Is my amp the problem?
I do that but I dont get an area where stuff is being sold. I'll try on another computer.  
Is my amp the problem?
Lol Aux I have to spend a bit more to get something newer and not so "vintage" ha ha. The parasound is so old that the electrolytic caps are leaking.

aux, I tried to find the stuff for sale in the emporium but I dont see where the stuff is for sale.

W4S St500? Adcom GFA555? emotiva xpa-2? 
Is my amp the problem?
agreed. usually you don't want to put any resistors in line with the woofer, right?. BTW, the speakers are my design and I use mills or mundorf resistors to pad down when needed. high now I have them running wide open!! I was hoping an amp might h...

BTW, I have to wait for the admin to approve my registration to the emotiva site.

my woofers are 86-87db sensitivity. My mid/tweeters are 90db,

Thanks aux I'll check it out. 
Is my amp the problem?
Well the parasound amp arrived. And I have to say if I didnt have bad luck I would have no luck at all.  I turned it on and it does have more balls than the crown but then I noticed the current limit LED's lighting/ I called Parasound and they sai...

New development: A buddy of mine with more equipment than shelves to use this stuff (lol) lent me a Antimode 2.0. Apparently it has a Xo in it. Input impedance not specified.   
Is my amp the problem?
Al, the pioneer is just for testing purposes. If I decide to go for an active XO I will shop for a better one. BTW, I just checked, the input impedance of the parasound is 33k!!!!! Thats great! and the sensitivity is 1.1 for full rated output. Thi... 
Is my amp the problem?
I bypassed the mindsp and went straight to the crown on the woofer and KWA100SE on the mid/twt. It did sound better. Not wonderful, but better. Next is to try the active XO with a higher input impedance (once I can get it). New amp should be here ... 
Is my amp the problem?
almarg, Dan agreed with you. he said 20K is good input impedance 30K is ideal. He is very helpful, one of the nicest guys to deal with. Love his product and his attitude, good karma for sure. I purchased (on his suggestion) 2 output coupling caps ... 
Is my amp the problem?
Ill check that later today. I am getting improvement in the system as I work on it. However I would say the bass is not there yet. Ill drive the crown directly from the pre. I would think there would be a sonic difference and will report back. Tha... 
Is my amp the problem?
Aux i got a HCA 1000. They are supposed to have high current capability. If I need to move up the ladder eventually Ill do so.The XO is a Pioneer SF 700. I will use it only as a low pass at approx 200hz. This is to compare with the mindsp re input...
