    Help with speaker wire

    I just ran 3,000ft of 10/2 Belden cable for my new Audioholics Showcase Home, which is one of the finest speaker cables on the market. However, given the choice to do it all over again, I would have went with 14/4 for pair redundancy purposes. 14/4 gives you an 11AWG equivalent resistance...

    High Instantaneous Current Amp Spec

    Well there kinda is. If an amp can nearly double its power when halving its impedance than its as close to an ideal voltage source as possible and certainly qualifies as a "high current" amplifier design. This is a big demand to place on receivers that very few other than flagships such as the...

    Denon 3805 and 4 ohm speakers

    Their tech person is likely saying this for liability purposes since the receiver doesn't have UL certification for 4 ohms or that dreaded impedance switch. Most reasonably efficient 4 ohm loads wont be a problem for this receiver. In this receiver's price class it has one of the most...

    Denon 3805 and 4 ohm speakers

    Hmm I don't see a post from a Denon tech anywhere in that thread. Oddly enough, Denon was using 4 ohm speakers in a demo they did on the 3805 when it first came out. Clint used 4 ohm speakers for nearly a year on the 3805 without any issues. You may wish to recheck your sources.

    Post Your Home Theater Here!

    nice setup but you should consider the following: moving the chairs that are blocking the front speakers. your side channels are in null of main listening position. I recommend moving them 2-3 feet behind the main listening position. you have very high ceilings, wood floors and very little...

    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...

    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.
