| Anyone see the Runco cl-410? Is it any good? Yes, the 410 is very good at its price point. In fact, I'd say you'd have to spend almost twice the $3500 price tag to beat it. The picture is very bright, sharp and clear. It has outstanding contrast and picture depth. With the black level and co... | |
| ProAc Ref 8 vs. 8 Signature vs 1S vs 1SC I think ProAc monitors are a great choice for small rooms. And you can't really go wrong with any of the speakers you listed. If it was my money, I'd get the 8 Sigs over the Ref 8s, with the 1SC and 1S coming in 3rd and 4th. The above poster is ri... | |
| Best Speaker to use with Arcam AVR300? Denon, just so you know I'm not burned out, :-) but I don't have any experience with Triangle products. I suggest opening a new thread for opinions on the Titus 202. Good luck. | |
| Best Speaker to use with Arcam AVR300? I'm a big fan of Arcam recievers, actually all their products, and mine sounds great with my Maggie 1.6s. The Maggies have a reputation of demanding quite a bit of power, but I've heard them sound great on Arcam's 40 watt A-65+. And the AVR300 is ... | |
| Arcam FMJ CD33 vs Cary 306/200 I think the CX-7e would meet your needs for imaging, soundstage and slam. It has a very clean sound, more so than smooth I'd say. Very nice, full bass. A Soundstage that goes outside the speakers, and most of all, great front to back depth.I must ... | |
| AVP-S How good on 2 chanel and movies? Jeanene, great to hear you are happy with your purchase! That's a pretty big step-up also getting the PMDT :-). I found a PMDT manual, and there are several possibilites why you can't get them to talk together: 1st, I thought that when you bought ... | |
| Arcam FMJ-33 vs. Ayre CX-7 Thanks for picking me up on the DCS & Wolfson DACs Bigtee. You're absolutely right. :-) | |
| Arcam FMJ-33 vs. Ayre CX-7 I agree that I think the CD23 would be a better purchase for the price than the CD33. The 23 used the Wolfson ring dac technology. Then Arcam changed them out for the 33. And now the 36 is coming out. You can get the 23 for about $500 less than th... | |
| Theta Dreadnaught as a two channel amp Yes, the Dreadnaught 1 and IIs are both outstanding for 2 channel listening and will be competetive, if not better, than most high-end 2 channel amps. You can get a 5 channel version and mute the center and surround channels so the mains get a lit... | |
| what dvd player to use with linn? I'd recommend any of the Arcams. DV-88, 88P, DV27A or DV79. The DV-88 and 88P (progressive) will give you the most bang for the buck. 27A is lights out and gives you DVD-Audio, but pricey still. The DV-79 gives you HDMI capabilities. The best pict... | |
| Arcam FMJ CD33 vs Cary 306/200 The last think I'd call the Ayre is bass-shy. That is 1 of the things that impressed me the most with the Ayre is how well it fills the room with bass. In fact, I don't even run my Maggie 1.6s with a sub right now, I'm so happy with the Ayre for b... | |
| Arcam FMJ CD33 vs Cary 306/200 I'd say your feelings about using the Sony as a transport are right on. I wasn't blown away by the Sony on CD playback. SACD was pretty good however. I've heard good things about both the Benchmark and Bel Canot DACs, but haven't heard them in per... | |
| Ayre V-3 vs V-5 or even V-1 I've listened to a V-3 directly against a V-5 on ProAc D25s. The most noticeable difference was in the bass. The V-5 filled the room better. I'd say the V-3 was 85-90% of the V-5 in all other areas. I was fairly surprised at how well the V-3 fared... | |
| Arcam FMJ CD33 vs Cary 306/200 I've never heard the Cary, but I can comment on the Linn and Arcam players. The Linn would be very good for jazz and exceptional for classical music, but it has an almost hypnotizing sound and would not deliver the slam you're looking for. The Arc... | |
| Which CD player should I consider for my system ? Out of the ones you listed the CD73 is easily the most musical to me. Then the NAD. The 73 is a stepup over the 72, and it costs less than the 72 did new. The Planet was so polite sounding I thought it crossed over to being boring. Generally, peop... |
