Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Home Theater External Amp on it's way....

A post from a few days ago indicates he uses multichannel analog.

I am eying either the XPA-3 or XPA-5 also.
Really eagerly waiting for your review....

mpyw,

Have you talked to Emotiva about shipping to Malaysia. I would imagine shipping quotes/cost from Emotiva would be very expensive.

Mica, you might consider buying this NHT. I use one with my M80's (Power 5) and it doesn't whimper at all. It's a heck of a deal...... I'm thinking about buying it just because.....

I run them on large. Actually I just went into the Denon the other day and set all speakers to 'large' just to see what they would sound like. I really couldn't hear much of a difference at all between the two settings (not including the M80's). What if anything is the advantage of running the VP150 and QS8's on small anyway?

Haven't actually tried the streaming feature out yet. My receiver does not have HDMI, so just the picture is going out through the HDMI cord. The audio gets sent to my Denon via 7.1 analog outs. I also have an optical audio cable connceted for DVD's (which don't have the same analog capabilities).

What did you pay for your Samsung? I thought $320 was pretty decent.

Not bad at all. Is that a sale they're having just temporarily? If I experience any troubles at all with this Emotiva, I just might return it for one of those!

The bass(if any)below the selected crossover frequency would be handled by the sub(or "Large" main speakers if no sub)which could reproduce those low frequencies better and allow the "Small" speakers to play the higher frequencies a bit more cleanly.

FWIW - I run all my speakers on small with the sub crossed at 80...for mine, I feel it allows the speakers to open a bit in the mids and highs (with separates). When I used to use receivers, the difference was even more pronounced...most receivers cannot (IMO) push true full range main speakers adequately (set to large)

Well I'm in no way trying to slam the EP800 here at all, but I feel the bass that does come out of the M80's is far tighter than what comes out of the EP800. I would not want to set my M80's to small and miss out on their extraordinary bass capabilities!
