    Denon 4311CI - Overkill or Future Proof?

    15x20 but the problem is the couch blocks passageways so it has to be close. But it's in the magical 1080p maximum benefit zone, if you believe in that sort of thing. BTW, I forgot to enter the savings code at checkout and they gave the discount anyway. Nice folks.

    B&W 683's

    Can't link to the direct post (there's a lot of silly arguing in the middle) but towards the end are first impressions and pics of the Emotiva set-up. viewtopic.php?f=6&t=1173424 I have basically the equivalent of the 684s.

    Denon 4311CI - Overkill or Future Proof?

    Approved by Tori the dog! Need to hide the cables better. Heavy retro style remote. IMG_0053 by kanshou, on Flickr

    Denon 4311CI - Overkill or Future Proof?

    I would say the Emotiva set up is reasonably future proof as in at least the amp, as long as it works, will always be useful. It's a big black box you connect speakers to. No volume control and no moving pars. Now the mafiaa will probably figure out a way to screw that up too since the pre...

    Denon 4311CI - Overkill or Future Proof?

    Exactly. I did that for about 5 years and it's not a big deal with a harmony one remote. I refused to upgrade just for hdmi. My 2007 era LCD only has 3 inputs but it was always enough.

    What the hell is wrong with people? Boy arrested for burping in class

    Too bad there isn't a way to light the metaphorical sticks people have planted in their asses these days. Its lead to English being a dying language in CA. A division of community. I'm learning German. Fuck you when I'm on the phone. You can't understand me either. No one wants to be an American...

    Denon 4311CI - Overkill or Future Proof?

    Got the Emotiva set up today. It's been hot in CA lately and after an exhausting day at work I've only so far heard the system at factory settings and it sounds quite good. Heard new things in CDs. Played Aqualung and White Chalk a lot recently on the old set up and the new one seems to do them...

    FBI comes looking for child porn, so man stabs his computer

    Except it's not that easy. It's like saying don't be straight or don't be gay. I have a massive crush on Anna Torv and you could try to talk me out of it with counseling and therapy and at the end of the day it won't have an effect. But maybe that's a bad example, most people aren't hugely...

    Not-Horrible iPad Cases: a round-up of the best

    Denon 4311CI - Overkill or Future Proof?

    It was the system B&W recommended for surround. Now it mostly comes down to music which means this set up is not quite ideal. Although the DVD-A of Rumours sounded amazing even on the Yamaha. When first using the B&Ws there seemed to be so much separation but my previous reference system had...

    Has the Mac crested? The OpenForum's haikus tackle the issue

    Aside from games, which Apple has never cared about (yeah yeah Pippin), all this wanking about power is useless. Having 18,000 programs (refuse to say apps) open at once including Logic, adobe cs, and very minimal stuttering on a last year's Mac Mini isn't good enough? I remember from more or...

    Denon 4311CI - Overkill or Future Proof?

    Also going separates makes room for upgrades later. Looking at a pair of B&W CM9s in a few years and going all stereo. Easy to bi-amp with a 5 channel. The B&W 600 S2 speakers were purchased in 2000 when the 600 series was the middle of the road. The 603s, 601s and lcr6 all are rated 150 watts...

    Denon 4311CI - Overkill or Future Proof?

    I always thought of pre-pro/amps as being for "those guys" and way too expensive. Total came to 1448, 650 less than the Denon but a lot of the cost of the Denon is probably licensing agreements. Thanks for the sea change.

    Denon 4311CI - Overkill or Future Proof?

    The Pre-processor is even on sale. So basically you'd chuck the pre-pro in 6-10 years and keep the amp? The reviews are good and the price is right. No networking feature but bah...

    Waiting on the RIAA, feds held seized Dajaz1 domain for months

    Albert Fish used to put cotton soaked in alcohol up his butt and light it on fire. Replace cotton with 100 dollar bills. "YOU LIKE THE MONEY NOW!!!!!???"

    Apple tests Samsung 32nm process on A5-equipped iPad 2 and Apple TV

    Denon 4311CI - Overkill or Future Proof?

    Yamaha RXV-2200 died recently after 10 years. Not worth fixing so the 4311 is at the top of the list for a replacement. Just wondering if it's overkill for B&W 603 S2 mains LCR6 center 601 S2 surrounds B&W subwoofer Considering in the distant future upgrading the mains to CM9s. Mostly used for...

    Nintendo's odd attempt to bridge the digital/retail sales divide

    Look up Louis CK on Opie and Anthony. He said basically the same thing (but funnier). walmart sells a mop for 20 cents cheaper so fuck the local hardware store who's been there for generations and done cool things like sponsoring a softball team.

    Mountain Lion to have "do not disturb" feature for notifications

    Hopefully it's granular. I always want Mr. Plinkett's notifications to get through.
