| At what distance are balanced XLR cables needed? AFAIK, there are no such standards for unbalanced audio connections.Kal | |
| Need A great Processor Are you kidding? The Emotiva has weird bass management and EQ. These are complex devices and the "problems" with those the OP lists are minor in comparison. The Emotiva's major feature is low price.Kal | |

| Grilles or No Grilles Airegin: I fully agree and that is the point I was trying to make in my first post.Kal | |
| Two-channel is inferior to multi-channel, no? Listening is never monaural unless you put a finger in one ear. You always listen with both ears even to a single sound source. What you might be talking about is monophonic (meaning one source) + ambiance but, even then, that applies to a tiny pr... | |
| Beatles USB via Squeezebox Touch Using any drive directly into the SBT's USB input means that you are forced to use the tiny server software in the SBT rather than the one on the host computer. Interaction is sluggish and 24/192, fwiw, is not possible.Kal | |
| At what distance are balanced XLR cables needed? Mariv26: Anything over 3 meters, but I would still keep the interconnects as short as possibleI don't think you can make such a general recommendation. It really depends on the EMI environment. OTOH, if you believe that there are no potential disa... | |
| subwoofers w/room correction The Behringer has potential but (1) it is not built in as requested by the OP and (2) it also requires a competent external measurement system (e.g., REW) to calculate the necessary filters.Kal | |
| At what distance are balanced XLR cables needed? There are no guarantees. I have heard of people resorting to balanced cables for much shorter lengths because their situations involve lots of EMI. (Do you live near a radio/TV transmitter?) Recording/mastering studios have miles of cables all inf... | |
| subwoofers w/room correction Marty is spot-on. The auto setup on the Velodynes is grossly inferior to a manual setup but both are limited to a single microphone position and only account for frequency response correction.The JL is a pretty simply single frequency parametric E... | |
| At what distance are balanced XLR cables needed? I run 10meter interconnects, balanced and unbalanced, in Manhattan and have no noise problems with either. FWIW.Kal | |
| At what distance are balanced XLR cables needed? No answer is possible without knowing (1) the output current abilities of your preamp and (2) how much EMI noise there is.Kal | |

| Two-channel is inferior to multi-channel, no? Avgoround wrote: If you're into sound coming from all around you, and don't mind the overall refinement of the recording likely deteriorated a bit, I don't think you have much to stand on in this argument. You offer that same specious argument abo... | |
| Why is 2 Channel better than multi-channel? Bryon, I agree. There are, also, terrible stereo recordings. Any technology can be misused or used tastelessly.Kal |
