| best pre/pro under $5,000 EAD Clearly Comes Out on Top for sound quality and looks. Not for ergonomics though...I am a EAD owner. Good Luck. | |
| Good Scene to test surrounds Gladiator Chpt. 7 I think (They take him out to give him a proper soldier's death - The blade gets stuck from frost - When he throws the sword to hit the guy on the horse you feel the sword go swooshing overhead - a little scary)Any THX movie like... | |
| Lexicon MC-12 or Meridian 861? I like the Meridian 861 for sound quality.I like the MC-12 for surround functionality.Another bargain that offers better sound quality IMHO is a used EAD 8800 Pro. I compared my old 8000 next to the MC12 and thought the EAD sounded better in stere... | |
| Best Used Solid State Amp for less than $5000? I opted for the Rowland Model 10I really liked the plinius and pass too | |
| Speaker to match Mark Levinson and Jeff Rowland I have Revel Studio's with Rowland Model 10. | |
| EAD TheatreMaster 8000/8800 ? I agree. Analog bypass is fantastic with EAD. I use 6 of the channels for SACD and plan to use the other 2 for something like Vinyl. | |
| Amp for NHT 2.9's As far as cables go: I agree with Jimmyrod. Buy Cardas or Transparent.As far as amps go: I owned Bryston, Classe, and ultimately found the best fit with the Mark Levinson no.27 or no. 23. These two Levinson's warm nature and the cardas interconnec... | |
| EAD TheatreMaster 8000/8800 ? I have had my 8000 for 2 years.I love it and find it one of the BEST at 2 channel stereo and above avg. at HT.It took me about 2 months to figure it out 100%. The good thing is it intimidates my wife from playing with my gear. That would be a plus... | |
| Dynaudio S5.4 vs B&W 802 My experience that you need a lot of juice to tighten up the bottom end of the 802N.You may also want to consider some used Dynaudio Confidence C5's. Very very nice.Hope this helps. | |
| Any WARM, MUSICAL speakers out there? I would like to second the Vienna Acoustic Mahlers. I almost bought them for myself when I was looking 2 months ago. I heard them hooked up to plinus amp and Meridian transport/pre. Magical...I kept thinking ear candy...sweet warm sound...you coul... | |
| Best Amp for my new Speakers? Thorman,The answer from my dealer is the Levinson 432 (400 watts/channel)- More than I want to spend right now.Pootie,Will the 150 watt Rowland 10 be enough juice for say a 15 ft by 20 ft room? I know the gear sounds nice.Bigkidz,I am not that fam... | |
| How can i ...... Take care not to warp the frame of the driver as you try to shimmy it out. If you do, you may as well toss it in the trash. Dont ask me how I know :)Also, if it is in a sealed enclosure you it may not be able to seal it back up after you replace i... | |
| Best new/demo/used value for $7.5K range Thanks for the feedback so far. The more to consider the merrier!I went and listened to a pair of 802Ns (demo) for 5K today and was a little under impressed. They were hooked up to Bryston gear- I am not sure that is a good combo. The t's and S's ... |
