    20 amp or 15 amp power conditioner, and XLR or RCA

    Full agreed. In addition to the standard outlets every 6ft, at least according to Florida electrical code, I ran 2 dedicated 20A outlets to each home theater for future expandability. In my main theater room I have one APC S15 running half my system plugged into one dedicated line and the...

    20 amp or 15 amp power conditioner, and XLR or RCA

    That is sort of a trick question. Don't go solely by an amp rating for a power conditioner. It depends on what voltage it was rated at. For example, APC rates their conditioners at 120V, 12A = 1,440VA. They will work as low as 90V and sustain over 15A of current in that condition. My...

    Onix x-ls Bookshelf Loudspeaker Review

    If I am not mistaken, the NRC does their measurements in an anechoic chamber. Mark esentially mimicked an anechoic response in his room by doing a combination of nearfield measurements and scaling them appropriately to get the right output. This will be part of our new loudspeaker measurement...

    Power cord upgrade for AMP???

    I understand it wasn't you that did it. Find out the gauge of the cord (ie. 12 or 14 AWG) and buy an OEM replacement. Even Home Depot will do.

    Power cord upgrade for AMP???

    NO! I can't believe consumers sometimes. You lifted the safety ground. If you build up any static electricity and touch the chassis, you can get shocked which can be fatal to a little one. Replace that cord immediately with a 3 prong one, especially if the manufacturer warrants it use for...

    Power cord upgrade for AMP???

    NO. Use the stock power cord and replace it only if it is broken or not long enough for your application. If you replace it, make sure you use the same gauge cord or lower. Thats it!

    Where's the Earthquake Amp fire thread?

    He has been banned and in the future we will pre-qualify people's complaints before getting involved again. Lesson learned.

    Where's the Earthquake Amp fire thread?

    No its called misrepresentation by the person who started the thread. It turned out he bought a used unit, shipped it over seas, modified it and then it caught fire. We didn't hear all the facts correctly from him. Now that we know both sides of the story, the situation is closed.

    Audioholics Showcase Home - First Look

    Too big, it has to be 52" or less. Samsung expressed an interest in sending their new 50" 1080p DLP display. I am looking into what is available from other manufacturers before I commit.

    Onix x-ls Bookshelf Loudspeaker Review

    These were not prototypes. They were first production runs. Without knowing the conditions AV123 made their measurement, we cannot comment on the 5Hz difference with ours. Either way, you need a sub with these speakers and I would personally cross them over at 80Hz.

    Audioholics Showcase Home - First Look

    Update: Due to the poor reliability issues I have been facing with the new Mitsubishi WD-52628, and the inability for them to resolve it in a timely manner, I am currently looking for an alternative Display for System 2 of the Audioholics Showcase. Stay tuned...

    Audioholics $75K Recommended Home Theater System

    that isn't a bad system though IMO the Meridian are no match for the RBH speakers and I would pick the Denon AVR-5805 over the Meridian gear for a variety of reasons. In addition, yout proposed system doesn't cater to a whole house solution with speakers in every room and requires more...

    Onix x-ls Bookshelf Loudspeaker Review

    It's silly to think the average person buying speakers would be able to buy enough units to get price breaks like you mention. The point of the comment was to show how much $$$ are actually in the product as opposed to most speakers that have higher profit margins and lesser components at this...
