I thought I'd pop in since there were some interesting suggestions here, although not all were very accurate. You cannot simply measure the output at the speaker terminals unloaded. This will get you close to the rail voltage, but not any indication of true power rating. The very...

It depends on your situation. I did a system for my Uncle in a 50ft room who likes to throw loud parties, Colombian style if you know what I mean, and adding the Emo amp was a must in this scenario. Considering you get 7 channels of amplification for just a bit more money than one would...

The AVR-4806 is meant as the direct replacement to the AVR-5803, though the amp section of the 4806 isn't quite as beefy as the older 5803, it does have a more impressive feature set such as Audyssey, HDMI/DVI, etc. The 5805 is in its own category as a multi distribution surround solution...

Unfortunately the RX-V4600 wont upconvert analog video signals to HDMI. You also have to use HDCP compliant components with the RX-V4600 which usually all consumer video gear is, except computer monitors. FYI; The RX-V4600 is HDMI Ver 1.1 which means it will pass all multi channel audio...

The RXV1500 would also serve well, I just like some of the added features of the 2500 but they would both work excellently as pre/pros.

The AVR-5805 is a bit tedious to set up which is why I went through great lengths discussing setup tips in my review for the benefit of consumers and certified installers. Setup properly the 5805 delivers unprecedented performance for music and movies but it does require some patience and...

The 3805 will also work as well, though I feel the 2500 preamp section is a tad less noisey which may or may not be an audible issue depending on the sensitivity of your speakers and their proximity to the listening position. If your speakers are under 92dB SPL @ 1 watt/meter and the rears are...

Not yet, Denon has been running in caterpillar mode (reference Hunt for Red October) for the past couple of weeks. I will be meeting with them in July at a press conference and will re-inquire then.

Doubling the power will buy you 3dB more headroom but there are other benefits to a separate amp over a receiver is some cases. When driving a low impedance, highly reactive speaker load, a separate amp will usually have lower output impedance since it has more output devices, thus suffer less...

The preamp section of the Yamaha is ultra clean and has enough drive to allow the MPS-1 to hit maximum levels unclipped and undistorted. I just like the way this combo sounds. Very clean, powerful, and dynamic.

Folks; We are seeing a lot of emails from people asking for a good inexpensive separates solution which prompted me to make a recommendation I am very confident is hard to beat for the money. 1) Yamaha RX-V2500 used as a Pre/Pro $1100 2) Emotiva MPS-1 7CH Power amp $2000...

the advantage of passive biamping your receiver to your mains is a bit more control for the bass drivers since they are being fed a separate amp. You really aren't gaining more SPL overall as much as a bit more control. My point was if you wanted to triamp, it would require another 2 amps from...

Dont triamp your speakers off of the 3805. Its a complete waste and I am uncertain if it can even be done. Besides if for arguments sake it could, you would now be using 6 amps for 2 speakers leaving you with only one amp to power the center channel and nothing for the rears. My advice is to...

Thanks for pointing that out. I added a comment about the finishes at the end of page 5 in the review. I assumed the safety approvals were a given. In any event, the backpanel of the EP500/600 have SA and CE marks and complies with Part 15 of the FCC. Perhaps we should start listing...

The M80's wont be a problem for the RX-V4600. I would experiment with large/small setting to get the best splice with your subwoofer(s).

Guys I wish I had more time to contribute to this thread, but I am preparing for some travels to cool companies which I will be writing articles on shortly ;) I just wanted to point out a couple of things: 1) The S&V as well as most magazine power tests are usually conducted with the line...
