Hi, I have an Emotiva XPA-2. It's rated at 300 real wats per channel. Make sure that you have the slow-blow type of fuses that are the correct type. My speakers came with the fast blowing type and poped when I turned it up loud. Love the base and there is no better performance for the money with both.

Well I haven't heard the Yorkville LS801P Powered Subwoofer so I cant really say which is better. All I can tell you is the Cerwin Vega power and punch compared to many out there in the market. I would recommend you to go to a store where they have both and try them out and make your best choice.

Dear John,Great integrated amp and bookshelf speakers. I like the way you think! This will be an excellent match. Please let me know if I can be of any additional assistance.Regards,Eric CohenWorld Wide Stereo

I just got the Emotiva XPA-5 to drive M70 fronts, CS2 center, and M60 surrounds. The difference over my Onkyo TX-NR808 is quite amazing! If you're on a budget the XPA-5 is a good choice. If you have a lot more to spend I'd look at Adcom, Sunfire, and Parasound equipment. I haven't listened to them but from what I've read you won't be let down. I still think the Emotiva XPA-5 is one of the most underrated products on the market. For the money, it's an excellent option. 5 year warranty gives peace of mind.

I am running a Yamaha RXV-871 (similar to your Onkyo), a UPA-200,and UPA-500. I am also running large floor standing polk audio rti-a7's similar to yours. What I can tell you is that while my yamaha on its own was doing the job it was working vary hard to do so. The large speakers are vary demanding. The Emotiva amps are easily achieving that level of performance and more with little to no effort. As for weather or not it will rock your room; I haven't had the nerve to push it that far. Although I suspect the speakers will give up before the amps do!!!

If this is for a home sound system, you only need one sub. Two does nothing except muddy the bass. The CVA-118x is a stage bass, it is VERY powerful, possibly too much for home audio use. I have one in my home theater, it is plenty, it rattles everything and about blows the glass out!! Yes, it wants power- I put mine on a dedicated 20 amp circuit because I popped the breaker on a 15amp. All is happy now. For stage use I use two. Each on a separate breaker.

I was wondering the same thing. It's a shame onkyo doesn't list compatible stands on their website. I've been searching and not finding anything. I just got my system and will take it out of the box and see what we are looking at. Do you ever find anything usefull for mounting or just stands?

Hi Tyler, If the Cerwin Vega XLS 28s are powered subwoofers, then you don't need to feed them all that power compared to if your subwoofers were passive (none powered), then you can connect the power amp to feed them. Providing the pair w/ 210 watts rms a piece. And yes, you can use your Sony receiver as a pre-amp using Pre-Outs or Tape Outs. Hope this helps.

I just glanced at my card and it appears to run the VIA VT6306 chipset. I've only used it for DV capture, so I can't state whether it will work well with an audio interface.

Both. I'm using with an Onkyo TX-NR 717 and it has made it as good as a top on the line AV receiver that costs 5-6K. I was so impressed with the Emotiva product I bought their 1800 Watt model which costs $1600. This should make my set-up far more powerful and with much better fidelity than any stand alone AV receiver -- regardless of the price.

I power 2 Cerwin Vega speakers that are 600w each and they work fine even at full power...

1. This AV receiver is made for multiple channels of speakers, and wpc drops with each set you add on. So just on basis of amplifier power the answer is look elsewhere. To get the most out of these speakers you need more power, and if you're only running one channel of speakers you don't need this receiver.2. As has been pointed out in many many reviews, Onkyo TX-NR xxx series of AV receivers have problems.

I'm no expert but I recommend Pioneer's 1300W amp. It will sound amazing with that!

A decent amp/av receiver -100 to 150 W per channel (to drive/process the audio from your source/tv to the speakers/acoustimass 6). I am using an old (7 years old) 100 W per channel av receiver. Speaker wires(from the amp/av reciever to the Acoustimass 6) are included in the Acoustimass 6. I am using toslink digital cable from the tv to the av receiver. I use rca from other audio source (pc, dvd. blu-ray etc.) to my old av receiver. I do not have the new connections (USB) for iPod/iPhone.

This is a preamp/processor, it has no amplifiers built in therefore 0 watts per channel. You need to hook this to an external power amplifier(s).

G'day TechnoTom,The Cerwin-Vega VE-5C 2-Way Center Channel is a great speaker for its value; it will run with no issues with your RXV 473.It is a little bright; but the vocal clarity is sweet. The Cerwin-Vega VE-5C has a peak of 150 watts; your RXV with 80 watts per channel can cope and it will be good enough.Good luck mate.Cheers

Baig, thanks for the thought on the speakers. I'm using a brand new Onkyo 7.1ch home theater set rated 130W per channel. On top of that, I've swapped in my old Polk Audio speakers for the fronts, which are rated 150W each. So power is not the issue!
