If anyone wants anything checked out and reported on, I will do my best. I don't have a camera, so no pictures, but if you want me to ask a manufacturer a question or something, let me know. Please post here. I don't check my pm's often. Also, I will only reluctantly give opinions on...

im not looking for explanations and definitely not arguments. I am asking everyone to please just answer A, B, or C.. this is just for 2 channel, assume for digital source, and its your money, so it can be either tube or solid or hybrid or digital or whatnot which would you rather have...

most of my equipment has brushed aluminum face plates and some, my receiver especially, has some finger prints/oil stains on them...how do i clean it off and make it nice and shiny? thanks, rich

for a used pair of B&W DM605s2 would go for? bought about 2 years ago, condition 8.5 or so no boxes? any help would be appreciated, thanks, Rich

dv 1000? the H&K has a built in scaler... the onkyo is a unviersal with dvi-hdmi... denon is supposed to come out with a super high end line of separates... krell has a $3500 universal coming due rich

first they gave it near "hot ticket" ratings, 90 on build, 96 on value, 97 on features, 94 on performance, but only 86 on ergo, i guess thats why it did not get a hot ticket... the other interesting part was the amp results... yamaha rates it as 7x120 tests results, all into 8 at .1% 2 x...

There is nothing about it on Classe's website... What I gathered is that is was discontinued, was a 2x150 channel amp between the 101 and 201... But any additional background would be helpful. Thanks, Rich

similar watts, both by CJ owned companies, which would you prefer? the CJ is a bit more expensive, but ignoring that, which do you think is better? Rich

I have only the vaguest idea of what their entry level stuff costs, I do know that their highest end lines are well well out of my range... Thanks Rich

a series of upgrades for hometheater audio equipment is just not worth it... I find that the difference in sound quality when watching movies with top notch speakers (say $5k for the fronts) a top pre/pro (like an anthem or lexicon), and a great amp is not significantly better than lower end...

I was looking at one of my older issues of SGTH and noticed this pre/pro. It's pretty cheap, $1300-1400 list. Has less features than the Rotel 1066 but the review felt the sound was superior to the Rotel. It was interesting that they did such a direct comparison, as magazines are generally...

BAT is coming out with an AV pre/pro i bet this thing will be nice... can go to www.balanced.com and click on new products...its called the AV-10 Rich

Anyone have any opinions on this... here is where I saw it... http://www.hometheaterspot.com/htsth...b=5&o=&fpart=1 here is a link to the audio revolution site that has the announcement http://www.audiorevolution.com/news/0903/30.bw.shtml Rich

when at an average volume... It came from the powered and not-powered woofer on my B&W DM605S2. I went over and while the tweeter was working (didnt check the cone) the 2 woofers stopped working... I shut off the receiver and the source... 15-20 minutes later, got a similar sound...

these days... Used to be the pannies but, they have really changed. Thanks, Rich

that will get me Pittsburgh Steeler games though I am in NYC... Basically i want to bring it to the bar with me, plug an earphone in, and listen to the game while I watch... It would be very difficult for me to get DirectTV here. Thanks, Rich

I just think its kind of odd that you never hear anything from owners of this equipment. Never seen a review or anyone say they have the pre/pro...never heard it compared to the rotel or the anthem or adcom or anything...just weird. I mean, NAD has such a long and good history, and you would...

it looks like these speakers are between the 800 and the CDM series in terms of placement...they look more like the 800 series...just wondering about the pricing... Thanks, Rich

Okay, just had another funny conversation with my girlfriend about stereo and hometheater equipment. If you haven't read any of my previous ones, you can do a search if you are so inclined, but the basic theme is that my girlfriend is not only clueless about equipment but also very aggressive in...

they have a sweet price on a pair of NHT bookshelves...I know that they carry Rotel and Adcom and Def Tech, which are companies that tend to be a bit picky about who sells their stuff, but when I went to the NHT website, they did not list this company as an authorized dealer. Now I know that...

here is the deal, one of my ex-girlfriends asked me to help her with a system... she originally started out wanting to get a separate cd/speaker system and a dvd player, for a total of $300. Her TV, a sony 27" non-hdtv model, fairly new, would play the sound for the tv. The reason she...

I have been trying to remember that and its driving me nuts? Thanks, Rich

I should have around 2k to throw away soon, and I was thinking of getting a nice 5x channel to use with my Rotel 1055., however, I was thinking about it, and I realized my split is really 85% music and 15% HT. So it occured to me, that I may be better off getting a nice 2 channel amp to go...

Her: Why did you buy me the H&K piece? Me: We agreed I should not pay more than $500 for the receiver, and I am confident this is the best one in this price range to meet your needs. Her: Why didn't you get me a Marantz one. Me: I thought their offerings in this price range did not compare...

Took the GF to pick out some bookshelves speakers for her dorm room (moving to apartment soon, probably go 5.1 then) that will be used for stereo... she liked the polks over the 602's, but doesn't like their name. i made the mistake of saying that polk was a moderate brand when she asked me...

Do you sit and look at your speakers in confusion? almost begging them to make that music you love so much? For those sending in a pre, do you plug the cd player directly to the amp? Or do you guys have spares? Im thinking about upgrading my receiver, but i wont get it back for like 3...

studio 40's? Im trying to decide on pair of small speakers that could later make nice rears... looking at some B&W, Bostons, Mirage, Energy's etc in taht price range, im going to listen to some studios this week, and i just wanted to hear other opinions and get a better idea of how much to...

dont know if you read my post, i am about to do a horrible thing, but a quick synapsis is that i am buying my girlfriend some stereo equipment.... We were talking about getting her either the image 3LR's or the 5T's as her place is small, but she will be putting the 3LRs on the floor/stands...

Shortly after Christmas, my boss, errr girlfriend, said she would like some stereo equipment for her dorm room (she is in med school, btw, i hate baltimore, passionately, why couldnt she go to a nyc school?). We were still buying her Christmas gifts (basically I took her shopping for Christmas)...

Just got it yesterday. After opening it up, I noticed a nick on the top, fairly visible, where the faceplate and the chassis are connected. It's not enough for me to bring back, but I didn't like it. Also the remote has a very faint line in it. Kind of makes me suspect of Rotel's QC...
