    Parasound A23+ vs. Emotiva XPA-DR2

    My bad. I confused posts on that sentence. Also, thanks for answering my question, even when I asked it incorrectly.

    Parasound A23+ vs. Emotiva XPA-DR2

    Thank you for all the input everyone! In the end, I know that it is all about what my ears, style, and budget can afford.

    Parasound A23+ vs. Emotiva XPA-DR2

    So go with a Crown XLS 1002 and don’t look back because it sounds just as good as a Bryston, Emotiva, or McIntosh amp? And is dramatically less expensive.

    Parasound A23+ vs. Emotiva XPA-DR2

    Got it. That’s a tough thing for me to hear and absorb vs the amount of noise that is out there. I did audition me Venere 2.0 books against many other books. The only others that I liked more were the 805D3 and Olymica I books but they were $4k more. Now that I’m in a better position...

    Parasound A23+ vs. Emotiva XPA-DR2

    Well that’s a douche move by them. So, just to confirm, fully balanced differential amps have no audible improvement over linear AB and Class D designs?

    Parasound A23+ vs. Emotiva XPA-DR2

    So what if I pick up a pair of B&W 805D3 or Monitor Audio PL100II speakers? Should I upgrade my XPA-5 Gen2 amp? Or is it enough? I’d like to have input before making such expensive purchases.

    Parasound A23+ vs. Emotiva XPA-DR2

    Ok, I just looked up this amp. No. I can not afford a $15k used mc1kw. I’m just questioning if I can get more sound quality than what I have with my current setup. After all of the reading of reviews and forums and visits to multiple shops, I’m still stuck on my next move. Every review...

    Parasound A23+ vs. Emotiva XPA-DR2

    I have Venere 2.0 Speakers (89db/6-Ohm/50-200W). Marantz AV8802A prepro. Of course XLR to my current XPA-5 Gen2 amp. I do not believe I need all this power. I was referred to the MC-452 but then I saw the price tag. I’ve only heard the MC-452 on B&W 802 and Sonus Faber Olympica I speakers...

    Parasound A23+ vs. Emotiva XPA-DR2

    What about the fully balanced design. Is there an audible difference with this design? Kind of the same as McIntosh’s Quad-Balanced amps?

    Marantz AV8802 - Review Movies & Music

    I just picked up the AV8802A 2 weeks ago. I used the CA: Winter Soldier movie for demo comparisons with my Pioneer Elite SC-65 AVR that I was using for a prepro. I received the same kind of results. In the scene where CA and BW are attacked by the missile at the original SHIELD base, when the...

    Oppo BDP-103D Blu-ray Player with Darbee Visual Processing

    I just got one of these players last night. Picture and sound are great out of the box. All default settings for right now. Will try and do some adjusting tonight.

    I'd like to know the difference also.

    Need help with system purchase

    I agree with the comments: Go dual subs. If it's too expensive to get a second Ultra now, you can try later if you have the patience. I was on the fence for a couple months about adding a second sub to my 3045 cu ft room. I am now sold and will never go back to single sub configuration...
