So I did minimal research after seeing the $ for these. So are they mainly for noise, popping, etc.? I noticed you are a Master electrician, I know enough to get me in trouble, lol. Do you have instructions for building and installing one of these, and is it something I could do? I have seen...

Yeah under your circumstances I 100% agree.

Just one 20 amp breaker for the 12 outlets, but like a say know problem to add more if needed. I wouldn't even mess with inspection for running your 240. The way I feel is it is none of there business what I do in my own home!

I just did this 20 amp service with commercial/hospital grade outlets to my equipment. It is in the bsmt and not hard to run more if ever needed. lol

Yeah I read that, and I don't know if I ever will but nice to know you can. I like the looks of it, and think it will drive my 3 HTM's quite well! Like Matt said they can handle big power.

Well I think I am going to pull the trigger on a new Emotiva XPA-3. I didn't realize the gen 3's were rated at 275 watts per channel and are upgradable to at least 7 channels if not more down the road. Do you know of any better deals on these? https://emotiva.com/product/xpa-3-gen3/ Alan

Little to high tech for me, lol.

Hello Matt what do you think about a B&K 200.7 amplifier? Also you recommended Emotiva amps. Are the gen 1's okay like the XPA-3?

Thanks Matt So as per REW 101 the peaks above -20 should be addressed. All 3 of my front speakers exhibit almost the same peaks. I'm not seeing very many above -20, in the measurement that I posted, am I correct about that? I actually did the string trick last night and it worked. The peak...

I have a ETC measurement where I am checking reflections. I don't know why it is reading negative numbers at a suspect point of -15 and 7ms that reads -9.62. In the REW guide it has an example reading at point of -15 and 5ms that reads 6.1ft. EDIT: I figured it out I was dragging between two...

Yeah it is hot on the bottom, I have Cinema EQ applied and it boosts it like that. With it off it is pretty much flat all the way across. Same with me I just started this a month ago from scratch, been doing a lot of reading. lol

Thanks! 2 DIY ported 460HO's driven by Inuke 6000 and 2 sealed PA460's driven by Inuke 3000

Okay I figured out why the center channel was measuring so hot. I had checked dialog level adjust and it was set at 0db, no gain, nor defeat, but just the fact it was turned on it was boosting the center. I had assumed that since it was set at 0db it wasn't causing the problem. New measurements...

Yes Audyssey set them pretty much the same. Audyssey actually set the center 2db lower then left and right. It would be nice if someone else with Denon X4300 could check for the same. I have been very happy with the HTM's. If you don't mind me asking what speakers are you running? I am looking...

Yeah I am thinking that is what may be going on. It is a new Denon X4300 and it happens with or without Audyssey applied. Someone at another site thought that this was a issue but maybe designed that way. What do you think my measurements disregarding the center being a little hotter?
