I wouldn't buy any pre / pro without HDMI switching and audio stripping / processing Randy. You may not think you need it, or even want it right now, but you will pretty soon. Multichannel HD PCM audio at 96 hz is quite a treat.

For an amp, if you're not in hurry, you may just want to wait for the Axiom line to hit the streets. Ian's got some real treats coming. The technology going into them is above anything else available right now.

From the research I've done, the Axiom amps will be far out of my price range. My HTPC is the only component I have in which I send the digital video via HDMI/DVI from my Nvidia card to my projector, sound is not important from a projector standpoint, even if I upgrade to a different projector some day.

Just three amps my friend. I asked them about it through email and they said you could jump into any configuration that you wanted. One, two, three, four, five, etc...

Quote:

You can purchase the chassis separately ($305.00) and each EPM-300 module is ($199.00). So you can set it up in any configuration you would like. We also have a EPM2150 module which is a two channel version (2x 150) at $249.00




I agree with your statement on "what to do". I'm having a hard time deciding which one to purchase. I want to do it before the free shipping comes to an end, so I can save a few more bucks. Decisions, decisions...

Have you considered the IPS-1?

Very much so. I even started a thread about it on the rocket forum. I like the fact the it has the appearance of the LPA-1, and the Class H amp technology like the MPS-1.

Back in November of this year, it was at the fore-front of my list. I was just waiting for it to be released on Dec. 1st so I could make a purchase. Well, that release date was pushed back until Jan. 15 and I haven't been the same since...

Seriously, I might wait until then to buy the IPS-1. I won't get the free shipping deal, but since they ship from california it shouldn't be too much $$$.

So you can't order one before the 31st huh, and get the free shipping when it becomes available?

I was just thinking by the time you purchase the mps1 cases, and enough amps to power your mains, and maybe the center, your pushing or exceeding the price of the IPS1 with 7 amps.

I haven't even told the wife about my thoughts, so it will get worse before it gets better...

Research...Research...:)

The more I think about it Michael, I like the MPS-1 option. A person could start with 2 or 3 EPM300's to run the LCR, and as time and budget permits, add some more, or even just use some EPM2150's for the Qs8's. EPM300's might be overkill for the surround channels, hmmm.

Either way, the Denon would be used as a pre/pro, and again as budget allows I could possibly look at getting a matching pre from Emotiva, hmmmmm.

In looking at my opening, I have 19" and these units are 18 7/16, so there would not be much space on the sides. Do they need a lot of breathing room on the sides, or just the top?

I guess I could cut some nice 2-3"' holes for venting on the sides if needed, or redue my AV rack to be a little wider. Either way, it is all hidden in my AV closet so you would not see it anyway.

I'll have to see how much green ($) I get for XMas and then make a fast purchase decision to get the free shipping before the 31st. Ok Randy, now wake up....

My comments were specifically audio related. Multichannel PCM can only be passed via HDMI.

One more I can think of is Odyssey Audio .




Being an Odyssey owner, I'll have to second wid's suggestion. Yes, the are a bit pricey, but you are getting one rock solid piece of equipment. Klaus will deal with you personally to find out what system you have and what you are looking for in terms of sound. 20 year warranty and great customer service!

C'mon Randy, just buy one!





Agreed, From another Odyssey Owner Ordered in September, Got mine in October and they have been great. The only bad part is the wait time since they are custom made just for you. The Odyssey forum at Audiocircle HERE Has just about all you ever wanted to know. Give Klaus a call if your intersted
