I've heard a lot of good things about the VMPS RM40's, but have no local dealers where I can listen to them. Is there anyone in the New England area with RM40's that would be willing to let me listen to them?
Should you have less powerful amplifiers for your surrounds as the surround speaker max handlings are generally less, or match the same amplifier power rating across the board?
What if I changed the speakers to 8 ohm, 50 to 500 watt handling, with 91dB efficiency and left everything else the same? Also, should you have less powerful amplifiers for your surrounds as the surround speaker max handlings are generally less, or match the same amplifier power rating across...
how about speaker sensitivity of 90, 4ohm impedence, 22x15x7.5 foot room with acoustical paneling, reference level loud and sometimes louder, and have a sub?
Optimally, should you get an amp whose power rating is higher than the maximal recommended power handling of your speakers? If so, then how much higher? Optimally, how powerful an amp should you get for a 4 ohm speaker whose minimum recommended power is 100 watts and maximum recommended power...
Optimally then, should you get an amp whose power rating is higher than the maximal recommended power handling of your speakers? If so, then how much higher? Optimally, how powerful an amp should you get for a 4 ohm speaker whose minimum recommended power is 100 watts and maximum recommended...
Is it "bad" or can you have too powerful an amplifier? For example, a speaker that recommends a maximum of 300 watts and you have a 450watt rated amplifier. Bad for the speakers? I've heard it is better to have too much power than too little power for speakers. However, can too much power be...
Is it really worth paying the extra money to get balanced outputs vs single ended outputs? I've read that it may be worth it if there is a long run of interconnects. Does this mean between the processor and the amplifier or something else?
What do you think would be the minimum size of a room(length, height, and width)for a dedicated home theater that could comfortably seat about 6-8 people with a 100 inch screen?
B&W does make a dipole speaker-the CDS6 which is part of their Custom Installation Series. However, I do not know whether they will match with your current speakers. I just recently sent a similar question to B&W, that is, whether the CDS6 would match with their Nautilus line of speakers...
B&W does not seem to have a dipole/bipole speaker for the rear surrounds in their 800 Nautilus line. But they do have the CDS6 which is a THX approved dipole in their Custom Installation Series. Does this speaker match with the 800 Nautilus line, or would it be better to just use the SCM1, which...
Am looking at probably 60% HT and 40% music. My room is not built yet but my limitations are a 7'5" ceiling and 12' width. It is possible to make the length as long as needed. Amplifiers- Levinson 334 and 436 for the fronts and center and Proceed HPAs for the back. Probably Proceed AVP2 processor.
I am probably going to have the speakers out rather than built into the wall. Will wall mount the surrounds. Also looking at separate amplifiers rather than self powered speakers. Have listened to the B&W 802's and the aerial acoustics 10T's, both of which I really liked.
I am planning on building a new home theater in an unfinished part of my basement and have been looking for what speakers to put in the room. Looking to have a 7.1 system. Will do some listening to music too. Am willing to spend up to about 20K for the speakers. Any suggestions or opinions?
