Search Results for ‘pre or pro’

Looking for recommendations to narrow my search. Budget is about $1500, but I could do half or twice that if it makes sense. I already have 15 ch of <.03% THD amplification @150w lrc, 65w other. Goals: 1. Musical but this kit is mostly for HT. 2. Mate with latest LG OLED TV. 3. Reliable for 8-10...

Issues to look for with Dolby Atmos playback thru PC 8 channel sound-card then back thru Dolby Atmos Pre/Pro using Digital Coaxial RCA's. Is the Sound room mixing lost or is frequency steering of the Dolby recording algorithms recaptured in the final Pre/Pro processing?

Emotiva, maker of high quality audio gear, is capping a monster year of intriguing new product reveals by launching its BasX MC-700 AV processor. You may recall the MC-700 was originally introduced last April. According to Emotiva, “increasing demand” has motivated the company to begin...

Thanks to the help I previously got... I have added 2x SVS PB-2000. No looking at my Yamaha RX-V1700... it too needs a face lift. I have been using it with my Emotiva XPA-5. Time to get a true pre/pro. I do more HT then music.. 65/35. 7.2+ 4k would be nice Any thing else you need to know...

First post, looking for some advice on an avr or pre/pro. Thanks for your time. In my bonus room above the garage (18x24), I have installed the following: Episode inwall 900s L/R: http://www.snapav.com/p-430-es-ht950-iw-7.aspx Surround: http://www.snapav.com/p-945-es-ht950-iwsurr-6.aspx...

In the last few months I sold my Marantz Av7005 pre/pro and got an Emotiva UMC-200. While I like the size of the unit and a couple features the Emotiva offers, such as exceptional sound, it has issues. Notably, with at least my Tivo as input, I get the dreaded "digital noise" spike going through...

I realize I may be stretching it a bit, but I'd like my AVR upgrade to represent a significant step up in flexibility, power and SQ so I'm thinking separates as opposed to just an AVR. I find that I'm listening to more music lately and, even though I do not have a really good environment for a...

Following several years of detailed development, Rotel Electronics has unveiled a new sharp looking preamplifier and surround processor. The 7.1 channel pre/pro is loaded with high-end touches, but carries a relatively modest high-end MSRP of $3,499. Today we’re previewing the RSP-1582 and...

With a max budget of $2000, what would be the best replacement/upgrade for my Anthem MRX-300. ( The anthem sounds fine as is, hooked up to my 5 channel Wyred 4 Sound MMC amplifier.) I use the system for mostly blu's. Would it be worthwhile to do the upgrade, or just hold on to the Anthem...

I'm assembling iteration one of a home theater and am looking for a low dollar pre-pro. I've looked at the emotiva UMC-200, but the lack of analog video inputs makes it less interesting to me. Good pre-pros that meet my needs start around $1000 and I'd rather spend the money on a projector...

Looks like I may need to replace my new AVR-X4000 due to HDMI issues. The sound is fantastic but I've noticed that upper-end Onkyo receivers have 4.6v preamp outputs vs. Denon's X4000 and 4520CI's 2v outputs. I use the receiver as a pre/pro with my Rotel amps so the preamp section is very...

Hi everyone, It's my pleasure being here. Just wanted some advice. I have been using a 12 years old system so far and I think it's time to upgrade. My current system is Energy Audissey speakers (APS5-2 for the front channels, AC300 for center, A2-2 for surrounds, XLS12 and ESW8 subwoofer)...

I am looking for a new av preamp and am wondering if anyone here can help me! Here is my current setup which has served me well over the years. I mostly listen to movies/watch TV, but Ido some stereo listening once in a while: Outlaw 990 5x Outlaw monoblocks (using balanced inputs at the moment...

Hi all, In the past, I have heard about some quirks in the bass management of the now-discontinued Emotiva UMC-1, including Sonnie's review of it. I recently bought a UMC-200 for a two-channel setup with subs. Because the UMC-200 is the successor to the UMC-1, I wanted to check out the bass...

Hey all - Looking to getting my first pre/pro setup (7-channel). My question to you all is which is the better quality / reliable combo to go with between: Outlaw 975 + 7075 (7x75W) and Emotiva UMC-200 + UPA-700 (7x80W) I prefer not to mis-match :) Thanks all,

Greetings, Ok, I’ve narrowed it down to either the Marantz AV7005 or the Onkyo NR3008 as a pre/pro. I have a 5 ch. power amp that I’m very happy with so I could go either way as far as getting a true pre/pro or using an AVR as a pre/pro. I have a dedicated Home Theater that is setup with a 5.1...

I'm here looking for recommendations once again. When I finished my theater last year, I upgraded to HDTV and bought a Blu-Ray player (PS3). For a pre-pro, I pre-ordered the Emotiva UMC-1 since I qualified to get one for $350 as an original owner of an LMC-1 (seemed like a no-brainer at that...

The unit is in exellent condition (no scratches, blemishes, etc.). Comes with the manual, remote and accessories. I will ship in the original double box. Asking for $300 OBO + shipping. Thanks.

Hi all... Been having fun with a borrowed DSP1124/USB card/mic setup. Insert standard comments about REW/BFD being the coolest thing since sliced bread... I am going to get my own one of these! I don't currently have a HT amp, just a stereo amp setup, minus even a preamp. Was wondering how...
