Lol thanks trevor. Glad u liked the song

Skrillex is awesome. I might have heard it but im definitely going to check that track out when i get home! smile thanks

Mojo...thanks man. That makes sense. Yeah i think those measurements must be the accurate ones. I do want to get some monoblocks in the future for the mains

But it will be the last thing i put my money towards.

1. Order sub
2. Upgrade to new reciever
3. Upgrade mains to m100
4. Add 2 more channels to make it a 7.1.
5. Consider buying monoblocks or a second sub

wink


Thanks everyone. Im sold on the m100s. Best optionn financially

Depends where you are sitting.

As a general note on Rotel gear, all the reading i've done indicates they are well built and typically measure outputs beyond their specs. You may not have all the specs you see, but you have enough to get the general rating of what the amp can do/does.
I have a Rotel RA05 SE int-amp driving my home office setup. Plenty of power to really crank it. I was looking at possibly investing in a Rotel amp for the HT myself at one point but ended up with an Anthem.

Presumably they are holographic and acoustically disappear at the MLP? That's really all one can expect from passives.

The brochure on the Rotel site reads 200W/channel into 8 Ohms, 20Hz to 20KHz with 0.03% THD max. The all channels driven statement is curiously absent from the owner's manual. The brochure is published by Marketing. The owner's manual is published by Engineering. With twin 1.2 KVA transformers, I can believe the all channels driven spec, if a 20A circuit is being used for North America.

Well...since the website is buggy...and won't accept any serial numbers in the input(some issue with the scripts in webpage program i imagine)...i created a support ticket

After waiting a few days...no response and now ticket says closed.

Irritating but whatever. This is more of a long term plan. Im just going to message Ian directly if and when i have the money to trade up

I'm not sure if that online system ever worked well except to possibly tell you what age your speakers were made.
Easier just to call their line and sort out the tradeups. I'll be eyeballing ours this year (was going to last year but covid pushed many things).

I liked your old basement better.
I don't think your new 70s retro look is yet back in style Mojo.
