I'm looking for a nice phono stage to pair with a Marantz TT-15S1. I looked at some of the offerings from Pro-Ject (since I can get them at a discount) and it seems like the Tube Box S might be a good choice but I don't have anywhere around me to check it out in person. Does anyone have...

I'm looking for an AVR that has zone 2 capabilities and a/b switching for my parents. I haven't had any trouble finding something with a powered zone 2, but it seems like manufacturers have done away with avr's that have a/b switching as well (previously they had a Marantz SR6006 but it died)...

I think they're hideous, but that's just me.

So I began the installation today. We have not been able to setup the marantz/focal combination yet, nor have we calibrated the televisions, so my thoughts on these will be coming later. As far as the magnepan/emotiva combination goes: HOLY ****. I can't believe that speakers at this price point...

Oh and in response to the person that wasn't sure if Magnolia would survive-it's actually what's keeping Best Buy afloat. That and BBY Mobile are the only places in the store that they actually make a profit.

It's important to understand the difference between Magnolia Design Center and Magnolia Home Theater. I used to work for BBY in their Magnolia Home Theater section and the difference between MHT and MDC is HUGE. MDCs can get the entire lineup of Sonus Faber, MartinLogan (which the sales people...

Hi guys, I just wanted to get your input on a couple of things. I've been asked to design a home theater/hifi system for a family friend and I wanted to see if you all could take a look at what I've selected and give me your feedback. He already had his heart set on the televisions so while I'd...

I can't comment on their claims but I got to hear the Qsub-18 yesterday. It was, without question, the most powerful, tightly controlled, and cleanest bass I've ever heard.

I'll be at CEDIA in a couple of weeks and magico is supposed to have a room there. I'm hoping they'll have a qsub for demo and will be posting my thoughts if they do.

"Unlike many soundbars, the DM 900 is designed to work without a receiver." Since when is ANY soundbar designed to work with a receiver?

Not sure how to describe it, but it's really big. It's very long with a clear jacket. It's very difficult to unplug once you get it in to something. Annoyingly so.

The cable doesn't work if I plug it in to my PC but neither does a dynex ethernet cable that I had in my box of cables.

So I have a Marantz UD5007. It has no wifi capabilities and my modem is nowhere near the unit so I decided to use an existing wifi extender's "direct-to-pc" connection in order to get a network connection to it. Basically it entails creating a network extension and then hardwiring it in to the...

Will it create a problem? I'm thinking about buying the Pro-Ject Perspex Superpack that includes a Sumiko Blue Point EVO III MC cartridge and pairing it with the Arcam AV888 Pre-Amp which only has an MM Phono input. Do I need to buy a separate phono stage that can handle a MC?

If tomorrow you could put together the two channel system of your dreams (and cost was truly no object) what equipment would you select and what is the first recording you would listen to on it? Music CD/SACD: Mahler's Symphony No. 9 performed by the London Symphony Orchestra with Valery...

I've been perusing the websites and reviews of some "ultra high end" speaker manufacturers and am curious about the aluminum enclosures being used in speakers from Magico and YG acoustics. Wouldn't aluminum cause huge resonance within the cabinet? What benefits would it provide that would make...

Well... I don't know if anyone is interested in the original question still, but B&W appears to be dishonest with their impedance ratings, although they do specify both nominal and minimum impedance which I've found helpful lately. Magico, YG Acoustics, MartinLogan, Status Acoustics and most...

I bought a set of Klipsch outdoor speakers from Best Buy that I've hooked up to the sonos connect:amp and they sound great. I think they were around $300.
