Toys In The Attic: or A Very Tight SpaceMjcmt, One more thing. I also have the Oppo 980, which I use for audio/video in my bedroom system. Although I love the Oppo for DVD use, I tried it in my main system in place of the Planet ... posted almost 17 years ago | View comment | |
Toys In The Attic: or A Very Tight SpaceHi Mjcmt,The short answer is I like the combo. I use the Planet's coaxial output also. It's a great transport. I find the Benchmark adds detail and punch to the Planet. I have to admit, I h... posted almost 17 years ago | View comment | |

Toys In The Attic: or A Very Tight SpaceThanks Glen. With the room treatments and the nearfield listening, there is much to enjoy, despite the room. I am lucky to have a dedicated room, so I'm not complaining. posted over 18 years ago | View comment | |

Toys In The Attic: or A Very Tight SpaceGlad it works for you. Interesting that you feel it equals the Owens Corning sheets. In my other initiated thread on taming my attic space I wrote about how I made DIY tube traps in a prior residen... posted over 18 years ago | View comment | |

Toys In The Attic: or A Very Tight SpaceAudiobrooke, I will let you know soon. I should have the VR-4jr's in the system in the next few days. You have a nice little system put together. Cool that you make your own power cables. posted over 18 years ago | View comment | |

Toys In The Attic: or A Very Tight SpaceThanks, Chaoticmass. Yes it still sounds good. The mids and highs are very detailed, maybe a little bright. The lows are present, (especially with the sub on) but a little boomy and not totally int... posted over 18 years ago | View comment |
