Phil O, I also have the Parasound HCA-855A and NHT 2.5i. Currently I am using the pre-outs of my Pioneer VSX-35TX to run (a single channel of amplification to each speaker) to my 2.5i's, my AC-1, and 1.5's. It is a nice surround setup. But maybe I should try to bi-amp the 2.5i's for giggles...
My apologies for the (now that I realize it) misleading title and the fact that there is a new bargain category. By the way, I picked up a sweet pair of Cardas Crosslink Speaker Cables. Curtis
I've heard people mention getting 20% off cables coupons from them before. I've ordered from them before, and am getting ready to order a bunch of cables. Anyone have a spare coupon?
Dan I think the VSX-33TX or VSX-35TX just might be enough model for me, but I know that if something came out in 3-4 months that had all kinds of great features I would be plagued with buyer's remorse.
Wherever did you get that price. If that was an authorized dealer, I want some of that...
For those of us who drool over the vsx-47tx and vsx-49tx, but are more in the budget range of like the vsx-33/35tx price range...
When can we expect something like an elite vsx-43tx or vsx-45tx? It seems like these are due for an update with DPLII and DTS-ES Discrete as well as a sixth power...
The auto shut off on my paradigm ps-1000 isn't working. Anybody else have this problem? It seems a google's group search shows that this is a common problem, but I don't see a solution.
Thanks,
Curtis
Steven,
I almost didn't buy the 1.5's because of the angled face. I didn't have room behind my couch to put the speakers, and knew that I would have to place the speakers to the side of the couch which is against the back wall. My dealer convinced me that I could have them close to and...
Might I recommend the NHT 1.5's from www.soundcity.com for $299. It is my understanding that the 1.5 and 2.5i's are identical except the 8" sub. This should make a perfect match. Also, if you don't have a center onecall.com has the Audio-Center 1 on sale.
Good luck,
Curtis
Jeffrey,
That price of $1050 shipped from J&R for the 898 sounds unbeatable. Anybody know the best price on the 797?
I hope I can get that $1050 shipped price when I decide on the 898 (90% of the way there, still considering 797). Was there anything/anyone special you needed to ask for to...
Thank you Matthew (and Chriss) for your responses. If nothing else, it got me to reconsider with concerns such as resale value and more importantly mismatched amplification.
2 channel music is very important to me. Perhaps of paramount importance in my decision. I was considering just...
Wondering if I could get some feedback on receivers in the approximately $500-$1000 range that have assignable amplifiers? I have:
Fronts: NHT 2.5i
Center: NHT AC-1
Rears: NHT 1.5
Rear Centers: don't own, but maybe another pair of 1.5s????
The front speakers really shine (on music)...
Pioneer Elite VSX-09TX THX Dolby Digital Flagship A/V Receiver. I purchased this unit refurbished (for $700) a little over a year ago, and have been very happy with it. It is absolutely gorgeous to look at (Urushi Finish and rosewood side panels) and a pleasure to listen to. I have kept the...
