    I have a Yamaha rx-v667 receiver, do i need a external amp?

    Glad to hear it worked out. I felt the same way. After a few minutes and different playback types, I noticed a big difference.

    I have a Yamaha rx-v667 receiver, do i need a external amp?

    This is exactly what you need. It is an audio RCA connector as you mentioned but serves the same purpose. The Emotiva version is simply a more expensive split cable version. I bought the recommended cable from monoprice except a longer length. I have bought HDMI, RCA, and speaker cables as...

    I have a Yamaha rx-v667 receiver, do i need a external amp?

    I can understand the concern with the price difference. There is also more risk because the UPA-2 is not returnable due to the clearance pricing. However, I think you will be happy with the difference in sound. My AVR is has more WPC than yours and I still noticed a very appreciable...

    I have a Yamaha rx-v667 receiver, do i need a external amp?

    I recommend you add a two channel amp to your setup and here is why. I have a Pioneer Elite VSX-21THX AVR with 110 WPC (x7) on a 5.1 setup. I recently added an Emotiva UPA-2 amp to run my two front Klipsch RF-52s. The AVR is now only running my center (Klipsch RC-52) and surrounds (Klipsch...

    Emotiva UPA-2 Gain Level

    Thanks all for the suggestions. I have been working on the settings this morning and it sounds pretty good. I do have a follow on question. As I hooked up the Emotiva amp, I plugged it into a separate outlet due. The primary reason was convenience. However, I then thought about how much...

    Emotiva UPA-2 Gain Level

    I installing an Emotiva UPA-2 to drive my fronts on my 5.1 system. The other speakers will be driven by my Pioneer Elite VSX-21TXH receiver (rated at 110 watts per channel). Should I set the Emotiva’s gain level to the highest point and then use the AVR to adjust level for fronts to balance...

    Updated HT System Pics

    Thanks. I got it at Best Buy. I was one of the few retail models at a decent price point that could fit my center channel (Klipsch RC-52).

    Updated HT System Pics

    Thanks. Still amazed by the picture. So bright I had to turn down the back lighting. I had a Sony Bravia LCD 50". I was a nice TV but I had a chance to upgrade size and technology so I did.

    New Bluray Player vs. Using P3S Slim

    I am considering buying another Bluray player with the primary reason being my wife wants a Bluray player for the bedroom. I just bought a new Samsung TV for the front room where I have a Sony Bluray player (BDP-S360). So, I figure I can get new Samsung Bluray player for the front room so I can...

    Updated HT System Pics

    Added a new TV (Samsung 55" LED 6000 Series Smart TV) and DirecTV HD-DVR. Need to tweak the cables a bit to hide better but this new TV is awesome. And the HD-DVR picture feed is much better than the previous HD only receiver. Had to get a new TV stand as well to integrate into the overall...

    Flat screen tvs

    I just bought a Samsung 55" LED - 6000 series Smart TV. I had a Sony Bravia 50" LCD, which I did like quite a bit but had an opportunity to upgrade size and technology. The picture is on the Samsung is AWESOME. The 120hz motion feature is nice but takes a bit to get used to the imaging. I...

    Watched my first 3-D demo yesterday...and it blows

    I understand surround sound and the impact added to the movie watching experience. Same for very good subs and same for a very nice HD display. But, IMO a good movie experience can come from a simple fat 32" tube television. 3D just seems to add that extra dimension (no pun intended) that is...

    Under-the-floor sub-woofers

    I defer to the some more technical responses but it seems to me you should simply get a couple of very robust subwoofers and place them in you existing room. This should give you better overall response – and some of the more robust subwoofer will literally shake the room. Mounting them...
