    Emotiva XPA-DR2 Amplifier Home Audition - Maybe This Is Enough Power

    Approximately 27 years ago I bought the speakers that I still use in my HT today. They're Thiel CS3.6, which are legendary for being hard on amps. They are incredibly hard to drive, but they sound amazing and I could never afford something of their caliber at current prices. In the time I've...

    Power or Refiniment?

    I guess I must be tough on amps. My main speakers (Thiel CS 3.6) are notoriously difficult to drive and it seems they are sending their second amp to an early grave. It's an Emotiva XPA-2, and the same problem it's developed claimed the prior amp, an Aragon 4004II. That Aragon was not a...

    How Do You Deal With Power Issues ?

    Where I live [somewhat frequent] power outages are all but a certainty. Like many of us here, I have some expensive and precious gear and want it to be protected. To that end I installed [professional grade] Whole Home Surge Protection and also have a Panamax M5300 downstream. Unfortunately...

    Solar power for the home

    It appears the last thread was Sam's solar thread from 2014. So I'll start a new one for myself. A few homes in my neighborhood have gone solar and that got me a bit interested, but I was lazy and didn't followup on it. Then two friends, one a neighbor and one a coworker, told me they're going...

    Popping noise at power on

    I'm pretty sure this has been covered somewhere on this or other forums, so I apologize up front. I had an old (7 years old) Pioneer vsx 1021K receiver that would make a single loud pop noise whenever the receiver was powered on. It was loud annoying, but I got over it. Recently I purchased a...

    How Much Power

    The audio salesperson tried to convince me when listening at normal level (home-theatre) we only need the amp to output between 10-20 watts to speakers. Is this true ? So, why do people have clipping / distortion issue ? In which circumstance would it have clipping / distortion ? I guess the...

    Thin mini-itx internal power and ATX power supply

    I bought the wrong motherboard a couple of months ago, an Asus Q170T/CSM, and decided "What the hell? I'll make an HTPC!" So I started doing research and bought some more parts. One of those parts was the Corsair Obsidian 250D case, which has room for a full size ATX PSU. If I don't use a...

    Yamaha HTR-2064 (2011) turned itself off, won't power back up

    We've checked the fuse inside the plug and the fuse inside the AV receiver itself. None of the capacitors appears to be damaged. We've tried without any speaker cables being connected. We can't perform a reset due to no power. Any other ideas?
