I’m just learning that if I use the pre out for the sub, the pre and main have to be coupled. I had it wrong.

Everything seems to work again now - not sure what the issue was, Random. I wired everything the same. I’m suspicious that there’s a weak contact or something inside that’s acting up every so often. I may still getting it checked at some point...

Audiophile system with Yamaha core and wired main and wireless remotes
Hey, thank you, deep_333, I didn;t see your post earlier.  That's encouraging. But 8 or 15 grand are way over what I'd like to spend on speakers – at least for now.

Uh, that’s far! But thank you, Rich. Maybe a day trip on a weekend sometime in the future.  Meanwhile my backup, a Nikko 1219, will be on duty. if anyone knows of a closer option, I’d appreciate it.

There's definitely a serious issue with the R-2000. After cleaning, deOxit, re-wiring speakers, using different speaker channels, different sources, even radio... no sound whatsoever. It's dead. Why?! If you know of anyone in the New York area w...

Maybe I am the only one here having this issue? Or maybe there’s no good solution for this problem? That sucks! It’s the second speaker that doesn’t work for me (the KEF LSX gen-1 was definitely worse though). I may try a powered USB hub (more ge... 
Compact powered remotes
I guess I’ll take that standby/auto on business to a separate thread   
Compact powered remotes
I hooked the Wiim Mini up to the M20 via 3.5 mm Line out to 3.5 mm Aux in. Almost done. But: The M20 has an auto-standby function that kicks in after 20 min inactivity (apparently EU market requirement) - smart but annoying. It would be tolerable... 
Compact powered remotes
I ended up getting a pair of used Q Acoustics M20 for a god price.  Now it's about setting it up as soon as I can carve out enough time.  The plan for now is to have the Wiim Pro+ serve as intake for all sources (music services, TT and CD), with ... 
Compact powered remotes
Thank you, CDC. The Aurender is nice, I'm sure. But for now I don't want to spend that kind of money for rear remotes, specially since they will be placed slightly elevated, not too far from the kitchen – it will get some grease and dust (not a lo...
