Will this be hiss free? I had one after the red dots were released and it was terrible, I love all the features of the 950 but want to make sure I'll be hiss free with this set-up, any idea's

Happily, it looks like it is now safe to pair a 950 up with Acurus amps and Klipsh horns.

Can someone with this combo or something close possibly fill me in? Thanks gonk, but I don't want to have to return another one. I have KLF-30 Mains 102db sensative and I'm using two Acurus A200x3 amps.

CBall- I now have 1 A200 and 1 A200x5. The hiss with the red dot 950 I originally had with those 2 amps was identical to the 2 A200x3's I had before that.

With the blue dot 950, the hiss level dropped by 3/4's.

With the 30 day trial, I say take a chance. I also believe that the dude Scott Grissom had Acurus with Klipsch. He might be a guy to check with.

CBall - I have two Acurus A200x3 and one A200 driving KLF 20 mains, KLF C7 center and 4 RS-7s. I had the first hiss fix unit originally and noticed hiss 10 feet out into my room. After receiving the new Blue Dot version, the hiss is at best 1 foot out and not audible at all during normal play. I even think the hiss has reduced some since breaking in the blue dot. I know the sound is far superior than the bright sound I got from my Yamaha 2095, which by the way I loved. That shows how much I like the 950.

Go for it and please post a follow up to your experience.

Scott

Thanks Kevin and Scott, Scott are you using all your amps? I see that's 8 channels of amplification, just curious. Hopefully after I get my tax return I can order one again. by the way I have KLF-30 mains C-7 front and rear centers,KSP-S6 surrounds and dual 20-39CS+ subs.

Yeah, I have an extra channel to play with in the future. Just worked out that way as I was aquiring my amps. I do like having the multiple power supplies however.

Good luck, sounds like you will have a rockin' system with the 950.

Scott, an overhead "envelope" channel someday?

Personally, I draw the line at 7.1...

(My wife: "Kevin, why do you now have 4 speakers in the back of the room?" "Because honey, more is *always* better!")

I don't have the Acurus ampage, but I do have Klipsch speakers all around, with my mains being the KLF30's. I have the latest 950, purchased just 3 weeks ago and I have had no hiss problems, it sounds fantastic. BTW, my amps are Parasound and B&K.

Thanks for all the replies, JAMMINJC you have no hiss at all with your 30's?? If that's the case then I'm impressed and looking forward to my tax return so I can order another 950
