    I have a Yamaha RX-V667 HT receiver connected to my TV via HDMI. The RX-V667 has 6 HDMI inputs. I can connect my Blu-Ray player to any of those inputs and it works fine. Video from the player to the TV through the Yamaha looks great.Just got DISH satellite TV. I can connect the HDMI output of...

    Yam RXV-667 and Dish Sat trouble

    I recently had Dish satellite installed. I connected the sat receivers HDMI cable to the HDMI1 input of my Yamaha. RXV-667. HDMI output of the Yamaha then goes to my TV. Sat signal makes it through to the TV but is intermittent, like a contact somewhere is randomly making and breaking somewhere...

    Replacement speaker in vintage boxes

    I have a couple of older Bose 201 speakers that I want to use for my surrounds. Cases and cloth are mint, but the 8.25" speakers each have a ~ 1" x .25" hole in the edge of the cone where a mouse nibbled them while they in storage. I put a bit of glue around the edge of each hole, laid a piece...

    Rear surrounds

    In my growing HT setup I have Bose 901 spkrs for the mains and Bose 301 spkrs for the surrounds. Now looking for a good choice for the rear surrounds. There's always few of the Bose Acoustimass cube style speakers on eBay. I think these were sold as part of a system and not...

    HT Amp for Bose 901 and 301 w/ active equalizer

    667 inroute. 15? Geez, that's a big family! Must have been chaotic at thanksgiving and Christmas. 22 years, 4 months and 1 day in the Coast Guard for me. Small service...not unusual to have brothers at the same shore unit but not on sea going units, at least not at the same time.

    It amounts to the Wrong model in the right box. Got it refurbished and they claim the mixup happened there.

    HT Amp for Bose 901 and 301 w/ active equalizer

    Well, I got a tale of woe here. Turns out the 667 doesn't provide a "pre-out"...the 667 shares its manual with other models that do, and I missed the notation indicating that. So I just hooked the 901s to the 667's front R & L and used the DSP settings to get good sound. I'd like to hear a bit...

    HT Amp for Bose 901 and 301 w/ active equalizer

    Hafler DH-120 amp and the Yamaha RX-V667 arrived today. Subwoofer got here yesterday. Lots of boxes, foam peanuts, plastic wrapping, manuals, accessories like FM antennas and YPAO mics, cords, cables, remotes and look-they-even-gave-me-name-brand-batteries and....and......and......

    HT Amp for Bose 901 and 301 w/ active equalizer

    The surround back(s) perform a function similar to that of front presence speakers -correct? They add ambiance via DSP to attempt to recreate a particular acoustic environment. These and the presence speakers would be mostly used for music, but they also work to heighten dialog in movies -...

    HT Amp for Bose 901 and 301 w/ active equalizer

    What about the front L & R presence speakers. What percentage of power do they get as compared to the front L & R? Same question for the center rear ad compared to surround L & R? This info will me select adequate speakers. I see small cube-style Bose speakers with "acoustimas" designation. Are...

    HT Amp for Bose 901 and 301 w/ active equalizer

    The 667 manual says I can run a single surround back speaker (center). Curious how much quality I'm sacrificing by running just one surround back center vs. surround back L & R. The room layout lends itself better to a single surround back center. If I used surround back L & R they would have to...

    HT Amp for Bose 901 and 301 w/ active equalizer

    I have to hunt something else up because all I have left are the HTIB speakers. I get rid if them... Will just have to go without presence and suround until i can hunt something else up more capable. Something along the lines of Bose 201are good for surround back? What percentage of power do...

    HT Amp for Bose 901 and 301 w/ active equalizer

    Waiting for the Yamaha RX-V667, Hafler D-120 amp and active subwoofer to arrive...now trying to get the speakers laid out properly. Here's what I have planned: "Front" L & R: Bose 901 speakers I have onhand. "Surround" L & R: Bose 301s I have onhand. "Presence" L & R speakers: don't have them...

    HT Amp for Bose 901 and 301 w/ active equalizer

    Well I think researched and now understand (sorta) enough to decide on the RX-V673. Having to stay in during the snow storm provides good research time.

    HT Amp for Bose 901 and 301 w/ active equalizer

    Could you please help me determine if the 673 (which is a new version of the 667) has features worth the extra cost. I want to do this right but no sense in paying more for things I don't need. These are the prices I've gathered: Yamaha RX-V667 7.2-Channel Home Theater Receiver (OLD VERSION) New...

    HT Amp for Bose 901 and 301 w/ active equalizer

    That's interesting....not doubting you, just trying to understand what the 901's equalizer does that the 667 can't do better. -if- I put the Bose equalizer in the loop with the 901s and a dtereo amp and tweak to suit. -then if- I take the Bose equalizer out and let the 667 do the work I wouldn't...

    HT Amp for Bose 901 and 301 w/ active equalizer

    Understood. Thanks. Reading about the 667. You place mic in the room and the unit performs equalizations according to the room acoustics. Seems that the 667 is smart enough to make better adjustment than I could by ear while tweaking the Bose equalizer. Does it make sense to just connect the...

    HT Amp for Bose 901 and 301 w/ active equalizer

    Im learning here so thanks for the patience with me.... That DH-120 you mention is a stereo amp. Just two channels left and right. What about the other channels - center, surrounds, woofer? They don't need an amp? Never dealt with separate aufio components since my "quad" amp and 8-track player...

    HT Amp for Bose 901 and 301 w/ active equalizer

    Found a refurbished Yamaha RX-V667 for $314. Will likely pick that up. Can you suggest a respectable blue-ray player that would be a good match for it?

    HT Amp for Bose 901 and 301 w/ active equalizer

    I have a panasonic HTIB and thought it was the cats meow, but a few days ago I sorta fell into a deal on some Bose speakers. I got a pair of Bose 901 speakers (w/ stands) and the active equalizer made to go with them for $40. Also got a pair of Bose 301 speakers for $40. All are in near-mint...
