For about 10 days I've had M22ti fronts, VP150 center, M3ti rears, and an SVS 25-31 PCi sub. I saw your thread the other night and was a little too busy to reply. With the sub, I did not feel that I needed large floorstanding speakers. The M22s are pleasant on their own without the sub for...

I'm the proud owner of a new 25-31 PCi. The littlest SVS is still huge! But on the other hand, it fills the room, matches the speakers well, is quick and clean, and shakes the house for movies. I'm in need of a demo of the other models at some point in time, because I can't imagine what I...

I realize it may not be the best approach to watching DVDs, but for a while, I'm going to use the PS2 that predated the rest of my new equipment. I'm using analog to the receiver, and yes, Logic 7 cuts the bass to the point that the sub seems to vanish. It doesn't seem to be as prominent with...

All right. I got it working today, component to receiver, and analog to TV. The use as a DVD player is adequate, but I think the output could be cleaner, and I'm not sure that I'm taking full advantage of the sound encoding on DVDs. I bought the system, in one way of looking at it, because...

So I can either buy the component out cable from the receiver to the television, or buy an S-video cable for PS2 to the receiver? And then it should theoretically work? :confused:

Is there a setting on the PS2 that has to be changed to enable use of component video to the receiver? I have the same receiver, and I'm getting sound with no video output. I have an S-video out connection from receiver to TV. The tape/VHS, as well as cable-box, work fine as sources. The...

M22ti fronts, VP150 center, M3ti backs. The most humorous part of the package parade was the SVS, however. UPS came by today after Fedex had already dropped off the Axioms. I get this enormous box, and moved it through the kitchen to the family room. My wife says "what's that?" A subwoofer...

I'm having a tough time with the Panasonic RP62 & RP82 recommendations. I don't have to spend more money, and I do appreciate a bargain, but they don't shine in the look and feel department. I suspect my kids will have it trashed within 6 months. Isn't there anything sturdier with decent...

I've lit the credit card for now with an Axiom/SVS setup. The Ascends may get play yet depending upon the sound of the incoming pieces. SVS was helpful, but suggested that I may want the plus rather than a PCi based upon room size. The receiver will be an HK 520, picked up this morning as a...

They are now in the same price range, with the Denon "previously owned" and the HK available new at $559. The speakers are likely to be Axioms after conversation with my wife, with one of the SVS PCi subs. Looking around at the reviews and searching the threads, each of the receivers seems to...

The B&Ws were 603 S3s with Rotel amplification. They were pleasant, liveable speakers with a nice midrange. The Klipsch and Mirage pairs were through a Denon 2802. The Klipsch were forward and exciting, and the Mirages were muddy. I didn't trust the dealer showing me the last two, and I wanted...

I don't think that I've got decent mounting points for the QS4 or QS8, unless I use the Axiom 36" stand for the Q speakers. The back wall isn't feasible, and the side walls would place the QS speakers 27 feet apart. Today I've been thinking about M3ti for the backs, M22ti fronts, VP150...

I've reread the CHT reviews this evening. I like their straightforward style. They praise the M3ti's detail resolution and musical ability, and do the same for the Ascend 170s.

BradJudy: What other receivers did you consider, if any? I've scoured Audioreview.com and most owners/reviewers seem to be pleased with their Ascends. The H-K is generally loved except for the occasional problem piece. The Axioms come recommended from a crowd on another computer-oriented...

I'm shopping for a first system, and I've had a chance to audition B&W 600 series, Klipsch RF3, a Mirage pair that I've forgotten... I am an ex-two-channel audiophile type, who finds himself watching more movies than any other form of media of late. I do love detail in the music, however...
