I have a Marantz MM9000 5-channel amp. I was thinking about bridging 4 of the 5 channels. This amp wasn't specifically setup for bridging but I was wondering if there is any way to DIY. Thanks in advance.

The Marantz MM9000 is rated @ 150W x 5 and can be found for < $700. I'm a happy owner.

James, Although I am an owner of the H/K AVR 520, I wouldn't necessarily live by the all the rules outlined in the owner's manual. If you have a decent subwoofer, many would suggest setting all speakers to small (even if they are rated

Mike- I've been a happy owner of the MM9000 for several months. I use it to boost the power of my HK receiver. I use it for both music and HT applications and have been pleased. I looked around for awhile and this amp was definitely the best amp for the buck. The only minor complaint I...

I heard the next step is a single huge tower speaker with a swing inside that the listener sits in.

Another happy AVR 520 owner with no such problem (although I'm nocking on wood as I'm typing).:D

Most would suggest setting all speakers to "small." By setting the fronts to "large", the fronts will see the full sound spectrum (that is, the sub will not see anything that the fronts already see). By setting the fronts to "small" everything below the crossover frequency set by you will be...

Miles- You crack me up man. I hope your in a better place now. But if you ever swing by the HT forum again, set your center to "small."

Ken- As long as the speaker doesn't get exposed to direct sunlight for any extended period of time, I'd say go for it. I don't think the cold will affect it too much.

John- I'm also an H/K AVR 520 owner and have a Marantz 5 channel external amp. First, some would suggest that to ensure seamless sound in your front 3 speakers, you should get at least a 3 channel external amp to supply your front 3 speakers. By having an external amp (which are typically...

Craig, Solve the problem yet? I have the AVR 520 but only 5 speakers at the moment. But since I'll be adding a 6th and maybe a seventh in the near future, I'm interested in the solution to your dilemma. I assume since you have a 6ch amp that you have a cable leaving your...

My laptop hard drive is filled to its capacity. I wanted to get a new, dedicated external drive for storing my mp3s. That way when I upgrade my laptop (in a year or 2), I can just plug it in to the dedicated hard drive. Does anyone have any suggestions for

Christian, The HSU VTF-2 can be found at nax.com for $450 shipped. I own the sub myself and it is an outstanding investment for both home theater and music. But don't take my word for it, search all the home theater forums and you'll hear nothing but good things about this HSU...

To anyone, I checked up on what Richard said about NAD producing virtually an identical amp to the Carver 705x. I looked at the NAD 925 and it looks like pretty much the same amp as the Carver. However, it seems that there are many more complaints about the NAD at audioreview as well as...

Thanks Shawn. ------------------------------- Anyone else have any advice regarding these 2 amps?
