You should also consider how you are going to use the TV and your budget. Granted CRTs are a mature technology, but if you have a widescreen model and play a lot of 4:3 programming, you run the risk of burnin of the CRTs. Stretch modes, for me, still look like a distorted picture. There are...

BradVan Standard Definition performace will vary depending on the TV that you decide to purchase. A good friend of mine purchased a HD Hitachi last year that I thought looked absolutely horrible with SD. On the other hand a ED Panasonic plasma looked particulary good with SD.

See if it's not too late to extend your warranty. Sometimes they'll make exceptions and extend it and then go ahead and repair it.

By any chance, did the warranty just run out???

No progress on the clicking, but I did come across something else that might be useful. I moved the RMB-1095 off of the Panamax Max 5100 power conditioner and found an improvement in sound. It appears that the Panamax somehow reduces the dynamic range of the amp. Even though the Panamax is...

Yeah, that 991 does run warm. Does anybody know why?? jim

Richard, Interesting. Obviously, yours is confined to the specific 991 and is either thermal expansion related or has something to do with the relay during warmup and cooldown. Last night, I took the Panamax power conditioner out of the power supply chain and switched it off. I was pretty...

I think what I'll do is after running the 991, unplug it and put it in a different room. That should help identify the culpret.

What is odd is when I first got the 991, about a week ahead of the power conditioning, I had absolutely no clicking. This is when I first saw your post. It was only after I got the power conditioner that I noticed the clicking. When I moved one of the RMB 1095 to directly connect to the wall...

"Will this madness ever end!?" No, not really. Have you noticed, once you've bought 3 new components, its like the dam broke and you're ready to buy a lot more? Recently, I bought the Ref 50, a new amp for my rear center channel, and some speakers to better match my other speakers...

Richard: I think I've found the cause of the clicking. You have several of your amps going through a common power strip before going to the switched outlet of your power conditioner. Since all your amps are still in the "on" position, the capacitors have enough residual electricity that...

Jeff: I'd recommmend going with the RMB-1095(5@200). If you later decide to go 7 channel, just add a 1080(2@200) Jim

RichardHOS You got a PM. Jim

As someone who has bought several different speakers in the last 3 years, I highly recommend that you take the cheap way out and do it right the first time. If anyway possible, buy the same speaker for all 5(or 7) positions. If this is over budget, get the front stage first and add to it...

I'm a new Ref 50 owner of three weeks now and I can report that the "whine" is way over blown. You can hear a little something, but you have to put your head right up to the speaker. Not something you hear from 10 feet away. I suspect what some people are reporting are really ground loop...

Brian: Getting an informative audition in anything other than your own system is as tough as reading an insurance policy and getting anything out of it. lol My experience was that both the Anthem and the Ref 50 that I auditioned were not set up right. Ref 50 was at a Tweeter 100 miles from...

I'm a new owner of a B&K Ref 50. I like it quite a bit, but that is not to say that others manufacturers don't have good products also. Personally, I think that when properly set up, several of these pre/pros within their price point, will for all intents and purposes sound very good. The...

Hi Mike: I can't speak about the Anthem, as I have a B&K Ref 50 and am more familiar with its operation. In the Ref 50's setup menu, you can define your speakers as large and your subwoofer as Ultra to make your bass information go to both your sub and your full range speakers...

As an owner of 451 main and 453c center channel, I wish I had come across your earlier post before buying some 370s for my rear surrounds. I think you're doing the right thing keeping them. They're great speakers. If you change your mind.....:) Jim

Hey Richard: I added a Panamax Max 5100 (power conditioner)to my system last week and started getting the occasional click with my 991 as you described. Didn't click without the power conditioner. I think it has something to do with the RB-991 was not designed to be turned off by...

Just a shot in the dark, but isn't there an issue with positioning of learning remotes to the transmitting (original) remote. That for some odd reason for certain learned functions to take, the distance between the two remotes have to be either closer or further away than other operations that...

And the channels that don't run out of gas as quickly are the ones that share the same transformers. I don't know if this is standard, but my 5 channel amp has two transformers. Each transformer drives different channels.

Had to go check. My 991 is warmer than the 1095. So that must be normal. It does not click, however.

Have you tried removing the 991 from the rack and connecting (power only) it in another room. That should help identify the offending component. You really need to know for sure which component is causing the clicking sound before taking the big hammer to it.(figure of speach only)...

My guess is that the relay is going out and either it'll stay on (or off) all the time. By the way, I've got a RB991 coming in today. I'll be using it to drive my rear center channel in a 6.1/7.1 configuration. My other channels are being driven by a Rotel RMB-1095 (5*200) which I've been...

Your culprit is probably whichever output connection you started using when this whole clicking thing started.

Arup I can appreciate what you are doing and would like to experiment with my system. I've been thinking about how to impliment your solution and can't figure out how to handle the signal from the other 4 channels short of buying 2 more subs. Any suggestions??

Rick I'm not sure if my Yamaha works the same way as your KH receiver, but it's worth a mention. The bass/treble control on the Yammy applies only to the front mains. There is also a graphic equalizer in one of the Yammy menus to sonic ally adjust the center channel to help sound match...

Andrew: You may have lucked out. As I understand the geometry of speaker placement, your rear center speakers in a 6.1 or 7.1 would need to be about 4 feet apart when they're 1/2 the distance behind you relative to the front speakers. With front speakers 7 feet from you, then they would...
