I have a Dish 6000 which is connected to my Lexicon MC-8 for audio(optical). I was given a Tivo but can't decide how to connect it. I don't care if its only 2 channel for recordings but when I'm watching live I want 5.1 if it is available for that show. I have the HD connected directly to the...

The RP-91 has been an admiral performer and given a couple years of good service. What would be an upgrade to the 91 in the sub 1k area. Thanks, Steve

Well, Tom finally has given me the green light to let the cat out of the bag! Whew! I have lived with the Ultra for several weeks almost a month now and I have to say this will be the last sub I will buy. Unless its another PB2 Ultra. Tom and Ron were gracious enough to let me Beta test the...

Wonder what everyone thinks about this article and this cable? To bad AR went Bankrupt, hope the new company brings back the cables.

I have a PB2 and a Von Schweikert S/3 sub connected to the sub out on a Lex MC-8. I'm eq'ing them with a BFD. I am having phase problems I believe in the upper frequencies from say 80 to 160hz. I am using the crossover in the pre/pro and have disabled them in both subs. The crossover on the Lex...

I have a PB2 and a Von Schweikert S/3 sub. I have eq'd them with the BFD but am having trouble with the front L/R fighting the subs in the 100hz to 160hz area. Here are the reading I get after giving an -18db. cut centered at 40hz with a 1/3 octave bandwidth. This is in 2 channel mode on the Lex...

I have 2 subs a PB2 and a Von SChweikert S/3. The PB2 is connected to in/output 1 and the S/3 is connected to in/output 2. Which is the Left channel and which is the right. Is the SVS connected to input/output 1 the left or the right? How do I get both the left engine and the right engine active...

I have 2 subs. The SVS is connected to in/output 1 and the Von Schweikert S/3 sub is on in/output 2. Which is left engine and what is right? Is in/output 1 the Left channel and 2 the right? Also I need to set each sub differently so I do not want couple mode, how do I get the Left and Right...

I know the Lex sets itself at 00 when running internal test tones but what do I set it on when playing a CD with bass test tones. I am using it to EQ my subs with the BFD. It seems it would be vry loud if I set it at 00 when playing a CD. Thanks, Steve

I have a JVC S-3500u S-video VCR. I connected the video out of the vcr to the s-video 3 in of the MC-8.I connected the in from the vcr to the Zone 2 out s-video on the MC-8. The audio I did the same. I have the monitor connected to the Main Video out and the Satellite connected to S-Video 1 on...

Wow is this a Monster and I thought the Servo 15a was big. So far have only had it up and running an hour but it is definetly doing the job in my 7500 x3 room. Tom, you were right this is one heavy mother. It took two to get it in the house. The packing job was great and it arrived in pristine...

:D This is the look that has been on my face since Saturday when I replaced the MC-1 with the MC-8. Set up is about the same as the MC-1. I like the new menus and the flexibility of crossover settings. so far the on/off and volume controls are the same on the Mc-8 as was the MC-1 when using my...

I'm in the process of hooking the 8 up. How do I hook up the S-video VCR to record satellite. Also do I need the sub limiter on or bass limiter on? I did not have these on on the MC-1. I am using a BFD to equalize the subs. It seems if I calibrate with a spl meter to 75db's and set my crossovers...

I initially ran my frequency sweeps with a Servo 15 and Von Schweikert S/3 sub. I used the tones on the B&K REf 30. Since then I sold the Ref 30 and replaced it with the MC-1.I have sold the Servo 15 and have a PB2+ on order and have traded the MC-1 for the MC-8.will I have to run new sweeps and...

I have a Marantz RC5000i and need CCf files for the MC-8. I currently have the MC-1 and I'm sure these will not work on the 8. Thanks, Steve

I have a Marantz RC5000i remote and need the 8's CCF files. I have the MC-1 at present but I know the 8 will be a different beast.BTW Remote Central only has the MC-12. Thanks, Steve

I have the opprotunity to trade in the MC-1 for a very great price. It would mean going in debt. Yet in a year the trade in won't be available at this price. Is there a vast difference sonic wise between the 8 and the 1? My thoughts are that in a month the MC-1 will be worth about $1500 and it...

I know Tom or Ron will chime in here but for those out there with SVS subs how do you rate there performance for Music? Being a ported sub versus a sealed sub. From what I heard most say a sealed sub is tighter,quicker and has less overhang than a ported sub.Of course the ported might have...

I have had my BFD for about 8 months now. I sit in an area where I can not see the led / blinking lights on the BFD.Today I happen to sit on the couch and was watching Blade II and was able to see the led's. Wow, at -10 dbs on my MC-1 the red light was flashing constantly, yeow! clip level. I...

I happened to be watching HBO tonight and they played the Fifth Element in AC3 2.0. I have had this DVD since the first release and it is one of my Demo DVD's for company. I swear with Logic 7 it is hard to tell the difference between 5.1 and 2.0 material. I am about 90% HT. DSS and DVd's. I...

Sitting here contemplating this issue right now.I wish the 8 had the outputs for 3 subs.

I have been to Lexicons web site and looked at the spec sheet but it said nothing about the BM. Is it the same as in the MC-12? Has anyone heard a price? Just when I was satisfied with the MC-1 they break loose with the MC-8. The 12 was a little out of my budget, I hope the pricing is...

When setting output levels on the BFd should I set the sub levels in the speaker output menu or use the peak limiter? I calibrate both the subs to the spl meter by using the volume located on the subs. When calibrating both subs to 75db's should I set each sub at 70dbs to allow for the 6 decibel...

I saw that Albert realizing that these economic times require new market stratagies has started on a line of budget speakers.These are the VR3.5's VR4's and so on. From what I understand they will be the same drivers but will not incorporate high end crossovers and High end internal...
