Yamaha CX-A5000 & MX-A5000 Video Review Hey guys, we just shot this video review as a teaser to our formal written review which will publish in about two weeks. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lsWB0SrXwKs

Clint DeBoer is having a system shipped to him for review so we will see how it performs soon enough.

The electrical connection the amplifier sees in a bi-wire situation is virtually identical to a single wire connection since the amp side gets both sets of wires connected back to it. If back EMF was an issue in a single wire connection, it would still be an issue in a bi-wire connection too...

He is talking about back EMF into the amp. Not really an issue. Personally I do like passive bi-amping in some cases. Back in the day I used to biamp with my Denon 5805 for my front towers. That receiver had a ton of reserve and it helped to drive my towers better than the single amp...

Of course dampening is critical element that should be applied into a loudspeaker cabinet but it doesn't negate the benefits of starting out with a stiffer cabinet to begin with. More info on that here: Loudspeaker Cabinet Bracing: A Detailed Look on Do's and Dont's | Audioholics

We have another video on interconnects that's about 5 min long. I honestly could have went on 30 min more with more myths and such but I felt this video was a bit too long already at almost 15 min. Shockingly it's received >800 views and 29 thumbs up on youtube the first day! We will get our...

Part of the reason for the multiple herniated discs I have in my back are from lifting PAss Lab hefty amps up 2 flights of steps by myself b/c I'm too impatient to wait for help. I've learned a little since then. WAit till you see my review of a 7lbs Class D monoblock that posts next week ;)

Agreed 100% and thanks for adding this to the discussion. I do like the heavier gauge receptacles with the little slit to accommodate 20A plugs only b/c they can make a more firm connection to the wall.

THX man. Hugo and I are planning many videos / articles like this. Very informal, non scripted conversation videos that I then frame into an article on the site. Hopefully the manufacturers won't get too pissed off at us ;)

thx but my years of squatting 500lbs and weighiing 230lb are over. Getting 4 recent epidoral shots in my back just so I can get out of bed in the morning has humbled me. I am now a lean 190 lbs with abs as hard as a table top to keep me from going under the knife. Next video I will sit up...

I think they fixed it, try again, thx Adam.

I typically never recommend using the "4 ohm" setting on an AV receiver. Here is why: Setting the A/V Receiver Impedance Selector Switch | Audioholics

If money were no object, I'd choose Boulder Amps ;)

Agreed I don't know anyone one using caps in the signal path in amps anymore. In fact, when I was doing my senior level design project for my undergrad, my teacher made me design a level shifting circuit as he wouldn't allow me to use a blocking cap :)
