    Marantz Sr6012 Avr

    "Much stronger". A numerical advantage that equates to roughly 1 decibel of extra firepower. :drool:

    Best movie to test

    The Matrix UHD. The new Dolby Atmos soundtrack is (IMO) reference quality.

    Average amplifier power

    Speakers generally lack sensory organs to detect unused (potential) power lurking across from their terminals. Ohm's law (or whatever one calls its AC doppelganger) prevents the amp from outputting more current than is called for by voltage and impedance. Nothing else can happen. It's not an...

    Selector switch for a/b testing preamps (AV processor)

    To volume match you will need a multimeter connected across the speaker terminals and a test tone CD - 100 Hz and/or 1 kHz tones should be fine. Ensure the voltages between both devices are matched to within 1/100 of a volt. Good luck! :thumbs:

    Selector switch for a/b testing preamps (AV processor)

    For quickly comparing the outputs of two line-level devices such as stereo preamps, or the stereo analog outs of a pre-pro you could use a switch box like this one at Amazon. As with any fair comparison the identities of the devices need to be hidden and their volumes carefully matched. With a...

    Lf or Hf

    We live in a world where audiophiles can "hear" epoxy glue, audiophile-grade solder and crossovers fitted on wooden blocks (and who knows what else). If you can't "hear" this then ... your system and ears aren't "revealing" enough.  ;D

    Best 7.1 receiver under R10k

    Not strange, "simply" speaker/room interactions coupled with human perception variability which your post illustrates to good effect. All normal, really. Bingo. Opinions are all over the map, just like the "sound" of "most Jap AVRs", "musicality", etc. :)

    CD Players Revised - Only to share Info. that may be useful to Forum Members

    I was being facetious.  ;) Not a transport, but how about an $18,000 Sim Audio CP-8 processor repackaged as a Denon 2808 AV receiver with the power amp modules removed? [b]Link. None of the usual complaints of AVR preamp "sound" (remember AVRs are apparently "low-fi" trash) surfaced but...

    CD Players Revised - Only to share Info. that may be useful to Forum Members

    You are suggesting that "price" can have a strong psychological impact on audiophile "hearing"? Who knew? :) Too much logic here. What's next? You'll claim a ... Patek does not tell time better than a Casio despite the vast difference in price, build quality, brand status etc?  :ticked...

    Power amp vs integrated stereo amp

    Would you mind explaining how you compared both integrated and AVR + power amp in your system? Spare no details please.

    Speaker power rating and amplification

    Actually, the closer you are to reaching the thermal limits of a speaker the worse it is likely to sound as distortion of a goodly number of different kinds tends to increase. :)  Irrespective, if you push a speaker hard enough for long enough it will fail no matter how clean the power is...

    Classe vs Electrocompaniet

    Let's see, Classe can "sound" : 1) "Warm" 2) "Liquidy" but also ... 3) "Neutral" 4) "Syrupty" ... 5) Very "musical" (?) with toe-tapping PRAT?  :) 6) Canadian-ish.... or Norwegian-ish ... ..etc... ... depending on the speaker load/psychogenic reactions to Classe, etc. Same with...
