| Center channel amplification needed for Marquis XD, what are you using? @badaga I do not get a separate amp for center channel. Using the receiver to power it for now. The receiver's amp section is powering only the center channel. | |
| Funny question, 170lb speaker and foam base, how to remove?. @rocknss congrats. I did integrate into my HT. I use wavelet for 2.1 channels, wavelet correction is always on. Reciver calibration is done with a preset volume on Wavelet. There are two inputs on wavelet you can use for left and right from reciev... | |
| Luxman L-509X for ATC SCM 19v2/40v2, thinking integrated to start with @agrippa, ATCs are rated as 8 Ohm, they are good with more power but I do not think they will have a problem "engaging" with a reasonable amp. I have heard Harbeth which are harder to drive and they get pretty loud. It will depend on how far you s... | |
| Luxman L-509X for ATC SCM 19v2/40v2, thinking integrated to start with @intensemojo I got different speakers so I went with Benchmark AHB2.You could try Coda CSiB Integrated Amplifier. Or if you are thinking separates then there are so many options starting with the very ATC P2 amplifier. | |
| PMC Speakers Did you consider or listen to ATC?. Much better alternative to PMC. | |
| What’s a 10k to 15k speaker from smaller company that performs well? @rosami +1, but also Legacy Audio the entire range. Good luck. | |
| Funny question, 170lb speaker and foam base, how to remove?. @zephyr24069 cool, I have set them up at 8.5ft apart and sitting 10ft from them. Left speaker is 2 ft from side wall and 3 ft from back wall however. How did you integrate with home theater ? or did u not?. The marquis XD center is big! , I mean i... | |
| Funny question, 170lb speaker and foam base, how to remove?. Thanks everyone I followed the instructions of putting the boxes on and laying the speaker flat and removing the base. Just two of us were able to pull it off without any problem. @zephyr24069 Thanks for the offer, I will take it up soon. Still se... | |
| Funny question, 170lb speaker and foam base, how to remove?. @rocknss Yes I did upgrade the processor to Wavelet. Aeris comes with Wavelaunch Processor by default which you can upgrade to Wavelet. The upgrade is strongly recommended when buying a speaker at this price point. I did not have a preamp so I got... | |
| Funny question, 170lb speaker and foam base, how to remove?. @2psyop They come with room correction in the price but can be upgraded to Legacy Wavelet with SUT implementation. The Wavelet also serves as Preamp, DAC. The DAC is good as far as I can tell I could not make out any difference to my reference DAC... | |
| Funny question, 170lb speaker and foam base, how to remove?. @rocknss you should definitely take a listen, look for dealer near by. I listened to many speakers at RMAF some obscenely pricey!!.To me only Sanders system sounded better when compared to many others. Legacy sound is a also quite consistent acros... | |
| Are Pass Labs amps probably the best ever you can buy ? @cakyol The cost of the amp does not quantify the improvement in sound you are getting. If class A/B is what you are considering then getting a good implementation with first 20 watts of class A into your speaker given the impedance would be nice.... | |
| What is the best way to approach improving room acoustics? @sonyesman2 You should try Dirac Live room correct and compare with Audyssey. First place the speakers the best you can without correction given the constraints then try the correction.PS: I do have Audyssey correction from an older Marantz curren... | |
| Funny question, 170lb speaker and foam base, how to remove?. I got a good discount and purchased them at RMAF this year. Perhaps it was RMAF, I got a good discount. I did not ask for more after they offered me discount, free shipping. You should ask. | |
| SQ : Anthem receiver vs. processor @erik_squires why go with anthem when Dirac Live seems to be cornering the Hifi/ht room correction market ?. |
