integra dhc 80.1
The DHC 80.2 will be released next month and includes the new Audyssey XT 32 which is reason enough to wait a bit. This is just a higher resolution version of the normal XT that comes on the 80.1. 
Best Subwoofer you've ever heard???
The JL F113 is the best sub I have ever owned but if you want more spl for movies then multiples are in order.In the majority of rooms you are going to get the best response at the LP with multiple subs rather than one. If cost is a concern I woul... 
Using 2 Subwoofers
2 subwoofers are better than 1 as 3 are better than 2 and 4 are better than 3.The most common misconception about multiple subs is that is will be too loud. The truth is that multiple subs reduce distortion and take care of multiple room modes whi... 
Help with sub upgrade
I have to agree with the JL Audio subs but instead of 1 F113 like the previous posts suggest just go for the pair of F112's.If you have any woodworking skills then you can get comparable performance and save some big $$$ in the process. My DIY sub... 
Genesis APM-1 to AV123 Strata Mini. Upgrade or
I have never heard the Strata Mini but have heard the APM-1's which are fine speakers. Just looking at the specs I would guess the APM-1's are the better speakers especially in the bass.AV123 does have a 30-day return policy but I imagine you woul... 
Add a subwoofer to Von Schweikert 4Srs?
More often than not the best placement for your mains is not great for bass. In my room full range speakers just don't deliver the bass I crave in my listening position. I have an older pair of VS VR4 MKII and now a pair of Aerial 9's and neither ... 
How do you negotiate a cure for wrong audio view
When I first saw this post I thought I would find someone gracing us with his view about how we should all think.When I then thought about it I realized I too fall into this trap. The best systems I have owned made me forget about the equiptment a... 
Earthquake Supernova MKVI
I think they are excellent subs if you get them for about $1,000 used. The JL Audio Fathom F113 is better musically but the Earthquake really shines with movies. I have owned both the Earthquake and JL Audio but the JL works a lot better in pairs ... 
Klipsch forte II what league are they in?
They are great cinema speakers. If driven with the right electronics they can sound pretty musical as well. As far as what league they are in I would say the big leagues for movies and in the middle of the pack for music. 
Anyone try and compare the Halcro SSP 100 or 80?
Hey Jrunr,I have a friend who replaced his CB3 with the Halcro as the CB3 had some kind of problem when watching satellite that drove him crazy.He has said that the Halcro is better for movies but the CB3 was better for music. I believe he would h... 
Anyone try and compare the Halcro SSP 100 or 80?
The Meridian G68 has no HDMI switching but I believe they have a switcher that can be added for video only. I don't think the 861 has HDMI yet but I would suspect them to have it this year since Meridian owns Faroudja.I have a Toshiba HD DVD playe... 
Anyone try and compare the Halcro SSP 100 or 80?
I had to finally chime in again on this thread since I started it.I took the plunge and picked up a Halcro SSP-100 and have been using it for about a month now.I have to admit to being a bit skeptical about the great things I have been hearing but... 
EAD Powermaster 8300
This is probably a dead thread but just in case I will add my 2 cents.I currently have a EAD 8300 and am extremely pleased with it. I also have a EAD PM1000 and used to own the PM2000.The PM 2000 is the best of all 3 amps but mostly in the lower b... 
Bryston SP2 vs Meridian 861
If your main player is the 596 than go for the Meridian. The DAC's in the 861 and G68 are the same if not better.I had a G68 which was the best sounding digital pre-amp for music I have ever owned. Movies were also the best with the G68. D_Edwards... 
Subwoofer w/ most SPL's For Music Only System
I second the Bag End comment from Bob.I have tried all the subs you mentioned and of the 3 I would probably go HGS-15 1st, Earthquake 2nd and the Sunfire Sig last.The Earthquake 15 is an excellent sub though for music as well and hits harder than ...
