I own that Tannoy model. I'm quite happy with it. It is a very flexible and powerful modelthat makes you think twice before purchasing a sub. I bought a matching one to complement the setup. I'm guaranteed you'll be impressed with the sound coming out whether listening to music or watching a...

Yes, please do some research on nuance before you decide to keep them for the long run. Check out the forums or goto epinions.com. I think you will be suprised on what you will find.

I believe that there is an electronics store in Toronto's Chinatown Centre that carries HK receivers and other brands. You can get a good deal from them by bargaining(they're reasonably flexible). I forget the store's name but it is the only electronics store located on the main floor. Just walk...

Look into the Yamaha RXV 1300 or 2300. Both are almost identical, the only main difference is the 2300 has a few extra DSP settings and an extea 10 watts per channel.

If would recommend Tannoy. I find their dual concentric speakers outputs clean clear audio it is accurate in all frequencies. Since you are mainly using your system fot HT, you should consider Tannoy if you want to listen clearly to dialogs from movies. I got myself the Tannoy Saturns. I'm...

The housing for the laser unit may be worn out through many usages. If the housing is plastic (which I assume), it is susceptible to be worn down from the laser unit repeatedly sliding on it when DVD's are scanned/read. If this happens, the laser will be out of alignment and will have a hard...

I would go for the yammie just because it's a good build good sound and they have a longer history in making amps/receivers.

Yes I agree the Yamaha RXV-1300 does sound a little bright for music. Ever look into the model up, the RXV-2300? The brightness from that model and up is corrected, plus you get an extra 10 watts per channel and more DSP functions to listen with. It's about $100-150 difference than the...

Are there any risks regarding unmatching amp/speaker impedences? I had a Sony DE-225 which was had 4 8ohm speakers plugged in. It worked for a while but one day while watching a movie, it went into protection mode, and then the power supply blew. The est cost for repair was $135. How stable...

I am deciding between 2 receivers for my HT system, Yamaha RX-V2300 or Onkyo TX-SR601. Both are very similar in specs and price (Onkyo slightly cheaper), but which would be the better choice? The TX-SR601 is able to handle 6ohm speakers as the info says on the Onkyo site, but the RX-V2300 has...

There, you remove the jumpers, and then cut the wire, and split the strands, or splice two wires onto the end, and then connect this newly split wire, one to each terminal. Am I following right? __________________________________________________ ______________ Yes, that is exactly what I was...

I bi-wired my front mains and noticed more distinguishing ranges on the highs and lows. I assumed if I bi-wired the rears by splitting the + and - on the same cable and removing the bridges on the speaker, it will give me a more full surround sounding range. I was just wondering if the 12...

Is it possible to split the + and - ends of a 12 gauge speaker cable to bi-wire into the load? Just wanted to find out because I have 2 speaker cables for the rear channels, running behind the drywall of a basement being finished but realized the Tannoy S6's I just purchased are bi-wire capable...

Thanks again!;)

Thanks for posting the site Sean! Is it possible to bi-wire all the speakers? They all have bi-wire capability. Right now I presently have the two mains bi-wired, but is it better to connect the 2 positive and negative terminals on the same respective outputs on the receiver or...

I'm a newbie to this forum and would like a professional solution to my HT setup. I recently purchased a Yamaha RXV 2300 receiver, 2 Tannoy S6 floorstand mains, 2 S6 bookshelf rears, 1 S6 center. All the speakers impedance are 6 ohms and the receiver has switchable impedance (4 ohm and 8 ohm)...
