The first thing you said is confusing but I’m trying to understand what your saying. Wouldn’t I just hook it up to my avr. What would be the advantage of that? Also I would prefer to use my power amp. Your right it looks like it only has unbalanced inputs.

Well I bought a parasound a31 and it sound the balanced will sound best but not all receivers will have be able to run balanced. So your telling me I will have to run the power amp unbalanced through the mrx720? What’s the difference from balanced and unbalanced, and will it effect the sound quality? I will also be listening to music probably more often than movies.

Does the anthem mrx 720 avr have inputs or outputs for unbalanced or balanced or both for a power amp. Trying to figure out how this works?

Instead of getting the used one, I’m thinking of just getting the brand new one for 25% off then I’m only paying like 400$ more.

Thank you for all the help, I wonder where he lives. He dealer that next to me I get the a31 down to about 2080$. It’s about 2 years old and there 3 years left on the warranty and they are in very good condition. I think I’m gonna stick with the a31 with my guy unless something sticks out at me. I wonder if I should not even worry about getting the a31 to not power the center channel. I ended up getting an anthem mrx720. I wondering if I should just get a 2 channel power amp or if I should go with the three channel or if my center channel really needs that extra power. I’m guessing I should just do it..

Hey guys I have a question. So I’m getting the parasound a31. Say I’m only running my left and right channels into that 3 channel power amp. Since I’m only running two channels instead of three will it actually power those two channels with more power than if I was to run all three. And are there any other advantages to this?

What’s his number kind sir?

Ok I see. Thank you kind sir

I called and talked to someone about nad and they told me that they have like sold there company or something and they have just been all over the place or something along those lines. It would just be harder for me to get a bad than it would for me to get an anthem.

Good to hear. I’d s pre amp the same thing as a power amp? Is the pre amp an anthem pre amp or something?

Anyone ever own a anthem receiver? I’ve heard they have amazing sound quality and room correction is the best and I’m starting to get pretty sold on them. What do you guys think. I know they are not user friendly tho..

How do you guys think a parasound a31 would pair up with a pair of rf7 iii. Will run it in stereo mode and also run it with the rc64iii. Also thinking about the an anthem receiver, how is anthem?

So I think I’m gonna go with an anthem receiver. I heard they are not user friendly at all but I also heard that the sound quality is totally worth it! They are quite expensive tho.

I’m acually thinking about going with the Captivator 4000ulf because I like the deep bass extension of it. The orbital shift subwoofer the jtr makes are crazy intense and the dbs they can push at around 100 frequency range is insane around and over 130 is awesome. But I just like the capability of the low end extension and the ability for a sub to really dig deeper into those lower frequencies and do it powerfully!

what is a dayton?

I’m acually thinking about returning this subwoofer and going balls to the wall like youthman and getting the jtr captivator s2. What do you guys think about that decision and about a subwoofer like that and about a subwoofer like that for that kind of money?

Yes very very good customer support. I talked to a customer support representative the other day and he was on the phone with me for about a half an hour and we were comparing frequency response from a website for the PB16 and the SB 16 we were just going back-and-forth to see which one had the better frequency response at each frequency. It was pretty cool that he would do that for me so I wouldn’t have to go back and forth from each website. I also had some more detailed questions he sent up to the higher ups for me which is nice. as he put it they are not a cross there t’s and dot there I’s type of company and said if I needed more time for my in home trial they would give it to me and so on and so forth.

No they were brand new. I just went back up to the store and got my old cord. I also called svs customer support and told them my problem and they sent my out and extra cord free of charge.

Same here

Finally got it working and got it in my room. Just flopped it down in the first corner of the room that I thought it would sound good and haven’t used any microphones or dialed it in and man. I loved my klipsch sub but holy shit. This thing is just on a whole different level. This thing is actually absolutely amazing. It’s so f’ing crazy and the sound quality it astonishing and the power and the frequency range is amazing. I had never experienced a subwoofer that can go subsonic and let me tell you this thing can go subsonic. The pb16 is an underhung voice cool opposed to the sb16 which uses a overhung coil and they both have there pros and cons and the sb is suppose to be better for music because of its better performance in its upper frequency range and better Efficiency and just suppose to be cleaner I guess you can say. But tbh the pb16 outperforms the sb16 in all frequency’s except when you start getting to about 80hz I believe and it’s only by like 1 or 2 dB and other than the the pb puts out more power by like 10 db and I believe there thd is about the same but I think the pb might be less at some frequency’s and vis versa with the sb. Also the underhung coil is suppose to put out less distortion but Everyone has there own opinion and I’ve heard with people that really know what they are talking about don’t recommend underhung voicecoils but some of the best performing speakers out there implement that coil. They both have there pros and cons but I guess what I’m getting at is this subwoofer is freaking amazing and it’s so clean and beautiful sounding and doesn’t sound boomy even though I just threw it in the first spot I saw. I’m sure after messing with all the equalizers in the app and fine tuning the placement of it and when I find the sweet spot this thing is gonna give me a heart attack out of pure love lol. This is an amazing subwoofer and imo worth every bit of the 2000$. I bought it through a dealer and got a good deal on it. It really rocks your socks and it’s amazing and I could go on and on and I have only begun to scratch the surface of this thing. It really had quality sounding bass in all the frequency ranges, from the little I’ve tested it out. Also it’s pretty amazing because it’s the best if both worlds when it comes to HT and music because it has the ports that you can plug or party plug or leave open and it helps the performance for which ever situation you want. It’s a pretty astonishing subwoofer in the aspect that no other companies have done what they have done with the three ports and the ease of Access with the app to the best of my knowledge. I know there’s other subs out there to outperform this thing for less money supposedly but they all have there pros and cons and this thing is quality and who Ever buys it I don’t think would be disappointed. Thanks guys for the help. Keep ok rockin.

No, the first one I bought had huge scratches on the left side. So they ordered me a new one which I picked up today and gave them back the scratched up one to only find out they gave me the wrong cord. I think it’s a cord for Europe or something. So I only have one kind sir.

I want great impeccable quality performance with great warranty. Thanks for the suggestion I wonder if they have any quality woofers there. Ima look into it. Just looked into them, I don’t think they have what I’m looking for but thank you. Not expensive enough lol.

So I just got my new svs Pb16 ultra because the first one came with three huge scratches on the left side of it. Now that I got the new one it came with a wrong cord. I’m just kind of fed up with svs and don’t know what to do at this point. My room is 13 by 15 with about 8 foot ceiling and a hall that extends to the bathroom that makes It like 13 by 23. It’s confusing I know I’m not good with measurements. I’m gonna call and complain to svs maybe I can get some money off or something I doubt it. I already got the sub for 500$ off which I thought was a very good deal. Any other good sub recommendations you guys could throw at me. I know there are some other subs out there for the same amount of money if not less that will outperform the pb16 but I just felt like it was well suited for me and was quite convenient. I don’t really wanna spend over 2000$ or much over 2000$ But am open to suggestions. I like a sub that can really dig down to those low frequencies. And before this sub I have the sw112. Will it be ok to run both of those subs at the same time it would it limit the pb16, just curious? And have yet to really be able to test this pb16 bad boy out in a suitable room with some suitable music and now I guess I’m gonna have to wait longer. Thanks guys.

I see a max spl at 125 dB at 1 meter so I don’t know but that could be wrong.

If I have a 3 channel power amp and say I only use that power amp to power two speaker from time to time at that point in time will the power amp be putting out more power to those two speakers than it would if I was doing it to all three or is it the same, how does it work if one was to do this and are there any negative things to doing this?
