Theta v.s. Sim Audio
I own the Sim trio, never heard the Theta gear. The Theta gear has way more futures, bells and whistles. I don't know what the feature/performance trade off is. Sim is so balls to the wall, they are too cheap to make a different chassis for the pr... 
To bridge or not to bridge....
The ohm meter across does not work. I tried, one answer was "all you are measuring is the woofer dc load". All I can say is it does not work.If you like Bryston, I don't think you can go wrong with the 14b sst. If you clip this, you need help.Hone...

I have been looking at the Wilson's Sophia, not soooo expexsive. Never heard the Sophia's and am unsure if a dealer here has a set...The Wilson center looks really cool(a plus for me, to heck with the audio gods...)I did find the info on the Meado... 
To bridge or not to bridge....
Weird, I started to have this same basic problem with a 9B. I went round and round with Byrston, my dealer and the speaker manufacture. Conclusion, I was under powered. I still think this was bull.... But hey, they know more than I do. The drop in...

Looking for the same basic thing. My search so far has me leaning towards the Meadowlark brand. The Heron I's to be specific. All the reviews I see seem to be good, the speaker seems to go lower for most. These might be below your price point, the...

Because the moon is made of cheese.Isn't some of these signals DC?Marty 
Best 5 Channel Amp
Yes, I have ones of these for used for sale here, so this is my disclaimer.The Bryston 9B just seems to be a staple of high end systems, this is one of he reasons I purchased the unit. One of the things often over looked is the size to power ratio... 
Commercial wire for AC dedicated lines
Forgot the most important part, if you think you need 50ft of wire, buy 75ft or more..... 
Commercial wire for AC dedicated lines
Check local electrical codes... Buy a book...Installing a dedicated islotated ground circuit is pretty easy thou. I just used regular commercial wire, its called Romex. I used solid core copper wire 10/2. Its 10 gauge with 2 plastic shielded wires... 
Help, moved and very unhappy the sound of the syst
What are your thoughts on Richard Gray Power Comyany vs the PS Audio product? It seems to be either clean up the ac or give the system a large boost.I tried a RGPC at the old room, little differance but I am sure that it all depends on the supply.... 
Help, moved and very unhappy the sound of the syst
Thanks all for the help, so far the front mains are 7ft apart and I am moving the speakers forward to work out the bass.If I end up with something that NO women would ever life with than am I on the right track?(audio side of life only....)Marty 
Help, moved and very unhappy the sound of the syst
Thaks for all the help. I switched the placement of the whole system be 90 degrees, to run the length of the room.Some improvement, but little. The speakers are 5 ft apart, 5ft from side walls and 4ft from back wall. 9ft to listening position. I a... 
Help, moved and very unhappy the sound of the syst
I installed a dedicated 20 amp circuit. 
Sim Audio or Bryston 7b's?
Current speakers are Phase Tech 9.1(4 ohm) as mains and 3.1s(6 ohm) as center and surrounds. Sen. 92dbs I know these are basically entry level speakers, but they work for now. I was thinking of the Aerial 7b combo, which are more inefficient speak...
