Thanks for the speed reply Wayne Yesterday I listened to my stereo system till 11pm but still didn't sound good. Today I got up around 5am in the morning to listen to it again just for comparision. Sounded wonderful.... Seems I'll have to turn into Batman to enjoy my music from now on :)

Hello guys.... I just bought my stereo system and it consists of Diamond 9.1 bookshelf speaker and an cambridge audio integrated amp. I'm using a pioneer dvd player for the source (will upgrade to marantz cd player when financing permits) Spent around a week setting them up where most of...

I have a Sony STR-DB1070 reciever which is connected to a Cambridge Audio P500 power amp.I use the power amp to drive my hungry front speakers(as you guys know the sony reciever is under powered)and the remaining were driven by the Sony.Yesterday I took out the power amp from my setup and...

Do any of you guys with this subwoofer know the impedance and the sensitivity of woofer driver.I want to buy a better driver from one of those car audio shops and I just want to make sure I get a woofer that is easier to drive than the default one and am too lazy to open the subwoofer to see for...

I currently own a Sony STR-DB1070 receiver and a Cambridge Audio P500 2 channel power amp.I am currently using the power amp to drive my fronts and the remaining speakers are driven by the receiver.I want to add another power amp but don't know which way to go.I thought of getting the Rotel...

I'm just worried that the parasound needs so much power that these transformer might get too hot and burn up.I used to have a step-down transformer for my playstation and even that produced a lot of heat.

I would get a reciever with good bass managment and a lot of pre-outs.Currently I'm using a Sony STR-DB1070 as my pre/pro and using a cambridge audio power amp to drive my hungry fronts.The sony has one of the best bass mangments and 8 pre-outs which are gold plated.The sony costs about 600...

My brother is in the states and am wondering would it be a good idea for me to ask him to get one of those parasound 2 channel amps here.The problem is the voltage difference(in Malaysia its 240 Volts compared to US's 110 Volts).Would buying a transformer solve the problem or is there any way he...

It is dangerous to set them all to large being afraid the center and rear speaker wouldn't be able to handle the bass sent to them.If I were you I would set the front speaker to large while the others to small.It is safer this way.

I have an old pioneer pro-logic reciever.I am thinking of connecting it to my sony reciever by using the preouts on my sony(front L/R) going into the pioneer through the CD inputs.I want to use the pioneer to drive my fronts to lessen the burden on the sony.Would this work?

Is it a good idea to buy the rotel power amp and use it to drive my fronts?My reciever(STR-DB1070)just doesn't have the juice to push my fronts.Any suggestion is greatly appreciated.

I don't agree with GordonL.My reciever the STR-DB1070 got good reviews from What Hi-Fi and Home-entertainment(5 star).Neither one mentioned it being underpowered which is what it really is.Now I regret buying it and am now looking for a power amp to drive my fronts before they become more...

The problem is I'm living in Malaysia so delivering them would cost an arm and leg.The cheapest amp I can get here is the Rotel RB1050 which costs RM 2300(RM stands for ringgit malaysia. It is valued 3.8 the us dollar.)The rotel in us is $600 so if you times that with 3.8 you get 2280 with is...

Are power rating of power amps rated the same way as recievers?Are there any companys that lie about their power amp rating like Sony does with its recievers?

I think I just need a two channel amp for now to drive by large fronts.Currently I'm setting them to "small" and would prefer to set them to "large" since it sounds much better that way and my reciever doesn't have the power to drive them efficently.I'll just let the reciever handle the center...

I think my Sony STR-DB1070 reciever is under powered so before I damage my front speakers I think I should get a power amp.I am looking for anything with a rating of 100Watts X 2 or above for under $400.Any help here would be hot....

How do you know when your fronts are being driven by an underpower amp?Will the speakers produce any unusual sound?My current reciever is the STR-DB1070 and I am very concered about it producing much lower watts than the claimed 100X6 wpc.

Does anyone know were I can get a hard or soft copy of the STR-DB1070 manual.My mother accidently threw it away and I despretely need a replacement.Hope someone can help.

OK guys....first my speaker have been repaired and they sound great.I tried them with the star wars dvd and there was no more rattling sound.After I went and bought the Final Fantasy DVD and there was some rattling sound from the mains.I tried back theStarWars and there was no rattling so I'm...

I would defenitly choose the Sony over the Denon.Before I bought my Sony STR-DB1070,I auditioned the Denon 1802 and found the sony just blew it away especially in the 5.1 channel.It seemed there was not such thing as discrete in the denon.After that I read the review of the 1801 in...

I live in a flat and am deciding to buy the Sony SA-WM40 subwoofer soon.I'm just afraid that I'll disturb the neighbours.Even now with my mains which have built in 10' woofer,my friend who lives two floors below me knows when I'm watching the pod race sequence.Is there anything that I might be...

A second guy from the speaker company came and diagnosed the problem and from his opinion thinks that I blew up my bid-bass speaker drivers.He said I should try to upgrade my speakers from the 6 inch mains with the 8 inch.I might need to add a few hundred.So I don't know weather to get the...

The whole purpose that I bought these front speaker was for their built in subs.I was trying to avoid buying a separate subwoofer since I live in a flat and didn't want to disturbe my neighbours too much.I thought by buying a tower with built in subs would give me descent bass while not having...

yes...there are two sets of connection to the reciever at the back but only for the front speaker.The center and surround speaker only have one pair of connector.Just hope I can get a replacement or an upgrade for the fronts.The guys from the speaker company think my reciever it to powerful fot...

The guys from the spekaer company came to inspect the speakers.At first they tried to bywire them.They told me by bywiring them the low frequency signal could go straight to the built in subwoofer rather than going through the mid-bass first.It reduced the rattling but it was still there.After...

YES...the problem does go away when I set them to small.The sony reciever standard(STD) crossover when the speakers are set to small is 120Hz but it allows for 10Hz decrement down to 40Hz.Even if I set the speaker to small with the crossover set to 40Hz there is no problem.The problem only...

I don't think it due to the LFEs since when it is playing those there is no ratting sound coming out.The sound only seems to come out from the smaller speaker during bass production around the 30HZ - 40HZ range.I am going to buy a separate subwoofer but just don't want to get stuck with these...

The advertised power of the STR-DB1070 is 100 X 6 Watts.I check my speakers yesterday by playing Star Wars , Jurassic Park 3 and Braveheart(OST).When it produced bass around the 20 to 30HZ there was no problem since the mains have a 12' built in subwoofer .But when it played bass around 30-40 HZ...

The 10HZ increment for the sony is true. When I first bought my Sony STR-DB1070,I went to my uncle's house since he has an own personal hometheater setup ready.We tried the Sony and it was awsome.Then I tried to listen to his Denon 1802 and it souded so tereble.Me and my friend were shocked...

I own a Sony STR-DB1070 and a set of high power speakers.The power handling and sensitivity of these speakers are as below Fronts : 300 Watts 91db Center : 200 Watts 89db Rear : 150 Watts 89db Yesterday I pushed the volume to -30 in dts mode for star wars:The phantom menance and the...
