First of all,to Tim. I am sorry if I pooped on your thread as I really didn't want to. The Denon or Outlaw would both be fine choices. John I am not trying to mislead anyone for any reason so I think it is only proper to get this thread headed in the original direction. Thanks

John, power in audio is not rated like you're thinking.I don't have the formula right in front of me but the differance between the two is probaly a decible if not less in overall volume.I could be wrong but I believe you would need a 300 watt amp to get the extra 6db you are looking for.

As a rule you will destroy more speakers with lower power than higher power. When trying to drive speakers at high volume with a low power amp,as Lewis said you will likely be driving them into high distortion levels.With the higher power amp is just running along smoothly it is rare for them to...

Joey V asked guys, what is an IB? sorry to sound dumb. Joey I'll let one of the other guys answer it for you.As you can tell I didn't exactly understand it to well either or you might try doing a search in the DIY and Advanced project area.BTW as the saying goes Joey There are no dumb...

I purchased this driver a few months ago and finally got around to posting about it. I'll post questions in order with numbers so as to make it easier to answer and help me out or tell me what i'm doing wrong. First of all the driver was received in perfect condition with packaging that would...

Jeff, thanks for the reply.Glad to hear that I'm not alone. I agree that it is a small price to pay. I love this thing.PQ on my toshiba HD is amazing. I upgraded from a Panasonic a120 and I really wasn't expecting much. But it is definatly staying put. Steve

Hi guys, I have to say that the picture on this player is absolutely great. But I am wondering if anyone is having problems getting a disk to load the first time its inserted. My player has to be opened and closed with some disks before it works right.It has never failed to play anything I've...
