I've just upgraded the forum software to Xenforo 2.0. Please let me know if you have any problems with it. I'm still working on installing styles... coming soon.
"The Behringer is one amp which I listened to and measured, and it sounded probably the worst of any I've come across (with the possible exception of a couple no-name Chinese knock-off amps I dissected). However a lot of people seem to like them, so what can I say...."
I would very much like to...
Which leads me back to my original question. I have not done extensive auditioning, nor do i have a trained ear. I am an average buyer who would have no way of knowing the quality of the internal build.
Is Emotiva the equivalent of a no name Chinese knock-off?
Would I be better advised to find...
Yes I read that thread. That's a big part of why I respect SH's input. As a follower of the S&V forum I gather that SH is not only involved with ATI, but is a TRU industry insider all the way back to not only working for Altec Lansing, but having them factory modify his drivers to his own...
I have always heard good reviews about ATI, although I have also heard good reviews regarding Emotiva. Given the price differential and my budget, Emotiva seems the logical choice price wise.
Unfortunately I am an Audio*****, and so the decisions are never simple.
Anything that goes to up the amp $ must come from the speaker budget. What would you define as a good used amp for $500 or less that would be audibly better than the Emotiva for $330.
Thanks for your response. I am not critically trained either in musicianship nor critical listening. I have not had the chance to critically audition truly high end gear.
The reason I am asking this question is that i am upgrading from a pair of Mackie HR-824's to a pair of Legacy Classic HD's...
I read with great interest your post regarding balanced/differential
amps and their distortion spectra.
My question is how audible is this in real world listing conditions.
I am in the process of purchasing my first pair of semi-large towers.
I am spending as much as possible on the speakers...
Anyone ever read Macroscope by Piers Anthony? It's about an alien signal that if you watch it, it drives you insane. I am afraid that if anyone actually manages to read the whole thing they may be insane by the time they finish.
As for pre-amps I am interested in stereo only. I can't find much info on there 2 ch pre-amps. Do you think that it's a safe bet that there analog pre-amps are as good as their amps?
I recently purchased a 42" Panasonic plasma for $600. I am very happy with it, although I can't compare it to any others as this is the first large screen tv I've owned.
I am registered on the S&V boards as Ecto1234. However I lost my login info for that forum some time ago and have not been able to find it. I did not post there much at all.
It's been a long time since I have been able to make a significant speaker upgrade and I wanted to get as much advice and...

It is to good to be true. I received this reply today:
Hello
Yes the unit is available but I am out of USA now because I work at Red Cross and I'm traveling a lot. Now I am in UK with them. This is not a problem because I know a very good shipping company who can help us with this transaction...
