    New Sony ES receivers... crappy digital sound??

    Hey guys, haven't posted in a long time, but I was getting all excited about the new Sony ES line of receivers, with their digital amp technology, it seemed to be the advent of a new era... then I saw the THD numbers, which were HIGHER on the higher-end models than on the non-digital-amplified...

    solid vs. braided conductor cables

    Hey guys... long time since I last posted. I wasn't sure where exactly to post this thread, but the sheer level of knowledge in this section prompted me to try here. So here is my question: I always thought solid conductor cables were as good or better than their braided counterparts, except...

    Sony STR-DA4ES

    I just had to post this. I have a Denon 3801, so I'm used to relatively high-quality receivers. I have rarely been this excited about a new product, even as a salesperson. We don't carry the 4ES, but one of my friends at the store special ordered it. Oh. my. God. Sony really hasn't...

    call to all subophiles!

    2 Energy XLS12s or 1 Paradigm PW-2200... I am looking for independent data on those two subs, but can't find any. So therefore this is my last resource: I have the choice of adding another PW-2200 to my setup, or two XLS12s for about the same price. Now I know the Paradigm offers a better...

    Mirage BPS-400 vs. others

    Hi, I searched through all the bulletin boards I knew of, and found what I can only describe as VERY positive feedback for that sub. I was very surprised to see it compared to Paradigm's Servo 15. From what I've read, however, there doesn't seem to be any definitive winner. What I am...

    anything wrong with picking the Sony SCD-CE775??

    Hi, I need a CD player that will read CD-Rs, as my DVD player doesn't most of the time. I would also like a good CD player that will incorporate good DACs to run it via analog cables to my Denon AVR-3801's inputs (currently using my Toshiba DVD player as a transport). After the recent...

    Denon 3801 vs. 2802

    Hi, I was wondering what you guys though about this: due to certain circumstances, I can choose between a 3801 or a 2802 for the same price. Which one would you choose? Prologic II seems to be the only difference between the xx01 and xx02 series, unless I'm mistaken. It would be nice to...

    Denon 4802 vs. 3802 + POA5200

    what do you think? would the 4802's internal amp offer close to the same performance as the POA-5200, or are they in totally different leagues?

    Big towers vs. Bigger Towers

    Hey guys! I'm currently in the process of choosing speakers and possibly a receiver/amplification for my system. Now I've read a lot of threads which advocate setting the main speakers to small, however big they may be, and letting the sub handle all the relatively low bass (say 80Hz and...

    Klipsch RF-7 vs. Paradigm Studio 100's

    What do you think? I'd like to have the opinions of people who have heard both, since I won't have the opportunity to compare until a while from now. Are they even comparable?

    Sony SS-C510AV

    Hi, Could anyone help me identify these speakers? They are the Sony SS-C510AV tower speakers, I tried all kinds of searches on the Internet, to no avail. They are approximately 3.5/4 feet tall and use three drivers, includiang an oversized one for bass (probably 12", but I could be wrong...

    any thoughts on the Sony TA-N9000ES amp?

    hi, after much consideration and a lot of help from you guys (thanks!), I have decided to go with the Denon 3802 over the 4802 for my future Klipsch RF-7/RC-7 speakers. I am now considering outboard amplification, either for now or the near future, knowing full well I will never be...

    Is a Denon 4802 enough for Klipsch RF-7?

    Hi everybody. I'm in the final stages of decision-making for my new upgrade, which I hope to be the last for a long time to come. I want to buy Klipsch RF-7s and the RC-7. I'm pretty set on them because of their efficiency, their raw volume level capabilities, their size and appearance, and...
