    POLK vs PARADIGM -serious, reliable info please

    one thing to keep in mind on the Dynaudio series (which I like a lot BTW) is that they are mostly 4 ohm which your receiver might have trouble driving. I own an all Dynaudio system using bookshelf speakers and an SVS sub (the smallest one they make) all crossed over at 60Hz and it sounds...

    Progressive Scan? / Pioneer Gripe

    Just curious as to who the dealer is (I am in Maryland also and my primary dealer likes to "push" the Elite RPTVs). You can send a private message if you don't want to shout it to the group.

    Any Thoughts On Dynaudio Contour 3.3's?

    I also started my search with B&W speakers. I was looking at 805 or 804 though. I read around saw that alot of people had suggested checking out Revel if your looking at the B&W so I found a dealer near me that had them. They also happened to have Dynaudio that wasn't even on my radar. Wow! I...

    How much to spend amp vs speakers?

    My suggestion with that budget would definitely include a decent power amp seperate from the receiver. When I recently upgraded the audio in my system that made the largest difference. I have a couple of Parasound amps (for 7 channels total) that I really like and they can be found used on...

    M&K Xenon - the new WAF speaker?

    I heard them in a store not too long ago and they do sound good. Actually sounded better for music than the higher end M&K they had in the store. Also sounded very nice on movies. All volumes were far from reference though and the room was not particularly well setup (not a real listening...

    20k budget for HT (Equipment Selected)

    Hmm, I'll offer some suggestions as I have just finished ordering everything for a system in the same price range sans TV and DVD player (those get done next year). If you listen to music I would suggest listening either to Dynaudio or Revel. I picked Dynaudio but the Revel the previous...

    Rotel RSP1066 vs Meridian 565 - Discuss...

    Oh God! I am now looking at a slightly used 565/562.V2 combo instead of the Rotel. I am going to break the bank on this. I am already so over budget its not even funny :) But it is nice when I sit in front of everything. You guys are *evil* for informing me of the 562 and thus taking away my...

    Rotel RSP1066 vs Meridian 565 - Discuss...

    Bill, It is indeed JS Audio. By "new" I meant unopened but manufactured in 1999 which is hardly NEW :) They do have full warranty, etc. I will have to look into the switching alternatives mentioned in the post above as maybe a future upgrade that would take care of some of my concerns.

    Rotel RSP1066 vs Meridian 565 - Discuss...

    What is the going rate these days ? I am assuming the dealer didn't move on the price because he has a wait list about six people deep. There are other dealers I can call around to in my area to see what they are charging.

    Rotel RSP1066 vs Meridian 565 - Discuss...

    I have a Rotel RSP-1066 waiting for me at the store I ordered it from a week or two ago. At the store I bought my speakers at they have a "new" Meridian 565 available for $1795. The Meridian only has two digital inputs and one analog input and does not handle DTS-ES or DPLII. It handles DD...

    Question(s) for Dynaudio Contour 1.3MKII owners

    1. Are these speakers bi-amp capable ? I am doing it with my current speakers and really liked the results. 2. Are you using them in a HT environment (I assume most are if they are on this forum) ? If so, what center and surrounds are you using with them ? 3. What sub are you using with them ...

    B&W 804 vs 805+Sub ?

    I will definitely have a sub for HT use (I already have a sub) its a question of how much the mids would be different since the sub handles the really low freqs and the tweeter should be the same. the problem is of course the 805 is 2-way and the 804 is three way making them sound at least...

    B&W 804 vs 805+Sub ?

    I am in the process of listening to a bunch of speakers to upgrade my home theater/music equipment. My wife and I listened to the CDM7NT and the Nautilus 805. We (I just love it that my wife can now really hear the differences in speakers and offers her opinion) found that we preferred the...

    newbie 1st ? - dual center speakers doable ?

    I am considering running dual center channel speakers in a 7.1 system I am building with one on each side of the monitor (47" 6x9 RPTV). The system will be Magnepan MG12 mains and I am trying to decide on a center solution. The obvious one is the MGCC2. The alternate is dual MGMC1 speakers...
