    Yamaha AVENTAGE 2021 AV Receivers Bulk Up on Power and 8K Features

    As a dealer can you make few calls to Yamaha reps do they have any new products for us next month at Cedia/IFA? This silence is not good. At least 2020 RX-V and A2A models getting refreshed with 40Gbps hdmi boards. :rolleyes: @gene should do YT interview with Phil Shea what is the company`s...

    Denon X3800H / Classe Audio CA-5200 - Ground Loop through RCA-cables?

    How would I know I would not experience similar issues with these power amplifiers as I have with the Classé and Parasound? Ordering Audiophonic, Nord, Apollon or similar would likely have to be done from abroad, so if I did experience similar issues returning it would be a pain (also custom...

    Class AB or D for LCR?

    I have both the Monolith 8250X and the Monolith 7-channel amps. Which amp should I use for my front and center speakers? It looks like, based on the amp ratings, the 7-channel amp has less distortion, but the 8-channel amp takes 2 plugs. I'm plugging these into 15A circuits, and I sit 8' away...

    Cambridge Audio EVO 150 Streaming Amplifier Review!

    ...of the Yamaha R-N1000A. As a result, the Dynamic Power figures should NOT have been there for the EVO 150. I found the EVO 150, like many Class D amps with a regulated power supply, has no dynamic headroom. The burst test power is the same as the 1kHz sweep power. The reason for this is...

    PC to replace console in my home cinema

    I won't recommend buying a 2k gaming machine from Aliexpress for several good reasons: a) Effectively, there is no warranty on parts or whole PC b) Both memory and SSD storage devices would be of the lowest possible tier c) The 4070 12 GB edition has been discontinued by Nvidia and replaced with...

    Any plans on reviewing this NAD integrated amp?

    I thought you are talking about this specific kind of integrated amps. Otherwise, please know that NAD has been "using class D before in an integrated amp", and quite a few have bench test results available too. Just visit the NAD website and look under "Integrated amplifiers", in fact most...

    New power amp time

    ...water get the Purifi 7040 Monoblocks! :D FWIW, I use Hypex amplification and am very happy with it. I did not notice any difference changing from Class AB to class D. These things will provide gobs of clean power and are not going to add any distortion unless you seriously try to overdrive them.

    Denon a1h vs Yamaha a8a

    ...some of us on Audioholics may tell you about their subjective views on "fidelity", "sound quality" etc. For example, many will rule out class D amps and favor class AB, and some would only go with class A, and on preamp, dac, some will tell you the so called dual differential...

    How are primare amps?

    ...and bulky for me, regardless of performance since there are many amps available that don't weigh a ton and are SOTA. Primare started building class D (Hypex based) recently but I haven't dove into the specs, so it could be an option for *me*. In theory they should be STOA but we've seen...

    New Line up of AV Receivers from JBL

    There was some mention of 2 subs on a couple of postings I saw - but they may not be independent channels, and there is no talk of Dirac DLBC for it. The range looks to be clearly focused on the mass market - leaving Arcam & JBL Synthesis for the higher end with 9.1 you can set up 5.1.4 -...

    Denon X3800H / Classe Audio CA-5200 - Ground Loop through RCA-cables?

    Out of curiosity I struck a deal with the seller of the Parasound A31 that he would let me test it at my place to see if the ground loop persisted (before I would potentially buy it). Unfortunately I am experiencing the same issues with the Parasound as with the Classé (this was from very quick...

    Outdoor Speaker Setup with landscape lighting wire

    Older AVR vs. New Integrated Amp

    ...spend thousands to make it more than a lateral move, sound quality wise . I instead play with amp kits and some of the Chi-fi amps and smaller speakers to cure the shopping urge and while tippy toeing my way into class D. Alternative systems for portable use and other amusing setups in other...

    Monoblock amplifiers

    I like the specs of this amp. honest opinion guys... do you think it's worth me returning my Anthem Str, which is still within the return period, And getting the Apollon 9040? Esp., due to it being class D??

    How are primare amps?

    ...IMO, except in some relative rare applications, it could be silly to go for such 16 channel power amps rated the same for all channels, I would much prefer using multiple small amps such as many Hypex or Purifi based class D amps that have been proven effective and reliable over the years.

    Looking for Amplifier upgrade/add-on advice

    ...and 6 atmos speakers (8 channels if I decide to use only 1 center height channel for Auro 3D). How do you feel mixing Class AB amps with Class D amps? I am not interested in a super expensive amplifier since I will only need to drive the front wides and Atmos speakers, plus my Theater room...

I just can't left "heavy or budge heavy anymore. And I know the wife can't do it. So its book shelf speakers and a hunt for a Class D amp..

    ...have a HP @250 to blend in with the bass cab. Not seen are my DIY subs which use 2x12" subs in a force cancellation setup. To drive the subs I use a cigarette sized 24V Class D amp with a 15 amp power supply which is all controlled by a Velodyne SMS. And a pic of my favorite group from the 1960s
