    Monitor Audio RX8 BiAmping

    I did not think that I would gain such a strong response. I very much appreciate all of your feedback and info; I now understand the concept of biamping. This is one of the reasons I ask questions here when I'm stuck :)

    Hmm....so what am I actually gaining? The receiver manual tells me that it is sending separate signals to each post...

    Monitor Audio RX8 BiAmping

    Here is what I am doing: I have a Pioneer Elite VSX-52 reciever, running a 5.2 setup. The reciever is 7.2, and has the option to use the remaining two channels for biamping. It does have 7 discrete amps, instead of 1 big one, each at 110 watts. (As far as my knowledge goes) I am actively...

    Monitor Audio RX8 BiAmping

    I recently purchased some RX8s and really want to bi-amp them. I removed the "jumper plates" and proceeded to make the proper cable connections. When I did play music through them, I could really only hear a low rumble. I am using 2 different types of wiring, 14g and 20g-would this make a...

    Suitable Receiver+Amps for Bowers-Wilkins CM8

    I'm afraid to buy the B&W CM Center (The small one) due to the fact that it has been out for a while; What if a new one comes out next year? I haven't been able to find any rumors of a new one, but....

    Suitable Receiver+Amps for Bowers-Wilkins CM8

    Currently I have a bottom line Denon powering a pair of CM8s (L/R), a Mirage OS3 CC (Center), and two Mirage MX surrounds. The receiver is a Denon 1611, with 75 wpc. The receiver sure struggles when I'm using the stereo at high levels... I did a little background search and I came up with the...

    Speakers / Record Player / Receiver for Music

    I was in the same boat quite recently myself. If you were to get a Denon with Air Play, it would run you at $549.99. Or, you could buy a bottom line Denon receiver for $249.99. With the extra cash, you could spend more on speakers, or buy a Playstation 3 for $249.99 or an Xbox 360 for $199.99...

    Help with Bose speakers and denon receiver

    I once was a proud, ignorant owner of Bose. But now, I have a half decent setup, of which I will not go to in detail. For a few years, up until fairly recently, I had small bedroom 5.1 sound system of Mirage MX speakers. They are slightly smaller than the Bose, yet sound significantly better...

    How loud is too loud?

    When I play music or watch movies, I usually put the volume to -20 to -25 db on my Denon receiver. It has a 75 watt per channel amp, and connected to fairly efficient speakers. Is this too loud? Please note that my room is not treated.

    Upgrade Bug-Please Help!

    Klipsch Reference RF-7 II Meh. That's all I had to say about them at first. They don't look like mounds of **** but they'd not really the Maserati GranTurismo of speakers either. They just look okay. Their strength is obviously not music. They are a little too crisp for me and do not seem to...

    Upgrade Bug-Please Help!

    I went out this afternoon, and listened to the Klipsch Reference RF-7 IIs, Bowers Wilkins CM8s, Energy Veritas 6.2, Def Tech Mythos Fours, Martin Logan Electromotion ESLs, and Monitor RX8s. I brought a few of my favorite records along (OK Computer-Radiohead, Come Fly With Me-Frank Sinatra...

    Upgrade Bug-Please Help!

    @Pyrrho Thanks for the info-I will definitely include Magnepan in my "search" The joke about the French was simply a joke-Maybe a third of all of my clothes/shoes are French and I love 'em. As for speakers, I will try to listen to as many kinds and brands of speakers as I can.

    Upgrade Bug-Please Help!

    I want to use these new speakers mostly for music-I don't care too much about movies and games. As I said, I like the Energy Veritas and Bowers-Wilkins CM, but other suggestions would be great. I have heard both the KEF Q900s and PSB Image T6. I listened to my favorite artists (Radiohead, Frank...

    Upgrade Bug-Please Help!

    Would an amp make a bigger difference in sound than new speakers?

    Upgrade Bug-Please Help!

    So maybe I should get new speakers instead? I really love the Energy Veritas, Klipsch Reference, and B&W CM lines...I hope my current receiver has enough juice to power them-I listen to music fairly loud.
