be nicer, smoother especially if you have 4 ohm speakers. Currently I have a...

Hello, I compared an avm30 to myh denon 4802. The anthem has a cleaner, more detailed treble, some might say brighter. The mid bass seemed at first to be less pronounced then the denon. The sub however played or seemed to be deeper and louder. After going back to the denon the anthem was more...

Have you tried a Linn dealer, or the Linn website. The tweeters are soldered in. Good luck.

:emoji_thumbsup: Hey, congratulations. A mini review would be nice.:D Regards, Tom.

In that case Jon, that was my .02 cents worth. I am not sure why the denon is not consistant with its auto set up function. Keep us posted. Regards, Tom

The pioneer looks impressive on paper, keep us posted on your progress. Enjoy. Regards, Tom.

Hi perrin, when you want to watch a normal dvd with dolby digital or dts soundtracks, you would use the "dvd" setting - on your denon. When you want to listen to dvd-audio or sa-cd use the external input. When external in is selected, it overrides the current source. For example, if you are...

If there are any yamaha dealers in manilla they could help you out.

Hello, the auto setup/eq in the pio should help with Brightness. Metal tweeters are usually brighter, soft dome tweeters are usually more laidback. You need to listen to different types of speakers and see which ones you like. I personnally like canton le102, paradigm atom, linn kattan for...

Hello, I have a silly question, but, were you able to mount the mic an a tripod at your listening position, and at your ear height. This is important because depending on where you are standing, or what you are wearing, how you hold the mic, and how far away from you will affect certain...

Hello, Denon names it "external in". You also need to ensure that your cables from the dvd player are hooked up to the external in inputs. The dvd player itself needs to be set up to allow hi res. dvd audio and sacd signals through the proper path. If it is nat set up properly, dvd audio signals...

I recently set up a pio 1014, with canton speakers. The auto setup/eq worked well. The eq portion takes into account reflections and room resonances and basically flattens the room response, (within reason), the spl's from the auto setup feature matched my spl meter. For me this is the icing on...

Where abouts are you located?

I hope that auto calibration will become as common as dd and dts. I am sold on its merits. ask your dealer if you can bring one home for a weekend to test. I think you will be pleasantly surprised. Regards, Tom

I would suggest the pio 1014. auto set up/eq is the best innovation. helped a friend with purchase decisions and set up, the pio is running cantons and the sound is really good. regards, tom.

good questions. i am sure if you fired off an email to bryston they could help you out. Good luck.

Hi, I would second the pioneer 1014, I would also recommend 6 Paradigm atoms or titans and a pdr10 or pdr 12 sub. Good luck. Regards, tom

Hi, I dont have any experience with the rcvr's you have chosen, however, I would be strongly swayed towards a rcvr with auto calibration and eq. Denon 3805, the Pioneer 56txi. Regards, Tom

According to some reviews these speakers were bass shy when they were not placed near side walls. as a matter of fact they were said to be forward sounding. A silly question, but are your speakers in phase? Other than that adding a power amp will not increase bass performance but rather give you...

Linn makes some very sweet sounding speakers as well, and Canton, their Karat series.

I would recommend Canton LE series. They have wide dispersion, soft dome tweeters. Just set up a Karat series ht, and the sound is WOW. my .02 cents.

How would the avm 30 rate aound wise against a rotel or nad? ie:warm, extended top end, cool treble ... has any one compared them at home in their set up? Any feed back would be great. THX. Regards. Tom
