I am thinking a reciever would be about the same price as an amp. I just hope i get the same amount of power from a reciever as i wil get from buying just an amp. I got to look up the specs on the speakers to see which reciever would be best. Any one of the yamaha's i listed would probably work fine. I am leaning towards the reciever as long as i don't have to sacrifice any power for other features such as reading cd's and such.

You will want a total of 2 towers.....that is, if you enjoy stereo sound atleast.

That will be cool. I am looking forward to doing this. I just hope I can find a good reciever that will power both the towers.

I wouldn't spend close to $1k on a receiver either //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

1k in seperates FTW

Is it bad to have a overlap between my sub and my midbass woofers?

The Yamaha Recievers have a adjustable cross over point for the sub output, which means you can play around with where it over laps and find the sweet spot. With my DM330i's I ran it at about 120Hz now with the 703's it's down to 110Hz, BTW I run an EQ in line with my sub to tune the lowend better...

Building your own speaker shouldn't be easy, because if it is you're not learning or figuring anything out...

Agreed, btw I could possibly maybe be looking to sell my Yamaha reciever. The reason being I want one of the new Rotel RSX-1067 which is over $1k lol....

Does it have an adjustable xover for the speakers or just the sub?

FTW = for the win, slang for being really killer //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

When I mentioned seperates, I'm talking about a seperate preamplifier and power amp, as opposed to an integrated amp that has those in one box. And a receiver is nothing more than an integrated amp with an AM/FM tuner built inside as well.

Breaking them up into seperate pieces of equipment gives you tons more flexibility in system configurations, but the price skyrockets as well //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Most likely not, fully active systems are relatively rare in two channel home audio. Except for someone like Thylantyr who likes to drain the Western Hemisphere of electrical power to run his line arrays //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/naughty.gif.94359f346c0f1259df8038d60b41863e.gif//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/tongue.gif.6130eb82179565f6db8d26d6001dcd24.gif

Come on Jim, you know everyone needs dedicated 100A 220v breakers for their audio setup....//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

No just for the sub out, which is all you really need. And the amp inside of the Yamaha Recievers is a good amp so atleast for now you don't have to worry about an amp for the full range speakers....

HAHA FTW i knew. It was just the seperate part of it.

Draining the hemisphere with his line arrays.hahaha

Let me know if you are getting rid of that yamaha reciever you have. I can just pick up one of the other ones, but if you want to work something out we may be able to.

Hmmm I should but I shouldn't but then again it would be sweet to have that Rotel.... Let me think about a price and how much I really want to get rid of it....
