SVS SB-2000 on its way in five days!

I plan to have both setups in the living room for A/b comparisons of Amp speaker combos. Once I choose the winning combo, the second set will go the bedroom for more mellow duties. I am a fake audiophile, and a lazy amateur, in that I am more focused on the music and less on the gear. I listen...

I have now bought a pair of Harbeth 30.s, and a Peachtree Nov 220SE for a second room. So i plan to park buying the sub for now!

Just moved to the Bay Area, so can get most subs.

Any thoughts on subwoofers? I need one with a speaker level input as my Naim Nait 5si does not have a dedicated sub out.

I live in Bangalore with not much opportunity to do demos of Naim and Kef - the nearest Kef is 40 km away, and the nearest Naim dealer is in Mumbai - about a 1000 km away. I have had the Naim Nait 5si for about 10 days now driving my B&W 704 front speakers, and the sound has been getting better...

Hello, I have lived life with a Yamaha RXV-2700 receiver driving the B&W speaker set of 704s for fronts, HTM7 Center, and DS7 surrounds for about 8 years now. I just acquired a Naim Nait 5si and used the pre-outs from the Yamaha to get a dedicated path for music. My subwoofer ASW750 just...

Will try all these things tomorrow and see what happens. Thank you. So, If I understood what you both of you are saying, 1. See what you can do about setup and room acoustics first. 2. worry about power amps only if I am looking to setup a separate audio only zone, or a completely parallel...

My living room is very large and uneven. The listening area has a ceiling height of almost 10 metres and is open on the back and the right side. I feel I am not getting clarity and separation from music. I am less bothered about movies, can happily watch with lower quality audio. My core...

Hello, I have a Yamaha RXV2700 receiver (Claimed 7.1 channels delivering 140 Watts into each full channel at .04% THD (Total Harmonic Distortion). B&W 704s as front, B&W HTM7 center, B & W DS1 rears, and B&W AWS 700 subwoofer. The 704s are 8 ohm speakers. My primary goal is to improve...

Yamaha RX-V 2700 and B&W 704s, Rear DS1s, B&W Subwoofer, and B&W center HTM7

Would you recommend a better amp? Am thinking of adding a power amp and using the Yamaha as a pre-amp.

I spent a lot of money for the B&W speakers. Do you think they are not good enough for home theater and audio?

Just found out that the Yamaha RXV-2700 had 192kHz/24-bit Burr-Brown DACs for all channels. Should I still look at an external DAC?

I have a 2010 Mac Mini running iTunes for a large library connected to a Yamaha RXv-2700 receiver - HDMI and digital audio out from the Mac Mini. I also use a Denon DVD-2930 for CDs and DVDs. I have B & W 704s, with a centre speaker HTM7, subwoofer and B&W DS1 home theater setup. I am...
