    integrated amplifier vs power amplifier?

    The room is small, the components.. I've gone back and forth between so many speakers, even though I've heard so few. The idea of hi-fi shops around here are circuit city and best buy.. sad really. The budget _was_ $600, then $1000, now it's a bit around $1200 for everything.. I'd really like...

    integrated amplifier vs power amplifier?

    I've been a member at HA.org for a while now, so I'll check that out. Thanks. :) The second link covered a bit of what I've already known. Yet that still doesn't explain, wheather I would need a preamp to adjust the volume when used with with a normal amp, or wheather I would need an...

    integrated amplifier vs power amplifier?

    I'd like to connect the M-Audio Audiophile USB soundcard to the amp, then to the speakers. Since the forum doesn't want me posting a URL, I'll put spaces in the URL to the soundcard... just delete them and copy and paste into URL bar if you want to see the soundcard I'd be using. ht...

    Polt RTi8 and RTi10 in comparison to Infinity - why so good?

    Oh, and one thing about placement in the store - I suggest bringing bass test tones on a CD with you. They were originally placed so you couldn't feel any bass at all, even with 16, 20, 25, and 35 hz test tones playing through them at _close_ to full volume. After I had them on the floor and...

    Polt RTi8 and RTi10 in comparison to Infinity - why so good?

    Mark, thanks for the info. I wasn't exactly easy on the man there. I checked, they used some Monster cables, and I took them down, put them on the floor right next to each other on each side, about 8 feet away from each other, and kept plugging them back and forth between the same Onkyo...

    paradigm-vs-klipsch

    I heard the RB-75s, even with a sub. It sounded like a clock radio paired with a subwoofer. Klipsch's insanely high treble makes it all sound tinny overall in my opinion. I think you could do better with Paradigm. Although, Axiom's M22s seem to be better for the price than paradigm, with...

    Polt RTi8 and RTi10 in comparison to Infinity - why so good?

    Many sites on the internet have compared these Polks to other speakers as saying they sound like the others with a blanket taken off them. Especially the clarity compared to the Infinities(they are often compared to their brot hers sitting by them in Circuit City), which are noticeably cheaper...
