Well I always thought balanced(xlr) was superior to unbalanced (rca).?? Am i wrong on this assumption.

If you need the noise supression, yeah.

That's why they're popular in pro audio...excellent EMI rejection. But at home, if you don't have it, you don't need it.

Oh ok....thanx man thats good to know since I'm going to be getting a multi channel amp eventually to take the place of my receiver. Well I'll use my receiver for processing but use the amp for the power and much later down the line get a high end pre/pro. So if I don't have to have balanced that would save alot of money. Can't wait.

I understand that no matter how well your speakers image you can never surpass 5 or 7 channels in surround mode with 2 speakers......get real. Digital surround is discrete, not matrixed (exception being the center surround on Dolby EX). Once you downmix the Dolby Digital or DTS signal to 2 channel you loose your discrete rear channel information and its all smudged into one mono channel. I seriously doubt you can hear surround information coming from behind you in a 2 channel stereo set up.

well i mean dude, we ain't talkin like star wars lasers comin over ur shoulder from behind, but a good set of towers should put u in the middle of the concert. thats what i be meanin //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
