Their best bang for the buck is still the PB12NSD2 at considerably less money. I owned the +2 loved it dearly then for whatever reason sold it. Now 3 or 4 subs later I have the NSD2 and in my room you are hard pressed if you can even tell the difference between the two. . . Makes sense to me...

It's been a few weeks now. . .still running her like I did all the rest. . .no video hook up just yet. . . I'm having too much fun just the way it is. . .I said earlier that in my mind there was not a nickle's worth of difference audio wise in any of these receivers. . . Well. . .I was...

The face plate is different too. . .

In reality I don't think there is a lot of differences other than appearances. . . One can be mail ordered one can't. One can be discounted one can't. One can be sold over the internet one can't. One has a longer warrenty. . .don't know but I assume so. . .

My problem is my job. . .They have moved me all over the country. Each move I either leave something, sell something or give something away. Would be nice to stay with something therby letting me get exactly what I want one piece at a time. The way it is now ever so often I replace everything...

As I get older my needs change along with my pocket book. I have had an audio/video sound system since my first TV when I had to mount a headphone jack on the side for audio to go to my preamp. That was in the late 60s. At one point in my life I had as much as 100 grand in my audio system and...

If you are using a cable box/DVR double your audio settings there too. . .I was having a huge difference between digital and analog audio then HD channels were different as well. . .Went in checked it out made a few changes now its more 'normal'. . .

I've got a baby Yamaha (5940) that I just sold. . .I think I paid 229.00 for it and she was killer. . .Much more power than I figured it would be.. .

I use these. . .I guess I've got 300 of them by now. . .I'm always buying a few at a time. . .Now I got plenty. . .I love'em. . .

My last Sony ES stuff was a separate system. . .ProLogic. . .IIRC the PreAmp was a TA-E1000ES and I used the ES 2 channel 120wpc 515ES or something like that. . .You could bridge it for a 360Watt mono amp. I used one for a Sub bridged and 3 for front and rear and center speakers. From there I...

If it was all about SQ I'd go back to seperates and my Rotel/Super One system or my Anthem/Paradigm system or better yet the Parasound /DIY Danes system but now days it is more about versatility, ease of operation and simplicity. Besides there is not a nickle's worth of difference in SQ anyway...

Sold today. . .

Thanks guys. . .Exactly what I was looking for. . . Looks like it will boil down to one thing. . .DPLIIx I do like that SF. . . I do like 7.1 although in reality 5.1 is just fine for the most part. In my case at even money the Sony may be best. . .If the 8300 was a little cheaper and...

The Marantz is priced right but so is the 3200ES Sony I'm looking at. . . I did a hell of a lot of research on that Sony finding one priced right yet had everything I need and intend to use. . . A big consideration is my wife being able to use it too. . .Our TV is Sony and I think it would be...

One Columbus boy to another (I live in Reynoldsburg) we should have a static war when I buy mine this week to see if we can hear each other. . .LOL. . .
