Niether speaker excel in bass capability but the E55ti has a much larger soundstage and better midrange performance b/c of the MTM array. Pair those speakers with one or two of the 1010i subs and you've got a system that plays very LOUD and Clean. Those are good prices as a pair of the 1010...

As far as the latest Denon and Marantz receivers, they are more alike than they are different. The latest generation of Marantz receivers are 95% Denon. They have a few upgrades in the analog sections over the equivalent Denon models and that is it. Marantz did the right thing allowing Denon...

In this case the "new" gear costs less :) I just don't see that many AVPs for sale these days but hey its a good business to take a high value product in for trade, then turn around and sell it while also selling the client an "upgrade".

Sorry your prior posts were from a Mexico IP address. I appreciate your generous offer of flying me out to your place to run a test. But before you buy my plane ticket and arrange for lodging, I think it would be best for you to publish your test plan here along with photos of your ABX Box...

Downgrading is the new upgrading :D

Audiogon has one AVP for sale with a $5k asking price and the seller is in the USA not Mexico. and I ask again, were you able to switch between the processors instantaneously? What kind of switch box was used. Where was the configuration of the processors? What type of source material was...

Your comment about the AVP jitter is interesting. Did you measure it with a logic analyzer? Oh wait, you don't believe in measurements or specs but it's convenient for you to sight an actual measurable phenomenon as the culprit for your dissatisfaction with the product. How does "Jitter"...

I know more people and Denon/Marantz than you probably realize like the engineers actually designing the stuff. The 8801 is a fine processor but it's not meant to be a direct replacement for the AVP, especially in the analog section. I can't say too much about what I know of Denon/Marantz...

You definitely speak like a dealer and not someone with a shred of technical background. I don't go by specs, I go by what I measure. I also physically test the units in my reference system for comparative purposes. The 4520 Receiver preamp outputs are NOT equivalent to the AVP Processor...

I can tell you without question that the preamp out section of the Denon AVP processor is SUPERIOR in EVERY way to a Marantz PM-11S3. I'm not overly impressed with the latest HDAM topology Marantz is using. It has higher distortion and less output drive than the older version. As far as...

That's not a good idea. If you use F/B/LFE only the LFE sub will get LFE signal. F/B will NOT.

Don't use the Front/Back setting for the very reason you posted here. I don't believe there is a mono-mix for the 2 or 3 sub mode on the 5805 so you have two options at this point 1. use single sub out and y-splitter but then you lose independent trim/delay settings for dual subs 2. use L/R...

Future FB contests won't be run like this again. I am looking into getting an App to manage this. FB is a real pain in the ***. Thanks for the suggestions.

At Cedia it had to be cranked up almost to max bc of the bright room. Setting it greater than 35% yields undesirable results. You need a light controlled environment for it to work well.

You may want to see if Axiom will trade up the amp in your sub. The V1 EP500 had a brickwall filter below 20Hz which caused excessive group delay and may be partly responsible for your sonic issues. I believe they have since then removed the filter and also improved the reliability of their...

Or you can get the real deal and get the fabulous Denon AVP processor or newer Marantz ones for a fraction of the cost.

For $100 upgrade when buying a new Blu-ray player is a definite Gotta Have It! However, the stand alone unit is like $350. I will test it on my projector and report back.

Have you actually tried this feature first hand before criticizing it? I saw the demo at CEDIA and was very impressed. I have an individual Darbee unit I will be testing next month as well.

That is a 3rd Party App. We are looking for a solution that isn't too expensive and easy to implement for the next round.
