    Question about Bi-wiring Speakers

    Thanks for your responses guys...After researching Bi-wiring a bit more, I've discovered that most people's experience suggests little to no difference in sound. Though, it is also a function of the speaker design, as well. Since my Polk RTi8s are designed to handle Bi-wiring, I just might give...

    Question about Bi-wiring Speakers

    I just purchased two Polk RTi8 towers to be used as front speakers. The description for these speakers mention that they have 5-way binding post terminals. I realize that bi-amping is running two seperate amps into each speaker (one to power the low end, and one to power the high end). Though, I...

    Simple Sub-woofer hook-up question

    Just as a follow up... I received the SC-HT900 and was not impressed with it.. Maybe it is my natural ear for powerful good soundin systems that is a tad too critical, but, nevertheless I am sending it back. I found a deal through Crutchfield where I can get two Polk RTi8 front speakers('70s...

    Simple Sub-woofer hook-up question

    I know, I know..... It's a sensitive subject.. I also have a Panasonic RP-82 DVD player (with the Dcdi Faroudja deinterlacer), and of course the Infinity PS-10 sub... The problem is, the front, center and rear speakers that I REALLY want will cost me somewhere between $1000 and $1200. I do not...

    Simple Sub-woofer hook-up question

    Thanks, Dave. another option i considered is sending my line-out into an input on another receiver of mine, then out from that receiver's sub-out... At least I would be able to control the volume of the sub through the receiver, right? Or, does that not make any sense/would not work?

    Simple Sub-woofer hook-up question

    Thanks John... After posting my last thread, I thought about it and realized what you just said about the tape-deck example... I'm sure it is a fixed line-level on the line-out. Regarding the sub from the HTIB, it does have an amp, but it doesn't appear to be accessible (i.e.- cannot tap into it...

    Simple Sub-woofer hook-up question

    Thanks for your reply Dave ! Based on the picture in the manual (link below--need adobe acrobat), the sub does not appear to allow accesss to the amp. The sub talks to the main unit through a system cable (transmits power to receiver/receives audio information from receiver). So, the line-out...

    Check this out!!!

    I haven't heard much about this system, but what I have heard about wireless speakers isn't very encouraging. Also, that is a pretty low powered sub (though you mentioned that you don't need a very powerful system). I would recommend surfing around for any reviews on the system.. ..(may not find...
