Yeah, I really wanted to know what would be the most optimal and best set up for the equipment at hand. I know I don't have to use all of the speakers, I currently have a 7.1 set up, with only the LSi series speakers connected to the Pio Elite Receiver. The Denon 4806 receiver actually has 9.1...

ok, so due to recent life events i now have the following grouping of equipment that i want to utilize to its fullest. Help me figure out what i should do. TV- Mitsubishi 73" DLP WD73727 PS3 2x XBOX 360 Elite 1 XBOX HD DVD player Toshiba A30 HD DVD player Wii Receivers- Denon 4306...

Thanks for the replies, Yeah, it is fortunate for my receiver that i don't play it too loud, although I have had them pretty loud on occasion, such as the middle of the day, where I can be a little loud. -How about sound quality wise? Would a decent external amp 'sound better' than the Pio...

I have my PS3 connected to my Pio Elite 82TXS receiver via HDMI cable, I have the PS3 set up to output in Linear PCM, as so is my Pio Elite when I watch Blu-Ray movies, this is I believe the correct settings to get the PS3 to decode the new HD audio formats and send it to the Pio Elite to my...

I know the Polks are rated at 4ohms, and my Pio Elite outputs at 8ohms, but do you think there is ample power for these speakers from the Pio? or am I missing out by not having an external amp? LSi15's fronts, LSiC center, FXI-A4 surrounds. Anybody have this combo? just curious as to what...

Well, everything is plugged into my Panamax Power Conditioner unit, which is plugged into one outlet in the wall, can this be the issue? How would I correct a "Ground loop problem" Thanks for the advice!!

I'm lowering my price, I am asking for $80 plus shipping/handling. Let me know if your interested!

If anybody has a Harmony 890 remote or something with similar features or a IR repeater set up, I am willing to trade, let me know if your interested.

BRAND NEW, in box, NEVER used. purchased this for over $200, but went with Polk Audios instead, I now just have one speaker. I'm asking for $135. you can visit www.athenaspeakers.com for more info. I live in San Diego, but will ship if I have to. contact me at 619-261-2372. tweeter: 2 - 1"...

I have 2 pairs of bass shakers connected to an old JVC 5.1 amp. I have the sub cable split from my Pio Elite going into the JVC split again into the DVD input. The problem is, is that there is a noticable hum from the speakers when these are connected, but when I remove the split from the back...

Personally, I think that Onkyo is not NEARLY as good as people claim, I just got rid of my Onkyo yesterday in place of a Pio Elite 82TSX. Evethough there is no reason to wait for the 1.3 recievers, so as long as you have a level 5 or above reveiver now, I would wait and pass up the Onkyo line...

That is a tuff choice... I purchased the Pio Elite 82TXS yesterday, but was also considering the Yamaha. The two receivers pretty much have all of the same features, except that the Pio Elite is THX certified. The Pio uses the Faroudja video scaler, I didn't think the Yami did, but not...

I just recieved/purchased 4 VWS-100 by .2sr, found on ebay http://cgi.ebay.com/BASS-SHAKERS-lik...QQcmdZViewItem for $70/pair. Anyway, I didn't realize that thease bass shakers are rated at 2ohms. I have a Pio Elite TSX82 amp, which I will use the pre-amp output to connect my old JVC 887...

The speakers do have "jumpers" which I have removed just because the manual states to. So, you think that bi bi-wiring, you put an "extra" strain on the amp? I have a brand new Pio Elite TSX 82, rated at 130w/channel, RMS. I have run two sets of speaker wires to each speaker, but they are...

So how do you exactly bi-wire? Just purchased Polk LSi15's for front, LSiC for center, and two pairs of the Fxi3's for the surrounds. The LSi15's and LSiC all have two sets of speaker terminals on them. The manual states that this is for bi-wiring, I have never heard of this before, but...

Thanks for all of the recommendations, has been VERY helpful. Well, I purchased speakers yesterday. As most of you probably already know, Tweeter is going out of business, and selling everything in stock currently at 50-70% off of already sale prices. I couldn't pass this deal up, so I purchased...

Thanks for the response, I purchased the Pio Elite TSX 82 today, will hook it all up tomorrow.

I am about to purchase the Pio TXS82 today, but had a question before I purchased. I know the HDMI is 1.2a, but does the HDMI inputs only pass video, or does it do video and audio. So all I would have to hook up is a HDMI cable for my PS3, XBOX Elite, and HD8300 without having to use any optical...

So, what current HDMI recievers actually do LPCM via HDMI so that you can get Dolby True HD and the other new formats via HDMI 1.1, 1.2, 1.2a, so as long as the blueray/HD-dvd decodes the formats? Does the Pioneer Elite TXs 82 do this? Thanks for the time!!

O.K., So I followed your guys recommendations. I disconnected the component cables from the reciever, and hooked it up straight to the T.V., the lines were still present. I naturally assumed that the XBOX was at fault. So today I was able to find a XBOX Elite in stock at gamestock, and traded in...

I haven't added any electronic equipment recently, nothing at all. I will go ahead and try the connection straight to the t.v., I hope this works. I will get back to you.

I currently own a XBOX 360 w/ HD-DVD, and a PS3, XBOX is hooked up to an Onkyo Reciever via monster component cables, then to Philips 50" plasma T.V via component, PS3 is hooked up via HDMI cable. I've had the XBOX since November, and a few weeks ago, I noticed that there are several (20-30)...

Thanks for all of the recommendations, Somebody recommended Athena speakers, what do you guys think of these speakers, and more specifically, the Athena WS-100 floorstanding speakers, the WS-60 for the center, and the AS r1.2 dipole/bipole for the surrounds. Is this a good combination, they are...

I have been reading a lot of input on bass shakers, and it seems that they are definately worth the money. I just purchased 2 Aura ast 1b-4 bass shakers (specs: impedance: 4 ohms RMS 50W, max 100W w/ both, frequency 20-80 hz), and 2 VWS-100 (made by dot2 SR) bass shakers (specs: imendence...

Does anybody have the Infiniti Beta Series speakers? I don't know why, but i'm drawn towards these speakers, and I especially like the fact that they have dipole surrounds. Also, another question, for a 7.1 audio set up, do you have all 4 surround speakers as dipoles? Or do you just use the 2...

Thanks for the reply and suggestion, the reason I was interested in the Infiniti Beta series was because of the fact that they had di-pole surrounds, I don't know if this is needed or better, but from what i've read they are the way to go. My surround speakers will be all mounted on the side...

I know that this is asked all of the time, but there is SO much information out there, it's hard to make a decision. I am currently looking to upgrade my home theater speakers, which is a 7.1 set up, my room is 23'x13', w/ an 8' ceiling. I currently have the Onkyo HT -R530 HTIB 7.1 set up, but...

I currently have the Onkyo HT SR 800 series 7.1 HTIB. Got it for just about $400. My room is 23' x 13'. Absolutely sounds great! Couldn't ask for anything more from a HTIB for that price. I think that that's an excellent choice for something under $500.

I currently have my Philips 50" Plasma HDTV mounted about 8 inches above my fireplace, and the top of the tv is about 7 inches below the ceiling. I too thought that this would be a strain on my neck due to the height of the television. It has been mounted there for over a year now, and I...
