This thread hurts, but its been two years since I have actually been able to use my sub and it looks like its going to be a while before I have a chance to use it again on a regular basis so its best that it goes to someone who can make use of it. First the history, as best as I can piece...

of my svs bottoming out. before i had an underpowered amp and its own clipping protection circuitry would engage well before any bottoming out would occur. but now im running with plenty of power and it was bound to happen. i was demoing the 'return to coruscant' scene from attack of the...

i purchased a crown CE1000 to run my SVS 20-39CS+ and was just wondering where other people have the gain control set after calibration. right now i have it about halfway after calibrating by ear. my friend will be returning my SPL meter and calibration disc soon and i will be calibrating it...

my new amp (crown CE1000) only has XLR balanced inputs, and obviously my denon 2802 only has an unbalanced RCA type output. now, ive read as much as i can about the connections on her, but search results are hit and miss, so i still have a question: what is the cheapest way to switch...

I'm just wondering what amps people use to power their cs+ subs. i have a 20-39+ running off a peavey amp that i got real cheap (25 dollars). its only [email protected] and i want to get the full potential of my sub. all suggestions are welcomed, but im really hoping to get some suggestions for amps...

i recently bought a kv27f13 used for 300 dollars. about 10 minutes ago, an ad was posted selling a kv27f200 for 225. now would anyone who has seen both or is familar with both generations consider it worth my trouble to try to buy the newer one and then sell the old one? other than it...

Hi everyone, i recently bought a 2802 off of a forum member and there seems to have been some damage during shipping. it would appear that the input mode button on the front got pushed all the way inside the front faceplate. everything else seems to be working correctly and it doesnt look like...

over 6 channel ones at the current moment? as far as movies go, there arent any true 7.1 channel formats, right? so either you are stuck using a dsp (if the reciever even has one) to try to extract 4 back/surround channels from 2 or 3 surround channels (5.1 or 6.1)or they are useless...

i got a new sub today, and have been playing with it all day. i used a tone generator and made pure sine waves at 20hz, 19hz, 18hz, 17hz, and 16hz, and then burnt it onto a cd from the .wav file. i put it in my dvd player (its also the cd player at the moment) and played the first track...

i have an onkyo 575x and jbl nsp1 plus a pair of n26s. the pair of n26s is being used as the mains and one pair of n24s is being used as computer speakers (i live in a dorm room). the problem is that with the internal A/B switch in the onkyo the B speakers can only be set to large, there is...

so i just bought a peavey cs 400 stereo power amp really cheaply beacuse the one channel isnt working correctly and the owner didnt feel like fixing it. anyways, even if i cant get the other channel working (which i think i probably can fix anyways, given the number of my friends which are...

not necessarily a thread directly about speakers but... my friend was waiting for another bus as he just missed the one he meant to take. some guy came up and asked for some change so he could call his boss and he looked genuine so he gave him the change and the guy called his boss. so the guy...

i own an onkyo 575x reciever and i recently got another pair of speakers. i live in an oddly shaped (but convenient)dorm room and the way its set up i have is the HT part of the room is in the middle and my desk is off to the side. i want to be able to use the extra pair of speakers as...

i have the nsp1 one right now, and wanted to upgrade the mains to either the n26 or n28. i plan on using the old n24s as the "b" speakers around my computer (as right now the setup is a bit funny and i have to move speakers all the time). now, i unfortunately missed out on jandr's good deal on...

i already have the nsp1 set. however, i cant help myself but want to upgrade, and i was looking at either the n26 or n28 bookshelf speakers. a couple questions: 1) are either of these a useful upgrade, as they will be used for music and HT? 2) Is the n28 better than the n26, especially...

perhaps the SVS guys could help me out since i know you are from youngstown... are there any decent audio equipment stores in the area? im specifically looking for a place that would sell grado headphones. i figured this was the most relevant forum here. grado's site didnt seem to have a...

so i went to radioshack and bought an analog soundmeter, put the 9volt battery in (and yes, i put it in the right way), set it to c-weighting and slow response. and i cant get it to work. when i set the range for the battery test, it shows the battery as being fine (and it should be i just...

wouldnt it be easier if all manufacturers used a similar scale for their receivers' volumes? i hear people having their volume knobs at -20, or 00, or whatever. my receiver goes from 0 to 70. and then most are linear, right? yet my onkyo is logarithmic. what is the deal with all these...

since i am home for midsemester break i am going to use the oppurtunity to goto stores to get the cables necessary to connect the digital out on my SB live! to my reciever. i just want to make sure i get the right ones... so the output on the sound card is a 1/8" plug, and i will be using a...

on denon's website its under specialty audio instead of home audio, i cant find it on any of their authorized e-tailers websites for sale (which is a big problem, but now my curiousity is piqued), but it seems to have really good specs for its price ~$300 with shipping. does anyone know what its...

unfortunately, 2 years of ugrad and 4-5 years of grad work will force this infatuation with home theatres to simmer for a while. so i was sitting in class today, and we are in a computer cluster in a new building, so the room is really modern. As my professor was rambling on about the gibbs...

i had a thread a couple days ago about a present for my father, well i found the HTB-544 for around 400, so what the present is going to be has been decided. now i have a different question... how long do you think it will take to set this up? see, originally it was my plan to have it...

my sister and i are looking to get my father a present in the next month, and we have decided to help him upgrade his audio equipment. right now he has: old technics prologic 4-channel receiver old optimus bookshelf speakers for fronts even older optimus surrounds a sub with speaker...

i think i have things set up right, but i figured i would ask to make sure: onkyo tx-ds575x reciever jbl nsp1 speaker package jbl pb10 sub right now i have all the speakers set to small, subwoofer on, and the subwoofer set to LFE (as opposed to normal) which according to the manual...

DVD player definitely has digital out reciever definitely has dolby digital recording dvd is setup to output 5.1 audio stream would the good money be on me not having purchased the proper cable to connect from the reciever to the dvd player? if you dont think thats the problem i can...

i have this cable i got from radioshack, and i dont remember exactly what it is was originally for. it about 25' long, has gold RCA-type connectors on each end, there are actually two cables that are sort of bonded together (although its easy to pull them apart). one set of connectors has a...
