    What's the best 'active servo' sub on the market for the money?

    Well I will put my genesis 928 into the mix. Dual 12" servo controlled with It has replaced my HGS18 due to it's smaller footprint and therefore higher WAF. In my application, I havent really missed a beat or thud- no pun intented! Didnt have any time to a/b the two since the HGS18 was sold to...

    Anyone Upgrade Their Pioneer Elite VSX-49TX Receiver

    Evelio, question- with sacd/dvd-audio you can no longer use the MACC EQ correct? can you use MACC with the firewire connection? MACC is the ONLY reason I bought the pioneer in the first place. the custom EQ makes a huge difference in my room. thanks

    ACI Titan vs VTF 3

    agree with evan- completely different marketing segments. I'd bet no one has compared the two side by side. simply put- music vs HT. why dont you order the two and find out for yourself and report to the rest of us?

    Velodyne HGS-18 vs. SVS PB2-Plus

    I commend the SVS guys for being honest and upfront!! The HGS-18 is one great sub and will fit "most" applications. Got a local revel dealer to do a comparison and the velo bested the revel B15. It really matters what you want and for what application. The most bang for the buck will...

    Dunlavy, I am in love

    I did not mean to give ANY offense with the Dunlavy the person. I was strictly talking about the management of the company and it's demise. The speakers were GREAT! but silly management things like making dealers pay for orders upfront, longer than normal leadtimes, alienating their core...

    Dunlavy, I am in love

    Ive always loved dunlavys- too bad about his demise. Only thing about his monitors were that they lacked a little fullness due to size. Now his larger speakers are some of the best bar none!

    Von Schweikert's new VR2 any one know about them?

    john, I got a set of Vr-1s, so if you want to do a comparison, let me know. Funny thing is that 3 speakers that look very similar and are all made in china- onix ref1, VR-1 and quad 12L. All the speakers are similar in woofer size, finish quality and price range.

    HELP- 47tx- digital display on remote not working??

    anyone with a pioneer 47tx, I have a question on the digital display for the remote. what am I supposed to see in the digital display? everything seems to work functionally in terms of buttons, but the display is all blocked out- is there some kind of contrast switch? My remote looks like the...

    Replace Front trio or B-4+ or Everest?

    I would third Mark Seaton's advice and go for the pair of Denalis! With multiple subs you can work with room nodes and other placement/balance issues.

    earthquake supernova 10 or something else

    I wouldnt take the 10" for free- just clutter my room. Now the 12" or 15" is a WHOLE different story. The amp on the 12 & 15 are a lot bigger. The roll off on the 10 is quite substantial. If you are looking in that price range, I would suggest a Hsu VTF2. BUT I would suggest saving a few $$ and...

    Bryston 9bst vs 9bsst=worth the extra $?

    I was also looking at the bryston- and demo'd one in my listening room for 2 weeks, but settled on the Sherbourn 7/2100. Same mono block design with more power for the added headroom. I also only need 5 channels, so I am bridging 2 of the 7 channels and doubled the power. If you are still...

    Best 5 channel amp under 3K

    I second the sherbourn. They have a new 7 channel unit which allows briding of 6 of them if needed for the ultimate in headroom. It also has balanced inputs where the cinenova does not. If you are looking for the cinenova, look at the ATI2505 on discount since they are about the same amp. The...

    Just received my Sherbourn 7/2100!

    congradulations on your purchase! I was thinking about this same amp. I was considering the earthquake cinenova, parasound 2205, b&k 7270, rotel 1095, ati 2505, bryston 9bst and a few others. I have decided on the sherbourn since it is 7 channels and you can bridge 6 of them for major headroom...

    meridian 561 WAY better than outlaw 950!!

    MY BAD- my second post should say that MERIDIAN does not have a bypass mode in stereo NOT OUTLAW!!! For what it is worth, the Meridian Trifield works wonders in my system- much more so than DPL2.

    meridian 561 WAY better than outlaw 950!!

    I know the list price for a meridian is WAY above the outlaw, but I purchased mine used. I got it for $2200, which I think is more in-line for what it is worth. For comparison, I started by using the DPL2-Music mode on BOTH processors. I also tried the standard STEREO for both Meridian and...

    meridian 561 WAY better than outlaw 950!!

    i know i may be putting myself up to flames, but IMHO and in MY system, the meridian 561 is definately more flexible and more musical. I guess HTM got it right when they put the 561 on their list of recommended components! I have listened for 6 hours, mainly music, but a little HT. My system...

    What sub in the $1500 and up range?

    I was in the same boat a few weeks ago. I tried an original roc based on a friends recommendations and havent looked back since. I have tried many subs from Revel B15, 2 Sunfires, velodyne HGS, Rel stadium 3, 2 vandersteens v2qs, M&K mx-350. In my room and in my application, the ROC was the...

    Carver Cinema Grand... any thoughts?

    I have this amp. The hum you are referring to is due to the power coming from the outlet. For some reason this amp is more sensitive to the power it receives. Just need a good power conditioner to lower the noise floor and keep the power clean. btw, none of my other amps needed a power...
