    Best rears for NHT 3.3/AC2 front?

    I have NHT 3.3 mains, AC2 center, 1.5 sides, and superzero rear centers. I would love to go with 2.9 sides/rears (and even go back to 5.1), but I just can't place that deep a tower speaker in my current room. So, I am thinking about getting either a pair of VR3s or a pair of AC2s (placed...

    What % of content of 5.1 track is in front 3 channels?

    I've read that a typical movie DVD 5.1 track sends about 60% to the center channel. What percentage is replayed through the left and right mains? Of course, the center, mains, and rears should add up to 100%.

    Two Aragon 8008x3 (as monos) VS. 8008BB?

    To drive a pair of NHT 3.3 towers in stereo, how would two 8008x3 (one per speaker, therefore as monos) compare to one 8008BB? 2.0kVA vs 1.1kVA per speaker. How many watts in Class A into one speaker would I get from one 8008x3, with two open channels? The reason I ask is, if the 8008x3's...

    MC8 Owners: 5.1 Logic7 vs Ultra2?

    Just wondering what Lexicon MC8 owners think of 5.1 Logic7 vs. THX Ultra2? Of course, when using Ultra2, THX is engaged, so you'd probably need to engage THX on Logic7 also.

    Rotel Owners News Alert: The 1066 Prepro is way undervalued!

    News Alert! Since the Rotel 1066 prepro at 1500 retail (before dealer discount) is at least as good as the Outlaw 950. And since the Outlaws and countless Outlaw owners believe that their $899 prepro is just as good, straight up, as prepros costing 3-4k, then YOUR Rotel 1066 must be too :D...

    Why don't Aragon, Bryston, Rotel, Parasound, Proceed, etc make Class G amps?

    Does anyone beside me wonder why just about every major amp manufacturer doesn't use Class G designs in their amps? Most amps are A/B with varying bias in pure Class A. These new Outlaw/NHT 200 watt monoblocks go from A/B to G at 80 watts. So above 80 watts, you are listening to G. If Class G...
