Do people really just not get it that their items are not selling...
Unless the item is massively overpriced for the market, the ability to sell comes down to two factors:1. Timing - that instant where there is somebody looking to buy exactly what you have.2. Whatever the market will bear. Pricing and perceived ... 
Home Theater Receiver recommendations for B&W 803S?
Oh, and on the Salamander, I would leave off the back panel on the amp section, since the amp is so big that it would block your view of anything behind it anyways! lol

The HTM1 is the older version.  The HTM3S "S" series are the latest version aluminum dome tweeter before B&W went to a diamond tweeter.  With the "S" series, they were able to increase the resonance/breakup frequency of the aluminum dome tweet... 
PS Audio Stellar Gain DAC/Pre-amp as first foray into separate pre-amp?
I think the Steller Gain DAC would be absolutely awsome in your system because of several factors:-  SACD and PCM audio is already compromised by HDMI interface and reduces the sound quality due to timing/clocking issue inherent in the HDMI protoc... 
Purchase a receiver or what? need your advice.
@caphill - hopefully you are still monitoring this thread.  I tested the AV8805 in my system using the beginning part of a movie that had excellent music in the intro and very high quality audio and video.  And yes, it did have excellent surround ... 
Sorry redundant Best DAC under 600.
Audio-GD NFB-11.28.  $330 plus $34 shipping to USA.  Cheapest way to get:  1. latest ESS Sabre DAC, 2. fully discrete Analog stage, 3. Fully discrete linear power supply, 4. Amanero USB input.    Or you can go for one of the higher priced models, ...

Congratulations!!!  I look forward to your results!!----You sure can do the Blue Jeans cables.  They are likely going to be better than the crap RCA cables that typically come with TVs and stuff.  But keep in mind these are also a compromise and w... 
Krell Duo 300 compared to Evo 302e or 402e?
In my opinion and defining terms (for purposes of comparison only) , your Pass Labs X350 has a very neutral sound.  It is definitely high resolution, but very neutral and very controlled.  Best I can explain it is that the Pass "Class AB" amps hav... 
Setting up Home Theater with AppleTv4
Another alternative I just thought of is to look into the Sony Blu-ray players.  They will have built in streaming apps for Netflix, Amazon and (I think) Hulu.  Maybe a few other services.  The upper models have digital COAX output (much better th... 
Setting up Home Theater with AppleTv4
All of the new streaming devices nowadays are all targeted at the "Gen Y" consumer who just wants to plop a panel on the wall and a streaming device so that he can do "Hulu" or whatever and he's good to go.  These are no longer designed with the a... 
Home Theater Receiver recommendations for B&W 803S?
I heard Rotel at RMAF and I will have to say that it is a very nice and refined amplifier.  Obviously, it's not going to be in the higher priced "Krell" or "Parasound" league, but it is extremely good and much better than Emotiva (I have actually ... 
Home Theater Receiver recommendations for B&W 803S?
Interesting.  Sorry, I do not have any direct experience with the Monolith products.  It's a full linear power supply where the Emotiva is switching power supply.  I do have much experience with Emotiva amps, having had several over the years.  Up... 
Home Theater Receiver recommendations for B&W 803S?
The XPA-DR3 is pretty much the best amp they have now because it uses fully balanced/differential amps (there are 2 amp boards per channel).  So, it is definitely limited to 3 channels.   Emotiva does has non-balanced amps with more channels.  The... 
DAC suggestion Please
I would say that upgrading either the active speakers OR the DAC will give an increase in sound quality.  The KRK Rockit are not bad, and they are at the same level as my Yamaha HS8 (only smaller).  I have been able to make my Yamaha monitors just... 
Home Theater Receiver recommendations for B&W 803S?
Yes, you could get a HT Processor like the Bryston SP3 or Marantz AV8802a and use the "Ext. In" inputs on the back of your Denon to use the Denon "as an amplifier".  However, the signal would still be going through the preamp section of the Denon....
