| Which Processor? I have experienced great results with a Krell HTS 2 and B&W speakers. The HTS 7.1 offers analog pass through. | |
| Best XLR cable for Wadia 850? I have a Wadia 850 and would suggest the Synergistic research res. ref mk II (x-series). I have tried the Nordost Red Dawn I/C, Cardas Ref., Harmonic Tech and non X-series Syn. Res. In my opinion, the X-Series Res. Ref. are far and away the best m... | |
| Best DVD for video and theater sound for 2000 I agree with the above recommendations. I owned the EAD product and it was great; however, I kept thinking that I paid $1,600 for a really nice Panasonic. I also own the Sony 9000ES and the Kenwood Sovereign DV-5700. The Kenwood can found for $900... | |
| Best DVD plyr for under 1000 new or used ? Tim, With the price drop on the 9000, I am thinking about buying another unit also. In my opinion, the technology will change a lot over the next 12-18 months. As a result, I am reluctant to spend $3,000+ on a DVD player and don't want to spend up... | |
| Best DVD plyr for under 1000 new or used ? I would suggest that you consider the Kenwood Sovereign DV 5700. While the list on the 5700 is $1,200, you can find them within your price range. I have the Pioneer Pro 510 and am very, very pleased with the PQ and sound. I bought and returned the... | |
| Not a question, but a revelation Aitchnu, based on my experience, I would think that the S/R X series would be a good choice. I also think that S/R products work best with other S/R products. Based on my experience, the I/Cs and speaker cables really complement each other well. B... | |
| Best Power Cord The points made by AVGuy and RedKiwi are well taken. As a general rule, I never buy anything for my system without listening to it first in my system. Nonetheless, these forums are excellent places to get starting points for items to audition and ... | |
| Not a question, but a revelation Lovely! In response to Viridian, the speakers are AP Virgos. In response to Garfish, the X 150 is a great amp. I think it is the perfect match for the Virgos and would be a good match for a number of other speakers as well. In addition to the Virg... | |
| Best Power Cord Ral,Thanks for the advice. What is the price of the Silver? | |
| What's the best Preamp?? I have heard the AVM20 and was very, very impressed. The Anthem product competes well with many, more expensive products. In an HT set-up, the AVM20 is nothing short of superb and does not give back much in two channel. Putting the value equation ... | |
| What amp & preamp/proc to get with AP Virgo III's? Audiobean,I have a pair of Virgos in my 2 channel set-up and I use an X150 to power them also. The Pass/AP combo is wonderful. While they are a little lite on the bass, the Virgos are among the absolute best that you can buy in terms of image, det... | |
| Need Detail/ Resolution with Impact and Weak Bass I agree with Djg. I have used Nautilus 805s in my HT setup for the past two years. I cannot say enough good things about the speaker. They seem to have all of the qualities that you are looking for in spades. The one caveat that I would offer is t... | |
| SACD & Wadia Digital Volume Control Sterling is correct. The only way to use a Wadia 850 or 860(861) with an SACD player at this point is to incorporate the Analog to Digital converter. I have this set up in my system and I am very happy with the results. While I am sure that there ... | |
| Bryston 9B-ST or Pass Labs X5 Thanks Sol322 and everyone else for responding. In fact, I have a REL Storm III as the sub in the set up. Based on the responses here and my own demo, I am leaning towards going with the 9B. | |
| Multi-channel amp question???? For the money, a Sunfire Cinema Grand is tough to beat. However, I think the EAD Powermaster 1000 is pretty nice sounding as well. Unfortunately, the EAD does not have balanced inputs, whereas the Cinema Grand does. |
