Sonos surprise
The fact that the hiss/hum was audible at all just bugs me; and no, I couldn't hear it while listening to music.Oddly enough, I got my Emotiva XDA-1 in today. Although I don't have the proper cabling to hook everything up right yet, I did some pie... 
Sonos surprise
I have the ATV 2 and it has no analog outs. Strictly either HDMI or Toslink. I'm actually finding the Sonos to be more convenient than the ATV for adding music in my setup. With the NAS (sort of) setup, I just rip from a laptop that has the NAS as...

Is bi amping really a trade off?
Al, I really appreciate your taking the time. Like an idiot, I completely forgot about the crossover and the affect that it would have on the load, or its distribution. You really cleared things up for me and now I almost regret having posted. I c...
