I am confused about 15A and 20A current.
Now, now don't take the Rotel back. This amp can't be drawing that much juice. What all else do you have plugged into this circuit? Or what all else shuts off then the circuit breaker pops? You might be able to simply rearrange things in your home... 
Worst remote nomination...
Sim Audio Stellar DVD- Press button, wait 5 seconds for something to happen(really a down side of the actual player I assume)...Also the Sim Audio Attraction preamp came with a universal touch screen remote pre-programmed with the DVD functions, a... 
High Powered Speakers?
Rule of thumb: If the speakers can handle 200 watts buy a 400 watt amp and turn it up half way.Talon Audio has some 1-1000 watt speakers.Marty 
Wanna know how noisy your AC is ?
Sean: The Lowes special also has variable sensitivity . I've always scratched my head at reducing leakage because my "boxes" beep like crazy anyways...TV big time as one would expect. Another reason to not put a TV smack in the middle of ones audi... 
Wanna know how noisy your AC is ?
Question on the Elfix. Is it the same basic thing at this-http://www.lowes.com/lkn?action=productDetail&productId=157879-1781-GVD-504ADIt goes beep beep when it detects current, and on my super DIY shielded power cords no beep beep...Well sinc... 
Please advise re dedicated circuit
Sean: I guess in my experiences I've used speakers with >88db sensitivity and >4 ohms. I know(the theory) the current requirements go up in a steep curve as either/both these figures go down.I'll have to try something different and see if I ... 
Please advise re dedicated circuit
Compromise-not much I think. I installed one, then added another at a later date. I have a monster 7 channel amp and the books strongly recommends a dedicated 20 just for itself(I think they are blowing smoke).The main reasons if to separate analo... 
Tweeter height - how to compensate?
Grow six inches...???Remove the spikes if the speakers have any. Move them farther from the listening position to get the dispersion greater per Hpshps.Something either has to go down or up here. I'm guessing the speakers are not moving down.Good ... 
HELP with speaker selection.
I had a Bryston 9b and it really did not seem to like lower ohm loads. The speakers I had were rated at 6 ohms and dipped to ~3.4 ohm.This does not really matter if you don't crank things up. Also the 4b is a larger amp also.Marty 
Please advise re dedicated circuit
Always an improvement, no idea. I would bet heavily you would notice some improvement, really depends on how bad things were before. If the power is total poop, then the improvement would be greater.I used 10g with a 20amp breaker. Some of the rea... 
How can i ......
Funny this is a subwoofer. I tried to take the driver out of one of my subs(HSU VTF-3) and gave up. The sub was brand new, I just wanted to take it apart because(the doctors are still working on this one)....I removed the screws and after a little... 
How can i ......
Huh...Make sure their are no internal mounts holding the driver in place. Feel around the perimeter on the inside the driver and make sure their are no "clamps". Being a 15" I would think you could get some leverage from the rear to break loose an... 
Center speaker placement
Well, the picture will be 5.5 feet from where the people are talking.Place it close to the TV, or use a "phantom" mode on the preamp and not use a center channel.Marty 
Surround sound pre amps and HDTV
One less button to press. Basically when you run everything into the preamp(audio/video) and say you switch from TV/DVD the preamp will switch video going into your TV.If you don't do this you need to switch the input on your TV.Generally speaking... 
How can multiple woofers generate lower frequency?
Yu11375-Something like this- 6.2 one 6.5” woofer 28Hz@-3db 22hz@-9db6.3 two 6.5” woofers 25Hz@-3db 22hz@-6db6.5 three 6.5” woofers 22Hz@-3db crude logic but close I think.
