<font color='#000000'>Hi Bruce; The Denon has 1.2kVA , 66kuF of power supply capacitance. &nbsp;BTW, my speakers dip down to 3.5 ohms and 90dB SPL efficiency yet the 5803 drives them quite well. &nbsp;I also have an Klipagon 3CH power amp with 2KVa , 150kuF as a reference. &nbsp;I believe your...

<font color='#000000'>Peter; Sounds like the dealer is trying to sell you another amp. &nbsp;I am using the Denon AVR 5803 to power all of my 4ohm reference speakers to ear bleeding levels in a 20' x 18' room. The truth is, for low efficient, low impedance speakers, you may need an amp that...

<font color='#000000'>Bruce; No argument there. &nbsp;I had quite a time balancing my large main speakers with my sub in an asymmetrical room such as mine. &nbsp;I could not eliminate all of the major suckouts without all three units producing bass. Here is the major problem, lyou cant see it...

<font color='#000000'>Actually Bruce I think Dr. Floyd Toole may disagree with you. &nbsp;I had a personal conversation with him recently where he told me he was using 4 subwoofers in his home theater room which provided the flattest response in his room as opposed to just one centrally located...

<font color='#000000'>Ladies/Gentlemen; As President of Audioholics.com, I would like to apologize if our most recent review of the Sunfire III has caused any offense to owners, or prospective buyers.  While it is obvious we were quite displeased with its value and performance for a variety of...

<font color='#000000'>While I have never been impressed with the common Infinity product sold at Circuit City, I have heard good things about their higher end products, especially since Floyd Toole was involved in their development. &nbsp;I have recently received a good contact for Harman Inc...

<font color='#000000'>Jaebus; The positive things about your speakers are: 1) Brand Recognition 2) High Wife Acceptance Factor (WAF) 3) Good resale value I suspect if you post a listing for your speakers on a few audio classifieds you will sell them with no problem. You can then take that...

<font color='#000000'>Brent; The Ultimate Receiver is based off of the Grand III and their digital amp. &nbsp;IMO you are definately better off with the B&amp;K receiver which utilizes Class A preamp and Class A/B power amp, and has superior bass management, THX certification, and more flexible...

<font color='#000000'>Those Rotel receivers appear to have quite a meaty amp. &nbsp; One of my first experiences with high end audio many years ago was with a 2CH Rotel amp . I was astonished by how much better my system sounded when I preamp outed my old Pioneer receiver in favor of the Rotel...

<font color='#000000'>Using pro amps in home audio is usually not a good idea since the SNR of these monster power amps is usually considerably higher. &nbsp;Most of the time the average power consumption in a home audio system is only a few watts or so, and this is why you want an amp with a...

<font color='#000000'>Rob; The DAC's were not changed, the audio op amps were however and I provided objective analysis of old vs new to show their benefits. &nbsp;As for the capacitor changes, I cannot comment on what percentage that increased player performance since I don't really know what...

<font color='#000000'>I explicitely stated I did not have a stock player to compare it to. &nbsp;However, I compared it to my more costly Sony ES player and felt beforehand my ES player sounded better and after the mod, the CE775 sounded better. &nbsp;I never claimed the build quality of this...

<font color='#000000'>PDS; Your concerns are valid and argument interesting. &nbsp;I agree partially. &nbsp;If two different amplifiers are well designed, low noise, ample power supply and output devices to source large amounts of current for low impedance loads, flat frequency response within...

<font color='#000000'>SinCityDave; It is doubtful if we request product from Klipsch to review through their current Public Relations Manager (Joshua Ryan Hall) that they will accommodate us. &nbsp;It took them over 1 year to NOT deliver us a Stage One even when we were paying customers and...

<font color='#000000'>Mustange_Steve/Others; I appreciate the type of face off review on receivers you wish us to write. &nbsp;Perhaps in the future this will become possible. &nbsp;However, we have a lot on our plate for the moment. I wish to clear up a common misconception I continually hear...

<font color='#000000'>Robert; The Monster Navajo we tested measured around 12AWG. &nbsp;I am not sure if they have different versions of that wire, but it was as physically thick as other 12AWG wires we measured. &nbsp;You may wish to check with Monstercable before purchasing.</font>

<font color='#000000'>Despite many of the myths surrounding speaker cables and length, they DO NOT have to be equal length. &nbsp;It is important to keep them as short as possible, but there are very little electrical differences between say 10 vs 20 ft of 12AWG wire. &nbsp;Transmission line...

<font color='#000000'>Bob; Parasound is sending us their latest processor. &nbsp;I should have it in a few weeks. &nbsp;I will give you the quick skinny on it when I have it all hooked up. &nbsp;We have a bit more time on our hands to review processors since we sent back the disappointing...

<font color='#000000'>Bob; I am not sure that I agree with you that Krell is superior to all. &nbsp;Their last pre/pro was a joke IMO. &nbsp;It had a less sophisticated processing section than most midfi receivers, yet it sold for over $4K and was wrapped in a very pretty box. &nbsp;Take a look...

<font color='#000000'>Dave; Thanks for your feedback. &nbsp;I am not trying to recommend people to NOT biwire. &nbsp;However, I believe it would be more effective to spend the extra money on a quality set of speaker cables rather than a lesser set of cables in biwire configuration. &nbsp;Many...
