So let me get this straight- you have a Panny, a JVC, and you've ordered a Kenwood! Dmason will be proud! Funnily enough I too was wondering how it'd work to use two digital receivers as power amps. That would be a cheap way to biamp all five speakers! Although maybe not an easy way....
Ears,What does the JVC xover at? I know the lowest the Panny goes is 100hz.
Well that XO point helps!Do not know what I will consider for my next Digital amp,but I like to see things that did not show up in the panny and other models addressed. Thx!
That was a cool test, Ears! Glad you were able to shirk chores for science Could be that the 'hybrid' nature of the JVC gives up a little of the bass impact/wallop all digi amps seem to have, yet blend in better hi frequency response An area of deficiency that the digi amps all seem to tend to.As Steve at Empirical Audio told me a few times (he mods them all, you know); you can't get an amp with stellar highs and great bass all in one. His reference is solid state (modded JC-1's), ye ...
This bi amping idea is pretty neat; my concern is whether or not you can assume that the volume increase curve with the two receivers would be in a linear fashion. The timbre of the speakers would change along with the volume as I understand it. Best of both worlds.
-Alan Gouger, over at AVS is going to be trying the strda 9000es in the next few weeks and give his opinion. This will be the absolute first opinion of the 9000, I have heard or read about, from somone who is not selling the big Sonys.
Ears, that is an interesting experiment.Like you said earlier, if both the receivers were the same, that would be much easier to do. There might be some differences in jitter in two separate digital connections, but that should not be very different.The XR50 has a A-B speaker setting which can be switched on to handle probably lower impedence loads. Steve@Empirical Audio thinks the XR45 has very high output impedence. So maybe, adding some wires, changing the inductors etc will help. Definitely a mod wo ...

Anyone who was at the CES last Jan got to hear that Rec. in the Polk Audio room.It's power supply and output transistiors are diff. from the rest of the ES line. And a HUGE price diff. to boot.
EARZThanks for the response as I feel for the cutoff should not be used anyway. It is better to bypass using it and just have all the speakers to use their total range and set the sub to match their low cutoff point.My main speaker's go to about 35Hz-3db and will need a sub to blend at that point or there about.That is what I tink anyway!
