Tough decision, samsung Samsung PN65F8500 or
I read a 2013 test review between the Panasonic VT & ZT series and the Samsung PN64F8500. Flat panel shoot-out audience and a Flat panel shoot-out Experts. The audience liked the samsung by 9.1 average to both panasonic at 8.9. The experts wer... 
What is the best subwoofer you have ever heard?
If I were you, audition two SVS SB13 ultra subs - 45 day trial. I have a PB13 Ultra(best sub I've owned and heard) and i'm going to try a SB13 Ultra, decide which I like better , and get another of choice. Depending on your room size, 2 SB13 Ultra... 
What is the best subwoofer you have ever heard?
I've had a Paradigm servo 15, good sub. M&K MX-350 MK2 in really cherry wood. Good sub but just didn't have the low level extension. I now have a SVS PB13 Ultra and at 2 notches on the volume and -15 on my pre output level it is dynamicly robu... 
Emotiva XPR-5 power amp?
Tonyangel, I understand you completely. So a Theta Dreadnaught 1 or Sim Titan is a way better choice. 
Emotiva XPR-5 power amp?
Tonyangel, I do have a dedicated 10guage cryoed 20 amp line. I am awaiting an EAD powermaster 2000 20 amp upgraded if it can get shipped out by seller. If not I am looking for a quality amp, silent, great extension and dynamics....etc. the ead sho... 
Emotiva XPR-5 power amp?
Rlwainwright, I'm interested in this amp for the reasons of the quality difference as apposed to the XPA-5. Difference in power supply(larger), quality parts, power reserves equals lesser heat. Larger headroom. Etc...I can deal with the price tag.... 
Having trouble with sound deadening
@Gdush. is your vibrating bass coming from your subwoofer(s)? 
Let's talk SUBS
I would look for a SVS PB13 Ultra. It will eat your paradigm servo 15 as I have one now and the Servo 15 was one of my first subs. You will not need anything more than the PB13 ultra. My room is 20x14x8 and my sub dial is at 9 o'clock(it starts at...

HiDiamond Power cords...
@Kzhtoo, you really need to try a P4 either on your source or Pre. What it will do to your overall sound is huge. The noisefloor lowers even more, your soundstage width/ depth expands, things you never heard before just come through. Really . You ... 
HiDiamond Power cords...
@Joeyboynj, I had the Oppo 105 and didn't like the sound of the analogue from its DAC's so I traded it back for a 103. The midrange sounded way too thin and the high frequencies were too bright. I did let it break in for 200 hours + and just didn'... 
HiDiamond RCA cables for sub
Kzhtoo, yes the XLR2 is my choice of cable in conjunction with my Emotiva UMC-200's XLR connections bettered its RCA connection. I was using the rca HD7 and was absolutely amazing but found the XLR2 combination with the Emotiva to work better. 
Synergistic Research Comes Down to Earth
I have done a comparison with the S.R element copper tungsten to the Hidiamond P3 and found the P3 to compete very well against a cord 3x it's price. For a power cord of its price-point the P3 is a very good power cord. But, I also did a compariso...
