    Adding a Power AMP to a Denon AVR 3805

    Get yourself a Behringer A500 amp. Torroidial transformer. Convection cooling (ie, no fan) and just sounds great. 150w@8 ohm stereo. Would be THX Ultra certified probably if they wanted to.

    Please help Yamaha RX-V661 or Pioneer VSX 1017TXV-K

    In fact, in most cases, the THX modes will roll off treble at reasonable levels. IMO, the only time THX modes are handy are in reference levels.

    Movies In DTS Master Audio & True HD

    Of course, the untouchable track is still Blackhawk Down on Blu-ray. That PCM track is mixed so hot and the speakers are so active that you forget you're in your living room.

    LCD Projector, green top left, red bottom right?

    That's a dust blob. Clean your projector.

    New receiver for boxing day specials

    The 6090 is the RX V1700. So it's a step above the 861.

    Every Fox Blu-ray has 24bit DTS Master tracks. So that's a lot to list.

    Yamaha or Denon

    The best sound upgrade will be an HDMI receiver for those Master PCM tracks of Blu-ray. Holy crap! How have you been able to run those monster Polks with the teensy weensy V1500? If you're unwilling to spend a lot of money on a top tier receiver, then get something like the Yamaha V661 and...

    500 Watts a channel @ 8 Ohm Bridged

    Oh, I didn't know L&M were Behringer dealers. They're closeby and have a 30 days return policy. This is great as it would allow me to try it out in my own system. In a way, I'm afraid of going there as I've given up on Guitar and seeing all the new stuff is going to be difficult on the wallet.

    Denon AVR-3806 840 Watts + 3.5" Touch GPS navigation $600

    David, or anyone who owns the 3806 and a PS3. Can you confirm if the 3806 can pass 1080p24hz? I'm very interested.

    500 Watts a channel @ 8 Ohm Bridged

    Is there are particular retailer you guys would suggest? I'm gonna have to have it delivered to Canada. I tried finding Canadian dealers and had no luck.

    500 Watts a channel @ 8 Ohm Bridged

    Oh really! Perfect. Because in that review above it says you can't. My Canara 4S11 wires are all terminated with bananas so that's pretty important. Also, I noticed someone had an all black A500, with black volume knobs. Is there a particular retailer that sells them?

    500 Watts a channel @ 8 Ohm Bridged

    I'm thinking about getting the Behringer A500 to match my Yamaha 6060. Can you use Banana Plugs on it?

    500 Watts a channel @ 8 Ohm Bridged

    Can you turn the Behringers on automatically, or have to flick the switch on each unit everytime?

    Yamaha P2201 power amplifier

    Any updates on the amp? How are you liking it so far? Also, is the sound more laid back or in your face (bassy).

    Rough cost of amplifier repair?

    Thanks guys. I'll stay away from that one. I was secrectly wishing about getting the Emotiva LPA-1, which I may hold off for the time being and get it once I replace my Yamaha with possibly a HDMI 1.3 Pre/processor next year.

    Rough cost of amplifier repair?

    I'm actually thinking about going fully separate. I don't want to part with my Yamaha 6060 at the moment. I am fine with the preamp, but the amp section is terrible. The soundstage feels like it's behind my speakers. I was thinking about adding a 2ch poweramp to the fronts, and use the...

    Rough cost of amplifier repair?

    I'm looking at this 2ch amplifier. If you read the description, it appears to blow the fuse. I got this email from the seller. "The amp runs fine on the left side. Blows 8 amp fuse on the right. Cause? Don't know! Cost? Don't know! Now my guess on this- defective power amplifier...

    Audiosource Amp 100 for driving surrounds.

    oooo crap... Certainly don't want that. I liked the idea of the signal sensing auto on, and it seems to have good power in bridged mode if I wanted to run my fronts.

    Audiosource Amp 100 for driving surrounds.

    I have a question. Does anyone here use any Audiosource amps? The Amp 100 looks like a lowered powered knockoff of the outlaw monoblocks. If I'm driving Energy Dipoles, would 2 of these warrant an upgrade for surround? Also, I read somewhere that these have auto signal sensing technology...
