| Best place for a Sub in my mini Theater I cannot see a "dipole switch" on that CP380IDC. It would not be a dipole speaker because it only has 1 woofer and 1 tweeter. I have seen some "dipole in-wall" speakers, but they use small drivers that are angled into each other. It's not going... | |
| New TV: what to do with TOSLINK optical output @caphill - yeah I see where you wrote that now. | |
| Best place for a Sub in my mini Theater Yeah, have the surrounds be in-wall on the back wall wouldn't work too well because the left/right surrounds should really be aimed directly at the listeners.There is an additional "rear surrounds" channel that can be process in 7.1 processors, bu... | |
| New TV: what to do with TOSLINK optical output Those really cheap $8 toslink to single-ended RCA convertors that uberwaltz is showing are basically really cheap garbage DACs. mrgreenfur can certainly try one to see if the audio is acceptable, but it is definitely not going to be anywhere as g... | |
| Popular DAC that is known for its warm-ish sound? Wyred 4 Sound DAC being warmish??!? Maybe with the right warm preamp/amp. I think the whole Wyred 4 Sound company is built on being the most transparent sound, certainly not warm.I can see Audio Research being very slightly warmish as a tube dac... | |
| Best place for a Sub in my mini Theater It's actually the limitation that you have to put the viewing panel / main speakers on a long wall. I always recommend that people use the "short wall" for placing the tv / screen / main speakers because it usually works out better acoustically i... | |
| Best used integrated for under $5000 I just love on these threads where we get anyone and everyone under the sun saying "XXX is the Best!!" without really describing why or what they are actually experiencing. | |
| Best place for a Sub in my mini Theater Also, in your situation, I don't think it matters much which exact corner the sub(s) are placed. | |
| Best place for a Sub in my mini Theater I have worked in a very wide/short room like yours. Having speakers on the widest front wall lacked a lot of bass/midbass. In my specific room (which was very close to the 10' x 20' of yours), I had the best results from putting the speakers in ... | |
| Best In-Wall Rated Cable for Subwoofer Run? For subwoofer frequencies, I have found that a larger awg solid-core conductor works much better. The larger awg solid-core will transfer the bass energy much better and stronger than other conductors (smaller awg or stranded).For plenum rated ca... | |
| Setting up Home Theater with AppleTv4 Yeah, today's streaming devices are not designed with the audiophile in mind. Amazon Fire removed their optical output years ago and Roku doesn't have this either. Most of these are targeting people who just mount a flat panel TV and call it a d... | |
| Advice on pre-amps needed Just for the last few posts, hope you all realize this was a thread from 2005. | |
| Affordable Processor with Fabulous 2 Channel ? I think Eric is really saying that nobody has really come out on this thread and stated "I love my NAD processor" or "NAD processor is great because...". I have noted that NAD will tend to be on the warm side and it’s entirely a personal preferenc... | |
| Mytek Brooklyn vs manhattan Well, the Brooklyn has a switching power supply. The Manhattan has two separate fully linear power supplies with a massive amount of power supply capacitance. Just this fact alone would tell me the Manhattan is a significantly superior DAC. Tha... | |
| Bryston Mini-T Speaker or Anthem AVM-60?? Agreed. While the AVM60 will have better sound quality than the Pioneer receiver, it is -critically- important that you have a matching center channel, especially since you already have the Anthem amplifier driving those speakers. Also, it is no... |
