Looking for clean crisp sound,Is this equaliser appropriate for non-professional home use?Is it too powerful for home use?

yes it is good for non-professional home use. Allows you more control for left and right eq-ing

After I installed the EQ, I did a sweep and found a wicked peak @ 80 Hz. The EQ flattened it out like a steam iron. I would advise sweeping first, then you have a better idea what you need (if anything) to correct your acoustics. I could have used much simpler equipment for EQ. Had to make a cover to hide the gaudy front panel.

What I'd seriously do is find one in the flesh and look carefully at the back. Now I bought one of them and wasn't too keen about it so I got one from another party for my shop with an equalizer For the house I looked and got a pioneer vex 51 series because its one of he last ones with stereo jacks and maybe at the older pioneer Yamaha Sony receivers and get a Pyle pro eq like I did outstanding sound Hope this helps so let me know.

I found it doesn't have a lot of distortion. Is it pro-level? Not even close, but for a budget and for most people that might listen to recordings done with it, it will be fine. I've recorded performances with it, and as a shotgun mic, it filters out external noise nicely.

I don't know anything about an equalizer? I've had it a couple of years and it works great, the only issue I've had is that sometimes the sound doesn't transfer thru and I have to re-select the device, I have 2 computers, and a dvd player going to my tv thru it, it was a good deal

I don't use devices which allow my making that comparison, however just listening, I'm satisfied. The frequency response seems flat with no noticeable distortion. I don't feel I'm compromising sound for convenience.

This receiver is fine for someone who is not an equipment expert. I'm not, and I found it simple to set up with a careful reading of the instructions. It would be "overkill" only if you are looking for a compact, low-power system for a small room. It is a powerful receiver. Perhaps the question you want to ask is "What will I use the stereo system for," and then think about what other components, like speakers and CD player are needed. The site soundadviceblog.com is where I got the idea for this receiver. He can give good advice, although it appears he is not updating the site too much these days. Doing a few hours' research is worthwhile. This receiver is fine for someone who is not an equipment expert. I'm not, and I found it simple to set up with a careful reading of the instructions.

It should be perfect for that. Lightweight and powerful enough to get great sound. You have enough balance and unbalanced inputs to handle your equipment.

Hi John, I am using this as a bedroom system and am powering a pair of Paradigm MK5 SE speakers (small towers) with it. I am running it through a DAC and just using a extra iPod as the source. It fills the large bedroom with beautiful sound and stout bass. You will want to make sure that your speakers have a relatively high sensitivity number - probably 87 or higher for best results. It really helps to smooth out the sound from a digital input. My father-in-law was so impressed with the sound, he just got one to power his Martin Logan bookshelf's. I have not tried to use it as a preamp, so can not comment on that. Overall, it's a great little piece for the price.

I'm afraid I'm not the person to ask. I'm not an audiophile and the only reason we purchased this is for use with our TV. Both my husband I use headphones, but we each need different amplification. This allows us to connect the two headphones and each of us can adjust the volume level to our own comfort. All I can tell you is that we are both satisfied with the quality of the sound. And, believe me, it WILL go MUCH louder than either of us is comfortable with.

Absolutely....Trust me you will be shocked with the sound quality!!! Let me know

If you are just using them for high-mid range and you're not looking to get that much bass out of it, I would suggest to go with the Pioneers very rich in sound and definitely does the job especially if you have an Equalizer. Check out the Clarion EQS746 Improves any type of music 110% hands down/ very useful if you have an amp or more than one in my case. I'm running 3 amps off this bad boy and very satisfied with the results!

I mostly use my Sony Walkman NWZ-S545, which has a 5-band equalizer. I equalize it for powerful bass and low mids. My favorite song to test sound quality is Neon Knights by Black Sabbath, as it has extremely powerful bass and percussion. I recently bought the HD 202 II, and I personally think they are the best headphones in market for that price, the sound quality and power is marvelous. I have not tested the 203, however within the 2xx series, I think it is all pretty much the same when it comes to power outcome (I think).

Yes, I believe it would work fine.It does clean audio very well and leaves you a good Hi-Fi project.

well I am currently using it on car audio but you can use it at home too. Either way you use it you need a filter for the bass

Absolutely. I use this as my quiet practice rig through headphones and it's fantastic. I also use it plugged into a line level input on my mixer through speakers and it works great. I've been very impressed with the sounds I'm getting and the (relatively) well-done interface.

@ +12db you will hear some noise, but for live work it's acceptable> I would not use it for studio post production mix downs. Hope this was helpful.

If you have an equalizer program for sound tweaking installed on your system, then you'll love them. Normal settings are not useful for these speakers, but with tweaking, they rock! You'll find the bass quite adequate.
