Anthem AVM 20 V.2, Outlaw 990, or ???
I very briefly looked into just the potential sound quality differences between the AVM 20 and AVM 30 before I got my AVM 20 (there is none). The only differences I can remember is a better display on the 30 and a faster processor for faster sourc... 
Anthem AVM 20 V.2, Outlaw 990, or ???
I actually had a chance to borrow a 990 for a day and I own an AVM 20 V.2 There's no comparison at all in sound quality (my use is, oddly enough, 95% two channel listening, despite not owning a dedicated pre)--the Anthem wins in a landslide. I fig... 
Question about making 2.1 home theatre work
Try what Jalanc42069 suggested. Tell the Panasonic, "no sub". Use the the high level connections that connect directly to the binding posts and set the cross over on the REL. Run your front speakers as large and set the x-over on the REL to around... 
Vienna Acoustics setup questions
Well, whatever else you decide to do from this point on, you can rest easy that $500 for those speakers is just silly good. You seem like you're somewhat following the path I'm on. I have Beethovens and, for about a week, used them with an 85 watt... 
Amp for VA Beethoven
Thank you very much. I will look for a good deal on a 4b-sst. I've tried searching on the forums, but can't find a good explanation of the different 4b models. I've come across the 4b-st, 4b-sst and the 4b-sst c. If anyone has any links that might... 
Amp for VA Beethoven
Well the KSA-250 Jmcgrogan2 mentioned has a lot of power. He also made a great point about hidden costs though with an amp that old. I've never heard any of the other amps suggested. A few years ago I heard a pair of Beethovens with Krell monos (n... 
Amp for VA Beethoven
Thanks for the suggestions. I hadn't considered any of those items. Any thoughts as to how the older Krell's would compare in this situation? 
Out of control bass--help
Well, first things first I guess...Should I be using the Anthem crossover or the REL crossover? Does the Anthem crossover apply to both high and low level REL connections? 
Very cheap, very small, sort of powerful 3 ch amp
Thanks for the responses. I hadn't actually thought of bridging a six channel amp. That approach seems to pose a problem though. My understanding of how bridging works is that it halves the impedence that the amp sees. In fact, the Rotel RMB 1066 ... 
Killer Specs for High End PC in 2006
Nope, 2007 is exactly the same as 2006. 2008 will bring more of the same too. Some important points:-"high end video card" and "silent computing" is like trying to mix oil and water. You can have one or the other, but not both. Hence my original s... 
Programs for File management - HELP
Well, you're talking about two different things here. You may very well have tagged them properly, however, what you see when you open a folder on your hard drive are the file names--two different things. One of the conveniences of a tagging progr... 
Programs for File management - HELP
Interesting thread. It sounds like people here haven't discovered tagging software. There is never a need to rerip a disc as Kublakhan seems to be suggesting. I would suggest Tag & Rename, it supports id3, ape, flac and multiple other tagging ... 
Vienna Acoustics Bach Grand
Agreed with the previous poster. I have 2 pairs of the old Bach's and 1 set of Beethoven's. My Beethoven's are 10' apart at the outside front corners for a listening position that's only 9 feet away. They're a full 2' away from the back wall and t... 
Roku SoundBridge vs. SqueezBox3
Terrat, a simple tinfoil hat should keep out the microwaves. I'm afraid it won't do much for those voices in your head though... 
Going over to the Dark Side?
Cwlondon, many of us think otherwise because the burden of proof is on our side. Please provide some evidence of your fantastic hearing and sound system in you convertible. Specifically, use the foobar ABX test--post the results here. Also please ...
