    Power Conditioners- Mega Snake Oil??

    <font color='#000000'>Good thread.I'm taking notes. &nbsp;thA, &nbsp;If I may make some suggestions, I would run at least 2 home runs of power back to your breaker box,dedicated solely for A/V equipment,with their own breakers. Also a run of some 3 or 4 pair CAT-5 phone wire,some quality...

    How to make a RX-V2400 in to a Z9...

    <font color='#000000'>I have been pondering the same idea for the future. I have a Yamaha 3300 &amp; am considering Axiom m60's(or 80's) in the near future. I am wondering,if I buy a couple monoblocks for the mains,am I wasting the power of the 3300,or will it serve my surrounds &amp; center...

    <font color='#000000'>Up in the area I live (30 miles N of Seattle),the best hifi store we have is called Magnolia A/V. They happen to carry almost all the brand names you mentioned in your original post. They have the 507 on sale for $2999(floor model). Like I said,I'd take it over the...

    <font color='#000000'>I've been drooling over a B&amp;K 507 that's on sale for $3K. If I could afford it,I'd buy it over any other flagship.Actually,I can afford it but it would mean no vacation this year. &nbsp;Pat,any chance your finding this @ Magnolia?</font>

    Yamaha HTR 5590

    <font color='#000000'>The Yamaha HTR series is not in the same class, power-wise, as the RX-V series. The power is rated differently. The HTR is a notch below,hence the price difference.</font>

    <font color='#000000'>My reasoning is similar to others'. 3 years ago,when I went shopping, I was able to compare the Denon, Yamaha, &amp; Sony(ES too) with each other through the same sets of speakers. It came down to Denon &amp; Yamaha(Sony sounded,well, kind of phony).Then the price...

    Energy C9 vs Axiom M80ti

    <font color='#000000'>I've got a pr of Boston V950's being driven by a Yamaha 3300(130wpc) &amp; I would not recommend them.Granted,these are not Bostons' top of the line but they are O.K. at best. My mistake was buying towers with such small bass drivers(I think they're 5 1/4 inches each)...

    Realistic Bookshelf

    <font color='#000000'>If these are the old Radio shack jobs you're right. They sound pretty good.But they won't last long in a garage or a place where they will be exposed to any moisture. I had 4 of them,with 2 of them being mounted in my Camaro. They started getting noisy so I replaced them...

    Lyrics that you think are great.

    <font color='#000000'>Pink Floyds' &quot;Time&quot;. Not surprisingly,the older I get the more powerful these lyrics &amp; music become. It is a subtle,sadistic reminder of how temporary our existence is as individuals. Heed the message within.</font>

    Lyrics that you think suck

    rx-v3300 vs 2400 power

    <font color='#000000'>In this case I believe it does. Two units in virtually the same sized chassis,from the same manufacturer,only 1 year apart............12 lbs. is a huge difference. I finally gave this thing a serious test drive &amp; .......WHOA!. While I'm not sure that it has an honest...

    <font color='#000000'>Living north of Seattle,my buddies &amp; I used to drive up to Vancouver when the drinking age was 19(is it still?).There was a place called Outlaws that had a band upstairs &amp; a band downstairs.One of the coolest places I'd ever been to. We quickly learned about the...

    What was your earliest musical memory?

    Worst Period In Rock/Pop Music History???

    Worst Period In Rock/Pop Music History???

    <font color='#000000'>Attaboy Rob. There's nothing wrong with having music for every mood. But when I head out to the highway,I gotta rock. I would be remiss if I didn't mention RJ Dio &amp; The Stone Temple Pilots. I also just found the CD &quot;Hang on for your life&quot; by Shooting Star...
