Its less like you're listening to the movie and more like you're in the middle of the movie, if that makes sense. And I agree, voltage=voltage, shouldn't make any difference if it comes from an Onyko receiver or an Axiom amp, right? Only thing I can figure is, even at moderate volumes, the power required to fill my big great room (10,000+ cubic ft?) with sound is way more that the Onkyo can cover at all times, and thus distorts to a certain degree. While the ADA1500 has no problem, with room to spare, even at high volume (which I've experienced btw, and its just wicked cool). I really feel like, for the first time, I've stepped completely into this mystical "Audiophile" world. Cool place to be. As you can see there was a wink at the end of my reply. I have from the start advocated getting an external amp (I run a Rotel RB1080) and buy as much power as you can comfortably afford. I'm glad your liking your new toy; enjoy. This was long before it was popular.

Well, after getting 5% off and going over my budget, I'll be able to order an ADA-1250 3 channel amp for $1,966.50 on August 23rd, barring any emergencies.

"going over my budget"
This seems to be a common issue my friend.. I think you should take my approach... Forget the budget.... Probably the worst thing for an Economist to say.. But... everyone needs some indulgences.. |

Can anyone comment on how much ventilation these amps need? Do they get very hot?
Am thinking about going big with a 7 channel 1000 or maybe even a 1250 next spring.

Bayne, you should check out the class of operation for those amps that interest you;
class D runs very cool, and class A/B runs much warmer. class F, as on my amps, runs very cool too, but maybe a little bit warmer than class D. the warmest air coming out of my amps, at the fan outlet, is about 40 Celsius.
