looks to be a good price atleast but I am wondering what everyone else is… WHERE ARE THE SPEAKERS???
this is a 5 channel amp w/ an am/fm tuner and a cd/dvd player. No speakers.
it is a cd player,tuner, input selector + a 5 x100w amps, the sound comes from your speakers
dang! this stuff is expensive retail
These puppies are not speakers - you still need those. Probably coming tomorrow. Yipee
Sound quality, after all, is a matter of taste. You may enjoy the HX500’s mellow tone.
normally $400-700
took 3
I just like Kayla’s last name, but come-on where did the extra “L” go in McDougall???
it’s a 1 bit DAC. Not a i bit CPU.
That looks pretty darn cool. The specs aren’t that impressive but I haven’t seen a receiver constructed like that before. I like it.
Seems like it’d be really cool if you wanted to (for example) install some speakers in a master bathroom or a room with a hot tub or something like that where getting things on the wall and out of the way would be a plus.
Dang…seriously, I just bought a new stereo yesterday… I SO would have gotten one of these.
I had 24 bit DAC in my car in 1999, why does this product boast 1 bit DAC?
For home audio, high-quality 1-bit D/A’s or A/D’s are actually a good thing. By using some fun tricks, you can use a single D/A or A/D to get high quality results with less noise because of fewer noisy components. If you’re interested, check out the Wikipedia article regarding 1-bit delta-sigma modulators.
Output Power Total: 500 watts (100W x 5) 4 ohms @ 1 kHzc IS peak . Want links for 5000 watts peak. Worry about a constant or RMS to audionuts.
Splice the speakers 1/2 to drop to a lower “ohm” thus wattage will double. Will 2x the heat, with more bass. lol
Got my fosgate (amp @ 1) and solos (custom @ 2) down to 1 ohm … BOOM!
could you use wireless speakers?
What the heck is this thing?
