Your receiver most likely does go down to 20Hz. The manufacturer rated 40Hz to 20kHz to give the illusion of more power since the power supply is a bit small to get that power rating at full bandwidth.

Quad Shield RG6 will work very well for audio or video. In fact I am prewiring much of my new home with this cable. For video you need a cable with good shielding and 75 ohm characterstic impedance and this is what you will get with FRG6 or Quad Shield RG6.

What no Booze? Come on people, everybody knows better sound through litigation always triumphs ;)

You don't necessarily need a speaker that will play down to 20Hz. What a semi fullrange speaker like an M80 can do is integrate seemlessly with a sub, usually better than a simple 2 way bookshelf speaker. You can still take advantage of the Z9 amps with the speakers set to small. You will be...

You will be fine. My advice to you is try setting all speakers to small, crossover at 60Hz and let the sub do all the bass work. This will increase dynamics by saving amp power and may prove to be easier to integrate your sub with the rest of the system. You can always set the mains to large...

The Yamaha RX-Z9 is one of the most powerful receivers on the market and will have no problems driving moderately sensitive 4 ohm speaker. Take a look at our power measurements for the RX-Z9 and you will see it is a true powerhouse as far as receivers go. When determining if a speaker will...

That s funny. Wonder if you can make coffee with it as well ;)

Libor; Your claims are questionable. Some amps run hot to the touch at idle, such as my Aragon 8008 series. Are you saying they wont drive 4 ohms b/c they run hot? Its how the heat is dissipated and if the product is designed to handle it is what matters. Many people here, including our...

There is a reason why the Yammie amp had such low output in 5/7 channels test mode and the reason is in the following article: The All Channels Driven Test Controversy

Bryce; I sent you a PM.

Given the options you listed, I would stick with the DSP-A1. Although it lacks PLIIx and DTS 96/24, it more than makes up for it in fidelity, smoothness and amplifier power. Its a great machine and I miss the one I sold 4 years ago :(

This is bad advice, which I assume was meant as a joke. The Receiver will shut down long before it will overheat or be overdriven enough to present a safety issue and most likely long before it goes into heavy clipping. The M80ti's should run fine with this receiver. Clint used these...

One entry per contest. Multiple entries will be eliminated and the violator will be terminated from the contest for that month.

Yes those little black boxes certainly can do something or nothing depending on whats in them. Some companies simply slap a black box on with nothing in them, other put filter networks in to limit the bandwidth of the cable (NOT a good idea) or zobels on the speaker end in hopes to restore...

Realize that most loudspeaker and other consumer audio manufacturers for that matter wont be totally upfront about cables, because they want to keep their dealers happy. Dealers make a killing on exotic cables, some more than others. Biwiring offers very little from a performance/technical...
