    High-End AVRs for Stereo?

    I’m using a Yamaha rx-v1 in my stereo room with a pair of goldenear triton 1 speakers . Exactly what your posting about. To help refine the sound I’m using a meridian director dac to the receiver and a musical fidelity tube buffer hooked up to the the pre out / power in jacks. It sounds very good.

    Snell speakers

    Got the surrounds on and let dry for a couple hours- played some soft music through them and the highs are very nice - have the rear tweeters turned up half way and the speakers 4 feet from the wall - good vocals and bass is placed in the soundstage really well. The highs have a lot of air with...

    Snell speakers

    They have the rear firing tweeter - I did make sure all the drivers work - the surrounds should be here today, a couple days earlier than I expected. I’ll have time today to install them since I tweaked my knee playing basketball this week (sucks getting old) I’ll run them off a Yamaha rx-v1 or...

    Snell speakers

    Picked up a set of Snell speakers off CL - seller received as part of “services rendered” from estate. He called the center a “tweeter” and sold it all super cheap ( for what the center is selling for on eBay). The towers are Snell E IV , the center a HCC 500 and a ps10 subwoofer. Also included...

    Yamaha RX-A3060

    I have a rxa3040 and I've driven my usher and triton 1 speakers off it with no problem - you can also bi-amp with it by using one of the surround channels - a dedicated amp is better Sounding, but the Yamaha does the job.

    Parasound A21/P5 vs. Halo Integrated?

    I had a p5 and now have a halo integrated - I find the integrateds dac to be a little more detailed. It is a good mate with GE Triton one speakers - very good at low volume levels and plays cleanly at louder levels ( I don't crank volume really loud though) the integrated has plenty of power for...

    Goldenear Audio, any owners?

    Bought Triton ones Monday from a guy that was going to buy the references when they came out ( he had triton fives as surrounds he was going to move to main) the ones are every thing in a speaker I could hope for - great bass, huge soundstage, great imaging and balanced sound from top to bottom.

    Sony TA-N77ES repair advice?

    I saw the tan77 amp on CL, but passed because they have a history of burning up (info from forums a long time ago) they fixed the issue with the ta-n80es (but got rid of the meters) hope you can resurrect it.
