My receiver has just one subwoofer output. just one single coaxial cable. some of these subwoofers i see now have multiple coaxial inputs. whats the deal?

thinking of upgrading my receiver. the receiver i have now is rated at 130w at 6ohm and the one im looking to buy ia 110w at 8 ohm. my speakers are rated at 250w at 8 ohm. would i be improving my sound or not?

I must have gotten the cheapest reciever ever made with my DirecTV. It is a Panasonic. It doesn't have the optical output on it. Would there be a big difference if i go with a new reciever with optical connection? What reciever do you reccomend. If i buy one off of Ebay do i need a card or can i...

I also have a Panny 200. How do you like yours? What speakers you using? I am using JBL Studio Series Center and their 312 towers. I like mine especially for movies. Are you using the digital hookup for your DVD player? I find that it makes a difference. Brian

I just ordered a Bush Brookfield AD31840. Any thoughts?

I have all of my home theater system which includes receiver, equalizer, cd player, DVD player, VCR and Satellite receiver sitting on top of my big screen. It doesn't look very good. Anybody know of a nice cabinet for around $200? Any other ideas? I also thought of building a shelf above the big...

My S312II's have arrived!! But I'm pretty upset. Before i opened the first one i noticed a hole in the box. After opening it up the speaker box itself was damaged also. I opened up the second one and it was ok. The first one was only single boxed while the other 2 (center channel and other...

I'm refering to JBL s312II speakers. Thanks for the info even though it really confused me. Brian

I must be blind because i can't find the Beginers F&Q Primer.

Is this good? What does it mean in performance? Brian

How well do you think my reciever will power these speakers? What does sensitivity have to do with it? Here is what is says...Sensitivity (2.83V @ 1m): 92dB My reciever is 130 watt @6ohm. Brian

I have a question on calibrating my system. I have never done it before. Are you talking about setting the "levels" of the speakers? On my remote i have a button for levels for each speaker. They are set on "0" right now except the subwoofer control wich goes from "min., 5, 10, 15, and max." I...

Well i have been looking at a lot of different speakers for a few weeks. These looked like the best bang for the buck in my price range. I wanted to order from jandr.com but shipping was too much. I decided to call anyways and the guy hooked me up with free shipping, but i had to pay $299 for...

I bought the JBL Studio Series S312II with the matching center channel. I hope i made a wise choice. Thanks for the help i have been getting on my posts. Thanks Brian

Well it is mostly used for HT, but i like to watch music videos quite often also. When watching music videos it just doesn't sound too good. The 2 8" woofers in each box don't move very much. How can i find the true wattage and stuff on this reciever? I listen to mostly hard rock and a little...
