The 80 Hz XO point is commonly used to keep voices from being played through the subwoofer. Above that and you can get male voice in the sub. Nobody wants to hear voices coming out of the subwoofer. -

The website says ONE year warranty, which is consistent with other A4L refurbs that I've seen. That unit is a Marantz factory refurb. There is an option for purchasing a 2 year extended warranty (two years total) for 50 bucks. It's not free shipping, but shipping looks pretty reasonable.

That's a good question for sure. I have the pro amps, and have heard many people's consumer versions that are designed for quiet use etc. I did a bit of research before moving forward. The INUKE amps are usually used in HT for subs, but many people and lots of DJ types use them for their main speakers. The issue with the INUKE amps is you can't use them at 2 or 4ohms and get flat response from 20 to 20khz. The roll off in the high end. The 8 ohm output though is flat past 20khz, and digs plenty low as we know from using them with subs. So that was the one concern I had that I was able to address after reading enough and finding some bench tests people did at 8 Ohms. Distortion was excellent also and under 0.1% range up through most of its output. The INUKE has DSP, which could be accomodated with a consumer amp with a miniDSP, if desired. The consumer amps have dead quiet fans, and that is a very nice feature. What happens when you add an external amp? In my opinion, if you listen at medium high volume or higher, you will notice a dramatic difference in the "attack" of sounds i.e. instruments, sound effects and explosions. I believe I can hear better separation of instruments and sounds. The difference is definitely big enough that it is instantly noticeable. That is just my experience. I could easily see many people adding external amps and noticing no difference...it would depend really upon how loud you listen and what content. It is important enough imo that it warrants serious consideration. I don't think there's any real reason to get an INUKE for this and would steer towards consumer. In my particular case, I built MBMs to sit on the floor by the mains to achieve flatter response in the mid-bass, and to integrate with the mains requires DSP delays...so it was either this setup, or consumer with a miniDSP. I could switch and may some day, but see no reason to now. -
What is your sub budget, and how much room do you have? What I'm getting at is there is a DIY solution that features a pair of 18's with an Inuke 6000 w/dsp for about $1100. Eighteen is the new fifteen.

I can't tell anyone what they will like. The SC 99 does have some special filters to change the sound to a more warm sound, tube like and others. I have not used these filters and can't say how good they are. Pioneer is not about warm sound or other sound, it is like the old Yamaha, just a pure natural sound. -
How well does a pro amp work for your mains? I've no doubt that it provides the power, but i'd wonder how it compares to more home theater/audiophile oriented amps in other parameters. -
