Speaker Recommendation Needed
"I am not even sure I need to fill up a large room. I just want to be able to turn it up occasionally so it plays into the kitchen."The further you are away from the speakers, the more you must turn it up for a perceived volume. Also, speaker sens...

"Many women have great hearing."As a general rule, women have better hearing than men. 
Why do you give bad advice?
Thanks jl35, an excellent example, and yes, I have seen a stated budget, then responses like, what's your budget or as you say, a recommendation way over the budget.Guess I wish everyone would just take the time to read and make a sensible respons... 
Speaker Recommendation Needed
"I am surprised that efficiency is an issue since the amp puts out plenty of power."Having plenty of power is not the problem. Trying to play an inefficient small speaker full range at high volume will result in high distortion in the bass. It's j... 
Speaker Recommendation Needed
Yes, efficiency is a problem due to how the OP wants to play them occasionally. See his previous post. Trying to play a higher volume in his room size with an inefficient small speaker is not advisable unless it has a high pass signal. Without the... 
Speaker Recommendation Needed
Measured sensitivity from Stereophile: Wharfedale Jade 3     - 83.5db KEF LS50                   - 84.5db Dynaudio Excite X14 - 83dbAll of these inefficient small speakers will have the problem discussed in your previous post. You should either ma... 
subwoofer crossover- lowest is best almost always?
Too many factors affect where the crossover should be. IMHO, any blanket statement is not valid. 
Can the KEF LS50 rock?
brimel1974,I'm sure the recommended connection from Rel is the best for the T5, however this has no effect on the main speakers. They are still playing full range and the issue remains. As I previously stated, with the current equipment, your only... 
Can the KEF LS50 rock?
I totally agree with Bob's excellent response."I would like to know how they perform with rock music and if any deficiencies would be cured by pairing a sub."Yes, the deficiencies would be cured by pairing a sub, but only with a high pass crossove... 
Need Help: What In My Home Electric System Killed the Sound?
Had any Trim or EQ adjustments been made on the C52? If so, they may have been reset to default if the electrician turned off power while doing his work. 
Why do so many sellers not show the back of components...???
Rears, backsides, etc do seam to be fashionable nowadays, so take that picture and show it!! 
Can I rig a home theater amp to run in wall speakers?
Here is an option that is very simple to use 4 channels of the Rotel.(Example only, quality should be same as interconnects used.) Use this type of Y adapter on each (L&R) of the SR5006’s main pre-outs. https://www.amazon.com/Hosa-YRA-104-Dual... 
Can I rig a home theater amp to run in wall speakers?
dtc, I agree with the idea of a mono due to no "sweet spot", however, IMHO, I would not just use a simple "Y" cable on the L&R pre-outs of the SR5006, main or Zone 2. This just shorts the 2 channels together, and may cause adverse effects. It ...

Maybe this applies,When you're dead, you don't know you're dead.It's only difficult for others.It's the same way when you're stupid. 
Can I rig a home theater amp to run in wall speakers?
Thanks Mark, and I have taken a look at the manual. Hopefully I can clarify some of the info provided by "dtc".Zone 2 - When using Zone 2 speaker output, 7.1 is not an option for HT, however when only using Zone 2 pre-outs, you can do 7.1 HT. Thes...
