    First impressions of MC-1, and Citation amp

    I just finished setting up my Lex MC-1, with a Citation 7.1 amp.
    I dont have my surround speakers hung yet, so I just set it up for 2 channel. I have to say the difference between this setup, and my previous B&K Ref 30 with a HK PA5800 amp is huge.
    I know the Lex isn't known to be all that spectacular for 2 channel,
    but compared to my previous setup using my DVD player as a CD player there is no comparison. The new combo beats it hands down. Since both preamp, and amps were replaced it's hard to know where the huge improvment came from. Is it more the amp, more the preamp, or maybe both equally? I guess it's irrelevant at this point. I cant wait to get the rest of the system hooked up. If the improvement with HT is as good as what I just heard I am going to be VERY happy
    I will be sure to give my impressions of HT performance as soon as I get the rest all hooked up.

      by Ricky
      Last week, I sold my MC1 and one of my Citation 5.1 amps. My 2nd 5.1 amp is going to a friend later this month. I am replacing this wonderful combo with: DC1 version 4.0, Rogue Magnum 66 tube preamp with HT unity gain bypass, Parasound 2200II 250x2 amp, and Parasound 1205A 140x5 amp. For just a couple...

      by John Holmes
      I've had this unit for two days now. My primary reason for getting it...to record my albums.

      The CDR20 resides with my theater rig (see profile for associated equipment). I have been using the dvd player via digital coax to playback cd's and have been satisfied with it. So imagine my...

      CC3 or MC1 for Center Channel?
      by mdrake
      I am going to purchase my center channel in the next couple of weeks. I was going to order the CC3 but I am wondering if I should order the MC1's and use them as a center as the image below shows? The logic behind the MC1 centers is so that the center and mains match perfectly. But then again the CC3...
