I read in an AVS forum thread a good while ago that manufacturers don't have OSD via Component because it degrades the video quality. This was stated by one of the engineers from Fosgate Audionics as I recall. I did a search for the thread, but can't find it now. The gist of it was this: OSD...

Lest anyone get confused, the Firewire link from Pioneer is for audio only. Not for video. I don't think Firewire has ever been proffered as an alternative to DVI for transferring digital video signals to an HDTV monitor. How many Firewire computer monitors have you seen? The big deal is that...

I will pipe up and say that I love the sound I get from my Anthem and Rotel 1075 combo. You can't go wrong with either, but my vote (obviously :) ) is with the Anthem. :emoji_thumbsup: Good Luck!

Based on my experience, I would say the pre-amp will make a more noticible difference. Whether or not it is a 'better' upgrade depends on your system though. I recently upgraded my Denon 3300 to an Anthem AVM-20 and Rotel RMB1075 amplifier. Due to delays in being able to get the Anthem I had...

One more to add to your list would be the just-released Fosgate FAP-T1. I think it lists for $3000. I've seen it at my local dealer and it looks to be a wonderful piece as well. FWIW I bought an Anthem AVM-20 and have absolutely loved it. No regrets whatsoever. Picked mine up for ~$3000 from...

I added a Rotel 1075 to my Denon AVR-3300 and, like yourself, was a little underwhelmed with the result. While there WAS an improvement, it wasn't the jaw-dropping experience I had been hoping for. The music was tighter, and cleaner, but it wasn't a large leap forward IMHO. I then replaced my...

Adam, Congrats on your soon-to-be-purchased B4. I am EXTREMELY jealous! :) I don't know if your still looking at anything else in your list or not with the Granddaddy SVS in your sights, but just in case, I'll throw in my $.02 Before you spend any money on any power conditioners...

VepeR, While I've not heard the Chorus models, a good friend of mine just bought a whole 5-speaker complement of JM Lab's Cobalt series. (816 mains, and the center and surrounds) He bought them after I dragged him to my local audio dealer to have him listen to the Paradigm Studio series. (I...

You might ask your dealer if they offer any trade up programs during the first year of purchase. I know my local B&M dealer will give me full value on equipment trade in for a year after purchase on newer (upgrade) equipment. Tell your dealer your conundrum and ask if it's a possibility. If it...

I run my DefTech BP2X's in a back wall configuration as you suggest and it sounds fine. At my old house I was able to mount them 'correctly' (ie: next to the listening position on the side walls) and while it sounded better, I don't feel like I'm giving up a lot from a surround perspective with...

Casey, FYI ;) : One entry found for Podunk. Main Entry: Po·dunk Pronunciation: 'pO-"d&[ng]k Function: noun Etymology: Podunk, village in Mass. or locality in Conn. Date: 1846 : a small, unimportant, and isolated town

I've scoured JMLabs website trying to find a local dealer(s) for JMLab here in SoCal. I'm getting that 'upgraditis' itch and my 4-year old set of DefTechs might be on the way out. Anyone know where I can hear some Electra or Cobalt series speakers here in SoCal? Regards, Kurt

Reminds me of the current Dell ad campaign: "Dude, you're gettin' an SVS!!!" :D :emoji_thumbsup:

I suspect that since Skywalker Ranch is using Wilson Watt/Puppies ($20,000/pair) to do their soundtrack mastering, there is a better than average chance that they're utilizing the Wilson XS for the bottom octave duties. http://www.wilsonaudio.com/applicati...ons/index.html...
