is it possible to connect a subwoofer to Crown XLS amps?
will be used as an integrated amp to drive Magnepan LRS'the amp actually has built dsp crossover functionality Well, yes, but your comment above seems to indicate that you wanted to use the Crown to "power" the sub.  You didn't really explain wh... 
is it possible to connect a subwoofer to Crown XLS amps?
Hmmm.  Yes, this amp, as well as several other Crown amps, do have DSP.  However, this is only a two channel amp.  If you look at page 8 of the manual, you will see that one amp can be configured to do a crossover between Output Channel 1 and Outp... 
is it possible to connect a subwoofer to Crown XLS amps?
Okay, I can see some areas for confusion here that will require clarification. Which scenario are you asking about:1. Use the Crown amp for main left/right speakers and also connect it to a subwoofer with built-in amp. If this is the case, then el... 
Popular new/used SS stereo power amps under $2500?
agile/fast and warm/musical are extremely hard to do.  Especially when you msit "fast" with "warm".  Warm sounding amps will actually be a little slower.That being said, I think the Rotel RB-1590 is about your best bet for everything you listed.  ... 
Something For The Fuse Guys ...
It's unfortunate that threads like this are always brought down by the same people and the same negative arguments.  Nobody can have a constructive discussion on this topic. 
Something For The Fuse Guys ...
Hmmmm, I'm going to guess that it might be Furutech, since they recently discontinued production of their fantastic rhodium fuses.  It would make sense that they were planning an upgraded/better product.  I couldn't believe that fuse is going away... 
Something For The Fuse Guys ...
Like Frank said, the number of fuses depends on equipment manufacturer/designer.  Most equipment will have one fuse on the A/C mains input.  Some designers will load their equipment with fuses both before and after the transformer.  Example would ... 
PS Audio for Home-Theater
Five amps plug a projector into any power re-generator would be way too much, even for P10.  You -might- get away with two amps, but that's still a heck of a lot of current. 
Meridian G68 and MiniDSP
Ah, you did not explain what you were trying to accomplish.  The Meridian G68 is a HT processor just like the Marantz 7701.  However, the G68 also has digital outputs with communication outputs.  Generally, digital outputs are full volume signals ... 
Meridian G68 and MiniDSP
the Meridian G68 digital outputs are proprietary and are meant to be conected to Meridian active loudspeakers.  In addition to the digital signal, they require a secondary communications link that probably does things such as control volume.The Mi... 
Paean to a Fuse (and a tip of the hat to Chris Van Haus)
I’m not saying that it sounds bad. I’m just saying that when compared to other fuses, the gold-plated copper will give a warmth of sound with rolled off highs. It could be that the components in your system are working very well with with this Cu ... 
Paean to a Fuse (and a tip of the hat to Chris Van Haus)
the Hi-Fi Tuning "Cu" fuse is a gold-plated copper fuse.  It would impart a full/warm type of sound with rolled off highs.  Generally, this fuse is much better than most stock fuses, unless the amp/preamp is voiced so much on the warm side (like M... 
Which power cords help ameliorate digital glare/grain/digititus?
After testing with bunch of different power cable configurations, the idea that a power cable is "designed for digital" is pretty much a misnomer in my opinion.  I keep telling people that solid-core conductors win in all cases, whether it's digit... 
Emotiva separates or Yamaha AVR recommendation?
A word about bi-amping from receivers.  In my experience, not every receiver will "bi-amp" in the same way.  Some receivers will output the same signal on both bi-amp outputs.  However, some other receivers will do a weird signal comparison. They ... 
Emotiva separates or Yamaha AVR recommendation?
I don't think much matters until you have the same LCR speakers. You might get better sound with just L&R with phantom center. Mismatches ruin the soundstage. Very true.
