    Sanyo Z2 vs Sony HS20

    I am going to mount the FP 13' away from the screen. I use the calculation from projection central website. Z2 will project 101" to 130", and HS 86" to 103". I am afraid I will see SDE or the screen will not be bright enough with Z2. Is it true? My HT room has light control. Can somebody...

    Region-free Pioneer DV-563A

    Well, I try to call JVB several times, but never got a chance to reach any person. I doubt they are still in the business.

    Pioneer DV-563A Review

    I bought 563 at BB yesterday. BB is having 10% discount through 11/26. The list price is $170.99. I pay $163 tatal including tax for a piece. I auditioned it a couple of hours last night. It is an amazing unit vedio wise and audio wise with the price. No regret at all. I will keep this piece for...

    Before I buy

    Geoff: I am like you, and looking for a LCD HDTV. I compared the all HDTV in BB two weeks ago, and found the SONY LCD 50" provides the best image quality in the shop. It has the same quality as the Samsung DLP with less MSRP. My only concern is the reliability of LCD, e.g., dead pixels. The...

    Denon DVD-2200

    Chris: I talked to the Denon sales representative in CEDIA in Indianapolis, IN last month. As we know, 2900 is an outstanding piece at the $1,000 range. He said the performance 2200 is very close to 2900, and most people cannot tell the difference visually and sonically. If it is the case...

    Poll - Paradigm or Def Tech?

    I compared Paradigm and Def Tech. I want to listen music with my HT system, and the choice is a no brainer. Paradigm Reference Studio.

    Amp for Paradigm Reference speakers???

    Phillip: If it is ADP, my suggestion, Parasound 1500, is overkilled. I am using Parasound 855, 5 x 85W, and found it powers the Studio ADP all right. I just don't think ADP requires 200W for surround sound, but it is your choice. James

    Amp for Paradigm Reference speakers???

    Phillip: $500 for a decent used stereo 200wpc is not easy to find. If it is the case, I recommend Parasound HCA-1500A. UBid used to have a lot of Parasounds for auction, but they are all gone, and Parasound has new line now. You may find one at Audiogon. Good luck. James

    Amp for Paradigm Reference speakers???

    Evan, I am thinking about HT3 from my front and center (Studio 40 and CC). Will Odyssey/Paradigm combination sound too bright? I have Rotel RSP 1066 pre/pro.

    bookshelf speakers for 2 channel music?

    The best small speak I have ever used for music is Rogers LS3/5. It outperforms my Paradigm Studio 40 and Thiel CS2.3. However, it is not suitable for HT due to its dynamic limitation. So, I recommend Studio 40.

    Amp for Paradigm Reference speakers???

    I use Parasound 855 with my Paradigm Studio. It sounds great but hums all the time. I would like to upgrade to Odyssey, and want to know if anybody has the experience with Odyssey/Paradigm combination.

    Paradigm, Bose, Athena or Polk Audio?

    I used to compare Studio 40 and LSi 9 in a local store. They are neck to neck. The sensitivities of the two models are similar, but LSi 9 is 4 Ohm nominal impedance v.s. Studio 8 Ohm. It means LSi 9 requires twice the current to drive. As far as the sound quality, they are close. Since I already...

    Has Anyone Compared Rotel and B&K Power Amps?

    I am going to purchase a power amp for 50% classical music and 50% HT. With my budget, I am considering Rotel 1095 or 1075, or B&K 7250. I know 7250 is a discontinued model, and the street price should be closed to 1095. Has anyone compared the Rotel and B&K? What are the differences between the...

    Difference between the ROTEL RMB-1075 and RMB-1095 Amps?

    I am deciding between 1095 and 1075 too, and maybe B&K Reference 7250. According to the Rotel website, the spec differences between the two amps are: Damping Factor: 400 v.s. 180 Transformer: 2.4 kVA v.s. 1.5 kVA Capacitor: 8x15,000uF v.s. 8x10,000uf Output Device: 30x15 Amps v.s. 20x15...

    Parasound HCA855A Owners
