| Totem Arro Vs. Sttaf Happybob,You are finding/stating that the sub, combined with the Sttafs in stereo is redundent? Are you saying that you do not feel that the sttafs need a sub and can handle the bottom octaves sufficiently by themselves (again in stereo)? Don't ge... | |
| Karaoke overload - Help My guess is that it all stems from the Kaoroke machine/mixer and related Mics. I know when I get drunk enough to go into a Kaorok Bar that the sound quality just sucks - distortion and just bad sound. Maybe that's why I sound so bad when I sing?Wh... | |
| Looking for AVR alternative to my B&K for my JM's Interesting to hear your initial comments about the B&K. I recently purchased the B&K 507 S2 just for its sound quality. Mind you, I had gone from a decent Stereo only system (Audio Research/Golden Tube Audio/Cal Audio/EAD/Thorens/Martin L... | |
| Totem Arro Vs. Sttaf Itball, were the subs hard to set up or the Hawks? If you are refering to the hawks, where is your final placement (obviously not the the inch, just a starting point). My room is nice and rectangular, but has a 6 foot wide doorway/passageway just ... | |
| Totem Arro Vs. Sttaf Update from my last report after having just received the Arros. Today I ordered a pair of Hawks. I love the Arros and am going to move them to a second zone/room and run them as stereo speakers in there.I want a little more and felt the Arros in ... | |
| Totem Arro Vs. Sttaf Sandman,I'll offer my limited 2 cents. I just this week purchased a (used) pair of Arros for my 12X18 dedicated 2CH/HT room. Ceiling is single slant cathedral running roughly 8.5' up to 11/12'.One evening of listening, since they are 2 years old, ... | |
| CD players/Transports/DACs Okay guys, not sure if this is the best place to post this, so I am also going to start a new thread. I am the original poster on this thread.CAL is no longer in business. Upgraded CAL Alphas to 24/96 are posted here on the Gon. E-mail one of the ... | |
| CD players/Transports/DACs Getting my Cal Alpha re-tubed and will give it a go again. Thanks for the advise. My sub is a B&W (I think the 675) and the B&W speakers are the 600 Series. They served their purpose of getting my room established and were a quick and pain... | |

| Standard Def PQ On Current Panasonic Plasmas? I just last week upgraded a Philips 50" to the Panasonic 50" PX6U.Picture quality of the Panny is noticeably better than the Philips (especially the day I hooked up the Panny after having the Philips for less than a month before it totally died! U... | |
| HDMI and Component I bought a cheap HDMI cable from http://www.mcminone.com/search.asp?keyword=hdmi+cablefor about $25 while I was waiting for a much more expensive back-ordered cable. Finally got the back ordered cable, hooked it up. Unhooked it and returned it.No ... | |
| Looking to downgrade...possibly If you select a Denon, last years model and this years are the same with sound quality. Only differences are set-ups, switching and possibly SS effects.Having found my 3 year never used AVR3802 (moved several times over the past couple of years), ... | |
| Back in the states, time to rebuild - need advice Regarding running the vid signal throught the receiver or direct to the TV. Don't do it, go direct to the TV whenever you can. With a limited budget on the processor, what do you give up to get the upconversion? Sound quality? Quality of other com... | |
| multichannel amplifier for B&W 805 S I too run the B&W speakers, currently running the 600 series, but also listened with a friends 802S.I went with a receiver vs. separates, but one that is upgradeable to separates, the B&K 506 S2. LP $3,500 is, used about $2,200-$2,500.Prev... | |
| Arcam vs. NAD vs. Rotel AV Units Of those mentioned, I would say the Arcam (I have only heard the 300, not the 350 unfortunately). FYI, I ended up with the B&K 507 which I liked best. The B&K excelled in stereo over the Arcam IMHO, but the Arcam was also very good.HT more... |
