You know you don't have to respond to it if it upsets you brother. Hence the title of the forum thread. Some are just here to learn and not to be insulted by those who know too much.

I have been looking at some receivers lately and found that they perform a crossover function when you select bi-amp for two of the outputs. The wiring inside the speaker should be separated after the speaker posts. I looked inside a set of speakers at my buddies house and the crossover for...

Honestly, I think most of us are over 30 - 35 anyway. At that age, most (if not all) of us loose quite a bit of our hearing (specific freq wise). I know I have lost my 15K and above as I get a hearing test annually in the Marine Corps. They said I have excellent hearing for my age, but what...

I am still on the fence regarding the CSI A6 center and the FXI A6 surrounds. They are a big change from my Bose Lifestyle system. The Bose speakers are small and sexy, but lack the quality. I guess that's what you get for two inch drivers... LOL Anyway, the A9s are definitely going to...

I think 300 wpc will be a sweet spot. I've heard a lot of people with these speakers say the XPA-1 is nirvana. I don't think I can afford to buy two 500W monoblock amps and post bail at the same time when the cops show up for the 20th time...

WOW! Went back to the showroom and they hooked up the RTi A9s to the Onkyo NR3009 biamped. Because the speakers are so power hungry, they sang like an eagle with the two inputs. The highs obviously didn't have any noticeable change, but the bass was much cleaner and more powerful. There was...

I appreciate your advice and guidance everyone. I now realize that by asking my question, I am in over my head. I spoke with a good friend of mine on the phone today and he spoke at length about preamps, class A tube amps for the highs, active crossovers, a good class D for the sub... I don't...

I was actually considering active bi amping (two separate amplifier channels to each speaker). Passive bi amping is just four wires from the same amp, correct? To clarify my "not very impressed" statement: the speakers sound really good. The clarity was incredible and the sound image was...

I am looking at purchasing the Polk Audio RTi A9 floorstanding speakers and driving them with the Onkyo TX-NR3009 AVR biamped. The receiver is rated at 140W 2 channels driven and I was hoping to get much better performance and clarity (especially with the bass) with the biamp setup. I listened...
