Open box item, speakers never hooked up. $125 shipped.

How do I get the proper level of bass with music and balance that with the proper LFE level for movies? With my receiver, Yamaha rx-v995, when I set the subwoofer using VE and SPL meter, I set it at -18. That sounds good with movies, but it's too low for music. It sounds better at -12 for CDs...

Hi, I am looking to upgrade my five year old Yamaha rx-v995. While reading about the rx-v2400 made me really want it, I also read about many people finding great deals on the rx-v3300. I mean people finding it for $600 new, from an authorized dealer. If I found a deal like that I'd give up the...

I just bought an HK AVR7200 receiver that has two optical inputs. I need three. I was told there are adaptors that take the optical cords from two devices and send them out with only one optical cord. Looking at the toslink adaptors I see online they are actually designed to take one optical in...

I have lots of redbook CDs and I love to listen to CDs in shuffle mode on a mega CD changer. You never know what track or artist will be next. I never listen to one CD all the way through. Are there any quality mega changers out there? I don't need it for DVDs as I have a Panasonic XP-30. I also...

Hi everyonne, I'm seriously considering buying the Panasonic XR-45 or the XR-70. My only question before I buy is about the high sub X-over. I've read here that one must run front speakers as large or it doesn't sound good. My question is can I/should I run *my* speakers as large and what would...

I got my Pioneer SD643HD5 last night. I have Video Essentials and understand how to calibrate it with that. My question is about all of the sets filters and which to have on/off. I'm talking about things like their viewing mode (STD, Ref Theater, User), color temp purecinema tone SVM...

My eight year old Mitsu 35" direct view (old school) TV is starting to go. The problem is I have not paid any attention to TV technology in the eight years since I bought the set. I'm only familiar with 4:3 direct view. I recently have spent time here trying to read and learn but all the terms...

I have a regular RF connection mono subwoofer cable and I want to try using both right and left inputs on my sub. I don't want to spend $50 for a new cable with a Y on one end. Does any place sell a Y adapter I could put on my existing cable? If so please point me in the right direction...

Used once, excellent condition. Going to try Avia. [email protected]

The CHT review of the nOrh has pretty much made my decision to buy the five 4.0 setup. I was deciding between these and the HTD towers. I have a couple of issues I was hoping the nOrh people could clear up before I buy. Just for background they will be paired with an Energy E:XLS10 sub (to be...

Just wondering how many use towers as rears and if you elevate them or not. If you don't how does it sound with them basically at ear level? Do you turn them down so they are not overpowering? Thanks, Satch

The rear surrounds in a 5.1 speaker system are the least important correct? I want to upgrade from my Energy Take 5 speaker system with Energy XLS10 sub. I know I want an SVS sub, but before I buy that I want to upgrade at least the mains and center. Plan A is right now I have enough cash to...

I have the Energy Take 5 set with Energy XLS10 sub pushed by Yamaha 995 in large room 75% movies 25% music. Overall I'm very pleased but the fronts lack for music, I wish the center did more with the movie dialogue, and I think the sub is a bit too boomy. I want to replace at least the front...

I've had a Yamaha RX-V995 receiver pumping an Enery Take 5 and Energy XLS10 subwoofer for a couple years. It's great for my needs. I recently moved the furniture around a bit and wife commented that we should fill the space up on the other side of the TV and a second subwoofer would look make...
