So, I have a couple FIR processors and access to lots of different speakers. What exact tests could I perform that would satisfy you? Please, describe the testing process in detail, or link to them.

I have a few Acoustic Power Labs processors and love them, despite the 2-channel one testing poorly because they do this: That was a very early test, I've since figured out the low end hump. I also use them in my home theater setup and do not have any lip sync issues, and that is with two of...

A co-worker is always talking about supercars and my favorite question to ask him is, "Can YOU run a faster lap time in it than a Spec Miata?"

I thought about the clones, but there always seems to be someone having issues with them. You just don't hear about those issues with the Crowns. And I'm not so sure the clones really make all that much more power than the 2502, or at least enough to make a difference. HS24 and Crown owners...

Each amp is powering a Stereo Integrity HS24. They work flawlessly, don't get hot, fans don't come on, and I have WAY more power than I need.

This thread would have gone much differently had you included that info in your first post.

I personally only need Airplay because I live in the Apple eco system. I thought about using a 10+ channel amp in my server room and having an Airport Express (with wifi turned off) as the audio player for each zone. The only reason I care about cross-platform is because I'll be renting out...

I recently started a home remodel that will include in ceiling speakers in various rooms. I was looking for something to be as cross-platform as possible, but without the cloud connection or cost of Sonos. I stumbled upon this and will be ordering an amp soon to test out.

That's my point!

I think the benchmarks from apps that haven't been ported are great for showing to the "Have fun buying new software!" people. ;)

This is spot on for me. I don't have these particular amps, but I do have 4 Crown XLS amps, and 5 Behringer Europower amps. I'll be needing more channels in the next couple years and I'll probably turn to the pro market when the time comes. I've been tempting to send one of the Europower amps...

I am the use case for something like this, but I am also an edge case. I am building a 5.2 system with fully active 3-ways for the 5. I have the amps, speakers, sources, and AVR, I just need processing. Three of these would get me the processing for a fairly reasonable price. One for the...

I saw the drama and was thinking, "No! Two people I really like are arguing!"

About a year ago I pulled a bunch of 2 and 3RU Core Duo machines from the Cotton Bowl Stadium that had been running 24/7 for several years. I tossed all the electronics except the Seasonic power supplies and set the cases aside to build later. About 1.5 months ago I built two of the cases and...

One thing that has held true over the years is that I've never been disappointed by adding more power.
