Anthem AVM 60 full range front and sub doesn't work
I did that.. I set the L/R crossover to OFF but the sub never gets a signal.. I have upgraded to the latest firmware too.  As soon as I set the front L/R to 40hz, then the sub gets the signal to turn on.  I've tried several times in different ways... 
Legacy Focus plug rear ports?
Also, while it might "sound fine" initially, I wondered if I'm doing anything sinful and detrimental to the overall engineering of the speaker... or is it just a matter of taste?    
Legacy Focus plug rear ports?
Anyone else tried plugging the ports in the back?  I know a lot of rear ported speakers come with foam plugs. Yes I could try it, but lugging them upstairs will be quite a task so I'd like to hear some opinions before making this move.  
Receiver with subwoofer level buttons?
@lonemountain  My point was 90% of the buttons are useless for 99% of the people using these things.  Why not change some of these useless buttons to levels/phase/polarity/xover etc... Things we all should be using. Most of us love tinkering for ... 
Receiver with subwoofer level buttons?
@soix I have SVS subs and their app and i do love the app (except it won't link multiple subs together). This system is for everything from kids Disney, to my youtube, youtube tv, to serious two channel listening/rocking so it's nice to have bett... 
Rant: PSA to builders, housewives, and general complaint
@kennyc yeah you're right it's costly but many modern homes don't allow much wiggle room for this, not without damaging the overall value of the home.  Many times there are staircases or other obstacles or it's already an open concept to begin wit...

@whart yeah we had a couple of days under 100deg and it felt great with no humidity! Anyway, my angst about the fireplace isn't so much with mounting the tv too high, it's the total lack of options it allows.. No place for my "spread" if you will... 
Rant: PSA to builders, housewives, and general complaint
@whart  currently in the Dallas area. Considering moving to Atlanta or maybe Nashville but it's really the same story there.  Same cookie cutter style that my wife loves.  We have young kids so we don't have the luxury of living just anywhere base... 
Rant: PSA to builders, housewives, and general complaint
@yesiam_a_pirate agree!  I'm not anti fireplace, just anti most $400k-900k homes build the fireplace right in the main entertainment spot of the house, right where my system should go forcing me to work around it where it's totally unused 99.9% of...

@mhemusic thanks and great suggestion for getting the screen to a lower level but that still doesn't do anything for my media cabinet, wires, center channel, possible short throw projector.   I love having my main system in the main living area b... 
Rant: PSA to builders, housewives, and general complaint
@gdnrbob  True and good point. But generally there are about 5 days in the winter where the effort and mess of a fireplace are potentially worth it.  
What Horn loaded speaker/ speaker system for $10k'ish and under
Ha why won't you buy black?  just wondering.   What about the Klipsch Cornwall?  To me, it's the best of all worlds. Or the Forte IV which i find phenomenal.   With your budget, you can buy a set of Cornwalls/Fortes and something else and swap ... 
Anyone here tweak any Legacy Focus speakers?
Bump to this thread.  I just got my first pair of Focus speakers and wow am I impressed!  I would say almost too much bass!  I've moved them out about 4 ft from the rear wall to help.  My room also has a major upper bass node that can make things ... 
B&W line up
@hifineubee you're saying the D4 series has that much better bass response over the D3 series?  Driver and cabinet wise, they appear pretty much identical. I'm not sure how they squeezed that much more bass out of them but kudos.. It was said abo... 
B&W line up
Thanks jasonbourne71 ha.. At least those naming conventions are different and a completely different line.   I'm sure it's not an issue for those of you who've been around for 50+ years and watched all these iterations released, but going back in...
