Just checking in; any update on whether the Prodigy pair are still available for purchase?

I'm powering a pair of Aerius i with XPA-1 Gen monoblocks. I'm not having any issues besides the speakers being too bass shy.

I agree, Leporello. I talked with Martin Logan about this topic, and they disagreed. Also, many Magenpan users use differential amps to power their setups with no issues. I also think about scores of end users that utilize differential amplifiers from PS Audio and ATI Pure Balanced designs. I...

During the warranty period, did you converse with Emotiva and send the unit in for repair? I'm considering the Emotiva RMC-1, Anthem AVM90, and the Arcam AV41, so I understand your desire to make the right next move.

Reviewers Spec of Tech, KPace Guy, and several others had reviewed the Anthem AVM 70. All of them reported issues and had complained about the Anthem releasing the product before it was ready. That said, we shouldn't single out Emotiva for having had bugs in their product because several big...

Rich, I am not sure if you missed what I said in sentence three intentionally or unintentionally? Here's what I said, "No one can say factually that a sealed sub, adequately designed, with proper amplification will not deliver. "I never questioned whether ported subs produce more extension and...

Bdh55, What's influencing you to move from amps designed by the legendary John Curl in favor of the Anthem amp. I ask because arguably, the Parasound is a better-designed product.

Rich, I caution you against speaking absolute terms. How is sealed not the way to go for movies specifically? No one can say factually that a sealed sub, adequately designed, with proper amplification will not deliver. I ask because, since the age of 17, I have preferred the sound of sealed...

Exactly, Brazillnut! What's the point of spending $16,499.98/pair for speakers "designed" to run full range and not run them full range? Not only is it a waste, but it's also pure nonsense.

According to who? John Hunter of REL disagrees.

ttocs, Thank you for the response. DLBC is why I’m leaning toward the Arcam AV 40. On the flip side, it doesn’t have balanced analog inputs. I could probably live with that. Knowing that I’m going to use multiple REL subs influences my desire for DLBC.

Hey ttocs, What has been your experience with the XMC-2 and running more than two subs? I ask because I am considering upgrading from the MC-700 to either the XMC-2, RMC-1L, or Arcam AV40/41. I like the AV40 because of the four assignable inputs that can be used for subs. Plus, I like that...

Considering the frequency response capability of the 13As, it wouldn't make sense to set them to anything other than "Large" because the setting is not about the speakers' size; instead, it's about the loudspeakers' frequencies received and played back. Does that make sense?

What influenced you to move away from the two Parasound amps to one Anthem amp?

What has been your experience with the stacked S/812s? Is your setup 2 channels only or is it also used for home theater?
