Well this was one of my thoughts, but if I take a digital optical cable from my CD player and run it into the Oppo, what do I run out of the Oppo? If I send a digital signal to my receiver, it will then run through the Denon DAC. I would have to take an analog output from the Oppo to my AVR to...

I'm considering a Dac or Oppo BDP 95 as the next step in upgrades. I'm running with Vistas, Depth i and a Denon 2807, bi amped and a Denon DVD 1730. Denon said that the Dac in the 2807 was cutting edge 7 years ago and that the newer Dac's spec out better but don't sound better, because the...

I tried everything suggested above and was able to tweak them a little better. But I was still not satified. As a last resort I moved the sub around the room and ultimately to the back corner of the room into a niche about 5'x 10' in a corner next to the sofa. Boom, that was it. I don't know...

If I set the front mains to small I will lose the subs in the Vista's won't I?

jmschnur ,I believe this is the article you are referring to http://www.avsforum.com/a/audyssey-faq-and-beginners-101-setup-guide#user_f1...it is much more helpful than the info in the Denon manual which is not clearly written. The manual is my chief complaint about Denon and will probably...

I like it! Seems to follow Roberto's mantra 'trust your ears'. I will do a sub crawl tonight and then try several locations.

It's in the front corner now, I will try moving it and seeing how that goes. Thanks.

I just installed a new Depth i and it doesn't seem to add much to the mix. I'm running with two Vistas on a biamped Denon which at 4ohms is theoretically 280 watts/ch. The Vistas sing! Then I added the Depth i and yes, I know it's working, but it doesn't add much. I used the Audessy system in...

Tonight I came home and decided to set up a passive horizontal bi-amp off my old Denon 2807. Wow, what a difference, I was really surprised but now I know how power hungry these babies really are. I sold audio gear many years ago and became very skeptical of overkill on amps, but these guys...

Thanks for the moral support. Last night I was wondering what I was doing in a relationship with someone who I have so little in common with, but you have enlightened me: There is only one sweet spot in the room and it is all mine:D I really haven't any interest what so ever in her massive...

So my first pair of Martin Logan's arrived today. I spent the better part of 2 hours building the cables, setting up the speakers and praying that my old Denon 140watts/ch would power these. I've been window shopping amps, just in case. But the Denon seems to be purring and the speakers are...

Thanks to all for the advice. I still can't understand why the rep at Martin Logan was pushing me toward the ESL's, but I sense that the folks on this board know what they're talking about and just ordered a pair of Vista's from AA. I'm old school and when it comes to speakers I believe that...

I just listened to the ESL's at BB and they blew me away. I called Audio Advisor and asked about them and they told me about the closeout deal on Vista's for $2k a pair. They said the Vista's were far superior with a bigger sound stage because of the larger surface area and better bass because...
