This is what Ian said in an e-mail he sent me.

So a receiver + stereo amp would not work. I am pretty sure that the power AND the gain need to be the same for all channels powering the new speakers

I'd be pretty surprised if one of these has even been built, yet.

Remember, the DSP box is only being launched now, in conjunction with the new speaker. Just because the same concepts may be developed for V3 models and in different configurations doesn't mean that they are "available".


understood, i was just asking if someone had a picture of it. they show the one from the front, just nice to know what the connection side looks like. that's all.

Andrew himself talked to me about the M80 DSP, I'm pretty sure it's real enough. He described the difference with the DSP.

wink

since I have M80V2 that,s why I asked if it would be compatible with mine. Since they probably have V3 components in them, yes they will. Any older V2 won't work. I ordered my M80V2 just a few months away from the V3 release.

So far this is real information and no speculation.

I know the product was not announced officially but let's wait and see.

i'd be willing to bet that the amp for the rear section doesn't need to be as powerful as the front section. i bet only the gain needs to be identical. lets face it the rear only has 2 tweeters and 2 mid-woofers. the front has all of that plus 3 (sub) woofers.

time will tell

I would guess there is a reason why you need matching amplification. Also, Ian specifically said "exactly the same"... I am going to do what Ian said to do, since he and Andrew designed the things.

A lot of good advice. I looked on the outlaw site and I could get 5 2200s for $1324. The 5th one is free. That would be 4 for the new speakers and one for my 180. Then the surrounds on the Onkyo.
Looks like that may a good setup. But talking my wife into the 4000.00 investment. HMMMM. Plus the DSP for the 180.

Again thanks for all the replies. A lot of knowledge here that I sure don't have.

Yeah. At least it sounds good when using that word.

That's sort of funny. When I first saw your post I was going to reply to the contraray of Dak. Your wife is not stupid (she's not Romanian, is she?). She knows that investments increase in value. You have to convince her that your fulfilled desire will will make you so ecstatic that you will be a changed man and gleefully do the laundry and the supermarket shopping.


Always call the place you live a house. When you're old, everyone else will call it a home.

Actually my wife is a great lady. Been married 39 years. Just joking on this some. She will say do what you want to do. She really loves the HT and our time watching movies. Not so much into music. But this is a lot of money and will have to convince myself more than her.
