| Anyone own one of these preamps ? I had the Anthem STR Stack (pre/amp) and loved it! Yes the ARC is great for home theater as referenced above but it was also very handy for my 2.2 system. I am able to tailer the sound to how I like it and is has great bass management when using s... | |
| Need recommendation for 300B (SET) Stereo amplifier To piggy back on Finale Audio recommendation, I would highly agree. I have the Finale 300B EVO and couldn't be happier. It's paired with a "not compatible" speaker, the Evolution Acoustics MMicro One. My plan was to use those speakers then sell th... | |
| Decent speakers for mid-level AVR Before I make a suggestion, have you had someone run the DIRAC Live calibration? If not, I would strongly suggest to that before you buy new speakers. You don't mention what speakers you currently have that you're wanting to replace. DIRAC allows ... | |
| Backert Labs preamp, now a New Power Amp An amp that gets slept on a lot and I'd pit against your considerations as well as the suggests in the responses is the Anthem STR Power Amp. I used mine to power various speakers in my system and others including 8" single driver full range to Au... | |
| Speaker for 300b amp? I guess my set up is a little out of left field but I'm running the Evolution Acoustic Micro One speakers with my Finale 300b evo and it's does just fine. The speakers are 88db efficient and I would go any lower. I had a pair of PS Audio FR5 that ... | |
| Budget Powered Speakers I've had my Audioengine A1 with a simple 8" sub for several years and have been super happy. They are well reviewed, been around a long time and have all sorts of models to fit your budget | |
| Streamers - Can any host files? Buy an external drive, copy your files that you have to it and then plug it into the USB of any streamer. I have been using that very set up with my auralic, eversolo and innuos streamers I've had, works perfectly. | |
| So sad about Netflix sound quality. No one can hear it @emergingsoul Yes, I am a fan of the KScape product. Their library is quite large both in their movie as well as their TV selections. Yes you have to pay for them, be it a rental or out right purchase, just like every other streaming servic... | |
| So sad about Netflix sound quality. No one can hear it Premium audio/video quality and streaming shouldn't be in the same sentence. | |
| Is it worth upgrading from Denon X8500HA to JBL Synthesis SDP 58? I would suggest the Anthem AVM90 over both of them. The ARC is pretty intuitive and not difficult to run. There are a few people out there that will take you ARC file and tweak it further if you don't want to. | |
| ??? How Good Are Pathos "Inpol" Amplifiers Really ??? I bought the Logos from Upscale and I was very impressed with the sound of it! Be it not a Inpol version, I would still take it over anything in it's price range. I had the Anthem STR Stack prior btw Divorced forced the sale of it and I picked u... | |
| Optimized Center Channel @mm1tt77 Yes I am versed in KScape, it's a fantastic product. You would correct that in the cases of a stream only movie or TV show so, no, the KScape wouldn't work. KScape isn't an app based product like an AppleTV. Meaning you don't loads apps... | |
| Optimized Center Channel @traubr Yeah, a few years ago it was a ton to get into them but they've realized that very issue and have changed a lot over the last 5yrs or so. It's still more than an AppleTV or Roku Ultra but it's come way down. I'm looking at the UMIK on th... | |
| Optimized Center Channel @traubr I’d like to point out two things that others have mentioned and my feedback. First off, you’re using a modded appletv to stream. The file you’re hearing is compressed heavily in the audio department and you lose a lot of the info. It doe... | |
| Do you have a speaker that’s not a big name maker but punches above its weight? Why? My vote is an easy one for me, the Aurum Cantus V7F Rosewood finish. Absolutely stunning cabinet finish, efficient so it works with a lot of amps, really great sound with good usable bass down to 40hz (in my smaller dedicated room) and I paid $4k ... |
