| Can speakers be tested? Rodman: You nailed it, they rattle. So assuming the glue has come unglued, what can be done about it? They're an older model MG 1.6 (fronts) MG CC2 (center) and I think they're obsolete.Even if they could be repaired, would it be worth it? | |
| Seeking AV preamp for Emotiva XPR-5 Yakbob:I bought the NR515 at less than a lot of places are selling it for so I'm going to try for the $300 I paid. It's absolutely brand new, never had a current through it.RW:The UMC-1 looks fine but when I talked to the sales dude at Emotiva and... | |
| Seeking AV preamp for Emotiva XPR-5 I think I've answered my own question:Onkyo TX-NR717 or higher model has the necessary pre-outs. So does my Rotel 1065 but that model doesn't support anything digital.Thanks - rev | |
| Hooking everything up for the first time This is such miserable news! I've waited months to have this stuff shipped down to Mexico via friends because other shipping methods aren't reliable. It's going to be months to ship it back again and get the right thing. Maybe Amazon will still ta... | |
| Hooking everything up for the first time If I'm not using Line Outs, the only way left is to connect each speaker OUT on the receiver to the corresponding speaker IN on the amp via the screw down posts. The ones that have a hole in the post.If that's true(?) I'd have to cut one end off t... | |
| Hooking everything up for the first time >using the pre-amp in the receiver to feed the power amp?Yes. I'm guessing 'regular IC' is an input connector? I don't have any or know what they are, I didn't think of that when I bought the stuff. Can I not use big fat speaker cable? | |
| Can I mix ohms in a surround system? Cool. What about setup or configuring - do I have to switch anything or it just doesn't care? | |
| Can I make a sub from two three-ways? OK, thanks, just a thought. I'll get a sub.rev | |
| How would I navigate? I've settled for the Onkyo TX-NR515 AV Receiver. It reads a flash drive, the display of tracks appears on the front panel and you can navigate with the remote control.Almost everything I wanted, I wanted the same but for external hard drives - but... | |
| How would I navigate? From the web:-------------The iPod Competitors.Basically: none.In the last 5 years all the iPod competitors have been beaten, frustrated and ridiculed.In fact, in the study of the highly successful Apple Marketing Strategy, besides its overwhelmin... | |
| How would I navigate? Martykl:Thanks. I don't know the specific unit yet either. I'm looking at Onkyo or Pioneer home receivers in the $500 range.Denon claims that their front USB port will read HDDs but there are conditions: Not all drives will be recognized, Media Tr... | |

| What do I need to run my maggies? Thanks Theo:>your electrician will need to upgrade that circuit to 20 How does he do that? Do I have to concern myself with the watts and volts? I'm in Mexico and Mexican electricians don't have to pass a test of any kind :) They work from a me... | |
| What do I need to run my maggies? Thanks to all! Internetmin: You were right, the load dips and a that requires a lot of transient capacitance. I found out what that term meant and then pretended I knew all along.I talked with a dude at Emotiva and we concluded that the XPR-5 does... |
