Given an Onkyo Integra M 504 today. Worth keeping?
Nice! I just realized I can use my Oppo with variable volume!~   
Whole reference system was stolen, now need new speakers on a low budget. Concept 50?
The Focal Trio Be are internally triamped with about 450 watts of bespoke amplification. They are around $6000 a pair but you wouldn't need to buy an amp. You would only get these if you already have a preamp or a dac, otherwise get something lik...

My question for the OP is if the current request for advice is intended for a temporary solution until thing’s hopefully get sorted with the insurance company or if you’re now on a different path entirely.  I think I am going to do things diffe...

It does not but I make no accusations and pass no blame. But no, what you say above does not clear things up a bit. I’ve been in the industry way too long. No way did your agent come out once a year to verify your possessions and then the insurer...

Did you have a replacement cost coverage policy?  The scheduled was written in with language that lays out: If piece is less than 8 years old and the original company is still in business, a new replacement is to be used UNLESS the company sti...

Anybody use a tube preamp with their home theater system?
I have done this for the last 6 years. Currently Anthem AVM 70 and McIntosh C2700. I don't really notice much of a difference with it in pass through mode, I got it solely for two channel listening. Anthem isn't on for that.

So a funny thing happened when I sold my MX122 and C2500 and replaced them with the Anthem AVM 90 and McIntosh C2700.....the 802's sound like completely different speakers. I must have listened to 20 hours of music either through the 2700 or multi...

I would love to, but being in Alabama can make it really hard to audition speakers. Funny thing happened, When I posted this topic, it was while my new preamp and processor were in route. I have had the McIntosh C2700 for about week now the D3's s... 
McIntosh c2700 users please chime in?
f you are buying a new C2700, expect no discount. If it’s a C2600 or C2500 which have both been discontinued than expect a discount. McIntosh is very strict with the pricing on current equipment and most (notice I said most) dealers won’t give a ...

It might have been helpful to mention what's in front of them: :Surround Proessor : AVM90 Preamp: McIntosh C2700 Tube MC452 MC207 MC205 SACD: McIntosh MCD301 blu ray: Oppo -203    
B&W 802's tweeter dented invert
It happened to mine, I had to replace it. It will eventually sound very harsh. 
B&W N802's and Room Size
Thanks for your input guys. The MC162 is 320 watts when it is bridged, would this be sufficient? 
McIntosh Question
