    PA subs are often not suitable for home/hi-fi use, because they don't reach into the lowest octave or two.  They're not intended for accurate sound reproduction in a quiet living room, they're designed to get everyone dancing/pogoing/swaying, etc.  The lack of extreme bottom end is intentional, because in live sound applications, with unpredictable audience numbers and locations in a club setting (some on the dance floor/mosh pit, some at the tables or bar), the lowest bass notes just muddy up the sound, rather than conveying pleasantly and accurately what the artist is doing.  Even if the subs in the concert system can go very low, the sound person will usually roll off the deepest bass, in order to keep the sound clean and clear.

     

    Information worth repeating.

    AT&T brought some fiber optic line down my road....came halfway down, turned uphill to a new "subdivision" (a location that went from two houses to four houses. 

    Any word on an extension to your house?

    Now I have an extra hole in the top that I wish was not there.

    They make nickel or chrome plated sink plugs/caps in smaller sizes.

    You can cover the hole with one if so desired...you may have to enlarge the diameter of the hole to fit the cap being they only get so small. Or a dummy screw if you have clearance.

    Use a really good looking bolt head and it will appear like it has a reason for being there. 😄

    ... when you compare a real analog recording with a MoFi digital processing. If no one can distinguish it, then it becomes just a legal problem ... when it comes to the question of the truth of the product's claim.

     

    This case may prove that people will hear what they want to hear, until they find out it is not what they thought it was.

    if it is possible with this speakers of course.

     

    Depends on how loud you play them during your parties. I would get some extra speaker wire, remove the metal jumper strips from the speaker binding posts and passive bi-amp your speakers and Denon system. Perform the Audyssey set-up with the microphone on a tripod in the middle of the room. Then I would use the Denon EQ menu to boost the bass. This can be done for the price of some inexpensive speaker wire.

     

    You didn't say if you have a subwoofer, so you may want to buy a GOOD subwoofer for less money than a new amplifier and you will then have a great party system.

    One way to get around that IEC cutting out is to do what Maynard just told me he does. From his pen:   I get around the IEC socket dilemma by using a hard wired cord and strain relief.

    I usually prefer a hard wired power cord. The only benefit I get from the IEC cord is to swap out different lenghts, but I don't even do that.

    I've got my stuff in a closet (which is next to garage).  It has louvered doors on the front so SOME air can get in there....  I've thought about how to get heat out but, it doesn't seem to be a major issue as I usually have doors open when in use...

    My equipment was previously in a closet with an open front and back. I had a quiet little fan in the closet. Just a small draft to stir the air around the amps is very helpful to reduce hot spots.
