passive vs active biamping and other

Forums

Here is my problem, I just bought Paradigm 40's and after some long term listening I havs concluded that the are a little lacking in the high/mid range. What I am looking for is a slighly softer highs and fuller more detailed mids.

I read a post by K. Rubinson where he mentioned both but I couldn't find any info on the logistics the difference and I thought this might be a possible answer.

Fraudulent use of Stereophile's name

It's been brought to our attention that a person named "David Carpenter" is assuming the title of "Review Officer 1" for "Stereophile's Australian offices," and requesting review samples from hi-end audio manufacturers.

THIS IS A HOAX.

Stereophile does not have an Australian office and is not associated with David Carpenter.

HDMI vs Component Cables

Forums

I've purchased several new system components for my home theater in the past few days. I've purchased the new Denon 2807 A/V receiver and a new HDTV LCD TV - Sony Bravia. These will be hooked up to a Comcast Digital cable box supporting HD as well as my REL subwoofer and Vienna Acousitcs speakers. My question is about the use of HDMI cables vs component. The store manager is telling me that I don't need to use HDMI cables to connect the Denon, TV, and Cable box that instead it's better to use component. This seems to fly in the face of all of the hype about HDMI though.

Alex Ross on Bostridge and Britten

Alex Ross on Bostridge and Britten

Great writing in <I>The New Yorker</I> on a great musician singing some real "adult" music. I offer Britten as the refutation to those who say that there can be no great vocal music in English&mdash;I can't think of any of his operas or art songs that aren't immensely musical and moving. And did I mention dramatic?
