    This was my favorite bit. I don't have a signature, but I'm considering using this.
    Everywhere. Even on my work email.
    you have to buy a very power amplifier to keep cool the amplifier of your receivers
    I disabled signatures.

    I might use it to replace: "regal donkey guitar solos speak craftly across the bonus coal mine shenanigans after Tuesday."

    Indeed.

    "The first one to decide ohms is the Receiver, the second are the speakers." (a quote from a friend of my dad, Ph.D. in Physics and Electric Engineer, who worked for Nasa for 12 years...)"

    I mean... huh?
    I wasnt aware that Ohm's Law was decision based. I guess that's why NASA (or Nasa, as the case may be) wasn't interested in my resume...

    All I'm saying is why did he only supposedly work there for 12 years and not 13 years? Clearly he couldn't cut the mustard.

    Maybe his math was wrong and he's in Davey Jones locker.....

    The RTi A7s & especially the A9s do better w/separate power. Either the Rotel RB 980BX* or RB981* would drive ‘7s well.

    For the ‘A9s: that depends upon your music and volume tastes. Each* has a 200W/ch big brother: RB990 or RB991

    Avoid Rotel preamps: I’ve read from many sources, they don’t match the SQ of their power amps

    My 2 cents
    Samsung 60" QN65Q7FAMFXZA QLED, Outlaw Audio 976 Pre/Pro, Samsung BDP, Amazon Firestick, Phillips CD Changer

    Canare 14 ga - LCR tweeters inside*; Ctr Ch outside
    BJC 10 ga - LCR mids “Foamed” & “Plugged**”, inside* & out
    8 ga Powerline: LR woofers, inside* & out
    *soldered **Rob the Man (Xschop)

    LR: Tri-amped RTi A7 w/Rotels*. Woofers - 980BX; Tweets & Mids - RB981*
    Ctr Ch: Rotel RB981* -> Bi-amped CSi A6
    Surrounds: Rotel 981* -> AR 12 ga -> RTi A3
    *all connected w/Premiere ICs
    5 Subs: Sunfire True SW Signature -> LFE & Ctr Ch; 4 Audio Pro Evidence @ the “Corners”

    Power Conditioning & Distribution:
    4 dedicated 20A feeds; APC H15; 5 Furman Miniport 20s

    Was this even real???? A first post to revive a 5 year old thread?? The "friend of my dad, a PHD...." quote was as bad as the line from Conan...."My sisters cousins brother broke out of prison there"
