    New to home audio... here is what ive got... need input

    optilink 3 fiber optic
    vdm-3 digital coaxil
    king cobra composit pair
    ------------------------------
    now from my rotel ive chosen to use the composits over digital

    im a little disapointed w/ how expensive external amplification costs in home audio so active x/o are out of the question hence i went the "budget" rout w/ the denon

    while it gets loud enough the highs dont sound good at high volumes due to the passive x/o s

    so im not sure if a mtm will be enough for me, maybe a mmtmm (if thats the proper terminology) will gain me more sensitivity in the mids... thoughts?

    also i had initialy planed on just utilizing the dayton ref series tweet and 7"s

    i love the sound of dynaudio speakers and was told these sound the same for less but need more elaborate passives

    from what ive read the seas nextel seem to be ideal though... what about a tweeter though.... i prefer a low Fs one so i can stick w/ a two way setup unless i am mistaken in going that route

    opinions on this?

    lastly i will probably incorperate a pair of 10" into each cabinet amplified off a crown amp

    now ive also noticed that rack amps arn't very popular and generaly people spend much more for less power why is this? outside of the fan noise is there any disadvantage to the crowns?

    thats all xx)

    1098 Switching/Audio drop-out
    by UnstableHTFReak
    ?: Hi all,
    I recently purchased a 1098 Pre/Pro and I'm having issues with the auto- sensing connected to a Sony S550 DVD player. Every time I change chapters or the disk changes layers it switches between anolog and optical/coaix. I've tried both optical and coaxil connections with the same results....

    I see that there isn't much activity here so I thought I'd throw this out there and see if may be some different readers have some opinions to offer. I posted a similar thread on the general HT forum prior to doing as much research. I've read in previous posts about the issues with the popping and clicking....
