    Setting up my RX-v1800 with Polk Monitor 70

    Well...sort of. So, the track coming out of my computer has been DAC'ed, then is minijacked out in analog to my v1800. right? I don't understand your statement: "loss is irrelevant".

    Setting up my RX-v1800 with Polk Monitor 70

    Hi Schan, I discovered that it was the bluetooth connection. I played the same track: computer, minijack to RCA on v1800 and it was no problem. The track was a mp3 256kpbs - essentially lossless right? =d Is minijack lossless? I did a comparison by streaming a track from youtube on my...

    Setting up my RX-v1800 with Polk Monitor 70

    I have a RX-V1800 that I just set up with my new Polk Monitor 70s. I hear cracking and distorting coming out of the 2nd tweeter from the top on both speakers. I am testing using the track I've attached. (EDIT: I cannot attach sound files. It's the first mvt from a Mendelssohn Quartet by the...

    Using Computer speakers with my Plasma TV

    Hi Schan - thanks for writing. I looked up some things on 3D. First, I would need a TV that has 3D, right? That is something that I don't see myself doing. Aside from that, would the V-1800 that that guy is selling be a great buy for me and keep me happy for many years?

    Using Computer speakers with my Plasma TV

    Stupid me, I forgot to attach the link to BB. The guy that is selling V-1800 for 225 - that receiver has pre-outs also. But it only has one rca input for subwoofer - am I correct? http://usa.yamaha.com/products/audio-visual/av-receivers-amps/rx/rx-v1800_black__u/?mode=model Also, $225 seems...

    Using Computer speakers with my Plasma TV

    Well...not exactly yet. I do have a pair of Polk Monitors coming that I will try with this receiver. I haven't given up on the Klipsch Ultras yet! :) I found this receiver at Best Buy - it would work with my computer speakers right, since it has pre-outs? Thanks Schan.

    Schan, I ordered a Denon AVR-1613. I got it from Costco so can return if it's not good.

    Using Computer speakers with my Plasma TV

    So EMI = electromagnetic interference right? I take it that you are saying if I do go this route of keeping these speakers and using RCA to 3.5mm, I will experience loss?

    Using Computer speakers with my Plasma TV

    Oh duh. Stupid me. Yes, of course. Is there a signal lose if I go this route? [color=rgb(40,40,40);font-family:'Merriweather Sans', sans-serif;background-color:rgb(242,242,242);]An AVR with pre-outs would cost more than buying a [B]

    Using Computer speakers with my Plasma TV

    Hi Schan, Thanks for replying. Sorry for the noob questions but I looked up the Integra and the Onkyo you listed. None of the outputs are 3.5mm.

    Using Computer speakers with my Plasma TV

    Hi all, Is there a receiver that could allow me to hook up my Klipsch Promedia Ultras (3 x 3.5mm jacks) to use with my Plasma TV? I would hate to get rid of these speakers. They are 500 watts and the sub is great. I am currently using a Creative DDTS but there is an annoying hum that I can't...
