    Amp connection questions

    No lesson learned here. I can definitely tell a difference when I turn the volume all the way up. Effortless power and clarity at high volume. It just takes alot to impress me. And for those looking for a night/day difference it won't happen. My expectations were met.

    new XPA-5 speaker hum

    Alright, have had my new XPA-5 hooked up to my home theatre for a couple days now. I have to say I love the amp. I can easily tell the speakers are getting the power they need and it seems without effort. Now my complaint. I'm getting a hum from the speakers that is audible from 9 feet away at...

    That's cool. Just making sure. I'd already gotten these and wanted to be sure they were a sufficient choice. http://www.monoprice.com/products/product.asp?c_id=102&cp_id=10218&cs_id=1021814&p_id=2864&seq=1&format=2 All hooked up and not that impressed with the amp addition.

    "Overkill, but "not overkill" is 80% of what those cost." I'm sorry, can you translate that. hahaha

    Amplifier question

    Isn't that like comparing oranges to apples? The emotiva xpr-5 is $1700 with 400x5 seems like it wins over the outlaw 7500 I'm thinking the XPA-5 will get it done nicely. Don't really see the need for more than 200x5

    Amplifier question

    In truth, there's no way I'd put that my AV rack. I already do understand that there would be a negligible difference in sound. Perhaps only when turned up or when hearing the louder more climatic parts of movies. And that's cool with me, should keep any AV receiver i'm running much cooler. I'm...

    Amplifier question

    Ok. I like that suggestion. But I'm sure you know the next one. What amplifier? I've got no problem dropping 6k on one. Because I know it will be good for 20+ years (hopefully) I've read about emotiva and mcintosh. Two very different price points. I appreciate build quality and classical looks...

    Amplifier question

    Forgive my newness. But what are multiple crossover points and why would that benefit me? My crossover is set to 80 right now. I think this is a good setting since the STS subs are pretty good.
