Has anyone ever tried two center channel speakers?
I'd never heard of lobing before this thread. I've used the speaker in this orientation for over a year with very good results. I had an Infinity Kappa home theater center speaker, it is an excellent speaker for a conventional sized room, it was j... 
Infinity Kappa 8.1 speaker repair-is it worth it?
You it must be your amp. I am using a Kappa 7.1 as the center channel in my home theater powered by a Carver Silver 9t monobloc at 900wpc @ 4 ohms with the speaker set to full-range large in my home theater. No problems with the speaker as it is s... 
Infinity Kappa 8.1 speaker repair-is it worth it?
I had a pair of Kappa 8.1 and ran them with a Sunfire Signature amp rated at 600wpc @ 8 ohms and 1200wpc @ 4 ohms and never had a problem with the Kappas. All of the old Kappa series love lots of power.You've got to get an amp with testicular fort... 
I've Fallen in Love With My Mistress
Sounds like some of you are telling me my mistress is young and pretty, has a nice body and voice, but only intermitently intellectually stimulating. Whereas my older longtime love never failed me and actually did get better with age. Well, I'm 54...

I think the affair began when I bought a Hi-Def dvd player. That for sure was the forbidden fruit. 
Need pre-amp help for Kappa 9 & Adcom GFA-555mkii
Bob, if the 565's are monoblocs, they can easily be connected to biamp the Kappa 9's. One monobloc for the low pass and one monobloc for the high pass on each speaker. Connect them the the two pairs of outputs on the back of your preamp and you're... 
A question I suspect reveals a lot of ignorance...
I see ads for equipment here all the time saying that the equipment "wasn't driven hard". Well does playing and amp and preamp very loud cause it to age prematurely? Is is better off than an amp or preamp that wasn't played loudly? 
Infinity Kappa 9's sound terrible...HELP
Also.......you need a big room for Kappa 9. For small to medium rooms they are overkill. 
Infinity Kappa 9's sound terrible...HELP
The Kappa 8's are very good, but they are not in the same league with the Kappa 9....no contest. The Kappa 8's are much easier to drive. The bass, highs, midrange and dynamics of the Kappa 9 completely overwhelm the Kappa 8 if the rest of your sys... 
Just Received my Zero One Mercury Today
Answer to my own question: I went to the Zero One website and checked the prices. Seems reasonable. This is one unit I will seriously consider.If it is as good as advertised, I would replace my one-box player for it.

How much does the Zero One Mercury cost? 
Carver sonic holography
I've had the TG1 and I currently have the TG2. For my money, they've been outstanding. I've only used the Sonic Holography very sparingly. On some recordings it sounds very good. Ultimately, all of this is going to be a matter of taste. Take a few...

Gr8fulThere is no audio through HDMI on the TG5. The HDMI on the TG5 is only for video. 
What are you getting for $12k in a pre-pro?
update:Pe3046... you for pointing out that the Theater Grand II had the db25 input on the back. I had lost the manual and had seen the input on the back but had no idea what that "thing" was for. Before your post, I was negotiating to buy a Theate... 
What are you getting for $12k in a pre-pro?
My player is the Toshiba HD-XA2 with the 5.1 channel outputs.The Theater Grand does have the db-25 6-channel input on the back, but there is no db-25 output on the dvd player.
