    Better than DVP-S9000es

    Hello, perhaps this question has been asked hundreds of times before here - but for those who have seen the Sony DVP-s9000es DVD player, is there a new player that trumps it and doesn't cost a forture? That is better AUDIO and VIDEO, not just one or the other. And nothing in the $1000 range...

    RSP-1066 with some Marantz monoblocks?

    The MA6100's are great. I have a bunch of them. In fact I'm looking at doing the same thing with the 1066 so please let me know how it sounds when you get it. mark

    single CD Player suggestions

    Check out Audiogon.com I picked up an NAD 520 CD player for $120 and am very happy with it. Using it with a Marantz PM7000. They have good budget CD players on there from time to time.

    Paradigm surround speaker options/positioning

    Here's a question I'm sure gets asked around here a lot but I'll do it again anyway for my scenario. I'm finally ready to beef up my rear surrounds in my theater. I will be driving whatever I get with Marantz MA6100 monoblocks at 125 watts each (1 for each speaker). My current front speakers are...

    Paradigm vs Axiom

    I've had Monitor 11's for several months now and love them (never heard the Axioms to compare) but used to drive them from a Marantz SR7000 - they were good but not great. Then I bi amped them with Marantz MA6100 monoblocks and now they REALLY sound good, in fact amazing as far as I'm concerned...

    MA500 Remote turnons

    I too have 4 MA6100's and an MA700 running from a Marantz SR7000 and it works great. Need 5 rca cables, start from the remote out on the amp (check the instruction guide if any doubt where this is) and then run the wire into and out of each MA500 remote RCA jack. Turn the SR7000 off when you try...

    Help me decide - DC-2 or Rotel 1066 for pre/pro

    John, how exactly does that work? I'm running a Marantz sr7000 for a pre-amp (and rear surrounds) and monoblocks for my paradigm Monitor 11's and studio CC. Looking for a newer and better pre-amp like the Rotel 1066.... but what is this idea about a tube pre-amp and ART dac? I'll fall on the...

    Paradigm Monitor 11's vs. Studio 40/60's

    I have a Studio CC and Monitor 11's in my home theater setup and love them. I chose the monitor 11's because they fit my price range (they were just under the Studio 60's and I swear I couldn't tell the difference driving it from a Marantz SR7000). I chose the Studio CC because it was their top...

    ***Official*** Rotel RSP 1066 Fact and LOGICAL discussion thread

    I'm trying to decide between the Rotel 1066 and the Marantz AV9000. The AV9000 costs a grand.... is the Rotel a clear choice here? Has anyone heard both? Certainly it has more features, 7.1, software, etc... Leaning towards the Rotel but does it SOUND better? mark (posted this in the...

    Thinking of buying an Outlaw 950. Can I use my 6-ch-ready receiver as the amp?

    Should I replace my SR700 with a high end pre-amp?

    Thank you for the advice. I'll do some research, can you give me a clue as to which Lexicon would fit my needs and how much those things cost? Thank you, mark

    Should I replace my SR700 with a high end pre-amp?

    What's really important to me is the best sound from my Sony DVPs9000es DVD player for home theater movies. Period. I'm running a digital coax into the mix. I don't need a lot of fancy features, just amazing dolby digital, DTS and overall sound. 2 channel music is nice too but not my...

    Should I replace my SR700 with a high end pre-amp?

    My question is this. I had a Marantz SR7000 running a Paradigm Studio CC, Monitor 11's and Polk RT400 rears. Didn't feel it was giving the power to the front speakers so I bi-amped the Monitor 11's with Marantz MA6100 monoblocks and am now driving the center off a MA700 monoblock. It sounds much...
