AV In Wall Rack - Recommendations
This is exactly what I want right here. Does anybody know where I can buy this insert? 
Hiss Noise From Internet Inputs Only
Unfortunately, I think you are correct with your first post. I think it has something to do with Netflix and YouTube since Tivo also controls my cable source with no sound at all. I use a netgear nighthawk but i don’t think it’s sensitive to movem... 
Bi-amp through receiver vs pre out to 2 channel for fronts
Right, I thought of this but I don’t want the fronts to be full range. For some reason, the Monitor Audio Gold 100s don’t seem to be performing as well as my silver in the mid range coming from the bookshelf woofer. Not sure if it’s because monito... 
AV Receiver with Integrated Amp - Sub Connections?
Thanks Soix,I have been thinking about it and it seems like what I am trying to do can easily be solved by a product of which few exist....An integrated amp with HT bypass AND bass management.  I did find one so far called the NAD M2, but it’s too... 
Bi-amp through receiver vs pre out to 2 channel for fronts
Also, If I have a receiver to an integrated, can I connect my powered sub to both of them since my sub has 2 rca input lines? This way I’m assuming I can have a sub playing with the integrated amp for just music. I don’t know if this will work tho... 
Bi-amp through receiver vs pre out to 2 channel for fronts
Guys, I assure you I am not a troll. I literally wrote a week ago and have only had time to go to one place and they hardly had anything as they concentrated on Marantz and McIntosh. I have two kids and a dog in training, work 10 hour days in a di...

Ok, so I have decided. I am buying the Atoll IN100 SE integrated amp with bypass brand new directly from France!  
Bi-amp through receiver vs pre out to 2 channel for fronts
Sorry guys, I’m still confused about one more thing. Until now, I thought HT Bypass was a button. I see now from looking at the Atoll that the HT bypass is actually RCA inputs on the integrated amp. I see it has the effect of bypassing the integra... 
Bi-amp through receiver vs pre out to 2 channel for fronts
Yep thanks I’ve been looking but it’s slim pickings right now. I am looking at this Atoll AV500 to connect to a processor. I’m going to focus on the HT system first. Then, I can put a switch box if I ever get a tube amp just for music. Will 85wpc ... 
Bi-amp through receiver vs pre out to 2 channel for fronts
Gotcha. All good advice. A couple amps being used by Monitor owners are Simaudio Moon, Roksan, and I believe maybe I saw a Belles. Moon and Roksan are very expensive and hard to find used. You guys may want to kill me, but my goal is mainly to hav... 
Bi-amp through receiver vs pre out to 2 channel for fronts
Yep! I’m using Monitor Audio Gold 100s. My Silvers have a nice neutral sound to them and now it feels like my receiver is underpowered for the Golds and the sound is not as neutral and smooth and certain highs and lows are popping out of nowhere w... 
Bi-amp through receiver vs pre out to 2 channel for fronts
I guess what I am asking is whether or not there is a 5 channel preamp that is as good as the pre amp in an integrated amp. That way, I could ditch the receiver and use a 5 channel pre amp and 5 channel amp for HT and Stereo that’s all around awes... 
Bi-amp through receiver vs pre out to 2 channel for fronts
sfcfran, I agree that this is a great thread. Although I’m sure elsewhere on a audiogon there are individual threads which focus on each element of it, you guys have taken a newbie like me through the entire thought process of the life cycle of ho... 
Bi-amp through receiver vs pre out to 2 channel for fronts
If I get an integrated amp without HT bypass, isn’t there a way to still control the volume all from the AV receiver? Somebody said something about using another line in or line out but I didn’t understand.

Soix and CTsooner, you guys are cracking me up. I like your bluntness.
