I have been battling a severe lightheadedness issue where I felt like I was going to pass out several times a day for the last several months. I am finally starting to feel like myself again and the illness is diminishing.

I learned something throughout this experience. I had to have a hearing test and found that a flat frequency response would not suit me (or anyone else for that matter). When I looked at the results of the test it was up and down all over the place as much as +/- 20 db. This doesn't mean I don't believe in the room correction I have performed and I think it did wonders with ringing and slap echos as well as providing much stronger bass and cleaner sound all around. I am just suggesting that before anyone tries to get totally flat response, perhaps they should have a comprehensive hearing test.

I finally have the energy to start playing around with my HT setup again. I have the Emotiva LPA-1 amp currently and am quite impressed with it in 5-channel operation. With all 7-channels, however, I am getting a buzzing that is audible from my seating position. I am going to try and rewire my speakers with 12-guage wire and reroute them away from the flourescent lights in my room. I will note, I have no buzzing with the pair of Outlaw 755 amps I am currently using. The Emotiva LMC-1 should be on its way soon. At that time, I will perform another shootout with the 990 vs. LMC-1. I will use both amps (Outlaw and Emotiva) during this shootout as well.
