Could these two go together effectively?

Quote: Originally Posted by les_garten I would term it clear and crisp, but not bright. Also, a might bit recessed in the mids if you are looking at the D5000 vs the LA7000. The pad mod on the LA7000 widens them out and makes them not quite as "in your face" as the D5000s. The LA7000 is...

Quote: Originally Posted by les_garten I'm always mystified when people call any of these bright. Maybe they are coming from HD 650s. I don't think the D2000/D5000 are bright at all. In fact, I think the D2000 is dark and the D5000 is at about neutral. So I take it you don't...

so I've done some reading on these phones and I was wondering about a couple things. How much more treble do these phones have compared to the D5000? I am a little sensitive to treble but I don't have any problems with the D5000's treble. Is the D7000 considered a bright phone? I'm thinking...

Its obvious that I have very little knowledge when it comes to audio. Can someone explain to me what it means when a headphone is described as warm, cold, bright, or dark?

Quote: Originally Posted by NumLock I am guessing people say the Mixamp is bad at movies is due to the lack of DTS support. Maybe buy both, lol. One thing to consider due to Xbox Live is how well the Mixamp is set up for it. You can plug any mic into the mixamp and the mixamp plugs...

Quote: Originally Posted by artforme I hear the 663 has better amping for external speakers than the 665, but I found a good deal on the 665, and use it as a pre-amp, as my external speakers don't need external amplification. do you use the 665 for both movies and games? if so...

thanks for the suggestion, art. I see amazon is selling it for $449. I'm considering it but I'm hoping to find one thats a little cheaper. are you using an amp with it or does it drive your headphones just fine without one?

I'm looking for a good dolby headphone receiver that I can plug into my PS3 and Xbox for movies and gaming. I'm hoping to keep the cost under $300-400. Any suggestions?

My headphones are DT880 and D2000. I'm trying to decide which set up I would be better off with in terms of quality for my headphones for my PS3 (movies and games). I don't currently own an a/v receiver or the jvc-su-dh1. Which one do you guys think would make for better sound quality? If an...
