    Belkin PF40 PureAV™ Home Theater Power Console

    I got the PF60 before the price jump and couldn't be happier. No UPS capability, no super noticible PQ or Audio change...it is more for protection and convenience. It has a lot of set up options with outlet switching and delays. Just a nice piece of equipment for the price...and if it saves my...

    PF60 and 3 amps

    thanks Bob... I'm a tad confused...wouldn't the sub amps act the same as the outlaw amp? There are two individual amps that drive the subs. They are separate from the sub speakers. I mihgt be mis-understanding. Is it that the outlaw amp is reproducing almost full range vs. the sub amp only...

    Explain A-B selector on a receiver

    for several years I ran a set up..not exactly the same but may give some insight. I had a 1995 Denon AVR-2500 (?) that I used the A speakers as the main speakers and the B speakers were my deck speakers. I used the "Zone 2" out to a mid 80s yamaha 2x80w receiver. That receiver then went to one...
