Onkyo and Yamaha have receivers that are 4 ohm stable. I don't know about the impedance switch altering the sound. You would have to try it and use your ears.

For the $$ you are looking at I...

"apparently been shot and stabbed shot multiple times each"

Not only shot, but, stabbed shot. That had to hurt.

I'll bet the 10-15 people will be arrested for assault, battery, attempted murder.

I don't know what I would do with that much free time. After about 4 days I'm bored with the current vacation and ready for something else.

I did two weeks in Japan. I loved it but day 7 came...

++ That. I would expect that most companies would tell you but you have to ask. There is good, less expensive, unbalanced (end to end) gear out there.

I know, if the entire amp is truly balanced than you are good to go. A lot of manufacturers for what ever reasons don't do this and just put in op-amps.

Emotiva is an example. Not sure about...

The amp in the receiver makes zero difference if you are using the receiver as a pre-pro feeding external amplification.

Aren't the guys at the custom A/V installer you work for able to provide...

I got rid of my HK3600. Just was never happy with the overall sound or room correction. The Denon 4308Ci does a better job for my setup.

Depending on budget I would look at the Denon 3XXX or 4XXX...

Dayuuum...

You would need a powered ART Cleanbox Pro that will take RCA and convert it to XLR. You could get two of these (one for each end) and make the run with XLR and convert back to RCA at both ends. It's...

Neither in most situations. XLR's are better for noise rejection and longer runs but require an additional op-amp where RCA's don't.

My point is made. When you can't win on technical (or any other merit) you just start the name calling.

Again: Post SOMETHING, ANYTHING that factually backs up all the misinformation that you have...

Hmmm... My DC300a is 34 years old. My last Denon I purchased in 96 and gave to a friend in 2008 (still working). I still have my PSB's from 96 and my AR's are still in service that I picked up in...

I'm all for his externally amp all channels. It's just the baffoonery that you put forward needs debunked:

That somehow with a quality receiver (I've EASILY listed three) will have...

Guys, let me know when you are willing to have a discussion based on technical merit.

The ad-hom attacks just reinforce the pattern that when you are soundly bested by fact you resort to child...

That is a great approach and I'm with it 100%. Conversations like these HAVE to take place on the field of technical merit. The fact of the matter is that surrounds 99.9% of the time are going to...

Don't leave Denon out:wink: A lot of people have them also. Just goes to show a little research goes along way.

Just to show you what a great guy I am. I am going to help your customers by proxy....

Again, just post this over at AVSforum for a gut check. You can either be informed and make purchasing choices based on that or you can go with uninformed instinct. It really doesn't change the...

I'm suggesting that he run his mains off of something like an Adcom 5503 and his surrounds off of a receiver. Don't you read?!

My 4803Ci is rated 6-16 Ohm. The L/C/R are driven off an external...

Can you have a conversation based on the merits or not? Can you find any post of mine where I said Behringer was the high water mark of audio reproduction? The EP2500 is certainly a stellar sub amp,...

Is this customer driving a full 7.0 setup (4 ohm) off of a receiver? I feel sorry for your customers if you don't understand how this stuff works.

Ender is potentially off loading 85% of the load...

You're so full of crap john it isn't funny. Ender, don't listen to john. You will have ZERO problems running 4 ohm surround speakers with any decent receiver.

If john really believed what he...

Any decent receiver (especially in the price range you most likely will be looking at) will handle 4 ohms for the surrounds. You are not going to saturate the PSU of the receiver powering surrounds. ...

1. Obviously mod the X-overs. Great return on the investment

2. You should be able to score an Adcom 5503 for $400 or $350. It's 350 wpc at 4 ohm. Use a receiver to drive the surrounds (it won't...

I didn't need them now... Just another resource for the avid DIY'er. Actually it is quicker than taking 30/40 minutes out of my day to go to the store, wait in line etc.



And I'm sure another...

Treitz,

Just in case your selective memory missed the intent and spirit of my OP.
