| cm10 S2 and Rotel RX-1050 when bi-wired on A and B speakers Rotel overheats easily I wouldn't run the B&W CM10 off an AV receiver and plus your Rotel RX1050 receiver is very old and it's time to upgrade to a new AV receiver if you want to stick with a receiver. Rotel's new current flagship AV receiver the RAP-1580 is phenome... | |
| Which stereo amp to try under $30k The McIntosh amps are pretty good but the ARC (especially their Reference line), Boulder, Luxman, Pass Labs and the D’Agostino amps are leagues ahead and big step up from McIntosh. Ayre Ref will also sound good on your B&W 802 D3.Another amp t... | |
| Which stereo amp to try under $30k Try to find a used pre-owned D’Agostino Momentum stereo power amp that can be had for around $30k or possibly less. D’Agostino Momentum amps will pair really well with a tube preamp especially the ARC Reference linestage preamps. I used to have tw... | |
| Naim Mu-so v2 as Soundbar? Correction : sorry about the mistype. I meant to say that the Naim Muso sounded quite a bit better than any soundbars out there when used for music. | |
| Naim Mu-so v2 as Soundbar? The Naim Muso sounded quite a bit better than any soundboard for music but I had never heard it used for TV viewings though so can't comment. I only heard the Muso for playing music briefly at one small Naim dealer in my town. | |
| Naim Audio system owners - What speakers are you using with Naim? You should actively get on Naim UK based own forum community. I am as well. I'm always on Naim's own community forum (UK based). Not everyone here on Agon love Naim and some here think that Naim isn't for music lovers. I remembered seeing that kin... | |
| My Bad T 748 has power but will not send sound to the speakers . Please help . Or else the HDMI board failure or HDMI switching issue. very common issues with NAD av receivers & HT processors. NAD home theater gears (AV receivers & processors) are well known for that. they are buggy, so are Rotel's & Cary Cinema... | |
| Naim Audio system owners - What speakers are you using with Naim? That's what I like about Naim electronics they sounded very natural musical smooth with a touch of warmth (intoxicated warmth) punchy full rhythmic sound. They excel really well in PRAT yet maintain its relaxed quality without sounding strain or a... | |
| Anthem AVM 60 vs Classe SSP 800 @dmk_hifi You could convert DSD to PCM in your Oppo and output multimately-channel PCM via HDMI to the Sigma SSP but I wouldn't recommend doing that as it would degrade the sound quality of your SACD. SACD (DSD) should be outputted in native DSD. ... | |
| Anthem AVM 60 vs Classe SSP 800 @dmk_hifi The Marantz AV8805 or 8802 are great choices when used for surround sound movies (home theater) but would not sound as good or as musical sounding as the Classe SSP 800 or Sigma SSP for music (both stereo & mc music). I suggest you ... | |
| Where do I start!?! In that small listening room (12×13) I assume you are only doing 2ch (stereo) for listening to music only. If you’re only doing stereo why in the world did you end up with a Denon AV receiver in the first place? Just get a very good quality stereo... | |
| Anthem AVM 60 vs Classe SSP 800 Classe SSP 800 will be superior sounding and lot more refined sounding than the Anthem AVM60. If you don't care about 4K video, Dolby Atmos, DTS-X setup, go with a used SSP 800. However, the Anthem has a phenomenal ARC2 (Anthem Room Correction). I... | |
| Naim Audio system owners - What speakers are you using with Naim? @gavman1 I've heard the Naim Statement preamp & monoblock amps paired with the Focal Utopia Grande Evo iii at last year RMAF (Rocky Mountain Audio Fest) with Naim ND 555 streamer/DAC + 555 PS DR power supply unit served as digital front end so... | |
