That's originally how I had it Paul when i first got got my 7.1 amp, with my towers in the corners & my bookshelves in between them. It just didn't sound that great. Once I moved my bookshelves to the sides & up higher, it really sounded good.
Anybody else have a 5.1 surround sound music setup that also has 7.1 movie setup. How do you place your speakers? I have 2 x Sinclair Audio SA285's in the front on either side of my entertainment centre. The left one is about 2 ft from the side wall & 1 ft from the back wall, toed in slightly...
Just checked out the infamous Darla tapping on glass scene from Finding Nemo. Freaking Awesome!!! My wife started screaming at me to turn it down before our house fell down around us. That's definitely worth the $820 + tax that I got the PW2200 for at Audio 5.1 in Edmonton AB. The scene where...
Thanks for the replies guys, I've been messing with it since I got it. (probably pxxxing off my neighbors) One thing I noticed is that Black Hawk Down never really kicked with the bass. I thought I had seen a review that said the bass was [email protected]#. Anybody else notice this?
Where did you hear that it's past it's break in period when you buy it? I was looking through this forum prior to buying the PW2200 and everybody made a note of saying that it takes some time to break-in. Just curious if you know this for sure.
Just did the big upgrade from a JVC 100 watt D1000 Sub, to a Paradigm PW2200. Wow what a difference. I had auditioned a Mirage S12 (new) and a Paradigm PS1200. The Mirage was definitely better than the PS1000, But I had to spend the extra $60 and go for the PW series. I left it playing AC/DC for...
Hi everybody. I don't know if anybody else has tried this or not. I am rigged up for DVD-a & SACD as well as 7.1 Home Theater. The problem that I have in my theater room is that there wasn't enough room for all my speakers. I tried with my back towers in the back corners with my bookshelves...
Hi Ian. I bought a set of the Sinclair Audio SA285 speakers about 6 months ago in soundsaround in Calgary AB. I wasn't sure about them until i plugged them into my JVC 8000 receiver that had loudness and rock presets. They sounded really good. I have had them hooked up to my Yamaha RX-V2400...
Do you happen to know anything about the bass management of this player. I know that the Pioneer 563-a has a really high 200 hz cutoff. I am hoping that the Kenwood is bettr.
I'm not sure if we're talking about the same thing. Empire comes up with a menu on my kenwood where i can choose surround hi-res and other styles. My pioneer only comes up with the menu when i'm on video mode and does not have suround as an option. only the stereo hi res and digital. on both...
Hi Rob, FWIW Kenwood has a dv-6050 with the faroudja chip and it also plays most formats including DVD-A, and is a five disk carousel. I haven't had it very long but it seems like a pretty good deal for the 180$$ canadian that i paid.
I just got the 563-a about 3 wks ago, and the only problem i've encountered so far was trying to play my Queensryche Empire DVD-audio disk. When i have it set to audio in the menu it does not come up with the menu like it does for my other dvd-a disks. When i switch it to video, there is no...
Thanx for the reply. I don't understand why more people didn't buy this dvd player. Other than not playing sacd's, this is a steal of a deal as far as i can tell. it has built in bas management for dvd-audio and sounds really good as far as i can tell. i bought the pioneer 563-a for sacd and...
Hi there. I was just wondering if anybody out there has used or heard anything positive or negative about this dvd player. It is a five disk dvd-audio capable (5.1) dvd player with the Faroudja DCDi chip. I picked it up for $180 at visions electronics and it seems to be a pretty good player, but...
Hi there, i have a pioneer dv-563a that i just picked up for $180 canadian.(good deal.) When i bought it i was trying to upgrade to a universal player with faroudja video processing. I ended up buying the pioneer for the audio, and a kenwood dv-6050 for the faroudja. My other option was the...
