    Nice new rig, looks great. You might want to tilt that center speaker down a bit.

    That Samsung 850 you got sucks :D

    Yes, the Samsung really sucks compared to the sound coming off that wall!!!! But, I had to go modest...

    Do you have that cabinet vented in back? Must get hot in there with that Emotiva and HK.

    Yes, I have no back on the cabinet.

    I *COULD* live without the Emo with these speakers, which would cut down heat a bit (remembering that I originally bought it for the RTiA9s, LOL) but it does add a little. Does it add $600 worth? I'm not sure about that yet...

    are you considering return emotiva XPA 5 amp? Would you please define "does add a little" are you hooking amp up right? Previous post you made in other thread stating that emotiva helped a lot in sound. was it for rti a9 before you changed your mind and went B/W?

    BTW, nice pics :D
    I am 100% BORN DEAF and No I am not kidding! :D Why am I here? My wife's hearing! :p

    The Emo makes a HUGE difference with the A9s. But the difference (other than volume) is small with the BW683s since they're much smaller (about half the size, but still fairly large). You have to *REALLY* listen to hear it. The HK receiver itself is VERY nice on it's own.
