Its 350. shipped from J&R, if they got any left in stock. I was there earlier in the week.

When a new "model" comes out its always closer to list price. After a few months, the price will be just about 450$. Early adopters don't mind paying more to be first.

I recently bought a 'refurbished' amp from Hafler, the shipping receipt read 'B-stock' and came with just a 90Day warranty, whereas the new ones have a 7year warranty. My old Outlaw 1050 avr was a B-stock and came with a full 2year warranty. Its all at the discretion of the manufacturer. Oh and...

Try making note of the all the levels in one pass, then go into menu and adjust all the speakers at one time, restart the Avia disc...make some more notes...back into menu, adjust all at the same time...run disc...should not take more than 3-4cycles to get them all in one line. On the 1014 the...

But the '60-250Hz' (actually 50-250) crossover points are output via the sub out which is in mono....how are you planning to use a mono signal to feed a stereo pair of bass/midbass drivers???

Yes...100Hz min. if your speakers are rated to 80Hz. You can also try it at 120Hz and see which sounds better.

I think you just answered your own question. If its too powerful to allow for level matching with the HK, how could you use it? Besides you would gain the most benefit by using it on the front speakers. But if the HK at -10dB on the fronts and +10dB on the rears still results in a mismatch...

Might be Spring...but who knows...

Use of a poly-glue like Gorilla can help close the gaps when your cuts are not precise, since that type of glue expand as it dries and works great on MDF material. I usually use a brad nailer for the initial assembly then use screws to pull every thing tight. I find that using a counter sunk bit...

Same here, I have 6.1 speaker set up so why not use all. I use DPLIIx as default with TV and DD movies.

4" should be ok, the MOSFET amps in the Pioneer run barely warm -5 below reference. Of course Pioneer have to cover themselves by allowing a wider margin to account for user error/abuse. And since you have all around open, that makes for rapid heat dispersion @360*. Enclosing amplifiers in an...

The straight answer is they share the same service manual. THe AMP section is the same, the PS section is the same, the Elite has a few extra features. The DAC is the same. Worlds apart is the 59x. ..unless we are talking microscopic scale.

Those 30A breaker circuits will cost you. The electrician will have to run new wires throughout the house. I don't know where you live but here in the City, almost no electrician use 14/2 anymore, everybody use 12/2 which is rated to 20A even if they put the lights on 15A breakers. A 30A-rated...

Check the condition of the cone surround, make sure its in good condition. The 'knobs' are for balancing the sub with any other speakers connected to the sub. Try lowering the INPUT level. If the cone is ok, try moving it away from corners. If none of those pan out, the amp in the sub might be...
