    Receiver for B&W CDM 1nt

    I am in the market for a quality receiver to mate with my B&W cdm 1nt's. I am looking to spend $1000 - $1500. The Pioneer Elite 55-Txi appeals to me with it's iLink interface, but I have not heard if Pioneer mates well with B&W's. I have heard that Rotel and NAD both do, but their lack of...

    ESPN NFL Football in 720p!!!

    5.1 Input Bass Managagement in Receivers

    I am in the market for a new receiver. I have the Pioneer DV 45a SACD/DVD-Audio Player, so I need bass management for DVD-Audio (and it wouldn't hurt to be able to have a variable crossover for SACD). I would rather not use the Outlaw ICBM, since I cannot compensate for speaker distances with...

    HTPC Hardware/Software Supporting Pure Digital Output???

    I am seriously contemplating building a HTPC, and have researched the optic fairly throughly. My only main concern is that I can't find hardware or software that supports the output of the "pure" audio bitstream via digital coax or optical cable. Most soundcards (or graphic cards, for that...

    I am in the market for new speakers and auditioned the B&W 604 s3's (at Georgia Home Theater in Atlanta). I originally came to look at the 603, but was disappointed. I have three questions: 1) The dealer is sticking to the retail price ($1400). I have read in some threads in this forum that...

    Subwoofer Hum - Advice?

    I purchased an Acoustic Research S12HO back in '98. It has served me well since then, but I have lately began to notice my sub making a "humming" noise when it is on. The noise I am referring to sounds like a guitar amp that is turned up. The humming noise increases as I turn up the level...
