| Pioneer m90 and c90 I have two Pioneer Elite M91 power amps and a Krell KSA-250 in my HT system (the M91s are used for the center channel and surrounds). I have also used both amps (bi-amped in the case of the M91s) in a stereo system with B&W 801Ns. Sure, the M9... | |
| TV 1080P resolution Make sure you are using an HDMI cable to connect your DirectTV box to the TV. This is the only way you can transfer a 1080p signal. Component cables can only transfer up to 1080i. | |
| 6 channel volume controller? Krell HTS 7.1. This is what I use mine for, decoding is done via the BD player. | |
| My love of music is killing me. Dean your loss and subsequent pain has given us all something very important to think about. "Hug your kids ..please". How right you are, a great message, thanks! | |
| Crossroads 2010 dvd/blu-ray This is a great blu-ray recording, both visually and sound wise. My reference track is; Derek Trucks & Susan Tedeschi Band - Midnight In Harlem. Not only a truly beautiful song played extremely well, it is also visually stunning for a live con... | |
| HT Preamps with GOOD 2 channel sound? Try the Krell HTS 7.1.I have one and its sounds great to me on digital or 2 channel analogue. | |
| Krell mono blocks and wilson watt puppy's The older Krell amps (I have a KSA-250) can easily be switched between 100V up to 240V (there are 3 internal jumpers to set) and will operate on 50Hz or 60Hz. This is not true of the newer Krell amps which have a power input frequency sensing circ... | |
| Quad 405 Updated .... Any Knowlege on this upgrade If the upgrade is from MK1 to MK11 status, yes, the upgrade is significant. I had an early MK1 unit driving a pair of Yamaha NS-1000M speakers (a know difficult load) and the amp would definitely clip at high levels. No problem at all when I upgra... | |
| Yamaha NS1000M Reliability I have had mine for 28 years (?). Yes, I have destroyed the HF drivers once, due to a stupid mistake, entirely my fault! Other than this one incident, they have worked flawlessly for the last 28 years. Still sound fine to me and the surrounds on t... | |
| Jef Beck "Performing Ronnie Scotts" LP Try the blu-ray disc. The video and audio quality are exceptional. | |
| Squezebox + iTunes + FLAC Thanks to all for your response. Seems the way to go is to convert FLAC to Apple lossless using Max. I will try this. The OS is Mac Snow Leopard. | |
| TAD Reference loudspeakers-How good are they? I was lucky enough to attend the Munich show in 2004, when the TAD 1s were being demonstrated against other high end loud speakers (Wilson, Sonus Faber etc.). Here is the link to my report on this usual demonstration:http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-... | |
| Krell Showcase Processor Voltage conversion You are out of luck, I had exactly the same problem when I moved from the US to France. All newer Krell equipment (including the Showcase processor) has a voltage/frequency chip on the power supply. If you try to use a step down transformed to go ... | |
| Voltage Conversion Are you moving from the US to a 50Hz country? If you are, there are two options. Simply have the Krell/ML agent in the country you are going to convert from 110V/60Hz to whatever 50Hz voltage you need (I know, horrendously expensive!). Or alternat... | |
| High Efficiency Speakers Your top 3 or more I don't think anyone has mentioned Avantgarde Acoustic horn loudpeakers yet? Avantgarde Trios have a specified efficiency (1Watt/1m) of >109 dB, beat that! I am sure someone will. |
