I've been looking at the Dynamo 800X/1100X subs and I really like their built-in ARC support. It looks like I may also get the Anthem MRX-720 receiver, which also has ARC built into it. How would these mesh together if I get them both? Would the Dynamo ARC be simply redundant (or even used) in...

Hey, all. It's been quite a few years since I've been active on this forum. I still fondly remember the discussions and advice, though, and give those a lot of credit in evolving what I still consider a 'killer' home theater system. (Click on the signature link to see its original...

I and others have touted how volume decreases in direct proportion to the square of the distance with point sources (cone speakers), but only directly to the distance with line sources (i.e., ML speakers). In other words, move twice the distance from a point source and the volume decreases to...

Hello all from St. Petersburg, Russia! I know I promised to keep in touch and post some pictures during our Northern European cruise, but the internet on the ship kinda sucks. There's no net access in the rooms, the 'internet cafe' only runs at about 28.8 K baud, and there's a sixty-five cents...

I'm a bit too wired to go to bed yet, so I thought write some about one hellava concert. Eric Clapton's tour was in Sacramento tonight at Arco Arena and we had some primo seats about thirty feet from the stage. Man, was that ever fun. I keep forgetting how good a musician he is, and in...

Tom -- I just used the link in your Lugano's Member Database sticky and played around with the database a bit. Since you have that thread closed, where do want us to post any comments and/or questions?

I know that this has been discussed before over the last month or so, but I can't seem to find the threads. With the local Tower closing its doors, I don't have anywhere locally that I can buy high-quality CDs and/or SACDs anymore. Do any of you here get them online? If so, where would you...

I finally decided to move into the 21st century and give digital music a try. So I picked up a Slim Device's Squeezebox 3, liked what I could easily accomplish, and added it into my overall system upgrade (chronicled in other threads). For those not familiar with it, the SB3 connects to your...

You've perhaps seen the chronicles of my current upgrade. I decided to purchase some well-loved Summits back on February 2 and closed the deal within a week, but they were not able to be packed up and shipped (from Ohio to California) until the 19th. They arrived in Sacramento on the 23rd when I...

I'm diving headfirst into digital music and servers. I've already got a Squeezebox 3 to try and 1TB ReadyNAS NV+ from Infrant up and running. (What a nice box the NV+ is, by the way. The whole thing for under $1k, up and running in minutes, and pretty much self-configured in a couple of hours.)...

:D :rocker: :cheers: :clap: Yes, ladies and gents, boy and girls, now sitting prominently in my living room are ... ta daaa ... my new Summits!! WooHoo! Yippee! (Ok, so technically they're used as I bought them from an audiophile downsizing his system. But they're new to me!) The only thing...

I asked this near the end of another thread, but I think it deserves its own. First, I have to admit I'm an absolute novice at creating, loading, and using a computer based music library. Heck, even after 35+ years in the computer business, I've never even 'ripped' a music CD. It doesn't scare...

Once more unto the breech: Transporter, or a Squeezebox to an external DAC Yes, I know this has been discussed a fair amount in the recent past, and some folks were getting ready to make decisions on one or the other. But I'm about to plunk down my money for one of these combos to feed my...

Although I'm relatively new to this forum, I've 'lusted' after Martin Logan speakers since I first heard them in a high-end stereo shop in the early 1990s, and got my Ascents back in 2002. I've done a lot of reading and research within this forum, but something that I discovered early on about...

As a preface, I've lurked here since 2002 when I bought my Martin Logan speakers, but only recently joined the forum. My system is within our family room, with the primary speakers Ascent mains, Theater center, and Descent front sub. (There's also some in-ceiling, bipolar surrounds, two-way rear...
