| floor standing speakers for surrounds? Do you have graphs with your package? Do you have ARC or Audyssey? Regardless, where is it cutting off your Surrounds for crossover settings? | |
| floor standing speakers for surrounds? If the issue is a "fuller" sound then that is a speaker setup issue and not a crossover issue--especially if you are getting good bass at the primary listening position. Are the distances/delays and volume all calibrated properly and if you have r... | |
| home theater processor suggestions? The balanced/XLR connection is great at noise rejection. If you are doing longer runs, balanced connections are the way to go. If you have very short runs from your processor to the amp, then you will be just fine with RCA (unbalanced) runs. Picki... | |
| floor standing speakers for surrounds? Baranowski, I'm getting the sense that you really want floor standing speakers for surrounds. If I'm getting that sense correctly, then go for it. There's no question that deeper bass will be more uniform in the room, crossover will be far lower, ... | |
| home theater processor suggestions? Baranowski, Anthem, Marantz, and Integra are the likely units for you to narrow down to. The Anthem out of the box has the best room correction. The Integra will be on par if you upgrade to Audyssey pro. Marantz has the older Audyssey. I haven't s... | |
| how to connect a passive sub to my av reciever If your Onkyo has a "B" set of speakers posts then connect the sub to the "B" binding posts. That will send the full range to the sub and set the passive sub's crossover manually as you will get the full range from there. If you have zone2 it is t... | |
| Recommendation for new 5-ch Amp What is it that you don't like about your current amp? The amp is just one part of the entire system chain. If you can't identify what you like or don't like you'll have the upgrade itch forever. With any recommendations, you're just buying a bran... | |
| Whole house re-wiring question My 2 cents echo a few things:1) if it's a good, licensed and competent electrician it's just fine. 2) what is the apples to apples price quote between the two? They should give you a similar time quote for the job. Electricians should be $75-$90 a... | |
| floor standing speakers for surrounds? I missed the note where you said you were using it for the fronts too. That's why I found it odd that you were relegating it to a side channel amp. I didn't know if you were using mono blocks, etc. | |
| floor standing speakers for surrounds? Side channels with the anthem. Rear channels are far less important. The P5 is a very nice amp. I assume you have a better amp for your fronts? Finally, Star Wars Episode III opening scene is a great test for your surround channels and to make sur... | |
| Marantz SR6006 HDMI switching problem Very odd indeed. Did you contact Marantz tech support?Have you tried dices connecting all HDMI devices and then trying one at a time. It sounds like you have some debugging to do between the sources and the Marantz. HDMI stinks and has problems. S... | |
| Deep, musical, in-wall subwoofer There are a number of reputable vendors that make great in wall systems and subs. I don't recall if they go down to 20HZ but try Wisdom and Paradigm and Triad to begin with. There are some other companies that I've come across that I can try to re... | |
| floor standing speakers for surrounds? Mtrot is right with one addition, the crossover depends most on where your sub and fronts blend best. With music you generally want the speakers to run as full range as possible an with movies you want to supplement 80hz and below or 60hz and belo... | |
| floor standing speakers for surrounds? BaranowskiIf you have a receiver or preamp with room correction then start with that. I've been using Anthem gear for years. The ARC system crossed over my fronts at 60 and my surrounds at 110hz. That has to do more with the room response with the... | |
| Multi-Format players of yesteryear, vs. Now James,There is something to be said about quality gear and the sum being greater than the parts. It sounds like you love the Pioneer. The best advice in my opinion is to order the Oppo direct from OppoDigital (I think there is a 30 day money back)... |
