My wife 'adjusted' the seating position after I installed the rears in the ceiling. They are now in the perfect position for an Atmos setup! Unfortunately getting clearance for a new receiver to take advantage has been challenging, which is why I'd love to replace my current Onkyo with this one.

The dialogue coming out of the speakers is not synced with what is on the screen. I have tried playing with the "distance" setting on the receiver, but it doesn't seem to match. The receiver is a Denon 1905. Is there another setting that I should be adjusting?

Right on. Thanks for the tip! I'd like the peace of mind.

Thanks for the resopnse. Actually, it was hot-glued to a board and I used a hot knife to melt the glue and pull it off. 90 views and no one telling me I'm going to die. I'll take that as a positive sign.

Anybody know?

The plastic exterior coating of a capacitor melted when I was removing it from a board, exposing the metal interior casing. Will this compromise its performance or safety?

"...and the seals are as air tight as possible." Just to let you know she really, really tried.

So you went with the two tweeters up front, then?

Hmm. Neither sounds like much fun! Would I run into any issues by sanding off the poly and reapplying veneer over the old stuff?

What is the best way to remove veneer that was applied with contact cement about three years ago?

Right on, thanks for the input. I'll check out the PE kits.

These are for my dad who is not an audiophile by any means, which is why I was keeping the $ low. So, should I just go with GR Reseach and tell him he's just going to have to live with good speakers, whether he likes it or not or are there other options for less money?

Now that SCH appears to exist no longer who is the budget speaker king? My budget is around $350 for mains and center. Who would you recommend for a 70/30 HT to music ratio?

Oi.

Relax, Seth, it was only an opinion. You want to read a two-year old car audio thread...please, go right ahead. I'm sorry to distract you.
