    Sunfire vs Parasound amp

    I was looking for a great amp (under $1k) for my B&W Nautilus 805s that are being fed by my Marantz SR6400 for the time being. After much review and audition, I am considering a Sunfire Stereo Amp (300x2) or the Grand Cinema (200x5). Definite pros are they run cool (I have a small baby who will...

    Yammy 2500, Denon 3805, Marantz 7500? Musical, neutral, even laid-back

    I'd say the Marantz. I have a 6400 and had auditioned the Marantz SR7400 vs the Rotel RSX1067. The difference was a very slim difference. The Marantz is very quiet, runs cool, and I love the way it sounds with music. From someone that was looking at a Rotel at first, I would definitely recommend...

    Marantz vs Rotel - which amp for B&W N805

    Yes, I know they are basically the same company. So hopefully I'll find a good deal on a Rotel. Thanks guys.

    Marantz vs Rotel - which amp for B&W N805

    Yes, audiogon does have that effect. I've been looking through there for some amps. I've seen some crazy good deals before. Though I've never heard the 805s with the RMB-1075, I'm a little hesitant on picking that one up just because I've heard feedback from a lot of users with the Nautilus...

    Marantz vs Rotel - which amp for B&W N805

    Oh no John, I wasn't considering Rotel 5ch amps at all. Mainly because of their price. I was only considering their 2-channel amps such as the RB-1080, RB-991, or the RB-990. I can get those around $700-800, where as the RMB multichannel models are all over $1000. I would like to, could if I...

    Marantz vs Rotel - which amp for B&W N805

    Thanks for your input John. The 6400 is exactly the same as the SR7400 except it has 6 channel amplification, not 7 like the 7400. It does have the RC5 output. Another plus I've been hearing about the Marantz amp is how relatively cool they operate compared to other amps. That is what I like...

    Marantz vs Rotel - which amp for B&W N805

    Hello everyone, I'm in the market for a separate amp, but would like to get some opinions. I have a pair of B&W Nautilus 805s which are being powered by my Marantz SR6400 receiver for the time being. It sounds good, but it's crying for some juice. I was looking at the Marantz MM-9000...

    Need recommendation for new speakers & sub for sound quality

    Good lord there's a lot of people here that don't read. I never said I was looking for top end or competition or anything better than great for my car. I just said I was looking for some speakers under $150 for sound quality. I knew I was stepping backwards, but just wanted some suggestions...

    Speaker Cable: Bluejeans vs DH Labs

    DH Labs T-14 vs Bluejeans for speaker cable I know it's too completely different price range, but I'm looking for some opinions on the best cable for under $100. I need about 6-8 feet to run my B&W 601s (non bi-wired) from my Marantz SR6400. Thanks in advance.

    Any reason to switch from a Marantz SR7000 to a SR7400?

    I'm sorry Ricky, but you really went off topic here, and kinda confused me. I already bought a Marantz SR7000. I WANTED the Rotel, but my money situation changed, and I no longer had $1300 to play with. The most I was able to use was $700. I could've bought a new SR7400, but I just happened to...

    Any reason to switch from a Marantz SR7000 to a SR7400?

    Hello everyone. I just bought a Marantz SR7000 from ebay to power my B&W 601s (upgraded from an old Onkyo TX-DS575x). I wanted to get a Rotel RSX-1056, but money changed, so I had to go with something under $700. I listened to a Marantz SR7000 with my speakers and found them to sound really...

    Need recommendation for new speakers & sub for sound quality

    I listened to a pair of MB Quart Reference components today. Those are REALLY nice! A whole lot better than my last JL Audio XRs. I really want to listen to some Infinity Kappa's or some Alpine R-Type, but I haven't found a place that carries them yet. If I don't find that, I may just go with MB...

    Need recommendation for new speakers & sub for sound quality

    Maybe the ones I listed here, but higher than JL Audio XRs? For under the price of the XRs??? ($200-300)

    Need recommendation for new speakers & sub for sound quality

    Ok, I need some recommendations here guys. I'm only concern with sound quality, but I will be taking a step backwards here. This was my last system. Headunit: Pioneer Premier DEH740MP Speakers: JL Audio XR570csi Amp: JL Audio 300/4 Sub: JL Audio 10W3v2 Small, but concentrated on sound...

    Marantz SR7400 - no sub w/ PL II

    That's the one thing I don't like about Marantz. The bass management sucks. Even with the new SR7400s, the lowest you can change the cross-over to is 80Hz. Anything older, and it's 100Hz. For someone that has full range speakers, that would be a waste of money knowing that you can only play them...
