Parasound Halo A52 keeps shutting off / protection
Hi thanks for the advice. I'm using all 5 Channel, the MLs are bi wired plus an extra sub. I have an external fan and when I touch the unit it's not very hot. For some reason one side does feel hotter than the other. 
Increase total Speaker Impedance Question
Hi Bill and Al, I would like to thank you for all your invaluable inputs. After thorough testing, I cannot tell a difference (besides loudness) between using a 3 ohm resistor vs splitting the speakers (tri-wiring). Therefore, I would like to say t...

I'm thinking something like the Henry Engineering PatchBox II Stereo Output Multiplier may work. It's got a balanced input with multiple balanced and unbalanced outputs. If that works it actually solves all the problems. 
Increase total Speaker Impedance Question
Hi Al and Bill,Thanks again for all your inputs. Once the resistors arrive, I'll let you know how it goes. A challenge with using multiple amps for a speaker is that the pre-out connection on the pre-amp cannot be split. If I use a splitter, i.e. ... 
Increase total Speaker Impedance Question
Thanks again Bill and Al,So in short, there's no way to rectify my current situation with a resistor. Is there possible to redesign a 4 way crossover so that the speakers can be wired as a series or series-parallel? Or, as a last resort, to use se...

Hi Bill and Almarg,Thanks again for your detailed explanation. I understand the power loss in this setup. However, I am still having difficulty grasping why the sound quality would also take a turn for the worse. Will the frequencies be improperly... 
Increase total Speaker Impedance Question
By the way the receiver is rated at 125 watt each channel, so 200 watt resistor should be sufficient? 
Increase total Speaker Impedance Question
Thank you all for your response and help. Yes, all of the speakers are different models and hence each have its own unique crossover that I ordered from Parts Express. As a results the only way to make it sonically plausible is to wire them in a p... 
Different subwoofer at each corner?
I see. Thank you all for the great suggestions. I'll start off by lowering the crossover point to 80hz to see if that helps. I'll play around with the phase settings too.Thanks! 
Different subwoofer at each corner?
I see, thanks for the input. So the fact that they are not identical does not pose a problem? PS, they are crossed over at approximately 100hz. 
Is Monster cable getting better?
I've recently dissected a few newer models from Monster Cables, the iCable, the HD1000 and some ICs. My findings are the following:1. Poor quality copper, noticeably lighter and less dense. When you touch them they don't feel like metal at all.2. ... 
I got the USB DAC per everyone's sugguestion BUT..
I see. Thanks for all your suggestion. All the brand names mentioned here, did you guys actually tried it and confirmed that it will work at 24/96 in Windows 7?Anyways, after weeks of trying, I finally got the V-DAC to work at 24/192. These are my... 
The best speaker you ever heard?
Dynaudio Sapphire. Doesn't matter who says I swear by the Dyns although this particular one is not as costly as some of the names mentioned here. Unfortunately, my pockets aren't deep enough to go beyond that. I am sure the Evidence Master would s...
