| Budget friendly receiver choice No. 2 Channel Audio, 5.1 channel video, and trying SACD 5.1 Audio. | |
| Budget friendly receiver choice Bought (used, with manuals, remote, dust cover, but NOT THE MICROPHONE) Onkyo TX-RX810. Just hooked up cd player (optical) and computer (25ft usb-c to Shiit, RCA to Onkyo). Just tried on CD (ripped losless) from player and computer, medium level. ... | |
| Perception and Watts: Doubling of power Back in the day we found that more speakers (specicially: tweeters) got killed by too SMALL amp that were clipping like crazy when playing louder, and the clipping sent huge amounts of watts to the tweeter. Most tweeters blow at 10W (just throwing... | |
| Room size definition When comparing speakers for large volume/room and NOT considering low bass (under say 50 Hz or even 80 Hz), what selection criteria from a design standpoint should be looked at? Midrange/high bass driver area (in in2)? Obviously, the 804 has ... | |
| Room size definition With respect to 'volume' of a room: how much of the volume "connected" through the 25 ft long open side should go into the equation? The room itself (25x15x19z) 7125 ft3. The volume connected through 25 long and 19 high 'open wall' is that siz... | |
| Room size definition curiousjim: the bass (below 50 Hz) is not of concern to me; I already have that covered to my satisfaction. I am only concerned with the somewhat smallish amount of air the KEF can move in 50-150 range. | |
| B&W Nautilus 804 - bi amping Glad to here that this is not a crazy idea of mine. I will first try to drive the B&W 604 with my 4 channels of my Onkyo TX-RZ810 (output test showed around 180w/8ohm/260W/4ohm, 2 channels driven) for simplicity reason. If the low impediance ... | |
| Budget friendly receiver choice Found some actual output test results for my Onkyo TX-RZ810; 2 channels driven (still looking for multichannel numbers to better reflect bi amping). Source: | |
| Budget friendly receiver choice Currently have an Onkyo; surprised to hear that Onkyo (particularly older ones) would be worse than the other major brands (Yamaha, Sony, Denon, Pioneer, etc). There is always a risk. But compared to for example cars (where its not just age, but... | |
| KEF LS50 Meta I am yet to dive into 'small monitor' speakers, mostily driven by the addition of a 18" sub to my main system (which led me to select 'small' for my full size front speakers in the receiver settings). Currently trying to audition teh LS50 Meta. I ... | |
| Budget friendly receiver choice That goes with every purchase of a used item; can't have it both ways. And did not need (still not sure what is actually would do for me) HDMI 2.1. Or 8k for that matter (I still watch 95% in non 4k, so have likely a few years to even 'fill' the 4... | |
| Budget friendly receiver choice The Anthem MRX 710 slipped through my hands. I scored an Onkyo TX-RZ81, which seemed to fit my wish list. Have not hooked it up yet. Has bi amping (zone 2 amps used, selectable in menu), should have decent power (not sure how it handles low impe... | |
| Only two tracks to test your system, forever! chocaholic and richdirector: Was curious about the Hippo, so listened to it. Seems intriguing. How low does that bass play (in Hz). Now need to find myself a decent download of the tune (only listened on computer). Updated: ordered CD | |
| Onkyo TX-NR3009 vs Onkyo TX-RZ810 - how important is 4k passthrough and HDR10? Under what scenario do I need to use the '4k passthrough' and HDR of the receiver? Is that already needed when 'passing' the cable box HDMI signal to the TV (via receiver)? Or only if a source outside the cable box or TV (think Roku app) is used... | |
| Budget friendly receiver choice anotherbox, how did you 'manage' bi amping (what connections used) with the Onkyo TX NR6100? Looks fairly 'meager' connections (used to seeing 7 pre outs): |
