I've decided on getting NHT Evolution M6 speakers. They will be powered by a NAD T773. Question is however, what would be the better route to go on subs, the dual NHT 12 inch drivers in each T6 tower along with their matching amps and crosover, or to get the pedestals instead and an SVS, at...
JBL S38 vs. Polk RT55 for 2 channel stereo music listening with a NAD integrated amp and CD player. Any other "bookshelf" speakers out there that should be compared to these two?
If everything else was equal, ie. price and warranty coverage, what wouild you choose between a new NAD C372 integrated amp or a new in box, but previous generation C160/C270 pre amp and power amp combo? I am aware that the C372 integrated does have slightly more power (30 watts per channel)...
How is this sub? I was just in a local Circuit City yesterday, and I noticed they had 2 of them there, one was open box and the other was the display model. Turns out they were the only 2 left in any CC stores in my whole state. They both were tested and checked out fine, and they both come with...
Would a SVS PB2 ISD be enough of a signifigant upgrade over two stacked Infinity IL120S subs set up with Infinity's RABOS system as to justify the approximate $950 price tag (including shipping)? Opinions please, and thanks in advance.
Has anyone ever noticed how eerily similar Stereophile's reviews on these two speakers are? It was two diffrent people doing the reviews, but they pretty much used the same recordings (Janis Ian and Stravinsky) and compared the Polk and JBL against the exact same reference speakers (Mission...
I've got a Denon 3802 in the bedroom system, and really, I'm very satisfied with it's performance as is. However, I've also got a 12 year old Adcom GTP400 tuner/preamp and an Adcom GFA 535 power amp (very conservatively rated at 60 watts per channel, although I've heard or read somewhere that...
I've noticed here lately that most of these threads usually seem to come down to those two as everyone's final two choices at their price point/range. I realize that they are both good, reliable companies (I have a Denon 3802 and a Harman 8000 myself), but there are also other good ones out...
For 2 channel stereo music listening only, a HK 3475 receiver passively biamped with a HK PA2000 power amp or an Onkyo TX8511 receiver passively biamped with an Onkyo M282 power amp? I have a Circuit City gift card that would pretty much cover either set up. Or other options from other brands...
I also have this one up in the Receiver/Amplifier forum, but I'll put it here too since it could equally apply to this forum as well. I want to get a decent system for work, as I now have an office where I could actually crank it a little. My current set up is a Sony which retails for $200 that...
I've already got the amps, and I'm planning on getting a pair of Polk LSi25s for mains (set to large), LSi center, 2 different pairs of Lsi f/xs for 7.1 movies (1 pair will be side wall surrounds in dipole mode, other pair will be rear wall center surrounds in bipole mode), and for 5.1 SACD/DVD...

Just heard about them supposedly touring together this summer on a co-headlining summer tour. Should be interesting, as they are arguably the two biggest American rock bands ever (about the only other one I can think of that you can even mention in the same breath with them is Van Halen). Wonder...
Is there any interest? Bought it last July, but never used it not even one single solitary time. It is absolutely 100% pure virgin! Never had a cable or wire hooked or plugged into it. Unfortunately, I did open the box to get the manuel out to read it though. Reason for selling is because I...
Got a friend hell bent and determined to get JBL s38, s center and 2 pairs of s26 to go with his new HK receiver. I'm trying to talk him into NOT getting them from best buy because I'm sure that he will overpay for them there. Where can he get the best deal from online (or elsewhere)? Thanks in...
I got the HK 8000 from one call. Now I need a 2 channel amp to go with it for full on 7.1 surround sound. I was leaning to either a HK 2000 or 4000. With the 4000, I would use it to passive biamp my mains, but it I were to go with the 2000, would it be best to use it to power the mains or the...

I have an old Yamaha 2092 receiver that I'm using in the bedroom system. I also have an even older Adcom 535 power amp that I'm not currently using. That amp was very conservativly rated at 60 watts per channel, but I understand was really pushing more like 80, with more dynamic headroom on top...
I have the chance to buy a discontinued B&K AVR101 receiver, brand new unopened in the box for $500. I called B&K, and for $1000, it can be factory upgraded to dts ex, dolby digital es, etc. The only thing, it won't have THX es (no big deal to me), and no component video switching capability...
OK, for 2 channel stereo music listening, an old set of adcom gtp400 tuner/preamp combo along with an Adcom gfa535 60 watt per channel power amp vs. a brand new Harman Kardon hk3470 2 channel (100 watt per) stereo reciever. Speakers will probably be either Infinity interlude IL50 (with their...
I was planning on getting a pair of Polk LSI 15s for 2 channel stereo music listening to go with an Adcom GFA5500 200 watt per channel power amp I bought recently used, along with an Adcom preamp. However, I've came across the chance to buy a used pair of Klipsch KLF 30s locally that are in...
Especially after enough hours of proper "break in" or "run in" time? I thought when I first heard them at the store that they were a least a little bright. It was a new demo model that they had just put out without many hours on it. I bought one used, but it didn't seem as "bright" to me once I...
I was the one who started the thread about B&W vs. Klipsch for movies and rock music. Since someone else has a thread going for Infinity vs. Bose (as if that's even a comparision at all in the first place). How about Polk vs. Infinity, both for movies and music? Specifically Polk's RTi series...
