Is this enough power?
Thanks again.I did look at the links and found them to be a wealth of technical information that for the most part was over my head.From these posts and my research into the Pioneer EX speakers, i do have a much better appreciation for their desig... 
Is this enough power?
Thanks again for the explanations. I finally found a graph with phase.Looks like the lowest phase angle is approx. -40 degrees at 30Hz where the impedance is 10 ohms. Other than that dip, the phase angle is above 0 degrees.From what I understand f... 
Is this enough power?
I also found this and used google translate. Is the frequency response and/or axel deviation comment related to phase angles? Not sure if the wording is different because of the translation."Also by measurement the relationship between S-1EX and S... 
Is this enough power?
Magfan - is there anywhere i can go to find out more about phase angles. that is something i am not familiar with. Does it have something to do with the slope of the impedance curve at a specific frequency? 
Is this enough power?
Thanks for all the responses. I found an impedance graph for the speakers.Between 1k and 20k it is 6 ohms and peaks at 12 ohms at 5k.From 1k and below it is ruler flat at 4 ohms.Does this new info alter any of the comments?the amp does have a 4 oh... 
Looking for help with speaker upgrades...
Thanks, I'll take a look at those.I will be using the speakers 100% for 2 channel music. in terms of bass do i need to be overly concerned with how low they go. I want to make sure i am not leaving some speakers off the list because they don't go ... 
Starting and Home Theatre and need help
Thank you very much for all of this information. This would have taken me forever to find, understand and digest on various audio sites.Now I need to determine whether to stick with the higher quality amps such as arcam or cambridge audio or go wi... 
Starting and Home Theatre and need help
Thanks.I only brought up the idea of separates because you can get some inexpensive Rotel's, Lexicon's etc... which presumably are still high quality amplification and that this would provide me with the backbone of the system while allowing me to... 
Totem Mani 2 Signatures vs. Usher BE-718
I stand corrected. For what it is worth, it is 9x12.5. A much larger walk in closet :) 
Totem Mani 2 Signatures vs. Usher BE-718
I guess what i am hearing is that given the potential lack of power in my integrated and the small size of my room, neither of these speakers is the way to go. I am very happy with the model 1 sig's and not sure that there is much more out there t... 
Totem Mani 2 Signatures vs. Usher BE-718
For what it is worth. My room measures, 8'w x 10'd x. 9'h. My speakers are about 1 foot from the rear wall and 4-5 feet from each other. My listening position is about 7' from the speakers. 
Totem Mani 2 Signatures vs. Usher BE-718
I actually moved away from the B&W Nautilus 804 / Rotel combo to the Bryston and Totem Model 1 Sig when I had to move my equipment into a personal listnening room. Too hard to keep everything safe with 3 children. Still have the Rotel RCD991 a... 
Biamping help needed
Thank you for the responses. I will have to borrow a set of bi-wired cables and try in bridged mono mode and try with a single amp to see what the differences are.I am thinking of selling my two Harman Kardon PA220's (2x100 watts each) and purchas...
