    Emotiva vs. Adcom Preamp Tuner

    Looking for some advice from the experts here. I ordered a new pair of very nice powered monitors. Among other things they eliminate the need for an amp, so the preamp will be basically the entire guts of the system. I have an Adcom GTP-500 which I love but it recently lost a channel, so I got...

    My transitional setup

    Welp wife got the audio system in the divorce. Was a funny conversation actually: me: "So I guess I'll take the audio system, you don't need it." her: "I was hoping to keep it. I'm too spoiled now for regular audio." me: "lmfao, uh, yeah, ok. I don't have any place for it right now anyway and I...

    Solid state amps all sound the same?

    I never believed all SS amps sounded the same, after all I compared the amp section in my receiver vs that of a separ!ate amp and the difference was night and day. Over the years I've acquired a few "mid-fi" amps and those all sounded the same with both my PSB IMage t6s and my Paradigm studio 20...

    Music in Stereo using a 5-channel amp VERY underwhelming - Seeking advice!

    I'll try to keep this brief and to the point: I have a 5.1 system in the basement for movies. I'm using an Onkyo TX-SR805 as a preamp (fried the amplifier many years ago while watching Transformers...) and an Emotiva UPA-5 as a 5-channel amplifier. My mains are Def Tech 7002s, which are very...

    Denon & Wharfedale Jade system

    Emotiva A-100 versus A-150

    Have been thinking about trying a new slightly higher end amp - looking for AK opinions/thoughts re these two lower-price Emotiva products. I have never owned any Emotiva gear.

    Martin Logan reQuests, Emotiva PT-100, Nakamichi PA-7AII

    Made a new thread since the system changed so much. My "source" is a PC/PS4 Pro/LG OLED run though an Emotiva PT-100 acting as DAC and preamp / volume control -- USB for the PC, TOSLINK for everything else -- to a first gen Adcom GFA-555 (true Nelson Pass design! ;)). The reQuests are wired to...

    What power amplifier to pair with Wharfedale Jade 7

    Dear AKers, I have a pretty good system (IMHO), with a pretty bad power amp. I have always been told that metal domes need careful system matching, and therefore I am here to seek opinions. I will leave my surround setup be, at the moment, and just speak of my stereo system: CD/BD/SACD...

    Infinity Reference 60 or Canton Ergo SC-L

    Hi everyone, I was planning on replacing my current Infinity Reference 60s (EMIT-R tweeters) with new Elac Uni-Fi Slims, but let's just say that my budget shrunk, and I had to buy a separate power amp (Emotiva BasX 300). I am, however, within range of a pair of (mint condition!) Canton Ergo...

    More (Emotiva) power for the rear channels?

    Good Morning all, Just toying with an idea and I figured I would throw this at the wall and see if it sticks. Currently driving Ohm model H on the front channel (8/6 ohm @ 20-100W) and Stacked Ohm C2's in parallel on the rear channels (Each 8/6 @ 20-120W) I believe. All are upgraded from Ohm...
