    Subwoofer calibration

    I know the theory and what you are "supposed" to do, but it seems like I can't bring myself to lower my sub's level so that it reads the same as my other speakers on the spl meter. I have my sub at between 6-7 db higher than my other speakers (using the SPL meter). This is both on my...

    My Comparison of the Onkyo TX-SR700 to the Onkyo TX-SR701

    My local CC, to my astonishment, agreed to an even swap of my 6 month old Onkyo 700 for a brand new Onkyo 701 (after I pointed out that my 700 had the "ex phase" defect -- but I didn't reveal that I only have a 5.1, not a 6.1 set-up, so that in reality, the defect didn't really effect me at the...

    Receiver issue with calibration, or is this normal?

    This weekend I replaced my Onkyo TX-SR700 with a new TX-SR701 (surprisingly, CC agreed to do an even swap of my 6 month old 700 for a brand new 701 -- when I pointed out a minor defect that existed in the 700). Anyway, when doing speaker calibration with the new 701, I noticed what I believe...

    Paradigm PDR-10 Sub -- light dimming?

    There is a light on front of the PDR-10 sub (it comes on when it detects a signal). There is no power on/off on this sub. The light will go off entirely if no signal is detected for 15 minutes or so. This appears to work as intended. However, I recently noticed (after I re-arranged furniture...

    Harman Kardon AVR-525 Experience (bad)

    Well after listening to my new Onkyo TX-SR700 for a week, it was okay -- but I wasn't thrilled. I thought it sounded a little bright -- perhaps not the best receiver for my Paradigm Atoms (fronts/surrounds); CC170 center; Paradigm PDR-10 sub. Other than some mild dissatisfaction with the bright...
