Thanks for the replies. The good news is, as I continued to search around regarding this problem, I discovered the 2 button combination to reset the receiver, which I tried, which worked like a charm! All seems to be back to normal, and you're right, this is a situation that has been covered...

A power surge or lightning spike or something has damaged my Pioneer VSX-1014TX, so all you see on the display is the MCACC flashing. What I'm struggling with is, do I spend the money to have this repaired (no longer under warranty) or replace it with a newer model? I was more than happy with...

I'm using the Atlas 15 in an Adire Alignment ported enclosure, 214l, and couldn't be happier. Terrific performance!

Well, I'm going to try and sell these for him, and if they sell, I think he'll go for two of the Atlas 15's using his storage space as the enclosure.

Another vote for BlueJeans. A friend of mine just bought a 25' component cable from them, and it's a thing of beauty! I was very impressed with their quality for the price.

"If you've thrown some

That's what I was afraid of. What would be the best market for these? Audiogon, ebay. etc.? Any idea what he could use in the space I described? Would 2 Atlas 15's do a good job?

If you think it would only take me 5 minutes to model, you greatly overestimate my abilities!;) Seriously, I'm quite a novice. I downloaded WinISD Pro Alpha, and had trouble figuring it out. Kept getting an error when trying to save the parameters from my driver.

I'll take it! Unless you mean $200.00 plus shipping! BTW, I just got the 1014, and love it!

Paul, Are you familiar with Adire's plans? This sub is built exactly according to those plans, the only difference being the use of the Atlas instead of the Tempest. To what "worst case scenario" are you referring?

A friend has 4 JBL 2206 professional drivers, and wants to use them to build a sub for his FP theater. Is there any scenario where he can put these to good use, or is there no way these will go low enough? He has a wedge-shaped storage space to one side of his screen area that measures 116" deep...

Paul, My sub is built according to Adire's plans for the Tempest based Adire Alignment vented enclosure, which does call for two FP3 port kits. I've detected no port noise at all, and it goes very low. I'll be doing some measurements soon, and will post them when I do.

No problem, Paul. I'll email you this evening. Randy
