Looking for a new receiver...

[quote=“whyme,post:38,topic:36265"”]

why, because of the bose? i have had them for years (got them for xmas and they sound decent. i do understand and agree with the fact that bose do not preserve the sound but rather change it and if i had the money i would have found better speakers.

the reciever however was what i was trying to comment on, it had great features, low distortion, and was a good price. compaired to the onkyo’s, sony’s (crap), and denon’s that i checked out the harmon kardon just made sense.

just a quick question for those of you with high end stuff, does anyone buy into that monster crap? i mean shure to a point i can understand where you need a good quality rca and speaker wire but i was given a set of the M series speaker wire that reatils for ~$500 for a short pair (i think they are 6ft but i havent even took them out in a year). they do sound better than run of the mill radiocrap wire but i can hear the differance between that and a good quality spool of high grade copper 16 guage.

they are good for PA, wouldn’t use them that much if you want definition of music

Audioquest cables are good, thats all i use, and monster is like sony and bose, all marketing, no good products.

I run 14 guage speaker wire from Soundworks in Brighton

thats where i bought all my HT stuff originally, very nice place there.

I think you have never actually listened to a GOOD amp/pre/processor, they are a good entry level. Not misinformed, actually had one for a couple weeks before a flipped it, the 200.2 was not to my liking.

and I have heard of JPS Labs, just wasn’t that impressed with there overall building quality

the terminations on the RCA jacks where weakly and shoddily covered in solder, it wasn’t the greats quality of work.

And how long ago / what product line was this?

Im assuming 3+ years ago and ultraconductor? If so, try it again :wink:

Lifetime warranty btw…

it was about 2 years ago, and I know it was a lifetime warranty, just do not want to deal with it, most of my cables are slowly but surely getting swapped over to MIT research
