Going back to the XPA-5. It's a great amp and a good addition to any system. It's a piece you can keep and is affordable. More affordable now since Emotiva is having their 4th of July sale. The XPA-5 is 10% off with free shipping and free t-shirt. It's normal price is $599 which is a steal...

I buy used speakers all the time. I'm a speaker "freak" and like to experiment with different styles and manufacturers. In the past I've purchased B&W, Klipsch, Legacy, PSB, Scandyna, Genesis and Boston Acoustics on ebay. Only once did I have to contact the seller because he had...

Hey want to trade for a CP1+? Just kidding. I'm in the same boat as you. I paid over $1500 for this unit which is soooo outdated. I would sell it, but it's worth more to me than anyone else. Great unit, very configurable, just outdated.

Does your receiver have a digital coax connection? Unless it's a HTIB, your receiver should have one. This will provide any 5.1 formats, the same as the optical and I'll bet your Blu-ray player has one. Of course as mentioned above, you won't get the uncompressed higher-order audio formats...

In the past (Dolby Pro Logic days (4.1)) it wasn't necessary to have full-range surrounds since the rear channels were limited to a freq range of 100Hz-7KHz. All current formats are full-range capable except for the sub. The surrounds may not be fully utilized now, but you may want the...

The trick here is not to exceed the power capabilities of the amp. The lower the ohm rating the more current the speaker will attempt to draw. If you listen at a "reasonable" level you shouldn't have a problem. If you start "rocking the house" hopefully the protection circuit will shut the...

I understand the intimidation the rear panel of a surround receiver can impose. The RP3s should make good mains in both music and surround if configured correctly. You don't say exactly what you don't like about them, but I'm guessing it's the way surround channels most of the sound to the...

You don't list your equipment, so I can't give specifics. In general, many surround receivers have a format which provide stereo (2-channel sound) using all speakers. It may be formatted to have all the left channels on the left side of the room and right channels on the right, with the center a...

Don't be reeled in by budget receivers offering HDMI. Make certain the HDMI is 1.3 to allow for the upper level uncompressed audio formats and Deep Color video. If she likes the Denon you have, you may want to stick with them since their remotes are different. I have Yamaha, Denon and Sony...

Hi all, Newbie alert! Not to audio, just this site. I've been a fan of the older Klipsch' for many years. I'm the original owner of a pair of Kg4s I love and will never part with. I went on the Klipsch Pilgrimage two years ago in Indianapolis at their Engineering facility. It was pretty cool...
