    Pioneer SC-1222-K ... vs ... Pioneer VSX-1122-K

    The Pioneer 1222 is a nice receiver, I have one. Take a look at the SC-61 (Same as 1222 but has 12V triggers) http://www.hometheater.com/content/pioneer-elite-sc-61-av-receiver It has unparallelled power output in this price range, and has a lot of features for the money. The 717 is nice, but...

    Center channel speaker: Yes or No

    Make sure to match the center with the fronts. If not in series, then in brand at the very least.

    Choosing a new Receiver based on requirements

    The SC-1222 is $530 until tomorrow. It benched at 100wpc with all channels driven. Pretty impressive.

    Using live sound speakers for home theater

    I'm just wondering how he would hook speakers up to his current amplifier when they do not have speaker wire terminals.

    Using live sound speakers for home theater

    But wouldn't his amp have speakon or XLR connectors and not regular speaker wire?

    Using live sound speakers for home theater

    There probably is a way, but you wouldn't want to. 1. Those speakers cannot reproduce the entire frequency range, severely limiting the top end. 2. Those speakers were made to be played LOUD, and probably won't sound as good softer. 3. You'll probably need gobs of amp power to play those. 4. How...

    What Receiver Works Best With a Pioneer SP-PK22BS

    It looks like the issues were worked out, if you take a look at the last page of the thread. I was about to suggest the 1122 as well, but not the 616. It has A LOT of HDMI problems apparently that haven't been worked out.

    Why do you need to go floorstanding? Would some bookshelves on stands work?

    Standard size for banana plugs?

    I'm just going to ask this. Are you trying to insert the plugs in through the side and not through the top?

    Choosing a new Receiver based on requirements

    Ah, didn't know the BASH actually had a AC input, just assumed it was another car amplifier, disregard issue 2 then.

    Choosing a new Receiver based on requirements

    How is it irrelevant? An external amp is much better, some receivers can run them yes, but they get hot as hell.

    Choosing a new Receiver based on requirements

    There are some things that need to be cleared up. 1. You will NOT get 100 RMS minimum with any receiver unless you start getting into the 1.5k+ range. 2. If you want to use your existing car amp, you will need to modify it for home use, you should read up on that. 3. If you want to use those 4...

    Yamaha RX-V673 vs Pioneer SC-1222-K

    I wouldn't get the 1122. It is exactly the same as the 1021 ( last years model) don't know why they moved it up and is severely underpowered, think ~40wpc. I would know, I have the 1021. I would get the 1222 hands down, don't settle for less because you'll be wanting more. Class D3 amp, better...

    Need help with the setup onkyo 515 w/energy rc micro 5.1 and a pair of bose 301's

    Just use the 5.1. I'm not too familiar with bose, does it have regular speaker inputs? You could definitely use those are rear surrounds, but generally, Bose isn't the best for audio. That depends on a number of factors. There are different levels in TV's. Such as a 55" 3000, 4000, 5000, 6000...

    Tv will not play surround sound either 2.0 or 5.1, works fine w blue ray

    Your TV doesn't support ARC. Grab a TOSLINK cable and connect it from your tv to your HTiB and you should be fine. http://www.monoprice.com/products/subdepartment.asp?c_id=109&cp_id=10229

    Is there anywhere you could go listen? When spending this amount of money you usually want to select a set that pleases you. If you can't though, definitely look up reviews and see which speakers are "warm" or "bright" and which one suits you the most. If you want to stay within KEF, I would...
