How important for surrounds to match fronts?
My opinion, if you want to achieve the movie experience like/better than the theatres in your home in a medium to large space to work with, you will need horns and the less crossover and calibration the better as it is all filtering holding back d... 
Audience Adept Mod
I should be receiving my unit by Monday. Has anyone tried a powered subwoofer plugged into any of these units? If so, what were the results? 
Audience Adept Mod
Jazzonthehudson, I may get the Au24 with it and it is the latest TSS model (full blown version). Can't wait. Should be with me by Thursday, maybe Friday latest. I am really excited how my plasma will look plugged into it too. I do watch a lot of m...

Jazzonthehudson, actually I've bought new on trade and may try the audience cord($1000 cord) that comes with it. I was going to do a HD P3 and get a powercon put on but decided that Audience may be better qualified for the task. Any suggestions?

I am awaiting my 6tss model and is replacing an Isotek Aquarius which was quite good. I'm hoping to be wowwwwed....... 
How important for surrounds to match fronts?
I think that matching all speakers and timber matching is critical to the home theatre experience. I do think that when creating a home theatre like the movie experience the only way is with horn drivers-like the theaters have. The heart pounding ... 
subwoofer question
I will second the PB13Ultra. Best I've heard hands down.

Kzhtoo, at about 250-300 hours you should notice a huge increase in midrange to bass extension and volume. I remember saying to myself "where the heck did that come from". I was pretty amazed how they have the levels of increased quality jumps. Th... 
Synergistic Research Tesla Plex SE ac receptacle
I agree with Tonyptony, the Maestro seemed to be more natural than the S.R Teslaplex SE. The Teslaplex sounded liquid and vial compared to the Maestro. I haven't tried the Furutech GTX-R but have heard great things. 
how much did you spend on rear surround speakers?
I have Casta Acoustic speakers with dipole surrounds. They are made in Italy with custom made horns and drivers throughout. The surrounds were very pricey but compared to the Axion Qs8's I used to have the Casta's improved the information by 40-50... 
Best Home Theater Processor Used 1K-3K Range
Dawgbyte,I've sold my UMC-200 and in regards to the Xmc-1, there is no power rating. It is simply a multi channel pre/processor with no amplification. I have not purchased the xmc-1 as I am awaiting a custom server,outboard power supply, and high ...

Kzhtoo, I think whichever position you place the P4, when all is said you may have P4's on everything as I do. Your soundstage will expand with greater detail and depth, quieter background, extension and isolation. I couldn't imagine if say a P5 w...

Kzhtoo, I would start with the P4 on the amp as it's gauge should be better for your amplification. I am awaiting my P4 20 amp to have the 15 amp connector put back on as I had sold my EAD Powermaster 2000(20amp) and now use a Hybrid tube Integrat...

I've done a comparison running an oppo 105 2.1/5.1 analogue. I sold it and bought the 103 and bought an Emotiva UMC-200 which had eq adjusting, better volume control, the XLR connections were killer compared to the RCA' s in the oppo 105. Overall ...
