Class D Ncore Atsah in the house
I've used various switching amplifiers since PS Audio introduced the $1500. HCA-2. The HCA-2 forced me to upgrade my homes VAC which turned out to improve everything not just audio and video. Until recently, switching amplifiers have remained reas... 
emotiva mono block amps any good?
"Any good" covers a lot of ground. If you don't mind how and where it's manufactured for the sake of unexplainable low cost, then you'll be in a large fan club.You'll be able to wallow in countless positive owner reviews that wax on about fabulous... 
High End Audio-Gaining Higher Ground?
I too echo Response34. On the other hand, if you want to really feel like a duck out of water you've got to check out 1-2-3-4 GO Records (mostly LPs) on 40th Street in Oakland CA, They sell mostly Heavy Metal, Punk, and other genre I'd rather not ... 
Subwoofer: should we even use them at all?
Should we? Should you, should I? Answers: No. Maybe, absolutely. Is there any other audio subject that is so subjective and fraught with as many room, system, and media, variables as extra low frequency reproduction?If there's ELF on the recording...

The Emotiva Challenge
Bob Carver proved he could voice an amplifier to match the presentation any other amplifier including exaggerated bass output. I think its fair to say that we all have our own sonic priorities when it comes to amplification and speaker selection.I... 
7.1 speaker placement
There's no substitute for evenly spaced speakers at ear level and a minimum of room correction. Even with my smallish home theater space, I would never go back to 5.1.In my experience the key to decent 7.1 is matching speakers (no dipole surrounds...
