    Are the new Onkyos good receivers?

    Jim I own an Onkyo tx-sr600 and I found no problem with the unit. I am happy with my purchase and I find the unit has plenty of power. The 601, as I understand it, has a bit beefier power supply and my company sells it. A sound difference between the 600 and 601 is absolutely nothing and...

    Horrendous Paradigm Demo Experience (long post)

    Hey Frankie, I once went to a place in the city where I lived and wanted to here some nice speakers. The fellow asked me what my equipment is an I said I was using an NAD preamp along with a pair of Carver M1.0t amps in bridged mono. I was looking to upgrade in speakers. He actually said that...

    How low does a sub need to go - help a beginner?

    Just to give some perspective on dbs as Manuel is stating above, the Krell Master Reference powered subwoofer is probably the most devastatingly powerful monster to enter the home theater realm. I have not heard one although I'm trying to locate a retailer that has one to audition. It is...

    Subwoofer near boiler room = trouble?

    In that case Mitch, I wouldn't worry if it is 10 ft away. Just try to keep the area clean.

    Need honest opinions on Klipsch subs......

    Hey Brad I have the Klipsch KSW-10 and I must say it pounds really well. It is very controlled and deep for its size. I love this unit as it is very well built. All Klipsch subs are as the people above me are attesting. Next year I plan to move up to my final sub which is a Klipsch KSW-15. I...

    Subwoofer near boiler room = trouble?

    Hey Mitch Your topic is really way out when it comes to Home Theatre. Let me take a stab at it. A large sub such as yours does move a bit of air but firstly, how close to the furnase is it? I would think a fan would be dangerous right next to the furnace but I don't think a sub can move...

    Is the THX worth $200

    Everybody above is correct. The most important thing about THX is the badge on the unit and the THX intro on the DVD. Think about this. There are even THX approved cables. What for? For Lucasfilm to make more money. Hey if you can have it in the theatres, you might as well take a stab in...

    Receiver output setting for subwoofer

    Thanks a lot Stephen and Colin. I really appreciate your definitive answers to my question. You gave me a great senario. I didn't know this about the receiver's sub setting being capable of adding distortion. I will go back to at least the 0db setting and experiment downward to -5db from...

    Receiver output setting for subwoofer

    Hello HT forumers. I have a question. A audio/video dealer where I live suggested that the sub setting on the receiver should be set to the highest db output and from there adjust the subwoofer's output accordingly. The idea is that since the receiver's sub-out connection is only a signal...

    Help! I need some help on buying a 10" sub....

    Art I have a Klipsh KSW 10 powered sub and it performs very well, even in a medium sized room. Mind you my room is smaller and it performs like a beast. A good 10 inch sub can do wonders. If you feel you want to play it safe for any future large room explosions, then go for a 12 or even a 15.
