I move into my house being built in about 2 months. I am slowly piecing together a new home theater/pseudo-audiophile system in anticipation of the move. I got the amp last week as it was an incredible deal. It is rated 9.2 for 4ohm at 210W. Is t

I'm watching the big brother to my current Yamaha. Once the new cable is anounced its value should drop another hundred or two.

Wow, you are a buzzkill today, Murph. I don't HAVE to have the DAC built-in to the switcher, I just need to perform both of those functions if I want zone2 audio from the Apple TV. Whether I buy a new receiver or not; the ATV doesn't have analog au

I think if you want a DAC built in to a HDMI switcher, you are indeed looking at a new receiver. I wish I could remember the model of the Monoprice switcher I tossed. You can probably find my post if you have patience enough with the search engin

We just put them out during a good Nor'Easter. It's important to make them stand backwards to the wind so it blows against the grain.

Sound advice. I will experiment with a few other blu rays and report back. My axiom m80's will be arriving in the next week or two and will be replacing my cerwin vega d8's. Hopefully I can iron this all out

Even more puzzling. If the problem is decoding the DD or DTS from the Blu-rays in the 5007, set the PS3 to decode them and output PCM rather than the original bitstream(the listening mode would then be multi-channel in, rather than DD or DTS). You sa

Its possible. I installed an amp using the same reciever and all 4 channels were out of phase. YPAO confirmed over and over. It didn't sound right. I knew it wasn't the(my) wiring so I swapped pos/neg at two of four speakers and walla.YPAO confirmed.

Personally, I'd spend the small amount of extra money and get the QS8's due to their lower bass extension.

I've had QS4s on my wish list for a while now, to complement my M50s. 20% off may just force my hand.

Yes, using pre outs. Using the same power amp that I was using with the yammy(rotel rmb 1095). Im ocd with wiring, re checking dozens of times along the way, plus, i've double checked tge wiring the other day. And setup was a breeze since all I ha
