    Logic and Alan Dershowitz

    Logic and Dershowitz should NEVER be used in the same sentence unless the word "NOT" is between them.

    Pre-out voltage output

    Any mode that allows you to re-route the front channels to other speaker locations will disconnect the preamp from power amp for the front channels.

    Freakin' Florida Audio, eh?

    Kimber cable prices are pretty insane but I actually measured their cables and they do measure better than 10AWG and also don't have their website littered with snake oil. Personally I see no reason why RBH uses their cable other than marketing but hey it's included in the system so.... In my...

    Pre-out voltage output

    2V (at 0dB playback) is a reference for digital fullscale, NOT the max output of the preout of the receiver. Denon AVR's typically can do about 4Vrms output unclipped. The 3600H has a unique feature that you can reroute the main amps to the surround back and have a true preamp disconnect for...
