    Speaker Problems

    I realize that I dont own a top end amp.. but the yamaha seems to have plenty of power...rated at 125st per, and these speakers are not power hungry. When i say LOUD it was nothing I had not done before. It was at a level that was rocking... but not like i was coming close to trying push the...

    Speaker Problems

    Yes, it is true... i had some friends over today and we were listening to some loud music for sure!! But I dont understand what you mean about "underpowering" them. I was listening to CD's .. a mix of rap... 80's and techno. But Underpowered? If i blew them out becasue I am listening loud (lots...

    Speaker Problems

    I own a set of Mission M74i tower speakers. Just today while listening to some 2 channel music, i noticed that one of the speakers sounded kind of dull. I played music from various sources and even checked all the wiring. Even after this, the right speaker just didnt have the same sound. The...

    Listening to Music with Sub

    I am using a Pioneer D609S. I think that the music sounds nicer using the towers...plenty of low end. For movies, I have done a comparison and I like it better when all speakers are set to small. It gives the sub more to do, and I like the results. With music, it makes it sound not as "real" i...

    Listening to Music with Sub

    I have been listening to music with my 2 front speakers and a sub lately. The reason is that I set my speakers to small for HT and the sub now plays when I listen to 2 channel music. To make this not happen, every-time I want to hear music, I would have to reset my fronts to Large. Since this is...

    Fluance vs JBL

    I have Goldsky speakers.....but I would consider the JBL's if I had a local dealer. I hear god things. THE JBL's will be bookshelves though and the Fluance are floor standing (33"). P.J.

    Klipsch vs. B & W vs. Monitor

    If your running Rotel and Parasound.....then I'm sure any speaker you run would sound good. I'm still using a Pioneer VSX-D609S....so if I ran speakers with very high sensitivity, they would not sound so great. The Klipsch I heard were hooked up to a Onkyo SR700 which isn't the greatest...

    Klipsch vs. B & W vs. Monitor

    Ouch! Well, All I know is what I like. And you like what you like. The question is: Are you my relative? Dr. Peter warns "Extended listening to Klipsch can cause damage to your hearing"

    DefTech or Energy Surrounds?

    I believe that 5.1e's are better matched for the lower line. It's not about how good the center is...but what will match with you fronts best.

    Klipsch vs. B & W vs. Monitor

    Cam, You have a Technics Amp that sounds better than a Yammy? I thought that Tech made lower end products. P.J.

    Problem Posting Pictures in Sig.

The picture in on my personal web page, and is always accessible. When this happens, I also check my site right away to see if I can see the pic, and I can...

    DefTech or Energy Surrounds?

    If your fronts are already energy.....you need to get an Energy Center to match. I don't believe it will sound right with a def tech. center. The surrounds are different, they don't need to be matched as close. Plus I like Def Tech. surrounds because they are Bi-Pols. My opinion is...if you...

    Klipsch vs. B & W vs. Monitor

    I listened to the B&W 603's at the same store I heard the new Monitor Silver ( Comparable model) i liked the B&W's better. Both were laid back...as you would expect from a British speaker. Klipsch? Don't get me started. They are the KING of sounding good in the store...(because they scare the...

    Buying in 3 days. Final choice! Gimme Help!

    Well, Like you said, the 6060 has no pre-outs...which I kinda want. Plus it's $50 more. That's a consideration for me at this point. Finally, I know this is kinda dumb...but I want a Silver Receiver. All my other components are silver (where I live that's what's popular). My TV, Digital Cable...

    Buying in 3 days. Final choice! Gimme Help!

    The HK125 is less than the 811S on Etronics.com. I would like to have that.....BUT, it's 5.1....and part of me upgrading was to get 6.1. Other than that, the HK would be on my list....especially at that price ($274).

    Pioneer 811S SILVER. Anyone?

    Does anyone have the Silver version of the 811S? All my components are silver (DVD, Digital Cable, VCR, TV) This model is available in Silver where I live, but since I am buying in America to have it shipped to me, can I find this unit in Silver? I know I can get the Panasonic in Silver, but I...

    Best All Around Receiver For $300

    Sorry for all the questions. I just found out some of the things on my own. The speaker connections are Clips for center and rears and there are no pre outs..both of those are bad for me. It is 6.1 Amp'd so that's good. The one thing im still not sure of is if its a learning remote. I have some...

    Best All Around Receiver For $300

    Could you please tell me a few things about the Panasonic. I like the price (249)...but I have been looking very hard at the 811s. Tell me, is the Panasonic 5.1 or 6.1? If it is 6 channel, is the 6th channel amp built in or do you need an extra amp? Also, does it use posts or clips for the...

    Pioneer 811 Sale. Where?

    Actually, typing 811 instead of 811s was out of laziness on my part. I meant 811s as that is the only one I am familiar with. P.J.

    Buying Klipsch Speakers online

    Ouch...a Canadian not buying Paradigm? Is this a first? No, I'm just kidding. Just curious though, I know this is off the topic in this thread, but what did you demo the Klipsch against? P.J.

    Best receiver for under 500 for small speakers

    Yes, I missed the deal. I'm trying to get someone in the States to pick one up for me and send it to me, but I moved on it too late. Now I'm not sure what I will do. That receiver offers alot of bang for the buck. My only question about it is the quality of the amps compared to like Onkyo or...

    Best receiver for under 500 for small speakers

    For me, I like the Pioneer. Here's why. Sony: I used to own one a few years back and had some problems with it. Plus, I have heard bad things about their lower models. Of course, that could very well be just in a few cases. I'm just repeating what I have been reading. Kenwood: Very nice...
