    Thoughts on Sunfire pre/pro

    Also consider the Anthem AVM 20 and Aragon Stage One preamps, and let us know what happens. Among all of the above, I am seriously considering to upgrade from my Sony STR-777ES to either the B&K Ref 50 or the Anthem AVM 20.

    How long before 3d soundtracks?

    This is exactly what we needed, a speaker hangin from the ceiling :D I just upgraded to 7.2, delete your message and don't mention it again. Let the joking aside, you hear the effects from all directions, you have to think sound field not speaker location. A 5.1 system is capable of...

    Is the Anthem AVM-20 garbage? My dealer said so.

    FWIW? It might sound like an expert but I'm not. Elaborate on the issue of deferential design? One thing that worries me a lot about the B&K Ref 50 is the repeated complains on this forum among others about a hiss or hum. I can live with an Anthem AVM 50 120v and 60Hz fixed, it’s not an...

    Is the Anthem AVM-20 garbage? My dealer said so.

    The problem is, there are no dealers around for the stuff I'm interested in. But to give you an idea: Before deciding on separates, I was interested in the Denon AVR-5803, there is a Denon dealer here, but in the western province, I am in the eastern province, that's a 2 hours flight. The...

    Is the Anthem AVM-20 garbage? My dealer said so.

    Anthem is garbage, Aragon also. B&K Ref50 is garbage too. If someone is selling any, send me a note.

    THX sub vs. non THX sub, pros & cons

    Geoff, My Jamo THX Ultra 2 sub has 2 RCA inputs, one is Direct and the other is Boundary Gain Compensation, and the same in outputs for another sub. Boundary Gaun Compensation is a THX Ultra 2 requirement for pre/amps, so I guess if the pre/amp doesn't include Boundary Gain Compensation you...

    THX sub vs. non THX sub, pros & cons

    Vincent, if you have the option to audition the subs don't pay extra for the THX certification. You probably already know that I can't audition anything here because there are no decent dealers in my area. So I insist on THX as a guaranty, and I pay for it on this basis. To qualify for...

    Sherbourn 7/2100? B&K 2000.7? Aragon 2007? / B&K Ref50? Anthem AVM-20?

    I am most interested in the B&K 200.7, another choice is the Aragon 2007. Most probably I'll get the B&Ks, New Ref 50 and used 200.7 for one reason: Multi voltage and 50~60Hz cycle, I called them directly and confirmed this. (I live outside the US). But if I was a US resident, I would...

    Sherbourn 7/2100? B&K 2000.7? Aragon 2007? / B&K Ref50? Anthem AVM-20?

    My mistake John, I meant it doesn't include "balanced" and I corrected it. What about the power-amp??? :) I saw the Aragon Stage One, where does it stand compared to the Anthem and B&K? I have no experience in separates, I wonder if there is a link to shed some light on balanced vs...
