Currently i have the following set up which is quite close to yours: Mains : Mini Monitor Center : CC370 Surround: ADP 170 I chose the ADP 170 for the simple reason that a bipole/dipole configuration in my surrounds give me a more theater-like feeling(although that is defenitely based on...

I agree! if you can get a mint 7-year old M&K sub with dual (push-pull) 10 inchers, GRAB IT!!!!!!! Besides, M&K offers a 10 year warranty. All you have to do is register it with them online

Hi, im planning to replace my Monitor Audio B2 with a Paradigm ADP 170 for my surrounds. I know the latter to be a relatively old model, but i will match it with a pair of Mini MOnitor V3(fronts)and a JM Lab Chorus Centre. Will it give me a more enveloping HT set-up?

Thanks for all your comments. Based on NAD's webside, T743's predecessor, the T742 has a Crystal chip DAC which i believe is not present in the T743. Does this mean that the 742 is better than the T743?

Hi, i am thinking of upgrading my denon 1604 by replacing it with a Nad T743 and i was just wondering if my plan will result to a better sounding HT and audio set-up. The 1604 boasts of a 75 watt per channel output (for 6.1) while the T743 only commands a 50-watt output for 5.1. My system...

Hi, because of this thread, i was compelled to buy The Incredibles DVD. WOW!!!!, It was laden with Low Frequency Chaos and my M&K rose to the challenge. Thanks

I must say HSU is a better choice. Energy speakers have a good reputation but when it comes to subwoofers HSU is more respectable.

Hi, any comments/reviews on this Brit manufactured receiver?

Hi, can the moderators comment on this comparison.

Chris, unfortunately they wouldnt allow it here in the Philippines. Once you have made a deposit(usually 50% of the price) they will allow you to try the speakers at home but you are already bound to buy the unit or else they will just forfeit the deposit. Worst, the distributor of B&W here is...

Max F, floored was a strong word as compared to impressed. Let me just correct myself by saying equally impressed with B&W's soundstage. Sorry for the foul up. Again, im still confused because with a US$70 difference, i really wanted to get the better pair between the two. Thanks to all of...

Thank you all for your valuable comments. Allow me to answer several points you have raised namely: 1. The difference in price between a B&W 602 S3 and Paradigm Mini Monitor is about US$70. On the other hand the Studio 20 is retailed here at a price of the B&W and the Paradigm combined. That...

I am seriously considering either a Paradigm Mini Monitor or a B&W 602 S3. The B&W is a little expensive but if the improvement in sound is tremendous then the price difference is something that can be resolved. Both have excellent reviews from reputable magazines and organizations but i...

By the way, im using jamo speakers for front, jm lab for center, monitor audio for surrounds and M&K subwoofers.

Hi, im planning to upgrade my receiver from denon 1604 to yamaha rxv 1400, will i experience a marked improvement in the sound of my Home Theater and on my 2 channel audio set-up? Are there rxv 1400 users in this forum who can comment on this?

According to several audio video magazines, the numbers that we should look for is the frequenzy response which should give us an indication of the bandwidth that a speaker can reach. However, after analyzing several known brands, the frequency response does not tell us which speaker is smooth...

One obvious difference between an M&K and an SVS is the internal amp wattage. Assuming both have 150 watts RMS, will SVS beat M&K?

Thanks Edward JM for those articles. Thanks also to SVS-Ron for taking time to share SVS. I couldnt agree with you more on including SVS as an option. That's probably the reason why most of the audio/HT enthusiasts here are quite keen on recommending other subs performance of which may be...

Yes kenneth, cars here are 200 to 300% taxed that is why it is really cost prohibitive. Just by the looks of it, an SVS subwoofer looks awsome albeit its sonic oooomph. But the problem is the shipment costs involved. Furthermore, if something goes wrong with the unit and needs repair, again it...

Based on the reviews on this forum it seems that SVS and HSU are the subs to beat but unfortunately acquiring these are cost prohibitive because of the attached incidental costs. Here in the Philippines, the reverred subwoofers are Rel, M&K and Velos in that order. But since this is the first...

I know most of the members in this forum are SVS or HSU fans but can some of you please comment on M&K Subwoofers specifically MX 125. Your comments will be greatly appreciated.

Hi, with a limited budget why dont you try/audition a Cambridge Audio Azur 540D. It has good video quality and a high end sounding audio courtesy of a Crystal DAC.

Hi, im based in the Philippines and there is no registered distributor of Cambridge Audio. I was seriously considering to buy a CA 540D but i was kinda hesitant since no one here has that particular dvd player. The reviews are pretty impressive but my desire to purchase is somewhat doused by the...

When setting up tha test tones or volumes on the 5 speakers (5.1 set-up), is it advisable to have identical volumes on these? Is it necessary that the center speaker have a louder volume as compared to the others? What is the rule of thumb on this. Your comments will be greatly appreciated...

hi, im also in the market for subs, is deftech BP 100 comparable with what youve mentioned. Any reviews or comments on this.

Thanks to all of your learned opinions and those were greatly appreciated. However this exchange of opinions led me to another problem and that that is how to get the much reverred SVS subwoofer which i assume is part of most of the members' HT set-up here. Again thanks for all of your...

Thanks for your comments. What was recommended to me was something similar to that raised by Nate. Im currently using a Jamo E650 for my fronts (with inverted tweeter) and they are recommending a JM Lab CC700 center speaker with an identical tweeter construction. Is there any rule of thumb which...

Hi, im still a newbie in the HT hobby, can you help me with my concern? Is it possible to achieve timbre/tonal matching or compatibility using different brands of speakers? Do certain speakers have a "signature" tonal quality that would make it compatible with certain brands? Do speakers, let...

Thanks Rich X. X10D is a line buffer made by MF which would act as some sort of a pre-amp composed mainly of tubes. MF had already phased out the product but it commands a strong following here since it is the most cost effective way to upgrade the sound of the CD's. By the way, how much does...

Hi, im currently using a pioneer dvd player to play my cd's and im not that satisfied with the sound im hearing. is it true that adding an MF X10D will greatly improve the sound quality considering that im working on a tight budget? Is using a dvd player + X10D sounds better than buying a...
