Looking for a new amp
Ooooo, I copied the amount with symbol and pasted in Google,  that's where I got the figure from.   Didn't see conversion on the bottom.  I have been leaning towards the monolith 7x, 1600.00 also found a 125.00 coupon for it. Making it more intrig... 
Looking for a new amp
@auxinput I got the same number as u, 1674 but I think it's the sterling pound. Pretty sure because built in UK, so if it is the pound it would be 2182 usd. I really dont like the cheap looking speaker connections on the monolith.  Probably need t... 
Looking for a new amp
Anthem mrx720, bat vk200 and totem winds.  I looked at nord, but when I ran up the bill it was more like 2200 usd.  I did more looking into monolith,  it is balanced.  And from everything I found, it's made by ATI.  I have not looked into the used... 
Looking for a new amp
@auxinputThanks  for the info. I was really trying to keep it low cost. Still need my 2 subs and room treatment.  7700 is out of budget and at that cost it opens the door to so much more. This will not handle my fronts, I have that covered.  So I'... 
Need information on atmos
@mzkmxcv, Thanks for the info. Apparently u the only one running ceiling speakers.   
DIY is not all about saving money
@erik_squires I totally agree.  It's not about meeting the standards of manufactured products, it's the pure pleasure you get when you make something.  I used to do lots off wood working and construction.  And in reality many times you can make a ... 
Well maybe it IS my hearing
I am extremely happy with the performance of my system.  All interconnects are transparent,  not very expensive.  All PC are factory and I like them. The one time I introduced a 700 power cord,  it sounded bad. To bright. So I will stay with facto... 
BAT VK-500 (with BatPak) vs Belles 350a?
I'm not sure how to monoblock thing. I did see u had the 200 up for sale and I did think about it. I just got my 200 back from bat in February for a thorough inspection and refresh,  which it needed with many new parts.  My speakers are by wired. ... 
Well maybe it IS my hearing
@ Eric I always enjoy reading your post on what DIY u are doing.  Hobbies are supposed to be fun, so continue doing what you enjoy.  People always have opinions good and bad,  do like I do and weed out the garbage.  Many people here are help and s... 
Why the fascination with subwoofers?
Thanks for all the links, it has given me a better understanding of subs and setup.  
Doing the Power Cord Thing
Its always funny to make your own things.  And better when they work close to your expectations.  Did they do the cryo thing back in the 90's? 
BAT VK-500 (with BatPak) vs Belles 350a?
I just demoed an amp this weekend, it's in my home right now.  I really believed it would out class my vk200 in every way.  I figured at 6k and 400 watts it would.  Apparently it was quite the opposite.  The 200 is ?  I guess I can say musical.  I... 
BAT VK-500 (with BatPak) vs Belles 350a?
@brettmcee The bat is an excellent amp and incredible in low end.  I dont think you found a replacement for it. Van alstine VISION SET 400 AMPLIFIER (2199.00) made in USA, you may want to look into this amp and I believe they have 30 day trail.  I... 
BAT VK-500 (with BatPak) vs Belles 350a?
Let me know if you sell that bat, I been thinking about finding one.  Would rather have the 600se but its $$$$$$$.  
Doing the Power Cord Thing
For PC, I can see myself not spending much over 100 to 200 per cord. Truth be known its carrying power and I personally believe like mentioned above u change one thing for another.  Really the change in sound is personal preference.  As far as me ...
