What kind of difference would I see using this with my Yamaha 775 and polk a9s?

This is a terrific unit at a great price- if you are upgrading from anything more than a few years old you will be very happy with this purchase-

I never compared it to a Bic F12, I have to a Polk Audio PSW110 though and the Yamaha kicks it's butt! I'm just going off my own experience with mine. I've owned it now for almost 3 years and I have never had a single issue with it and I've used it hard for everything from movies, digital music, car audio (used it as a subwoofer in my 08 Dodge Grand Caravan SXT utilizing the power inverter) and for use on my electronic drum set. I don't know if it's because it's a downward facing sub or what, but the Yamaha SW315 fills the room with deep thumping bass. I love it! It was given to me as a Christmas gift from my brother and it continues to be one of the best gifts I ever got. I'd be lost without it.

I can't tell you off the top of my head, but if you go to the Polk Audio website, you should be able to download the manual for this and see if the connections match up with your devices.

Get a yamaha or a denon. These are comparitvely priced and will not disappoint you. As far a speakers go with polk. Yes I know you friends are probably telling you bose - don't listen. Actually do listen, if the can hear side by side polk and bose played through a yamaha, denon or harmon karden you will wonder why boses were ever invented

The 775 has pre outs. If you have high wattage speakers then you can use an external amp to power them since most receivers these days don't supply enough power for anything other than entry level speakers.

Yeah, it will barely work, but ideally you want to drive it with something like an Emotiva XPA-2 to really help it hit its potential. I run my RTI A9s using that XPA-2 through the pre-amp output of a Yamaha RX-A2010BL 9.2-Channel and it sounds amazing. If you don't plan to upgrade to an auxillary amp like that, I'd say the RTI-A7 is a better fit. As others have said, the lack of power is much more noticeable in multichannel mode because the power per channel of your amp will not be 130w when you drive 5.1+ channels. BTW I am also running CSi-A6, F/XiA6, and a PowerSound Audio Sub XS-30.

I bought my TX-SR806 on 03/16/09 for 639.00. I was watching prices for awhile and finally dropped the hammer. It seems I finally made a good decision. I am now reading the manual. That is always fun. I ran the Audyssey set up and received no error messages, so I suppose it was done correctly. I am not really happy with the bass of my system. I bought a Polk RM95 5 pack and the PSW111 subwoofer. Still studying the Polk manual on subwoofer hook up. Charles

When I looked at the different models it seemed that the main difference was the number of inputs. If your only using it to play music you will only need one input, so I would say the smaller model would work for you. Just check to see if there's any difference in the power of the speakers.

YES...Just finished changing out my 771-A. It fits perfectly and cut the sound nicely. Well worth the upgrade.

Hi, I have my Emotiva UPA-700 connected to a Marantz SR6007 Home Theater AV Receiver. I felt that the sound is not louder, but it is clearer. I tested it to see if it was worth keeping the Emotiva. I felt it was worth it. Also, as an FYI - Since I have 4 ohm impedance Dynaudio speakers I decided to go with a separate amp to protect my receiver. The thing that surprised me the most was my volume level is at about the 2/3rd level. (With my earlier Yamaha receiver without any amp, it was usually at the 1/4th level).

Comparing the 2 setups? The Acoustimass sounds better Imo... I actually set up the Acoustimass 3 and added these 161's to the rear channel of the amp. Sounds great

My app is also Yamaha and it's pushing 115 watts per channel (RMS) and it does a great job. You should have a Pure Direct button on your app and if so they perform very nice under this mode. Hope this helps you out. They are the bomb.com speakers... JS.. love them!

I would think that you would hear a difference. The Infinity P363's are larger, more sensitive, and have a dedicated midrange for starters. I have five P363's in my large LR HT. I had two more for the mid's in a 7.1 system, but there was no easy way to wire them, so they were repurposed to my wife's office stereo. All seven were bought during $99-100 sales. My 5.1 HT is normally a 5.0 system as I seldom turn on the Polk sub... I have ten 6.5"woofers! I feel the P363's - @<$100 - are a great buy.

Hello... When matching speakers you want to get the specs close. Klipsch F-20, very nice speaker by the way. Frequency Response 38Hz-23KHz 3dB SENSITIVITY: 95.5dB @ 2.83V / 1m Polk Audio CS10 Center Frequency Response 53Hz-25kHz SENSITIVITY 91 dB The Klipsch will be a little louder then the Polk with a little wider frequency response. Your Yamaha receiver can adjust the center channels out put to blend in the center a little more so you can hear it. Also you want to look at the RMS watts. Polk is 125watts RMS. Klipsch is only 100watts RMS. Yamaha RX-V375 AV is 100watts per channel, 70watts RMS x 2 channel. So the out come, you should be fine. your mids and highs will be better with the Klipsch towers. You will have a little more lows from the Polk, but that could make the vocals from the center channel sound more natural. Also your receiver can adjust if you use the microphone to self adjust instead of doing it by ear. It will be fine.. Should sound good and I think you would be happy..

I have not noticed any difference. I initially had it connected with a Y splitter now just a single cable connected to the Left per the documentation. All is well and am extremely happy with the sound and performance of this sub.

The quick answer is "yes". How ever, I purchased this amp to allow me to "bi-amp" a set of Polk tower speakers (add some "punch" to my system). Connecting the amp to my Yamaha RX-A3020 and to the Polk towers, produced a low frequency hum. Assuming your sub would also be subject to this. I found out, this amp is made for commercial loudspeaker (clubs/disc jocks) where a low level hum is completely unnoticed. In a home theater/livingroom application, I don't think this is tolerable. It will work, if you don't mind the humm. I will sell you mine, cheap :-) ...used all of a couple of hours.
