My audio system cost me ten k back in 1999

I wouldn't want the 130lb speakers to be toppled and fall on them twins.

130 pounds? Mine weigh 80lbs a piece and I thought mine were huge. LOL

Thing you can do when you are single :awe:

Mine are 50" tall, too. LOL

Well mine have 15" sub built in, with 500w plate amp

THAT'S why they weigh 130 pounds!

And being skinny they are not rock steady.

Mine are very stable. A little kid is not going to knock them over. Check out the guy in the other thread looking at the cheapo receivers. I'm not telling anyone how to spend their money, but I spend more on a CPU than they guy wants to spend on the heart of his audio system.

Shrug, people have different priorities.

I totally agree. Who am I to tell someone else how to spend their money? However, you should to decide what you want and then look for price, not the other way around. Too many compromises for me.

Thing with the new receivers is their amp stage are utter crap. Especially they only tell you thd of one or two channel driven, not all channel.

True. My old Denon has 7 discrete amps. Each one will put out its rated output. That's why the thing is so damn heavy. Built like a tank. But it doesn't have HDMI, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi. I manage to get by.

Well most of the weight is heat sink. Not the most efficient power wise. That is why I like the class D's

May decide to build one. From modules of course.

500w @8ohm x 5 sounds fun :awe:

Not that my outlaw 750 is lacking in power of course.

No. My Denon does not have an enormous heat sink. It does have a fan though that is very quiet. The majority of the massive weight is made up of a huge power transformer, the largest I've seen in a HT receiver. To be fair, I'm not saying that I own the best equipment. It was a compromise for my budget.
