| Replacing ARC SP-12 Appreciate the responses and the fact that you all like ARC and wouldn't change. The other item I failed to mention is that since the SP-12 does not have a line output, I've been using a split connector to use my Carver Subwoofer. Not really a big... | |
| Amp Hum *(1) Disconnect the input ics from the amp.Turn on the amp and check for hum through the speakers.I did this as well and still got hum, so I was pretty sure it was the amp itself. The caps were replace shortly after I bought it (used) back in the ... | |
| Single Sub Woofer for two separate systems? Cool | |
| Single Sub Woofer for two separate systems? Thanks Imhififan, I'll look into the Niles switch.Sounds like a good way to go. | |
| Single Sub Woofer for two separate systems? There are two outputs on the pre, one main and one tape but I don't believe the tape will work.Not really concerned about using the splitter on the main out. If there is a sound degradation from previous set-ups, I don't notice.Thanks, I may look ... | |
| Single Sub Woofer for two separate systems? Thanks all. Unfortunately my sub (Carver) does not have a single LFE input. Instructions say to use the Left Line Level input for a single cable to the AVR.The sub does have controls for a xover, phase, and sound level.It also has Speaker Level in... | |
| Single Sub Woofer for two separate systems? Keep the ARC music gear unplugged until use and then unplug the HT receiver when using the SW with the ARC set-up?or maybe keep the SW hooked to the ARC gear and only use the SW w/HT when watching movies or something worthwhile for bass. Don't rea... | |
| Subwoofer connection to older tube amp Hi, original poster here.Is it possible to use the same SW for an HT system and a separate audio system?Still have the ARC gear for audio and was thinking of using the same SW for the HT. Is it possible to connect a single SW RCA cable to my HT an... | |
| Bi-amping for HT Cool!Thanks a ton. | |
| Bi-amping for HT If my current Pioneer had pre-outs for the speakers then I'd be set but it only has the pre for Subwoofer.So just to clarify, I need a new HT receiver that has pre-outs for the front speakers(most current ones have pre-outs for all speakers). Conn... | |
| Bi-amping for HT OK, so I would need a new pre w/remote AND a new HT receiver w/pre-outs (my current Pioneer does not have speaker pre-outs). Hook-up the front speaker pre-outs from the new HT to the new pre-amp In's? That would give me complete remote for TV and ... | |
| Bi-amping for HT Yes, I have considered that but would still like to have the rear speakers for movies and sports. They do fill in nicely but just can't figure out how to keep the rears with the ARC 2 channel gear.I could go with a nice Marantz or other HT receive... | |
| Bi-amping for HT Thanks for the responses and yes I realize this is not bi-amping, my mistake. I'm just trying to incorporate the ARC 2 channel gear into a HT set-up.I understand Bdgregory's set-up recommendation but not sure that's a reasonable method given the m... | |
| Good musical HT AV/Receiver Thanks Tesseract, I looked at the Marantz SR6005 and it does show Pre-out for using an external amp. I may decide to go this way as I would like to still use the ARC for my fronts and could use the Marantz for the rears and SW.I assume that the AR... | |
| Good musical HT AV/Receiver One more thought: anyway to continue using my ARC D-90 that's two channel and hook into a newer pre-amp?I would like to keep the ARC for music but have the extra two channels in the back for TV and movies. |
