    Onkyo TX-RZ70 11.2CH AV Receiver - Official Support Thread

    Amir discovered nothing new. I wrote a report of the DRX 4.3 5 years ago and came to the same conclusion that the lower end Integra/Onkyo AVRs aren't well suited for 4 ohm speakers and the low power mode tripped by protection doesn't reset unless you unplug the AVR. see...

    Two Anthem STR amp failures within 1 year

    When I ran my 8Ts in my old theater room, I sat about 15ft from them. I drove them extremely hard since I also had LFE routed to them for multi-channel. The STR never failed me. I drove those speakers with various amps including the Emotiva XPR-1s, Pass Labs X350.5 and Classe CT-2300. Classe was...

    RBH Sound 61-SFM/R Tower Speaker Review

    Again you made assumptions without knowing all of the facts or considering the application of the design. This is a dangerous thing to do in any field of discipline, especially when it comes to audio. I spoke to Shane Rich from RBH Sound who is an extremely seasoned and competent loudspeaker...

    Two Anthem STR amp failures within 1 year

    something is not right here. Perhaps your amps are lacking proper ventilation or your line sag is so drastic that the current demand on the amp is intense due to line voltage sag? I successfully used the Anthem STR power amp to drive my Status Acoustics 8T speakers for years in a 6,500 ft^3...

    RBH Sound 61-SFM/R Tower Speaker Review

    I don't think this is a fair assessment at all and I Think you missed the point of this product. It's designed as a 2CH solution for those that can't place subs at separate locations in their room. RBH did NOT Intend this to be a fullrange speaker that people would also add separate powered...

    Insomnia !!!

    I take low doses of Trazadone, Clonazepam, and Melatonin nightly just so I can stay asleep 5 or maybe 6 hours on a good night. I feel for you. Best advice, wind down, make sure your room is cold and dark, use white noise or rain sounds to sooth you to sleep. Pray or fill your mind with positive...

    Onkyo TX-RZ70 11.2CH AV Receiver - Official Support Thread

    I will inquire with Onkyo. If this happens on the RZ70, perhaps they can do a FW fix or App note to let users know how 5.1 is handled with surround speakers.

    New Line up of AV Receivers from JBL

    It's definitely a 2CH rating as it states in their specs. It claims 900 watts max power consumption so if it was truly 140x9 ACD, it would have to consume > 1400 watts (assuming 90% efficiency). It's probably closer to 80-90wpc x 9 ACD which is still pretty good.
