B&K AVR307 used or other new AVR?
Just picked one up usedBlew a main channel already after a week, just my luck by all means no gripe it happensAs far as sound, its very flat. It's sounds good for movies but not as warm as i like for music. Thinking about using my Marantz as a Pre... 
Loud thump then whistle.. Speaker is dead
TimlubGot some time today and did exactly what you suggested. It has to be the channel because the speaker worked... Good and bad, sucks cause just picked up this B&K avr307 
Best isolation under a big receiver ?
My background is live sound. The fact that they make combo amps with the amp inside the speaker cab and assuming these principles apply to all amps in general really baffles me. They would design and sell these combos for thousands without properl...

Best isolation under a big receiver ?
Just picked up am AVR 307I'm a newb, so what I'm gathering is I should put a large wooden block under this receiver and it will improve the sound along with getting the cables off the ground? 
ADS L1090 or HPM 100's
I have more stupid questions.... Go figure!Johnny appreciate all your expertise. I run 2270, so you think I need more power? I can just run the Marantz into a high powered amp, like a pre-amp?I was thinking about the bennefits of a phono pre-amp, ... 
ADS L1090 or HPM 100's
My Marantz and the 1090s sound pretty sick. Image like a mofo is right. The music sounds like it's coming from the record player across the room. I experimented with the speaker placement a little bit and found the sweet spot and it's magical. I c...

Johnny and LoomisThanks for your reponses, very helpful 
ADS L1090 or HPM 100's
Also I want to add, the question isn't regarding the performance of ads vs hpm 100; but what speaker would compliment the ads l570's being the hpms are more bass heavy and would eliminate the use of a sub. I never had a chance to hear either in ac...

Speaker configuration Marantz 2270
Just picked up some kg 4'sHave the ads L 570's stacked on top tweeter to horn. Does sound a little shrill on some very high notes, overall really enjoying this set up. Will crank it up more tomorrow to hear the difference at higher volumes. 
Speaker configuration Marantz 2270
I decided on a pair of ADS L570'sAt first I wasn't quite sure what all the fuss was about. After a while of listening these speakers I started to lime them a lot more. They are very uncoloured and flat.. Takes a little getting use to. Great for ja... 
Speaker configuration Marantz 2270
I have three candidates thus farBoston accostic a200Ads L570 (from a cool Member of this board)Or Klipsch kg 2.5 with matching sub All three models appear to be in good condition all in the same price range. Without the ability to hear these speak...
