out of curiosity anyone know what is under the hood of a MV-5? Given the latest discussion/raving/whatever of the new player with OPPO inside I wonder. If Lexicon did not have the time or bandwidth (expertise??) to do a player I would be surprised if they could do a AV receiver. In that case whats inside and see if you can buy that?
Lexicon MV-5; Any good?
Hi all,
I am looking to add a Pre/Pro to my system and am considering the Lexicon MV-5. Many years ago a friend of mine owned a Lexicon and I was quite impressed with it. Although, at that time the Lexicon was way outside my budget. I have found one used at 1500.00, which is more in line with my budget.
Unfortunately I cannot find too many reviews on the MV-5. My current system is:
Oppo Blu Ray Player
Vandersteen 2C Speakers
Vandersteen Center Channel Speaker
Pioneer Elite 60" Plasma display
I will be using this for primarily two-channel along with surround. When in two channel, I would really like to be able to bypass any processing and have a clean signal.
Am I looking at a good processor or would it be better to spend the same money on something else?
Thanks,
Ed
