Stealth 8 Power cord

[badronald]

Hello All,

I have a question for all you Stealth 6/8 owners out there. Was the supplied Power cord fairly thick? I just recently bought a pair of used stealth 8's, and the power cord is pretty thin, quite a bit thinner then my XMC-1's power cord. I was just wondering if they sent me just any old power cord. On a side note, being the stealths have no triggers, do you leave your stealth's on all the time, or do you reach around to the back all the time to switch on/off?

I have stealths in two rooms (8's in the BR, 6's at my computer desk) - in both cases I have them plugged into something else that turns them on (so I have the stealth switches in the "on" position at all times). At the PC, I have a Monoprice 8-outlet theater power center, which has both switched and unswitched outlets on the back. I push it's "on" button, and the 6's come on. In the BR, the 8's and a few other things are plugged into an Emo CMX-6 which is triggered on by a Belkin unit (I think it's the "Conserve"), which has a master plug (my TV in this case), and slave plugs including two that aren't switched, for continuous power. So, in that case when I turn on the TV, the stealth 8's come on, and power is also given to the Blu-ray player. The UMC-1 has continuous power.

In both of the above cases I'm not worried about limiting power to the stealth's. In the main theater/TV room, with Emo MPS-2 as the ampflier (and SVS subwoofer, self-powered), they go right to the wall (via CMX-6 again), so they get absolute full power available.
