    Optoma HD50 vs HD30 vs Other

    Well I bought the HD50, but can only compare it to the HD65, my previous unit. Here is what I posted on another forum.. Provisos: If this turns out to have flaws and not issues that are normal for this unit you can disregard. Also, I am not a pro reviewer, so will do my best to sum it up and...

    Advice on what amp would suit me..

    Thanks Tibor, I am staying away from Maranzt, the guitar music i love never comes over with enough mids energy for me with them. Interested in the NAD and Rega though! I will look into those.

    Views on Cambridge 351r AV, and compares to Marantz NR1504

    Guys, I just got an open box Cambridge 351r for my modest HT with mission M3 speakers. I did a lot of research and many raved about the good sound on this unit. I am finding it very dark, and with the meaty, rich sound it has - too warm and muffled with speech especially. I am sure the Mission...

    Ok, I bought the Pioneer BDP450 because i needed universal playback and it has a digital coaxial audio output for my old SR4400 which does not have HDMI. I did NOT want to spend out for another AV amp just to cater for audio from a BD player. Everything was peachy the first week, all set up...

    Please help me put together a budget system for my needs..

    Thanks guys, Iam by no means welded to the Concept 20 idea, they were just a thought :) By balanced, to clarify, i mean even Eq, not overly pushing bass weight or treble, even and natural.

    Hi there guys, I am looking to better what i have now, Cambridge Audio A1 amp, into mission M31 speakers. I bought the Missions after auditioning as they had the most natural and non-high end in your face sound compared to others at the time, but they have a low end that is uncontrolled and not...
