Thanks guys for your posts! I ended up getiing the AVR 2105!!! I put it through the ropes and i found the Yamaha to be more tinny and really cold sounding, for those that are reading this potentially. It all comes down to personal opinion. Thanks guys see ya in the forum. Andy

Hey Guys, Ok well im finally going to do my upgrade ive been planning for a while! I have narrowed it down to two models. The Yamaha HTR 5760 or the Denon AVR 2105. I read the specs on them both and can see the differences, but i wanted to see if anyone out there has one of these receivers and...

Ok so then let me ask for me to aquire refrence levels on my speakers what would it take, b/c i love these speakers and dont really want to part with them. On a side note, the receiver i have has an option to turn low imp on (aka 4-6ohm in this case right?) I have done that in the past but found...

Ed thanks for the reply... all my connections are good.. maybe giving it some more breathing room would help... it has enoght already thought. As for the ohm the speakers are 4 and the receiver can handle that from what i understand.... if i could ask this question then since ohm are still hard...

Well i knew it would happen eventually... but i dont understand... if anyone could help explain this concept to me i would really appreciate it. I have a Panasonic SA-HE100 receiver, the other night while listening to a cd at a decent volume (probably louder then any parents would like it to...

Hey Everyone, I was wondering if it would be benificial to set all my speakers to small to improve bass response. I am gettin a very good range on my sub from what it sounds but i was wondering if it would help to do some changes. I have read many diffrent variations on what settings that were...

Hello, Well i stopped in at my local best buy. And I came across these new line of speakers by Athena. Now i havent heard of them but i was rather curious. I fired up the sound and they sound amazing! THe model i tried was their floor standing AS-F2. Bass response was nice etc etc. I didnt get...

ANother question... the preouts.... they are rca connections right? Not normal wire bindings...(i havent seen the back of an amp. so im kinda running blind right now). Kinda like the pre-out for your LFE channel. Am i right or wrong?

THANK YOU!! I find this hobby more fun when you learn new things! Thanks man.. life saver Andy

Well, seems like sticking with the receiver and the built in amp is a good choice. I appreciate all the suggestions. I guess i will have to spend alot of time at tweeters and feel out an amp and what it does for a specified receiver. Thanks everyone! Just a final question about ohms.... what the...

Hey everyone. I currently have been hearing that adding an amp to my receiver would be a good idea. I know that more power makes better sound (obviously). But i currently have Panasonic sahe-100 receiver and was wondering if i would benifit from an amp? I currently enjoy my receiver and have no...

Well that gives me something to think about. Keith you wouldnt happen to know a date on the universal player from Pioneer would you? (Summer, Fall, Winter) Cause i could always pick up some other components in the mean time. But to tell you the truth i do enjoy dvd-a on my standard dvd player...

Truth has it that you can play any DVD- Audio disc in ANY dvd player. (I know this because that is how i enjoy DVD-A for the moment.) I would love to dive into a Universal player that Pioneer offers for about 500$$$ but thats doesnt fit my budet at this time. BUt i want to enjoy both formats. So...

An interesting point aside, I have found (through my late nights at my local tweeters) thats the more watts per channel the clearer and more rich sound is. There is just more power to handle the spectrum of sound. Dont know if there is any truth to this but i have heard a difference. But when i...

I have had My GBA SP for about a month now and let me tell you it is an awesome peice of equipment. 1. The Light is King! You can see everything 2. It folds (kinda cool) 3. It has a rechargable battery 4. Battery Lasts easily 10 hours WITH the light on My overall enjoyment of MY SP is...
