What I Can't Hear You

Bi-Amped Goodness!
I have these speakers being powered by the NR1605 and the MM7025. I have the NR1605 powering the HF terminals and the MM7025 going to the LF ones. This setup just sounds amazing. I was on the fence about this setup (2.1 vs 3.1 or greater) but decided I wanted to have a clean looking entertainment center but didn't want to compromise on two things...sound and power. These speakers fit the bill. They are rated to take what I am sending them and sound great. Even though my setup is a 2.1 it sounds great...I wouldn't change a thing.
The Marantz MM7025 2-Channel Power Amplifier features current feedback circuitry and a high-capacity power supply - the EI-core transformer and ensures distortion-free sonic reproduction of the most complex audio sources, be it dynamic musical peaks or whispered dialog. Measuring less than 14” deep from front panel to rear speaker terminals, this stereo power amp has a sophisticated and elegant industrial design. The chimney-shaped heat sink efficiently processes the heat emitted from each side of the amp and a quiet cooling fan removes the heat from the chassis, cooling the inside. A high-sensitivity temperature sensor IC is used to control the cooling fan's rotation speed to minimize noise. This unit is equipped with a remote power control function. The RCA Remote Control input is connected to the preamp and the output can be connected to other compatible Marantz components; CD player, DVD player, Tuner, etc.

I have this bi-amped with a NR1605 powering a pair of Bowers & Wilkins 683 S2s. Lets just say this is an awesome setup and I don't think I could be happier.
This amp was easy to setup and I was up and running as soon as I could connect everything. I have this amp powering the LF terminals on the 683 S2s and the NR1605 to the HF ones. This combo is awesome and sounds amazing. I also have my 10'' Mirage Sub hooked up and the entire setup goes well together.
Initially I was going to bi-wire my NR1605 but decided to go the bi-amp route with this amp. This provides a dedicated 140w to the LF of the 683 S2s while the NR1605 powers the HF side of things.
If you are bi-amping...make sure your speakers can handle it :)
What's great about it: Clean Awesome Power
What's not so great: Nothing
I would recommend this to a friend!

What It Lacks In Size It Makes Up For In Power

I have this bi-amped with a MM7025 powering a pair of Bowers & Wilkins 683 S2s. Lets just say this is an awesome setup and I don't think I could be happier.
This receiver is very easy to setup and I love the slim profile. This has everything, bluetooth, wifi, 4k the list goes on. Got an awkwardly long wifi password...pair it with your phone and your phone will set it up how cool is that?!? I cannot say enough about this receiver.
Setting it up with the MM7025 was a breeze also. I have the MM7025 going to the LF terminals on the 683 S2s and the receiver to the HF ones. This makes for some awesome power and these speakers shine. This setup almost can get away from requiring a sub...almost. I wanted moar so I hooked up my Mirage 10'' sub.
If you are on the fence about this receiver because of it's size, go to Best Buy and listen to it...you will be amazed.

I have enjoyed playing both the single and multiplayer campains of this game. The graphics are great too.
Enjoy the high-definition video of your favorite PlayStation 3 games as they were meant to be enjoyed by connecting your system to your compatible HDTV or home theater system with this HDMI cable. High-purity copper conductors ensure low resistance and high signal integrity, while 95% copper braid and dual-layer 100% aluminum Mylar foil shields resist external interference. Silver soldering and 24k gold plating combine for high-quality signal transfer, and the convenient smooth-fit insertion force allows the cable to fit into place without damage to connectors or devices.

Great Product, Great Price, Would Purchase Again

First off, branding it for PS3 basically only says it has the same color scheme as a PS3. My Best Buy was out of the "XBOX" branded ones (and I don't care about color) so I purchased this one. Works great, the build quality is comparable to Monster and I will be picking up another one.
What's great about it: Product Quality, Compares to Monster
Keep your GoPro HERO4 camera ready for use with this AHDBT-401 rechargeable battery, which features an 1160 mAh capacity for a long-lasting charge. Use as a spare or replacement battery to ensure plenty of power for your camera.

Required Accessory

Unfortunately, I haven't been able to snag a battery pack yet so I picked up a second battery. I was a little bummed that the life isn't as good as the prior model but it is what it is I guess. If you are getting the new GoPro4, pick up one or two of these to keep with ya.

Had to try about four different stores in my area before I finally found one.

Can this cable be used with an xbox 360?
I use it for mine so..yep. Techy answer is only if you have an HDMI version of the 360.
