You definately need to listen for yourself. I, and many other that I have read about, find the VR series better than the VRM series. I also prefer the VR2 and VR3 over the Paradigm Studio 40 and 60 hands down. I dont find the tweeter warm at all, I find it much more accurate that the Paradigm...
I am currently auditioning speakers as I am not satisfied with what I am currently running. Has anyone heard the Boston VRB? It seems the tower VR series has gotten much more attention
I currently have a Marantz SR5400 and just picked up some Monitor Audio S2's at a great price. They sound great, but the Marantz has a much harder time pushing them that the previous speakers I had. Any suggestions? Should I sell in an pick up something like a NAD receiver for a few hundred...
Greg thanks for the reply. I was thinking the same thing and going with the S2. I was just reading over at another forum, and they were talking about how the Monitor Audio products are crap. They were saying they were great years ago, but now are not. That got me pretty concerned
Hey everyone I have pretty much narrowed my choice for a new 5.1 down to the Monitor Audio silver series. My question is does anyone know of the difference between the new RS series and the older S series. I can pretty much get the older larger S2 for the same price as the RS1. Thanks for...
Evan, Thanks for the invite, I may have to take you up on that offer. I have been getting around to see what else is out there. I have heard numerous types of speakers, and have decided I need to hear every speaker brand out there!!! Ok maybe impossible, but I love hearing the differences...
It seems as though the same speakers are brought up here most of the time. I was wondering about some other brands we dont here too much about, but look like nice speakers. Does anyone have any experience with ACI, Tyler and any other brands that are not frequently brought up here? How do...
Very interesting thread, I was very interested in the Monitor speakers a while back when I was looking for a new system. I found a local store that carried the MA Bronze, so I lugged my Axiom M22's down on a saturday. Lucky for me, there was another customer there who had brought his Paradigm...
John Garcia, I have a question about those parts express stands that you have. I have been looking for new stands as well -What is the size of the top plate of those stands, the website doesnt tell -And also, are they 24" without the spikes? How tall are they with the spikes? Thank you
I have Triangle Titus 202's I know I should just pull the trigger and get one, I dont feel that Ill being making a mistake either way just like to see if others have had any experience with either of them
I am looking for a new receiver. I narrowed it down to two, which I can get locally cheap. Harman Kardon AVR235 and the Marantz SR4500 I dont have much knowledge in receivers, I was wondering if anyone had any opinions on which is the better choice I can get them both for just about the...
I am currently using an HSU STF2. I also have an older sub lying around, and was wondering if I can use two sub's together, especially if one of them is a lesser quality and doesnt go as deep as the HSU? Is it possible to get better performance from 2 subs, even if they are different? And how...
Chris, I may not be the best to describe what you are looking for. But Ill give you this, The disc change speed I find to be average. Yes I would love it to be faster, but I also havent found a five disc player yet that was extremely fast. The layer change is fine. I have no problem with it...
Roger I just picked up the Yamaha C750 and it plays CD's through all five discs. If you mix the type of disc, say SACD, DVD Audio, CD- It wont play through. But if you keep say all CD's, it will continue through. It also does random shuffle the same way
I picked up the C750 last weekend. I havent had too much time with it but so far it is a really nice unit, especially for the money. I did own the panasonic f87, but the video quality wasnt what I was looking for. The yamaha is a much better unit IMO, and you really get a lot for your money
Well I just picked up the panasonic f87 last night at CompUSA for $92, a manager's special. It was so cheap I figured I should take a gamble on it and see how it is.
I am looking for a 5 disc player, and I'm looking on the very cheap side. I have looked at the panasonic f87 and the sony dvpnc875. I just got confirmation from Sony the the DVPNC875 does NOT have multi disc shuffle, which to me, kind of defeats the purpose of a 5 disc player. Has anyone heard...
I was wondering what height I should have my speakers at? The are about 13" tall. I know the company has speaker stands specifically for them that are 25" tall, but I keep reading so many people that have the same size speakers on 30" stands?? Any suggestions? thanks in advance
Well I am reading a lot about universal players, but what I am looking for is a five disc dvd player that does everything except for SACD and DVD Audio. Is there a decent unit out there that is a five disc that has decent 2 channel and a quality picture for under $200?? I found a couple that...
I have tried adjusting levels and angles nothing really seemed to improve it I can really hear all the sounds coming from a small box I have even moved the whole entertainment and tv area but that did no good Its not that its terrible, but the soundstage just isnt there at all, compared to...
what are you using for your center speakers, The main speakers I am using I really enjoy, but the center has really underwhelmed me. Sometimes it really sounds like a tin can. Ok not that bad, but it just hasnt done it for me. And I have tried different placements, etc. I dont want to say what...
