    Ah...Bi-Amping sounds as controversial as speaker burn-in time. Thank you for the advise on the surge protector as well as your advice overall regarding this project NorthStar. Jonathan

    You know, I don't get lucky often...but I'll take this as a win! And I actually feel like I'm starting to understand some of this stuff too. I plan on Bi-Amping my speakers because they support it and so does the amp - might as well take advantage of that extra performance until I bump my...

    The numbers I'm seeing are slightly different but not far off from yours. It doesn't sound like a deal breaker at least. Regarding RMS power I found this: With 8 ohm loads, both channels driven, from 20-20,000 Hz; rated 100 watts per channel minimum RMS power, with no more than 0.08% total...

    At long last, I finally have the model number / specs of the receiver my job will send me for free. Integra DTR-30.7 This seems like it would work very well for me but please scrutinize it and let me know if it's missing something that I need. As a refresher, the following are my speakers...

    ah ok, I couldn't tell that from the spec sheet. It does say "Speaker impedance 4 ohms–16 ohms" generally and it says "220 W (4 ohms, Front)" but that was specific to dynamic power which, from what I understand, is just millisecond of peak power. I didn't know if it would be an issue or not...

    Thank you for the reply on this. Don't worry, the Denon was not the high-end receiver that I may get from work. I'm still waiting on word for that. I just happened to see the Denon on sale and wondered what your thoughts were. I am aiming to get the Onkyo RZ830 if the receiver from work falls...

    My speakers say they are 8 ohm compatible but the speakers themselves say they are rated at 4 ohms. The Onkyo TX-RZ830 for example has the following specs: All channels 250 W/Ch (6 ohms, 1 kHz, 10% THD, 1 channel driven) 120 W/Ch (8 ohms, 20 Hz–20 kHz, 0.08% THD, 2 channels driven, FTC)...

    The Denon AVR-X2500H is on sale for $399. Worth it?

    I have the speakers...now I need the rest!

    I have an update. There is a good chance that I'll be getting a leftover receiver from my work and my company only does high-end equipment. I do not know what the equipment is at the moment but I'm hoping to find out in the next few days. Once I do, I'll post the make / model so y'all can...

    I have the speakers...now I need the rest!

    So, just out of my own curiosity, what key components separate low-to-mid-grade receivers (or amps) from mid-to-high-grade receivers (or amps)?

    Thank you very much. Yes, I plan to watch for deals on Black Friday and now with these suggestions, I actually know what to look for. Thanks again!

    Any suggestions on a good receiver? I'm happy to provide more detail if needed. Thanks!

    I have the speakers...now I need the rest!

    Hi everyone! I found a great deal on a pair of Fluance Signature Series floorstanding speakers (click for link to Amazon) and I'm looking to fill out the rest of the equipment I need for them on a budget. First, I need a good receiver. These speakers are going to act primarily as my HiFi...
