At first you claim you will expand the system to 7.2 which implies 2 powered subs. But later you claim you won't be adding a sub? I'm a bit confused here. If you don't plan on adding a sub, you will want a speaker with better bass capability. Check out options from James Loudspeakers, Def...

You can try 2 things: Set the speakers large and the bass setting to "both". This will give you fullrange to the towers and sub active in 2CH but can also give you too much bass below the crossover frequency. This can be a good thing in large rooms and/or can be tamed with an EQ. You should...

Sloppy peer reviewing on my part. Thanks Dennis. It appears the xover pt for the bookshelf and tower is the same (2500Hz).

I recently used poor judgement uploading an Axiom V4 Loudspeaker Preview in this old thread so I have moved that to a new thread.

Sonus Faber has announced their newest Chameleon Speaker Collection Series. This new series has been designed for both stereo and multi-channel applications and consists of three models: Chameleon T (floorstanding), standmount speaker Chameleon B (bookshelf), and the Chameleon C (center). The...

Fidue has pulled out all the stops to launch their new A73 in-ear headphones. Combining futuristic designs and a well-rounded sound, the A73s sport a hybrid driver configuration with a single dynamic driver and 2 balanced armature ones. The model departs from its predecessor, the A71, in various...

Powered towers are a diff scenario. I usually recommend setting them Large since the mid/tweet already has a built in XOVER. Then also connect the sub out of the AVR to the LFE in of both towers. Set bass to "sub only" NOT Both. This will allow bass/lfe level control for movies and add...

If the T2 sat is going below the screen, the tweeters should be at the top. Reorient so the speaker has a smiley face :)

It will be announced at CEDIA. It's supposed to have significant more processing power than their new flagship 3050 receiver. We shall see.

A short comparison of specs from V1 to V4 Axiom Subwoofers: http://www.audioholics.com/subwoofer-reviews/axiom-audio-ep500-and-ep-600-v4 NO CEA data but their published measurement data on V4 products appears to have slightly less output than the original V1s that we tested.

Uh oh. Where is your DSP-A1 going? Is it time to sell it?

Yamaha has updated the top 3 AV receivers in their Aventage line, namely the RX-A1050, RX-A2050, and RX-A3050. These babies are packed with the latest in HDMI 2.0 with HDCP 2.2 support, immersive audio like Dolby Atmos and considering that prior entries in this series have been some of our tops...

As others have pointed out, not much. You can try it if you want but make sure you match the gains. Polarity really shouldn't be an issue. I've never measured an amp that inverts the outputs.

I don't know of any modern power amplifiers that flip phase from input to output. But I suppose anything is possible, especially in high end audio :)

Do you need to match your amplifier power to your loudspeaker power ratings? Can too much or too little power damage your speakers? In this article clipping, impedance, heat, sensitivity, blown drivers, and other annoying mysteries are discussed from the perspective and real-world experiences...

This is very sad news indeed. Ironically I just watched Avatar with the family last night. A great composer has been lost but his work is timeless and will NOT be forgotten.

Well your speakers will typically suck more power in the bass than the mids/highs so it could benefit you. However, you need to make sure the voltage gain of both amps is similar or adjust accordingly, or you won't properly match the levels.
