How to set up REL Subwoofer?
Similar question. Just got T9 to use with 7.1 ht with triad gold monitors for front 3 channels. If I want to use high pass do I need a dedicated channel from my Cary 7 channel amp or do I piggyback on another channel 
projector surge protection
RunninThx for the info. That's exactly what I had in mind too. I use a quality power conditioner/stabilizer already but it isn't battery backed. Thinking of using an apc 1250/1500 with the conditioner plugged into it and the electronics then into ...

Processor help
Else iclAre you using the direc software? Room correction with the xmc is a must or I'll go with the anthem. 
Processor help
DbphdI like the processor for the room correction. I'm investing a small fortune in this room and want it to be as authentic as possible. I don't think the 105 offers correction? 
Processor help
ElevickI had considered using the 105 with a lesser pro as well. However, as noted, I will be using for 2 channel as well and would like a good pre for that purpose

Zu Omen Def's, Tekton Pendragon SEAS, or Omega's?
I'm in a similar position looking at the same speakers but for HT application. What SS amps pair nicely with the zu omen def vs with the tekton pendragon seas? 
Zu Omen Defs and Ice Amps?
Afraid to stir the pot BUT I'm looking to possibly purchase a ZU ht system based on the omen def and need a good multichannel amp. Any suggestions? I know most above dislike the class d amps but wondered about the wyred 4 sound units that seem to ... 
7.1 SETUP
How about the new Enzo? Also, suggestions for mixing tekton speakers. I don't do multi channel audio so the surrounds could be bookshelf models. 
7.1 SETUP
Thanks all for the help. I'm quite interested in the tekton option. Will have to see if I have room available. Sidssp I am leaning towards the theta amp you have to drive the system. I have considered the exact active option you mention. My issue ... 
Good Processor
Thx guys. I have Merlin VSM MXRs and will be adding the tsm center and tsm for surround. When I mean they are revealing, I am trying to say they show the weak link in the audio chain. 
Good Processor
TcatSorry if I wasn't clear. I do want the ability to process the new codecs but not necessarily from the processor as I understand my oppo can do this fine. My real problem here as stated is my speakers are going to reveal anything that isn't goo... 
Good Processor
My only issue is that I am using some very revealing speakers, Merlin VSM which I intend to keep, and fear lesser quality electronics will stick out. From reviews I have read comparing cary, integra, lexicon even the older higher end units sound b...
