    Which receiver/preamp to buy if I'm running all separate amps?

    Kyle, you can even save a few bucks and look at a cheaper receiver still (I believe all of these receivers have preouts). Here's a couple of the cheaper ones: Yamaha RXV-630 (or 640 or HTR-5660) Pioneer VSX-D712K Marantz SR-4300 If you are able to do some direct comparisons with more...

    New Nad models is on the way Page

    please keep us updated on release dates/pricing/etc. if anyone has info. I was looking at maybe picking up a NAD receiver and if I could wait 2 months to save $200, it's sure worth it.

    I just saw a brand new Paradigm Studio 100 v3

    Mike, yeah I was in there for a few minutes yesterday and checked them out quickly (sorry guys no listen, I was pretty rushed). Yeah, the top driver (spal) looks a lot like the Kevlar material used in the B&W speakers. I talked to one of the salesmen quickly and he said the money the saved from...

    A/V Receiver as preamp

    hey Robert, I was in a local place on the weekend and the salesperson suggested the NAD 752 receiver to use as a pre-amp. It's gotten pretty good reviews just as a stand-alone and has a pile of features. It might be just over your range though @ $1300 msrp (i think). But you should be able to...

    Anthem MCA 50 vs. MCA 5 II

    Thanks Brian I took your advice and emailed Anthem. Well less than 5 minutes and I had my reply from Nick. Wow that was quick :emoji_thumbsup: :emoji_thumbsup: :emoji_thumbsup: He suggested that they should be very similar sonically, except for when pushed to the limit. At that point a...

    Anthem MCA 50 vs. MCA 5 II

    Hi everyone, I posted this at AVS but figured I'd try it both places. I wondered if anyone has done a direct comparison, blind a/b or something similar. Is there any real advantage to the MCA 50 over the MCA 5 II???? thanks in advance

    Price for a used Proceed PAV

    Thanks Rob, looks like I'll likely pass. Going rate was $1000 on this unit so maybe a little pricey. Daryl, sounds like it was the same piece of equip at Advance. I was just there last weekend. Thanks again for the help guys

    Price for a used Proceed PAV

    Hey Daryl Manitou eh? Yeah, I know that place probably better than it appears. I grew up in Cartwright, so I spent lots of time in Manitou (baseball/hockey). Thanks for the info though. Looks like Madrigal really dropped the ball on this line. Sure scares a guy a little from looking at any of...

    Price for a used Proceed PAV

    I wondered if anyone had any thoughts on what a good value is for a used Proceed PAV pre-amp? I have the opportunity to pick one up for a decent buck and wondered if I was getting a good deal. Thanks

    the "NUANCE EXPERIENCE"

    I was going to link to my posting on Audioreview.com but it's dissapeared somewhere!?! To make it short, my experience was at Krazy Krazy in Winnipeg and was nearly identical to what Travis talked about. The sales people were the most obnoxious I've ever seen (these guys have this rep in...

    Can this be done?

    This may sound like a stupid question, but my friend is looking to hook an old receiver up to a new amp. He owns an old Technics SADX 830 receiver and was hoping to hook it up to a new Rotel amp (either RMB 1095 or 1075). He does plan on buying a processor at a later date but doesn't have the...

    yeah, and the bad thing is I think the spell-checker did that to me...oh well. Thanks for all the help guys, I'll have to get going to the nearest dealer and have myself a listen to the CDMs.

    speakers for a newbie

    thanks for all the advice Philip, don't worry, I may be a newbie, but I knew enough to stay away from Fluance when I heard the sales pitch at the store. Sure wish they could cut the retail in half on B&W's just when you said you weren't interested (ha,ha). As far as the Marantz being able...

    Help! Which Surge Protecter?

    I'm looking to spend up to $400 for a top quality power bar for my home theater. The problem is, I know squat about this. I was eyeing up the Monster HTS 1000, but then someone advised me to look at Panamax. I'm not quite sure what to look for in a good power bar. Can someone help me? By the...

    speakers for a newbie

    I've narrowed my future speaker purchase down to the following 2 speakers: B&W DM604 S3 or Axiom M80ti. I've read lots on both and it's fairly well known that the B&W's are more subdued and the Axioms could be a little on the bright side. So I'm looking for some personal experiences and what...
