Thanks 4 answering my questions. Currently running 5.1.4. Going 7.1.4 soon & hooking my 4 Dali Alteco Atmos on the old Sony amps. When I did go 5.1 to 5.1.4 I heard a change and notice my Denon ×4700h strugglin and didn't sounded the same as 5.1. Soon adding Klipsch rp-6000f and go full 7.1.4. I love the journey and adding/replacing the gear.
Morning guys, Here’s a question people may have. Should your speakers be able to out perform your amp of vise versa? Ex: if your amp is 180w at all channels driven, shouldn’t you get speakers that can handle that amount and not ones that are only rated at 120w? Do the higher wattage speakers just give you extra headroom? My bookshelves that are rated 120w distort in some super loud scenes like the jet engines in Maverick.
Running klipsch rf7iii and a Audiocontrol Pantages G4 amplifier bridged and I have no problem pushing them into the 120+db level while playing music @ the 11.5 ft back listening position. If I am doing normal listening it's in the 90 to 100db range. I definitely use my power.
I wonder if it was an issue with that particular unit. I've heard issues with electronics or the gain staging where you begin to hear distortion at levels way lower than you would expect. Almost as if there was a limiter on it.
@@velocci6666 if for an extending amount of time at high volumes you'll notice the sound thinning out, losing it's clarity and unable to meet dynamic swings with the same spl's followed by distortion (which is a main factor in blowing your speakers). It basically runs out of horsepower.
I mean it does seem like they never seen engineers do the hundreds of videos of avr power measurements. I think I've learned more in a few videos than what they are speculating about.
Upgrading the power circuits to 20amps and if affordable a Power Generator will do wonders especially if your power amps and subwoofers are on the same circuit not to mention the tv and other electronics. Here's what you're getting: 15amps x 120 volts = 1800watts. If you have 4 to 6 outlets in your room you're probably on the same single 15amp circuit powering all your equipment 😯💩 ! you'll be surprised what your subs can really do and how much cleaner everything sounds when they have dedicated circuits.
Happy Tuesday fellas

I've heard the monolith subwoofer does the cone size and not the flange from multiple places. Can't think of the reference off the top of my head tbh
Joe mentioned that here. He referenced James’ review of the Monolith 13 where James states it is a true 13-inch cone.
The monolith 16s are 16 inches from the outer edge of the surround to the outer edge of the opposite surround

No subs? Once you use bass management, the subs start doing most of the heavy lifting
@@joentell those measurements are from just the rf7iiis. No subs.
@@matthewaugsburger536 That makes sense then. It's the bass that requires most of the power.
What does “strained” sound like?
I wonder if it was an issue with that particular unit. I've heard issues with electronics or the gain staging where you begin to hear distortion at levels way lower than you would expect. Almost as if there was a limiter on it.
Kinda like yelling at your highest peak and then running out of air to maintain that level.
@@ben23a31 so it would sound lower in volume?

I dunno if you guys are just having a laugh or not but your mate over at audioholics has done a lot of content over the years on avr power.
Huh? What here makes you think we are having a laugh at Audioholics’ expense? I can guarantee none of us are.
