My multichannel source is an Arcam AVR 400, it is driving my Monitor Audio RX6's with a center channel. And yes, the speakers are connected to typical speaker connections, the sub will be connected to the LFE input. Your amp must have a beefy power supply with excellent current reserves, to...

Thanks for your reply! I thought the sub LFE input and the amp's speaker inputs were independent from each other. I will say that I am surprised that you are able to have different speaker loads with out damage to the source. One time I had a pair of Focal's 826W's (8 Ohms) and I was thinking...

This is a follow up question to a post I made in the amp section of this forum. My speakers are rated at 6 Ohms, the sub I'm looking at (NHT B 10d) is rated at 4 Ohms. I know that speakers impedance cannot be different due to loads imposed on the amp, but since the sub will be connected to the...

One of the reasons I purchased the Monitor Audio's was a review in Sterophile which stated that a sub was not needed with this speaker when used in HT settings. In addition we don't watch many movies mostly sports and other stuff, another reason I did not get the sub. However, I want to avoid...

Thanks Al for the links I will pick both up and check them out. I will toggle the speaker setting to find a happy medium. As far as the sub is concern is I t better to stick with sub from Monitor Audio or would a sub from Rel or Velodyne work as well? The Monitor Audio's sub is a 12" 500 w sub...

Thanks for the detailed response. The Arcam will not allow auto set-up with less than a 5.1 system, elsewise it must be manually configured. I have set the distance for the LCR speakers, but did not know that the volumes can be set as well. . . I will adjust this as well. I also do think the...

Sorry for being vague, I guess what I am asking is that the Arcam is designed to be used as a 7.1 system and I will be using it has a 3.0 or maybe 3.1 system. The goal is to get the Arcam configured to get the best signal info to the speakers so that they perform well set-up as a 3.0 system. At...

First post on this site, What is the best way to get the most sound benefit using Arcam AVR-400 in a 3.0 configuration? The room size is not suited for surround sound and this system will be replacing a sound bar. The goal is to improve upon what was being used to this 3.0 system, I may add a...
