The sub will still get whatever signal the receiver is sending it but the input to the sub will be about 6dB lower than it would if you had a y-splitter going into the sub. Some manufacturers recommend the y-splitter to increase the input gain at the sub since it sums the L + R inputs. In most...

Good point. I have added that into the article with illustrations. I hope this helps.

Very interesting analogy. I was good friends with one of the founders of Acurus/Aragon (Tony Federici) who sadly passed away a few years ago. He was a straight up guy that despised BS and nonsense and was interested only in offering quality products without the fluff. Dan Laufman from Emotiva...

The monster is likely 12AWG so it will work just fine. You don't have to match wire gauge, just use 12AWG or less and you will be ok.

Don't use 18AWG speaker cable. You have all of this nice equipment, why skimp on a few bucks? Get some decent 10 or 12AWG cables and you will be good to go.

That's a real good question and one I brought up with the MB Quart rep. The speakers look very nice and we are eager to review them but IMO their subs are priced so far out of the market for the USA that they will be a tough sale.

Pizza and wings, :rolleyes: You need to goto a superbowl party hosted by Colombians. We are talking 20 course meals, giant pots of soup that has been cooking all day long, lots of liquor and plenty of beautiful women. Though, there isn't much football watching at these events which is fine...

Are you saying you want to run only LCR's but no surrounds at all or you already have surrounds that you wish to use with these? It depends on what speakers you already have but as long as you add at least 1 sub, you will achieve satisfactory sound. Two subs, properly placed will of course...

Yes a gentleman named AJ Korangy in Buffalo NY.

In that price range, the Axiom M3s or the Infinity Beta 20s would likely be your best bets.

Both receivers are great in this category. But, I'd lean a bit towards the Denon just b/c of the Audyssey correction system which can make a significant difference in your setup. Check my review of the AVR-2308CI as a reference. That being said the Onkyo TX-SR805 is another top contender...

We also have Infinity and EMP (division of RBH Sound). We of course will be adding more brands as well as working with companies on customized lines exclusive for our store. This is just the beginning, and a very good one at that with nearly 2000 skus right from the start!

Just watch out for strand jumping :)

The Z-11 just started shipping and I am one of the first in the USA to receive a sample which I currently have under review. Since I take a bit longer than the print mags to do a review as my reviews are more than just repackaged press releases, I won't have the review published until early...

Yes it was a Yamaha RV-1105 one of the first DD/DTS receivers which still performs quite admirably but is only 5 channel and has no room correction or even component video switching. That receiver has since then been handed down to one of my brothers where he is finally enjoying the wonders of...

Those are not output devices for the power amp. They are likely used for power regulation somewhere in the receiver. All of the amplifier output devices are on the bottom of the heatsink. I checked it several times and noted different part #s for those 4 devices at the top of the heatsink as...

The list is based solely on stuff we reviewed or have first hand experience with. This is how we do the POY awards every year.
