I was just currious. My new amp was delivered half open by Fedex. Should there be 5 audio jacks or a remote with it. Every think else seemed to be in order. I was definatly and inttentionaly opened. LOVE that B&K sound!

Thank you Mr. Atese. All ready have it wired sounds dgreat even w/ my little yamaha. Still waiting on the denon 3803. When my funds recover I might looking for a 125.5 or .7 to biamp the whole system. I bet that would be one kick ass sound. Do you have yours plugged into your reciever so it come on automaticaly . I know they don't reccomend it. I was forced to put mine behind the rack to give it propper ventalation. Or is there another way to configure it. The mannual wasn't real clear on the daisy chain instructions.


Thankyou

pm,
I use my 125.7 along with B&K Reference 50. How it works, as far as controlling it, is through 12v Trigger. I am not sure if 3803 comes with 12v Trigger, but that is the best way. If not, Radio Shack sells a trigger control using switched outlet on your receiver. The daisy chain basically allows you to control multiple power amps, when connected to a receiver/pre-amp equipped with trigger control. Each of the power amps has in and out trigger, so from one power amp to the next, you connect them using trigger cable (mini mono headphone plug), and *daisy chained* them together. Hope it helps.

Why not buy a preamp instead of a amp.
I know you got a B7K amp.You can pick up a used B&K ref 30 for under 2 g's.Go for it and upgrade it down the road.B&K has the upgrade out already.

3803 just arrived. It does have a 12v trigger but it does not have a 3prong outlet. Looks like i'm going to the shack. Maybe I should have looked into the B&K prepro but I am on a budget.


Thanks,
