The XPA-5 has balanced inputs, not that it may make a difference.

Definition of HAIR SHIRT 1 : a shirt made of rough animal hair worn next to the skin as a penance 2 : one that irritates like a hair shirt There are quotes.......I was quoting the reviewer.....but put the definition in there for you.

Nope, one of the problems with Netflix. If the movie has 5.1, you'll see in the 'title box' a HD symbol if its in HD and 5.1 if its in 5.1. I don't watch any 'movies' on Netflix because of that, just documentaries, TV shows etc. They don't have the bandwidth to stream HD audio...which...

Guess what....the Zu's sound better than the Aperions :D Not trying to start anything, but having 2 speakers which as you mention, have very different measurement graphs, the Zu's simply sound better. I use a sub, so don't notice any issue with the low end of the Zu's, and for the high end...

I would have thought that someone with 7500 posts would know more than to just post some graphs and say "this is what this speaker is" If you actually read the review, he highly recommends the speaker. Such comments as "In many ways, the Zu Essence is an underachiever, measurement-wise...

I don't have superfly's, but I do have Omens (line below) and Essence (line above). I use solid state amps with mine. They sound fine. Granted a tube/phono would probably add some 'warmth' to the sound, they sound just fine to me. Having said that, I'm probably going to buy a Peachtree...

Reliability questionable? Other than the UMC-1, given the warranty, that statement is incorrect. If problem, send it back. For their amps, very very few people report problems. Resale, go to their forums, people are selling their equipment. Typically for 75% of new. Thats pretty good I'd...

I'd prefer to sell these locally, Houston TX. Shipping could get expensive. OMD15s Mint Condition, $700 (split shipping if shipped) OMD28s Mint Condition, $2000 I just upgraded my system to Zu Audio, nothing wrong with the speakers.

This room is still being worked on. I was testing Mirage, Zu Omen and Zu Essence. I stuck with Zu Essence for the L/R, Zu Omen Center & Surrounds. Selling the Mirages......

Had to hire a carpenter to modify the 'built-in' at my house, here's the result. The black on the bottom is a mesh to allow venting of heat.....

The comment 'as long as its done properly' is where the comment comes from about it possibly negatively affecting it. I've seen analysis where people will run 'any cable they have lying around as the poster mentioned' - and running cables that are all different lengths, type of connectors...

I prefer BJC because I can customize my end connections, ie, order the connectors myself, or have them do it. My speaker binding posts are larger than the standard spade size you usually get. I prefer their sub cable because the monoprice cable I used had a 'hum' associated with it. It...

Its a highly debated topic, my recommendation is to hook it up both ways, compare the results using the same source equipment and see what you think. I personally experimented with it on both my systems, there was no audible difference running either single or dual wires to each speaker...

It probably depends on your AV receiver manufacturer. It should say in your manual (or you can look it up online) and then make any changes in the 'setup' menus. It should be labeled surround L/R... and NOT back or rear surround L/R unless yours is an oddball.

When you order a movie from netflix, underneath the title, if the movie is in 'HD' it will say 'HD' in a yellow box. If it is 5.1 sound, it will say 5.1 sound. When I play a bluray disc, my oppo usually tells me there is around 25-40 mbps playing. Netflix streams at ~2 mbps. So there is...

Mine was done for a few hours last night (I use PS3 to access). Good link on engaget, was surprised to read about some of the shows that won't be renewed this summer for Netflix service.

So if your sub has a 'stereo' input for the RCAs, ie, one red/white (L/R), does it matter if you plug it in direct into one or the other, or should you 'Y' it to the L/R. I'd think the Y would add another potential for noise.

You can call the closing company ahead of time and have them do a closing cost estimate for you, so you don't have the issue the poster above mentioned - having it cost more than you think. That estimate will layout who owes what to whom, so I'd do that first. Is it one of the big title...

If you have it set to bitstream, then none of the Oppo settings should affect the audio signal. I have the Oppo 83, I'm assuming nothing has changed to the 93. The receiver will do all the decoding/processing and output to your speakers. You should see it light up 'Dolby DTS HD' when you play...

Black Keys as well - CD though
