Got a question — after plugging my LCR’s into the upcoming Buckeye amp, will I need to re-run Audyssey and recalibrate everything?
And should I expect big volume differences in the AVR trims (since 8 surround channels will still come off of AVR)?

Yes, as the overall gain may have changed unless the Buckeye amps' gains are identical to your previous channels. Safest to just re-run.
Probably not but again it depends upon the gain. If your current amplifier has X dB gain and new Y dB, there will be a difference of X-Y dB. If X and Y are equal, the difference will be 0 dB. Generally IME audio power amplifier gains lump around 30 dB or so and I would not expect more than a dB or three of difference if that.
For your case, the surround trims may be the same, with just the LCR channel trims adjusted for the new amps.
The one on the right is my favorite.

Yes, you always need to re-run Audyssey when you change an amp, a speaker or change speaker placement. Anytime you make changes to your system plan to re-run Audyssey. I have seen as much as a 2dB change in Audyssey volume settings with an amp change.
An upgrade from my wood coathangers, I think these would make cool binding posts…
Only about $4 a piece with rhodium plated platinum cores. Just need to get past the 5000 ohm resistance!

Don’t they come with a “single pull” guarantee these days?Great. Just what we need: Hard to start speakers!!

But not until after 60,000 miles and then they sound like new again!
Sound that is shockingly good too.

For some ears perhaps........
I still prefer the 'warmth' of an amplifier that is powered up with a hand crank

Might be relevant to some but we plan on offering a mono version of the Hypex NC2k sometime by Q1/Q2 of 2024
I’m already confused by all the options.
So the recent announcements include 2 new amps...
Coming soon:
1. Hypex NC2k
2. Purifi 9040 (aka 1ET9040)
Already Available:
3. Hypex NCx500
4. Hypex NC252MP
5. Hypex NC502MP
6. Purifi 1ET7040SA
7. Purifi 1ET400A
It would be nice to get some kind of comparison breakdown.
I would love to create such a thread, but my understanding of amp technology and the differences is rather limited. Otherwise, I would have created such a thread already.
