Great video! Of course they come out with a new BasX line now after I picked up six of the A700's and one A500 for my new theater. It doesn't really matter however, the old version will work just fine for me. I might pick up a couple of the new series to power aux subwoofers for smoothing out the room response. I ran wires for up to four per side but will wait to see how many I need before I buy the amplification for them.

I have a Basx five channel from before they redid the line, a lot of similarities, use it for my surround channels and run my 4700 in preamp mode, with a Parasound for left and right, no comparison to receiver amps, not to mention how cool my 4700 runs.

Great video, your channel is so great for insights! Can absolutely confirm.... I was powering 9 channels with the avr and with a relatively good one in a big open room is only okay. The receiver got really warm and the power notes in music and movies didn’t have the punch factor. The amount of “wake up” experienced after adding the external amp was very noticeable. I for real thought it was overkill until I tried it and now... never wanting to go back. Side note use a good preamp out cable whether xlr or rca... any noise in cheap cable will absolutely get amplified with an external amp... live and learn...

I’m sitting about 2 meters from my speakers and always have the volume at -30 dB from reference. I wan’t to expand my 7.1.2 setup with another 2 atmos speakers (also the Onkyo RZ50 when it releases), but therefore I need an external amplifier. These are the questions I have: 1. Would you recommend getting a 2-channel, 4-channel or 5-channel amplifier for my low listening volume? 2. Which affordable amplifier would you recommend, is the Emotiva BasX from this video any good and available in Europe? Really hope you can help me out! Thanks in advance

Hey Techno Dad. Hope all is well. I enjoy your videos and I have a question. I am currently running a Denon X4700H and added an Emotiva BasXA3 to the mix. I’m running SVS Prime Pinnacles for the front stage. Will adding more power than the A3 to the front stage have any real benefit. I listen to a lot of music and was wondering about more power for two channel listening.

Hi do you have a video that would suggest what av receiver can be paired with emotiva basX and in-depth how to calibrate and pair them.

@josephfranzen5626 2 жыл бұрын

I’m running an A3, an A6 and a Carver AV705 all off an Emo MC1. While the MC1 is buggy as hell as I’ve ordered a Denon x6700h as my previous Denon products were exponentially more stable, the EMO Q is amateur at best and once I read the mic can’t be stand mounted and they want you to hold it with your hand I completely ignored it and generated my own filters with REW. But for $897 shipped with a 10% military discount there isn’t a cheaper way to go full 7.4.6. Provided you have a MiniDSP or similar to add much needed PEQ for your subwoofers you’ll be fine. I add PEQ filters up to 500hz for all of my 13 channels and it sounds great, you do have to manually phase and time align them but again this isn’t an issue. That being said for out of the box performance using MultiEQ-X is much more stream lined but I also paid $2500 for my 6700h, literally almost 3 times what the MC1 cost. One thing I can give Emo is their amps and speakers are solid and an excellent value. I’m also running 6 Emotiva A1 height layer speakers and they’re phenomenal.

I have the marantz SR 7012 with klipsch RP800F, klipsch c404 centers . i have a rotel R985 running the center and surround (100watt a channel). Thinking of getting the emotiva A3 which has 150watts a channel to power the fronts and center. i have the fronts hooked up to the the marantz and front atmos only. Am i going to gain or hear a big diff with this amp?

Hi Techno Dad, I have a 5.2.2 setup and want to make it a 5.2.4 setup. Receiver is a 7.2 and want to make it a 9.2, can an external amp make this possible? Thank you.

Just purchased a rocket fish 12’ 8k “certified” ultra high speed cable from BB. I have a demon x6700h & Sony 75” x900h… only the 1 hdmi cord running through eArc on the whole system. I’m having intermediate audio dropouts (0.5 sec or less)during playback of what seems to be ANY source. I.e. local tv via antenna,apps on the tv & gaming. Bought this new cable, ran the internal denon cable test straight out of the box. (I have mixed reviews about that cable tester) but had a few various results off of 5 test. Not a cheap cable, thought this might fix the issue,but did not. Are you aware of concerns of their quality? How should I continue to work the prob of what’s causing the drop out?? (I have done all the normal steps,unplug,rerun setup menus on tv & receiver, the whole 9) … 🤦🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️…any advice is truly appreciated! Love the channel!!!

Thank you for showing how to hook up the cabling as well. Was on the fence for which to get, the basX A3 or A7. What RCA cables do you recommend to use to hook up from the basX A3 to your receiver? I have a Marantz SR5011. Thank you!

Hi Technodad, What do you recommend?> Outlaw after reviewing Emotiva? Please let me know, Thank you- as always!

@sumanvigrahala859 3 жыл бұрын

Looks like currently, BasX A3 is temporarily unavailable... so I looked into Outlaw 7000x & kind of debating/struggling to decide which one to buy? Either wait for A3 to power 3x140 or buy the Outlaw 7000x ? which can power 7 channels 7x130 Please advise, thanks!

Enjoyed your video on the Emotiva A3 . I have a question I hope you can provide some insight for me . My question is I have a Yamaha RX-A3080. I was hopping to use the preout to the center channel and two Klipsch Atmos speakers . However I don’t see anything labeled for Atmos on the preout section . What do I use . My second question is that the preouts look like it’s for connecting a left (white ) and right (red) cable to it. Do I use a “Y” connection cable? Thank you. Mike C

Hi Mike! With this kind of amplifier, I would connect it to your front stage to get the best possible experience. Connect Left, Center, Right RCAs to this amp. Let the A3080 power the rest.

Channa, I'm excited to see this unboxing and review of the BasX A3 as there aren't just that many reviews for 3-channel amplifiers. I've been debating between the A2 (two-channel) and the A3 (three-channel). Here's my question: If I only get the A2 can I "generally" assume the AVR itself put out more power to the remaining channels (especially the center channel) as it no longer needs to power the front left and right speakers?

@Youevl 3 жыл бұрын

Had the same question...got the A2 and I believe the rest of the channels on the AVR sound better and center ch is more clear.... I believe you do get more power to the rest of speakers connected to the AVR.

Hey techno dad. Does the Amp recognize the ohm load and adjust the power or there a setting on the Amp. Planning to use it with my polk r700

I have a dilemma I could use some advice with, I’m looking at buying the new emotiva basx amps. Now I don’t know what’s best for my setup, I’m going to be connecting them too the x4700 so do I go for the a7 for front stage and side/rear surround speakers plus the a4 for atmos. The concern I have there is the low wattage in the a7, because it’s less than my x4700. My speakers are 4ohms with a sensitivity of 86db. Or do I go for the a3 for front stage speakers plus add the a4 for my side/rear surrounds and leave the x4700 powering my atmos? I do want to go full pre amp mode and have all speakers powered by power amps but I’m not sure about the a7 being any better than my receiver. I don’t have a dedicated theatre room, my living room is where I have my setup. My front speakers are 4.5 meters away from my main listening position so will the a7 be enough. Any advice will be helpful before I take the plunge and make any purchases.

@robertschuster312 3 жыл бұрын

I run a 5.2.4 system so 9 channels. I have a Denon X3700h and want to power the 5 base level speakers, so i will prob get an A5, but if in the future if i decide to also get an external amp to power the atmos speakers, is it ok to just get two A5 even though i only need 9 channels. I like that the A3 has 140W, and A5 is only 95, but im guessing 95 is prob more than enough, if it is all channels driven.

Newbie Q. If my AVR does not have center preout and only have L/R , would center speaker be overpowered and/or weakened by L/R Channels by connecting A3?

@TechnoDad 3 жыл бұрын

Hi JRP! If you run your room correction again, it should balance things out a little, but...the center channel will have less power. The big question is, "will it be noticeable?" That is only something you can answer.
