I'm laughing out loud and I don't even know why.....

Hey, you know, it just occured to me that somewhere inside the 950 is a tiny little trace that's carrying that bass to the LFE summing circuit..... 10 seconds with an x-acto knife.....


Hmmmm

What do you guys think about the Ref 30? The Magnolia HiFi stores around here are closing them out for like $2000.00. (the sales guy said they were coming out with some new stuff some time, but probably with a higher price piont). I like some of the features like a bass eq that analyzes room responses and you can adjust it to filter it out. An adjustable crossover with slope. You can also adjust the levels of the sub and other channels on the fly from the remote. It isn't DTS ES or PRO II but isn't B&K pretty good about upgrades?
Also is it ok to only have a 6 ch. input or do you need 7?
I just don't wanna pass up a deal like this but then what about when Sept. comes around? What if all the other new products are good but cost way too much? What if they are a good price point, but offer the quality and then I passed up a good deal on a B&K?
Excuse me I'm gonna go throw up.

Gee. Was that sarcasm? What a concept.

You should be able to find Ref 30's for closer to $1700. In fact, there is a guy on Audiogon advertising the (presumably) soon-to-be-released Ref 50 for only $2300.

As far as I know, the Ref 30 does not have DD EX, DTS-ES, DPL II, etc.

I'm also looking at B&K (either a 30 or 50) or the Sunfire TG3. Anyone know much regarding these.

I've heard that B&K is great about tradeups, but Sunfire not so much. Care to weigh in?

It says on the front of the unit that it is DD-EX but not ES. It seems like manufacturers don't trust the guys at DTS as readily as they do over at Dolby. They were slow to adopt it in the first place. Lack of software maybe? Then when people start saying it sounds better then it's, oh yeah here's a newer model you have to buy.
Anyway, I think I would rather pay $200.00 more to get the B&K brand new in box where I can go to return it if I don't like it or if it cheeses out than go to Audiogon.
Sarcasm? Not intentional. If Outlaw was charging $2000.00 for a pre-pro then I'd expect it to have those kind of features as well.

Max7,
Sorry about my incorrect perception.
