I keep them off all the time. They look better, and for some reason sound alot less localized (to me anyways) with them off. No kids, animals or other factors to concider for the saftey of the drivers. Dust shoulden't be a problem, just go at them with a duster every few days. I actually...

You must have gotten them while they were on sale already. The AS-C1 is $229, same as the B1's, and the F1's are $499 regularly.

Currently have the AS-B2's as fronts, B1's for surrounds, C1 centre, and the AS-P400 sub. It's in a bedroom, so the Panny SA-HE100 is powering them. I'm itching for a new reciever, but until I move, anything above this would be overkill. I love the system though. Coulden't ask for more.

You have joined the leagues of the informed and un-ignorant. Go forth and spread the word! ;)

If you want a flat screen, any of the Toshiba models are great. I have the 24AF42 and it was about $550 CAD (if your friend doesn't mind going a bit over). I chose the Tosh over the Sony because i've heard numerous reports that their gemoetry is worse than the other brands.

Check the DVD case. Does it say DD EX 5.1 or 6.1? I've only seen EX material in 5.1, never 6.1.

A question, click the "related items" tab in the Parts Express link above, the third item is a 120W Subwoofer Amplifier. Would this be ok to power the shakers? I know nothing about external amps so any info would help :P

If you want some heavier stuff, check out the CD "Domination" by Morbid Angel, specifically "Ceaser's Palace". Regular bass dips during the intro (which lasts about 2 minutes). My whole house shakes when I play this CD.

Ok, set everything up. Direct in with speakers set to small (xover at 100hz) is optimal for movies, while the Sub In with the mains set to large and the xover at 55hz is optimal for music. Switch them around and they don't have the same impact.

Ok, thanks alot for clearing that up for me. I'm out to get the sub right now, it would have been a pain not knowing this stuff. So direct in it is. The high xover on the reciever shoulden't affect it too much, it's an extremely small room (about 9 x 12 if I remember correctly with 8 foot...

Friggin dyslexia, I always read it as Mantraz.

Hmm, are you sure? The lowest the reciever xovers at is 100 hz. After that, it's 150, then 200 hz. As from my last post, "The crossover frequency is variable from 40Hz to 120Hz. A convenient feature of the crossover control is that it is marked to indicate the position that matches each...

It's the Athena AS-P400, you can check out the back of it here : http://www.audioadvisor.com/store/im...?sku=ATHASP400 Just switch to back and zoom in. [edit] Darrin, you actually nailed it on the head. From a review: "There is also a single RCA line-level Sub Input as well as a Direct...

Alright cool, I'll probably end up just using one sub cable without the Y adapter if it doesn't make a diffrence. Where would you connect it though, the Sub In or the Direct In (on the subwoofer)?
