well that brings me comfort. i was only doing it because i was using 16 gauge cable and whats recommended mostly is 12 gauge. so i figure if i bi wire them, thats more copper transfering the signal

okay this is what i was thinking ... Bi Wire RF82s to channels A and B... AL front goes into left Hi... AR goes into right high, and BL front goes into left woofer... BR goes into right woofer. So i guess the only thing i would be doing different is not slpising the cables as ive see many thread recommend to do. So i would use channels A and B together for the RF-82s since im using small 16 gauge cable. that should make the rf-82's sound better. also i would get the xpa-2 from emotiva http://emotiva.com/xpa2.shtm and have that power my 2 front rf-83's from the pre out of my receiver... ????

Okay, hear me out guys. I've always, always ran a 4 front system since 1994. I always, always loved having two larger fronts on channel A and two smaller fronts on channel B and a in recent years ive added a sub woofer for more base. Thats how ive always listened to music. 4 good fronts and a sub woofer, with the front speakers spread out, 2ch stereo Im wanting to run another 4 front setup with this marantz but im unble to do it how i used to because if i run the rf-83's on channel A and the rf-82's on channel B, thats only going to be 62.5 watts going to each speaker. so what i was considering doing is getting a 250 watt amp... 125 per channel and running a pre out signal out of the receiver into it to power the rf 83's. that way i would have 125 watts going to all 4 speakers. is this the best way to do it if i want 4 fronts and a .1 sub for music while maintaining my 7.1 setup for movies? i was talking to a guy at klipsch and he recommended that i buy a 4ch amp at around 250 watts per channel and put all the front speaker on it. how does that sound?

for some reason, i thought it had something to do with speaker seperation. the rf82 comes with a L and R for the tweeter and a L and R for the woofers... and i was think you were supposed to seperate them for some reason

This pretty much graphically explains how to bi wire my floor standing speakers http://www.brilliancehifi.co.uk/how-to-bi-wire-speakers.htm but the rc-62 center channel only has one positive and negetive connecter, so how would i bi wire it?

got it... thanks guys, i think i will bi wire... im hoping for audiable improvement

I explained bi-wiring in another thread of yours. okay... ill see if i can find it

yep, i grew up in houston and i go there pretty much 10 to 20 times a week. im an aggie, and stay in college station. were u at? i grew up in willowbrook

im less than 20 fee on each speaker, so is the monster 16 gauge thx certified speaker wire okay to keep? Should be fine. You have enough wire that you could bi-wire and see if you hear a difference if you're curious. what is bi wiring? and if i bi wire, can i just keep it that way?

kinda wish i had asked now before i bought the monster cable. looks like i paid twice as much. will i get an audiable difference between 16 14 and 12 guage wire, wired less than 20 feet per speaker?

i think its 16 gauge, is that bad? i didnt notice it was 16 gauge, maybe i should have gotten this instead... http://www.amazon.com/Ultra-Thx%C2%BF-600-Speaker-Cable/dp/B000FON3IM 14 gauge thx

Is 100 ft of monster speaker wire for 27 bucks a decent price or did I get ripped off

there are like.... DVD's on that list, so when he says that a DVD can really show what a widescreen can do, im wondering what he's talking about

is the monster speakerwire not that good compared to what monoprice has?

i craveeee the loudness.. [li][6][8o|] volume 2/3's up, i want my speakers thumping. i wish there was such a way

thanks guys... im thinking about the MX-6000 Touchscreen. you can control iTunes from it and its just way to cool

what does all this biamping do?

i bought this 100 foot of monster cable for about 27 bucks http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00008VF91/ref=ox_ya_oh_product

okay, u guys are scaring me. whats this about not getting software or needing updateable software. i dont understand. im pretty sure now that i want a URC remote. but whats all the software caution about?

has anyone had any experience or second hand knowlege about brands from universalremote.com? http://www.universalremote.com/consumer/products.php

thanks tom, that was very good information. and youthman... that 1100 looks delicious. i definately have some researching to do now.

it doesnt say that its RF, so wouldnt i have to really aim it to work it? i like looking at buttons with the remote pointed at the ceiling when i use it. once i went RF, i havnt been the same man i used to be. i got lazy

yes true that. its the best thing ive ever owned next to my bmw and samsung lcd... it certainly has set the bar very high. next time i will probably go the seperates route and look into get something real top knotch from their reference series.

I was concidering one of these awhile back but lost the idea http://www.universalremote.com/consumer/products.php but thaddeus mentioned the harmony and brought it back to life. how do these compare. i want a really fancy remote that can do back flips and operate the hubble telescope from my bed room. really though, i need something fancy enough to be very flexible and expandable to control lighting in the future. can you guys point me in the right direction.
