    Houston, we have a problem

    A RARE EXCEPTION….;) WAF is a big factor which can swing the selection of our gear. But rarely there are exceptions. In my case I am blessed. My wife was very supportive of my AV madness. No complaints on the hijacking of real estate in the main room. When I was bringing in the PB 13 ultra...

    My room is bigger by 30%. I missed running the calibration again for the new speakers. I iwll do this today. Thanks for pointing that. I am not thorough with ablsolute vs relative volume, however I turned the volume knob to max until it takes the input.

    It was not distorted but the clean/crisp sound was lacking...something that I can’t clearly say but there was no life in the music leave alone the loudness.

    Amplifier for SVS ultras 7.1 - XPA7/AT1807 etc.

    Actually what baffled me was that such a tiny setup of my friend could make the quadrals sing with a source fed by a mp3 song over Bluetooth. Whereas in my case I used the CD directly with OPPO 103d to feed the AVR and still the sweetness n loudness were missing. That’s when I assumed that an...

    Amplifier for SVS ultras 7.1 - XPA7/AT1807 etc.

    Yes this can be probable because some other loads are connected to this source like oppo 103d, a htpc and a Pb13 ultra. I will disconnect these and again run the setup from beginning as I have not any specific settings other than running the Audessey XT32. Thanks for pointing that out.

    Amplifier for SVS ultras 7.1 - XPA7/AT1807 etc.

    Thanks. My mind is still in dilemma after reading the balanced vs. unbalanced dicussions and then decide between XPAs and the ATs .

    Amplifier for SVS ultras 7.1 - XPA7/AT1807 etc.

    Thanks. So should I opt now for fully balanced model like AT2002 or emotiva XPA DR3 which is 3 channel fully balanced?

    Amplifier for SVS ultras 7.1 - XPA7/AT1807 etc.

    Thanks Peng for the quick reply. How much importance should we attach to "balanced amplifier" - because the section that i have here are XPA gen 3 (3/5/7) which are balanced vs ATI unbalanced. Which one should we opt keeping in view that i will keep them running until they give up.

    The shipping from USA is around $450 for any 5 or 7 channel amp from amazon (ex. XPA 5/7, Marantz, Yamaha). So its extremely high and so started looking here. I am getting the XPA 5 or 7 at USA pricing. The local dealer has NAD and Niam as well but for 2 channel.
