Yes using identical cables for biwiring: capacitance will be 2 x Inductance will be 1/2 to 1/4 depending on coupling resistance will be 1/2 So now you run the risk of running a highly capacitive cable when biwired and causing an amp instability :D

John; I don't argue your math, just your premise. Follow me on these points please: 1. You will NEVER have the same current draw on the tweet as you will the woof. More likely it will be a 1:10 (tweet:woof) ratio. Thus your assumptions about equal current to both wires is leading to a...

John; You are still assuming equal current magnitudes to HP and LP portions of the speaker. This doesn't happen. You also assume purely resistive loading (for simplicity) but this does affect power dissipation estimates and in this case I believe you scenario makes them worse off than...

Acoustics in Large vs Small rooms are completely different animals. You don't follow the same rules for both. The same applies for equipment usage as well. I forgot you deal mostly in large venues for sound reinforcement and don't delve much into the home theater realm.

John; It's more expensive and space consuming to run biwire pairs of equal gauge vs mono wire of 3AWG lower than the biwire pair. It's also way more practical to run a single wire to each speaker, especially surrounds. Regarding my last comment about folding back to the amp, I was...

All; My review is completed and in peer review as we speak. This should go live by middle of next week! Stay tuned...

Regardless of what "Errors" a mono wire make compared to biwire, the error translates back to one common amp and gets washed out. John, until you can actually prove audibility and show real world measurable differences in an actual system (real amp + real cable + real speakers), I maintain...

John; you respond quicker than I can make edits after I post. I went back and read your post and then edited mine accordingly. Please re-read my prior post and discuss audibility. thanks.

John; Rather than using a pair of 12AWG cables for biwiring, use a 9AWG single cable and call it a day :) PS. Just to be clear, this isn't steady state power loss. As you know, music is peaky in nature, NOT continuous. You're lucky if you are dissipating more than 3-4 watts in a speaker...

Cool was the write up favorable about Audyssey / our review?

There is a measurable difference in loop resistance (lower) and reactance (higher) seen at the amp. Audibility is another story however. I will leave the star trek physics to Jneutron for now as we are still waiting for his epiphany on the wonders of exotic cables, cryo freezing and...

Its actually Pat Metheny and John Scofield and I still use that as a reference recording. What a great REAL jazz CD. Thanks for your forum post and support. For more Jazz fun, check out some discs from Weather Report, Pat Metheny Group, and if you have SACD, Patricia Barber from...

The RBH 6100-SE is located just behind the acoustically transparent screen.

The preamp of the 5805 has plenty of drive to parallel its outputs to 2 amps. Just select a "Better" amp than the 5805 when doing this. The 5805 has a very good, low noise amp section so be careful when choosing a replacement amp since you may actually wind up downgrading performance for more...

I haven't had this problem and I am using HDMI to pass DVD-A and DD+ via a Toshiba HD DVD player. I am nearly 20 pages (Word document) into this review, will it ever end :eek:

Why would you want the pre outs replicated? Use the stereo pair fed into your 4CH amp via a Y-cable for each channel pair.

Well that would involve a different front baffle and likely model# (which I don't see on their site), so buyers should be mindful when decided to buy this version if used as main channels oriented vertically.

The SVS center is designed specifically to reduce horizontal off axis lobing which is why the tweeter is placed towards the top of the cabinet and the drivers are more closely spaced. I would caution using this speaker in a vertical configuration as it is not the typical D'Appolito driver...
