Amp and preamp choice for B&W 704s, HTM7 center, DS7 rear, ASW850 sub

[Cacophonix1984]

Hello,

I think I am doing disservice to my speakers with a Yamaha RXV-2300 receiver for home theater and music.

I have a Mac mini and an Arcam Rdac for digital audio and video, and a decent Denon DVD player.

I would like to move to a decent amp preamp combo...

Hi all,

I almost posted this in my other thread, but thought maybe it could use its own. A few weeks ago I picked up an iNuke 6000DSP to run my LFE channel. These amps are amazing to run subs. The extra headroom for my drivers has added a very audible benefit to my system - and the DSP...

Other than the case I'm pretty out of my element on this one so looking for some input from you electical guys.
This came up in other spots and I'm still not sure if I will go bridged or not, in either case I'll cut/tap the holes for it just in case. I'm shooting for are more standard 17"...

My Counterpoint SA-100 broke. It started having problems shortly after I replaced the tubes in it, with Electro-Harmonix 6922 tubes. The left channel would make distortion and later the right channel too, especially at low frequencies. I just let it run like that for a year since this...

I don't what the heck I did wrong but here goes.

I bought the amp and promptly yanked out the blue lead on one of the output transformers. Yea didn't know how delicate they were but I was trying to strip it with a knife instead of the auto wirestripper I have which I was too lazy to...

I'm one of those intensely anal people that likes everything to look perfect and am now faced with a dilemma...

Most of my equipment is brushed aluminum...

My DirecTV DVR box isn't. <queue lightning strike>

So I have this brilliant idea that I might...

I have almost built a box for a dayton hf390 and I found out my amp is bust. I was thinking of something like a bash 500 plate amp, but I do not have alot of cash to work with. Right now I havent carved a hole in my box for an amp so I thought of useing an external amp for now.
The beringer a500...

I know this isn't the normal DIY sort of thing on these boards but I've been a member here for a very long time and thought I would share.

I just picked up some PCB's for a Pass Labs Aleph amp clone. They can do any of the Aleph designs up to the Aleph 5. I chose to do the Aleph 5 design...

I will be building some active crossovers and DIY power amps on a budget...

I know that most people use aluminum project boxes for housing active crossovers and power amplifiers, etc. While I would like to get some nice aluminum enclosures, and probably will some day, is there any compelling...

I currently dont own a reciever and im going to be building some speakers before too long and i was concidering buying a reciever. But then i thought if im going to have to buy equipment i want to do it right the first time especially seeing as most of the speakers i want to build are 4ohm speakers...

[Cowanrg]

I purchased a Behringer EP1500 amp a couple months ago to run my 15" Avalanche sub but I haven't actually played it since my sub wasn't done yet. I had planned on changing out the fan with a quieter one but it turns out it had a different connector than the one I had bought. Refer to this thre...

Spun off from the Dayton RS 3-way tower thread.

I have a couple chip-amp projects in the works including a X (or super symmetry) chip-amp (based on a proposal by Nelson Pass and much leg-work by Terry Aben in researching component values). Just PCB's really. And power supply.
