    Would NAD C356BEE sound drastically better than Onkyo entry-level AVR with B&W 685 S2?

    That was the case with Onkyo. I set it to 2.0 with front speakers set to large, and pure audio on, also tried Audyssey calibration and what not. Specs states that it's 150W RMS. It's unbeliavable how much more detailed and impactful 50W NAD sounds. I can truly say the improvement by upgrading...

    Would NAD C356BEE sound drastically better than Onkyo entry-level AVR with B&W 685 S2?

    Yes the bass has huge improvement. It's more deep, tight and physical. I guess 12'o clock is still safe, right? It's more than loud enough for my small room

    Would NAD C356BEE sound drastically better than Onkyo entry-level AVR with B&W 685 S2?

    Just got the NAD C326BEE, and wow. Just wow. The difference with Onkyo AVR is like night and day. Even with low volume, the sound is notably more detailed, spacy. More present and immersive. But when I crank the volume up, it's completely different league. Clarity and spaciness doesn't reduce a...

    Would NAD C356BEE sound drastically better than Onkyo entry-level AVR with B&W 685 S2?

    For getting a subwoofer, I have SVS SB-2000 but I prefer keep it off, as it just sounds muddy in my small room. Setting it's gain higher than what B&W already produces in bass department doesn't actually add physical impact but boomy and unpleasant sound. It's only good for below 35 Hz, but...

    Would NAD C356BEE sound drastically better than Onkyo entry-level AVR with B&W 685 S2?

    Those speakers sounds fantastic even with the Onkyo AVR, but someone told me it's just idiotism to drive them with cheap entry level AV-receiver. I'm considering NAD C356BEE as I researched it should suit well with B&W's and has substantial yet tight bass. What I don't get with my current setup...

    SVS PC12-NSD

    Does anybody have experience with SVS cylinder subwoofer? How does it perform in music, compared to SVS SB1000? The main difference between the two is frequency response (18-130Hz ± 3dB vs 24-260Hz ± 3dB), box size/design (ported vs closed) and amplifier (300W vs 400W). I have heard that closed...

    Punchy 2.1 or 2.0 setup for 12 square room max 500$

    I like the clean bass that Eris delivers. I can certainly hear every bass note down to 35Hz even at low volume, that's not the problem. But I want sense the bass with my body, not only with my ears. IMO that's the purpose of bass. How about SVS PC12-NSD?

    Punchy 2.1 or 2.0 setup for 12 square room max 500$

    I'm happy that I purchased Eris 8's. They sound nice on the bare desktop. Does the sound get even better with proper stands?
