Need suggestions on efficient book shelf speakers for a Pass Labs XA3.5
I had a 150 watt class d amp previously and remember it being much louder at an 8/10 volume (using same speakers) .  The amp is at a pleasant volume as it stands but it seems capped to my ears -volume wise. I have a Benchmark 2 Pre/Dac and a Blues...

HDMI vs 7.1-channel analogue outputs
So if the digital signal is passed out of the source/dvd via hdmi, does the processing just take place at the AVR level?  As long as the the AVR has decent processing I wonder if the main issue with HMDI is additional signal noise with a longer pa...

It’s a Modwright KWA SE.  It has a high bias and low bias switch.  I have it set on high bias.

@erik_squires Thanks Eric.  I checked and they are in place.  I will just need to disconnect the subs for a period of time and check that next.

@jjss49 I know how to phase my subwoofers.  This is in regards to the mains.  The subwoofer set up was  in question due to the heat I am experiencing -which is likely not the cause based on some of this feedback.  I switched the speaker polarity b...
