Thank you. I've decided to stick with the 20 dB gain on the Audiophonics amp as I can easily hit the volume levels I need. I've also decided to lower the gain on the XTZs, mostly because I am getting a very low volume buzz from the speakers that disappears when I lower the gain. Side note: I'm...

Thank you. I think what he (and others I've heard) is saying is that you can run into output clipping on the Denon in case you have high trim levels and crank the volume. I don't know if that's true, but if I were Denon, I would make sure you could have the highest trim sand the highest volume...

I'm trying to understand gain matching. I have two of these paired with a Denon X6700H. If I lower the gain, does that bring me closer to matching the Denons output voltage at reference level (0 dB or 82.5 on the absolute volume scale) without hampering the XTZ's power output? Ps. I posted a...

Thank you. I read the article, and my understanding is that the recommendation is to keep the amplifier gain as low as possible while making sure that you can reach the maximum output or target SPL. I just checked the AVR trim levels needed to reach 75 dB at the MLP using the internal pink...

Hi, I have been running my 7.2.6 system with a Denon AVR-X6700H (link to ASR review) and two external amplifiers (XTZ Edge A2-300, link to ASR review, link to the manual with specs) for the LCRs. I've used these amps with the gain set to its highest setting without thinking about whether it is...

Does anyone have an educated opinion on how much power Dali speakers need to really perform at their best? I have a 7.2.6 home theater system consisting of all Dali speakers. Rubicon 5 as fronts, Opticon Vokal mk2 as center, Menuet as surrounds and back surrounds and Alteco C-1 as heights. They...

That's discouraging... I'll have to give it a try myself.

In what way would you notice such "phase issues"?

I had a look, and I am not sure what comparison or data you are referring to that will help me answer my question?

What about using a bookshelf speaker oriented horizontally? I'm wondering because all high-end center channels that would make a good match with my front towers are too big to fit in or on top of my media cabinet. There are however small high-end bookshelf speakers (which I use as surrounds)...
