    HK AVR 130 to a power amp?

    HK AVR 130 does not have pre-outs for a power amp. Is it possible to use the tape out? or the coax audio out? Does it make any sense to set up a power amp just for the front main speakers? The speakers I have are Athena AS F2.2. I have the rest of the AS series for center and surrounds but...

    new subwoofer recommendation

    Try the Athena AS-P6000 for $299 at Audio Advisor. I have it and enjoy it. If you have a fairly large space, this is great way to go.

    Athena AS-P series subs. Opinions?

    I just got my P6000 and it's awesome. I currently have it set on 3-4 out of 10 in terms of volume, and it's great. I hope it lasts more than a year.

    Audio Advisor - Canadian purchases

    They had some technical difficulties and trouble shipping, but they eventually got it out two weeks after the order. It arrived in 6 days though!! WOW! I have to say that their telephone service was excellent. Always someone there to answer my questions, and they were a pleasure to deal with...

    How do I choose a subwoofer cable?

    I might just use a cheap video cable with the yellow RCA connector. Or I might just buy a "subwoofer" cable. I found this one (link below) at cablesforless. Is gold plating really important? This doesn't appear to have it. http://www.cablesforless.com/index.a...OD&ProdID=2718

    How do I choose a subwoofer cable?

    I'm getting close to owning my first subwoofer and need to buy a cable to connect it. What things should I consider when buying a cable? i.e. does length of cable affect performance? What is a subwoofer cable? Could I just use a regular coax audio cable that I use for my dvd player? Any...

    A question for all the fellow Canadians? What has your cross border Audio Advisor purchase been like? I'm thinking of buying an Athena AS-P6000 subwoofer from www.audioadvisor.com for $300US. I'm prepared to pay approx 30% extra for taxes and duties, but is there anything else I should...

    Center channel - small or large

    I've currently got the center and surrounds set to small with the crossover at 60hz. That's what their specs are. I do find that I get more bass with the center set to small, but I find that the soundstage is more...matched? seamless? dispersed? Not sure how to describe it, but it sounds more...

    Center channel - small or large

    I do not have a sub. Why do you say small? When I set it to small, I can also set the cross over to 60hz. Do you think I should set it to 80hz instead since some speakers claim ranges, but don't actually go as low as they claim? Does all this....large, small, 60, 80 really make much...

    Center channel - small or large

    Should I set my center to "small" or "large"? I can't decide. Do I need to worry about damaging my center if set to large? Note it is brand new, and not broken in. The Frequency is 60hz - 20Khz Here's what I have: Center - Athena AS-C1.2 Fronts - Athena AS-F2.2 - set to large Rears -...
