My main concern is if I get the Nad will there be much difference between it and my Denon DCM_370 that I have now as far as sound. Or should I just go ahead and pull the trigger on the Jolida.

Can anyone give me there opinion on these two cd players? Currently running Denon 988 with rc -70 fronts, rc-50 rears, rclcr center and hsu stf-2 sub. Two nad 275 bee amps. If there would not be a major difference between the two then I will just go with the nad for 399 vs 999 for the jolida.

The nad c 245bee is also discounted at spearit sound for 389.00 what to do lol???

1000.00 for a cd player is a little over my budget right now. I am trying to decide between the cambridge audio topaz cd10 and the nad c 515bee. Anyone have any experience with these 2? The nad has really good reviews. I am stuck between these two players. The nad is 300.00 shipped at spearit...

What processor are you using? If your marantz sounds brighter via analog then your dac's in your processor are better than those in the cd player. I will be running my cd player by analog. I'm glad you told me about the marantz because I was kind of afraid of that lol! I think I am going to go...

I have a denon 988 with a nad t955 amp. Running 2 energy rc-70's up front, rclcr center, rc-50's in the rear. A hsu stf-2 sub. I have been reading about the harmon kardon hd990 and have heard about lots of issues of vibrating and skipping. No complaints about the sound ugh! Something always...

THANK YOU FOR THAT GREAT RESPONSE! I have also been looking at universal players such as the cambridge 751bd. I wanted a multi-disk player for just casual listening so I wouldnt have to keep changing disk over and over. I am so glad you told me about the marantz I almost pulled the trigger on...

I am looking into purchasing a new cd player but I am stuck on the two choices cambridge or marantz. Does anyone have any experience with these? I am looking for a warmer sound. Would rather have the 5 disk changer for occasional listening but it depends on the sound differences between the two...

I have the Nadt955 but thinking about selling and purchasing 2 Nad 275bee's. That would be 150 watts into 4 channels versus only 100 into 5 with the T955. Any thoughts?

THANKS FOR ALL YOUR HELP SAM I HAVE BEEN REALLY FRUSTRATED. SOUNDS LIKE YOU KNOW ALOT ABOUT ALL OF THIS. I THINK I NEED TO HAVE AN ELECTRICIAN FIX MY WIRING ISSUES AND GO FROM THERE. I AM ALSO WONDERING IF THE POWER ISSUE HAS DAMAGED MY DENON? I HOPE NOT. IF SO I WILL JUST GO FOR THE MARANTZ...

YES I HAVE BEEN COMPLETELY CONFUSED. BEFORE I BOUGHT THE ENERGIES I DID MY HOMEWORK ON LOTS OF SPEAKERS. THE ENERGIES WERE THE BEST BANG FOR THE BUCK FOR 399 EACH AT VANNS. I READ SOME MANY REVIEWS WERE THEY WERE NEUTRAL TO SLIGHTLY WARM SOUNDING. YET I HAVE THIS PROBLEM. UGH!

I AM JUST TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT'S GOING ON SO I CAN TAKE CARE OF THE PROBLEM. WHETHER IT BE THE DENON OR THE ENERGIES.

I HAVE THE NAD T955 HOOKED UP BUT IT KEEPS THROWING MY BREAKER AND NOW I AM GOING TO HAVE SOME WIRING DONE. I COULDNT LISTEN TO IT LONG ENOUGH TO TELL MUCH. I AM JUST TRYING TO FIGURE OUT IF ITS MY DENON OR THE ENERGIES. I CAN STILL RETURN THE ENERGIES IF THEY DONT WORK OUT.

I AM ALSO RUNNING A DENON DCM-270 CD PLAYER VIA ANALOG INPUT BUT IT STILL SOUNDS THE SAME. WHEN IT IS PLAYING AT LOW VOLUME IT IS NOT AS BAD. I JUST FIGURED SOMETHING WAS WRONG WITH THE AMP SECTION OF THE DENON.

Can anyone tell me if they have this setup? Currently running a Denon 988 and the sound is awefully bright. I have the manual EQ almost completely bottomed out and it is still bright. When I turn the EQ off it sounds like it's playing through a drink can. HORRIBLE! The energies have only been...

I TURNED OFF MY MAUAL EQ 0N MY DENON 988 TODAY AND IT SOUNDED COMPLETELY HORRIBLE. IT WAS LIKE ALL TWEETERS WERE PLAYING. I HAVE THE TREBLE TURNED WAY DONE ON THE MANUAL EQ BECAUSE NO MATTER WHAT SPEAKERS IM DRIVING IT SOUNDS SO HORRIBLY BRIGHT. A WAL-MART 100.00 SYSTEM WOULD HAVE SOUNDED...

Well i picked up the Nad T955 and an Oppo BDP-95. i have the Oppo hooked up via 5 channel analog outs, Wow what a difference. The sound stage is fabulous. The rc 70's in the front and the rc 50's in the rear seem like they have been woking up. All i can say is WOW! I never thought listening to...

Also I think running a separate amp with the energies would be a plus because my denon gets so hot I could almost fry an egg on it lol! SET UP: SAMSUNG 67 INCH DLP HD TV PANNY BD-80 BLUE RAY DENON 988 AVR APC H15 POWER CONDITIONER MARANTZ CC4003 CD PLAYER ENERGY RC-70 FRONTS ENERGY RCLCR CENTER...

I totally agree with you. I love my energies but they can dip to 4 ohms easily and my denon is only rated to a minimun of 6. I do listen to music at high volume at times and thats when the 4 ohm load is reached. So i figured going to the nad that can handle even a 2 ohm load would be better. I...

I don't think I am over thinking it I am just trying to understand the whole process a little better. I have a clearer picture now. It wouldn't do any good to replace my AVR when all its going to be is just a pass through. A command center so to speak...the sound for music will be determined by...

WHEN USING SEPERATES DOES THE SOUND COME FROM THE PRE AMPS DACS OR THE AMP? IF I GET THE NAD T955 WHICH IS SUPPOSE TO HAVE A WARM NEUTRAL SOUND AND RUN IT OFF MY DENON 988 WILL THE SOUND FOLLOW THE 988? MY THOUGHTS ARE TO SELL THE 988 AND BUY A CHEAP MARANTZ WITH PREOUTS. ANY IDEAS??

A good used amp and external dac would probably get me the sound I'm looking for. Or the new oppo bdp-95 is suppose to have great dac's.

QUESTION IS WERE DO YOU FIND AN AMP LIKE THAT THESE DAYS THAT HASNT BEEN BEATEN TO DEATH LOL! I WOULD LIKE TO FIND 2 AMPS LIKE THAT IN CLOSE TO MINT CONDITION.

IT JUST SEEMS LIKE MY SYSTEM IS MISSING SOMETHING AND I WOULD HATE SPENDING THOUSANDS.....TRYING TO GET IT RIGHT. OF COURSE I HAVE HEARD THAT AUDIOPHILES HAVE GONE BROKE IN SEARCH OF THAT PERFECT SOUND LOL! IT CAN BE A VERY EXPENSIVE HOBBY!

I WOULD JUST LIKE TO HAVE EQUAL POWER TO ALL CHANNELS IF POSSIBLE. THE ENERGIES ARE PRETTY EFFECIANT AT 92db. IT MAY BE MY ROOM ACOUSTICS ALSO. i HAVE NEVER USED THE AUDESSY ON MY 988, WOULD THAT MAKE A HUGE DIFFERENCE?? I HAD AN ONKYO 2 CHANNEL RECIEVER YEARS AGO THAT I HAD SOME INFINITY TOWERS...

I am really confused on which decision to make. I like listening to music in 4 channels but the problem is when I start pushing all 4 channels for music with the 988 it sounds way to bright. I really need some advice on this issue. I also found a Rotel RBM-1075 ON Ebay for 620.00 used. It is 125...

I think I'm going to go ahead and pull the trigger on the outlaw 7500. It has great reviews and is rated at 200 watts per 5 channels. for 1500 bucks that really can't be beat. I will just hold on to my 988 and use it as a pre/pro. Does anyone have any experience with this amp??

I don't know much about the pioneer lol! Since you have experience with Integra can you tell me more about them. I have heard they are a glorified onkyo. Is that true? If so I prefer denon over onkyo. I owned an onkyo before I upgraded to the denon. I think Im just going to go separates and be...

Here is a thread concerning the Energy rc 70's and the Denon 988, I have read about many situations were the 988 and rc 70's go well together it just doesnt sound well enough for me. http://www.digitalhome.ca/forum/showthread.php?t=81225

My specs for the energies show 8 ohms nominal and 4 ohms minimum. I read up on this before I bought them and was told that any speaker at certain frequencies can dip to 4 0r 6 ohms. Its just that the high end speaker manufactures actually give you the true specs of the speaker itself.
