    Um, not quite. Check out this old thread on the very same topic: Denon 5805 Not a PowerHouse also, please read the thread about ALL CHANNELS DRIVEN and the problems with that specification

    Your Favorite Steely Dan Album?

    Every Steely Dan / Donald Fagen album is a treasure! Its hard to pick a favorite but Aja is certainly up there. I haven't heard the SACD version of Gaucho. Does it sound better than the DTS version?

    THE ALL CHANNELS DRIVEN FALLACY

    Again it deals mostly with sub/sat systems and actually lowering the pre conidtioning requirement for amplifiers since they were deemed too harsh: towards the end of the proposal, they very vaguely discuss multi channel amplifiers which I think they are still referring to sub/sat...

    THE ALL CHANNELS DRIVEN FALLACY

    First off its an FTC NOT FCC PROPOSAL NOT A RULING. Did you even bother to read it? This PROPOSAL deals mostly with sub/sat systems and computer speakers and how they should be rated. http://www.ftc.gov/os/1998/07/63FR37237.pdf If you don't see why the ALL CHANNELS DRIVEN test is a...

    Bowflex Users?

    Thats because a lot of powerlifters lift only very heavy, very low repetitions, with alot of rest and also don't watch their diet. One of the most effective ways to fat loss is heigh intensity weight training while keeping in your target heart rate zone for 30min to 1 hr. Both myself and Hugo...

    Another Damn Hurricane

    There is a lot of scientific data that supports this and a panel of 99 Nobel Prize winner scientists have already submitted papers on Global Warming to the White House. The problem is, our government, as well as other countries politicians are taking an approach of adaptation to Global Warming...

    Reference System 2

    Major; thanks for the link. I will look into this option. yes I ran 3" conduit for the projector and have a pull string to add more cable but right now it has 2 HDMI, Component Video, and 2 CAT5e runs. I dont envision needing more but you never know.

    Reference System 2

    oh and i forgot to mention 2 HDMI cables. Yea I was thinking about having them build a wooden frontpanel that protrudes slighly but also has ability to be readily opened incase I need to make changes or fix a faulty termination. In any event, my electrical subcontractor told me they could run...

    actually I am going with RBH's new Status line. My head is still spinning from the demo I had during my visit to them. In my family room system I am using RBH LSE products with the Axiom EP500 and in my bedroom system I am using all RBH MC inwalls, including subs. Outdoors in front will...

    THE ALL CHANNELS DRIVEN FALLACY

    T; If I had a dime for every mistake I have made, I have been able to retire before I became a teenager ;) Just realize that at price constraints of many of these receivers, heat sink area, power devices and power supplies are at a premium and design compromises are almost a certainty. In...

    Upgrading is quite an understatement. My builder is nearly complete on my new home which has over 10k feet of a/v cable run to support 3 complete home theater rooms, distributed home audio as well as front yard and back yard with subwoofers! Now i have to figure out how they will terminate...

    THE ALL CHANNELS DRIVEN FALLACY

    While I understand that is your belief, it is unfortunately untrue. The similar priced HK receivers are no more capable at driving 4 ohm speakers than Denon or Yamaha models. That being said, we have shown good results on mid-priced Yamaha and Denon receivers driving 4-ohm speakers of...

    Outlaw 755 Amplifier Review

    Actually their power measurements with 6 channels driven far exceed what an 1800watt circuit can provide. Notice they are using a VARIAC and even blew a fuse in it to run their test. I have a hard time believing their 6CH 4 ohm test of 320wpc. This is unlikely to be a continuous test...
