It depends on your priorities. I'm personally evaluating the same question, except I'm looking at the MX-119 and MC207 or AVM-30 and P5. Basically, if you go with McIntosh, you'll need some extra boxes on your rack if you're gonna want video processing and hdmi switching. I'm not even sure...

awesome chuck. I hadn't thought to look for something like that. Thanks.

The initial list of features is more of a "would like to have" list than a necessity. SQ is paramount for me. I'm basically replacing everything over the next year but I want to do the electronics first. S-8s are getting great reviews, but they're way too big for me. One of the reasons i...

I have to say that while I'm intrigued by Emotiva, there really hasn't been a whole lot written about them on these forums. I've read a couple of good reviews, yes, but I haven't seen many user comments. Everyone knows these types of products often have quirks or little things that aren't quite...

It wasn't so long ago that I bought my Paradigm Reference Studio 40 v.3 based system and the pioneer 1014. I bought the Pio with the full intention of upgrading relatively soon after my initial purchase. I'm looking for that next big improvement in sound. I enjoy just sitting down and...

I recently listened to their flagship speaker hooked up to a McIntosh system. It's something to aspire to, to say the least...

I've think i've decided on the Pioneer elite 47Ai. From what I've read of the denon, it doesn't like a lot of DVD-R media and that's a problem for me. I know I said I don't care about video performance, but i do care a little bit. It would be nice to be able to watch movies when I'm doing stuff...

I was actually set to buy a 1014, but the deal fell through and while I was waiting i checked out audiogon... Basically i was gonna get a 1014 cause they're so cheap, but now I'm wondering if it isn't a compromise. I really wanna have top notch sound for music. There seem to be some B&K...

thanks for making that clear, scott. Although from what I've read recently, it's a bit of a joke that existing denon products with denon link are still not approved for sacd, just new products, which aren't available yet. I'd be pretty pissed if i payed extra for the feature. The c750 seems...

A carpet is definitely on the to-buy list if i find the sound bright. I'll see how they sound after break-in though cause I'd really rather spend money on toys and there's still so much to buy for my music/ht setup.

I just pulled the trigger on Paradigm reference studio 40s and hopefully a pioneer 1014 receiver as well if another buyer drops out. I just heard my first SACD while auditioning speakers and have decided that i'd like to take the plunge and build a nice library of hi-res music. I would like...

I couldn't wait and i went today... For reference, I auditioned B&W 602 s3, Energy C-3s, Paradigm Monitor 5s, and Totem Mites. It was no contest imo. I actually bought 3 new Tchaikovsky discs just for the audition. I listened to them back to back last night, and when I listened to them...

First off, my apartment isn't ideal for sound. It's long and narrow and the speakers will be firing towards floor to ceiling windows that are covered with fabric vertical blinds about 20 feet from their location. The speakers will be a max of about 4-5ft apart, and I don't have any choice but to...
