    Hypex amp turns off, processor problem or amp problem?

    Peng - Hasn't been the issue since day 1. It really only happens when I'm watching Suits on Netflix. I think it may have happened while watching some sports, but Suits is the one where it has happened the most. My thought was maybe in Dolby+ mode, there is no processing going to the rear...

    Hypex amp turns off, processor problem or amp problem?

    I'm having an issue with my HT setup. I notice from time to time that my monolith m8250x with drop one of the modules while I'm watching TV. It's always the one I have my left surround and left rear surround hooked up to. After some time I hear the click of the module turning back on and it...

    Sorry for the sideways photos below, can’t get it to update to upright.

    Here are my impressions and how I perceive them in my room. Disclaimer: I love the Focal house sound, so YMMV. I love the utopia headphones I have. To me they tend to be on the bright side of neutral, but I prefer that sound, V shaped signature. I feel the Sopra line sounds the same, maybe...

    I’m in CT, but was just joking around. I have a friend coming out today to help, which works out for him too as I gifted him a receiver I didn’t need, but sone of the accessories never made it so he can grab those, plus maybe an extra subwoofer that may or may not work…

    So just wanted to post an update, picked up a pair of No2’s today. Good thing I didn’t wait around for a pair of 3’s in my price range, because the 2’s in the boxes barely fit in my SUV. Damn these are large boxes. Now I just need some help carrying these things downstairs. Anyone want to come...

    Yeah I love tower speakers also. Aesthetics are very important to me. Sound #1 and looks #2, but if I find the looks ugly, the sound is irrelevant. As I mentioned before, I primarily use the room for TV and movies. But I don't want to drop another 6-7k on a used pair of No 1's, when I can spend...

    Is it a fair comparison to show the difference between a bookshelf vs an in wall speaker? Not being ostentatious, generally curious if the different type of speaker should be taken into consideration. I would think the in wall would have a ton of variance depending on what's behind the wall...

    Given the exchanges here, I’m glad I made this thread. This has been very informative. I’ve read the spec sheets and that’s one of the reason I’m having this discussion. They do really make it seem like the 3’s need a large room. The way they have worded it though is likely inadequate, at best...

    I am replacing my SVS speakers with focal. Original intention was always to move the 1s to surrounds. If you recall a few months back my DM about the rear surrounds, I’m going to get a pair of aria 906. I do mostly use the area for movies, but I do like playing music. I hope to get more music...

    MLP is 9 feet from wall, TV sticks out about a foot

    So thats actually my gripe with the 1s. I’m 6’3” and the tweeters sit too low on the matching stands. I find myself slouching a lot to get in the ideal position

    True. I did feel that way with the PB 16s. Those were a nightmare to unbox.

    Thanks James. The only really reason I am considering the 3s is that I’m toying with the idea of running 2.0 music as opposed to 2.2. The 3s would help out in the lower end, but I do love bass and might find myself quickly reverting back to the 2.2 for stereo anyways. If the price difference...

    All, This is really much easier than most silly questions like this. I’m 100% absolutely purchasing either Focal Sopra #2 or #3 for my main LR. The room is 16x20x8.5. MLP is about 8 ft from TV. LR currently are sopra 1s. They are 10 ft apart (able to be moved closer together if I swap...

    Anthem AVM70 issues

    Agreed, and less power cords (not that the AVM70 helped in the cord category). Whenever I look behind my stand it reminds me of Wish You Would by Ludacris "5 hot amps, speakers shake like jelly so many wires in my trunk look like a bowl of spaghetti"

    Anthem AVM70 issues

    Dan, I should also note, comparing the 2 channel experience power now to 2 channel when I ran my outlaw mono's to LCR, no discernible difference. The main difference is a 45 pound 8 channel unit, vs 144 pounds of 2200 monos, or 93 pound monolith 7x200, with a more effiencient class D topology. I...

    Anthem AVM70 issues

    I like it at the 2149 price I paid, much less so at $3k. I do not have a closet for my audio equipment so everything is under the TV and I can see it all. I really like the look of the monolith amps a lot, which is why I wanted it for my class D choice. Buckeye makes a great product, but I can...

    Anthem AVM70 issues

    I haven't run arc genesis yet, as I'm waiting to install my in ceiling speakers, and waiting on XLR's to arrive for sub woofers (coming today). So I'm not 100% on all that this has to offer. I'm 100% prefacing this by saying it's possible that this is placebo effect as I obv haven't done a...
