and again.

Bump for edit and price reduction!!

It's really not. I went from scared to death that I'd kill my speakers to, thinking I could possibly do it, to really pumped about doing it to WOW that was easy and it sounds SWEET!

Wes,

I'd never done anything like this before, but I had the help of Har & F1Nut, the Polk tech team who were great with getting out schematics of the crossovers and also my professional tutor who...

Edit 7/02/04

CS400 is gone. Still have the RTA11tl's though. I've looked into packing and shipping. Depending on where you're at I can ship them anywhere in the 48 for $525 - 550 total. Paypal...

Thanks! Oneac has some info on their web site - http://www.oneac.com/pdf/913407E.pdf - that outlines a bit what the power conditioners are made to do. They do everything all the other surge...

No, the PS Audio and Brickwall units are not power limiting at all and I didn't have to turn things up at all. In fact I noticed more dynamics not less. I got away from them because I found the...

If you do, look into replacing the outlets in the OneAC with cryo treated Hubbell 5262 (15 amp) or 5362 (20 amp) outlet. I replaced the wall outlets and outlets & wiring in the oneacs yesterday and...

In the past two years since I've gotten back into 2 channel I went through many of the same searches for info on power conditioning. First off, I have learned that Richard Grey along with Monster,...

F1 - good to see you again. It's been awhile. Great mini-reviews. It's always good to see what someone with similar sonic prefrences thinks about other speakers. I've long had my eye on the SF...

Tour,

Absolutely agree. If I would have really gone into it I would've mentioned that for two channel you'll probably get the 125wpc - but he was talking surrounds and that in small transient...

PCG, to your underpowered speakers point. Chances are, that no matter what receiver you get unless perhaps it's B&K, the quoted wattage rating will never be able to be reached by all the amps in the...

If you were closer I'd come out and help you. Actually, I bet it would be cheaper to fly me there for the two or three hours worth of work and fly me home than it will be to pay someone to do this...

Whoops! Bad link, there is NO NEED for the resistor Sorry!! - here you go -...

OK, here's my $.02. I just did this last year about this time. Really, really really DON'T pay someone to do it. This is SOOOO easy. If you can hook up your speakers now, you can do this. I...

brett,

Not necessarily. It's gonna be based on the quality of the DACs and surrounding components. The advantage a DAC is going to have is that it's built ONLY for that and has much more...

Sorry, no experience with the Parasound. I'd check audioreview.com - I know I read up a little on it and it's gotten good reviews, but, it's a little bit older. If it were me, I'd spend the extra...

Al,

Sounds like you had a fun night! Sorry to hear it didn't yeild the results you were looking for, but at least you've narrowed some stuff down!

You've got a couple routes you can go now. A...

Danger,

Before I went and bought more stuff, I might :p rearrange some stuff in my system or try a cheap tweak. Did you get back there and rearrange the amps yet? As I said, from what I...

I ordered up enough sheets of Parts Express vinyl sheets to do the inside of both speakers for about $40 shipped. I figured that's pretty cheap for an experiment and it's gotten good reviews on...

It'd be easier to tell you at a certain price point. The older DACs will work just fine but you'll probably have more advance conversion chips in your DVD player, it's just that the surrounding...

Yup, you are bi-amping. You've got a separate amp channel running the low/mid and the highs.

As for the surrounds, you should be fine with this. Although it exceeds the power spec of the...

Here are a couple possibilites

Denon 2802 - http://www.crutchfield.com/cgi-bin/S-6iseoebdPgL/ProdView.asp?s=0&cc=01&g=10420&id=morephotos&pi=2&i=130VSXD812&display=XL
Pioneer VSX-D812 -...

If you are for sure going to go with outboard amplification, then I'd suggest getting a "cheaper" model with 7.1 pre-outs, like the newer Onkyo, Denon 1802/3 2802/3, HK 502. My point is, you won't...
