Speaker hiss from sub
I haven’t, I’ve only run the Neutrik cables that came with the sub—I don’t have RCAs that will go far enough. I have wonder if running RCA from the pre would help but part of the advantage, theoretically, is to run directly from the amps. I have ...

Hiss goes away when I unplug the power for the subs but have them connected to the amps. It also goes away if the subs are powered but they are unplugged from the amp.  
7.1 surround test, MX121
Okay—think I understand now. Essentially there is little 7.1 actually available, so I tried Dolby EX tonight with a 5.1 blu ray and the rear speakers fired up. thanks for the help

Anthem AVM 60 vs McIntosh MX 122
I’m also considering having these options—wondering about the AVM 60 vs 70–most concerned about SQ

Parasound Halo A21 + NewClassic 2125 (Mono) VS A31 for L/C/R
I have A21 for my fronts and have a A31 coming for my center and sides. Using an old Marantz for the rears and processing. I’ll report in. A21 added much more bass depth, dynamics, and richness.
