Greetings! Is there an AVR that can simultaneously output to optical regardless of what source is used? Some AVRs I've looked say "assignable" but it seems that I need to configure to "a" source instead of the AVR always simultaneously outputting to optical. I also didn't know if I'm...

Greetings! Love my SR-7000 driving B&W 603 S2 (left, right), LCR6 S2 (center), and 602 S2 (rears) and SVS sub (5.1). But I need to replace it; thinking of moving SR-7000 to office for sound-only. Reason for replacing SR-7000 that is in the family room is to get HDMI switching for easy of...

Greetings! I want to connect a wireless headphone, maybe two, to a Samsung TV's digital out. Looks like even when the digital out is connected it pipes sound simultaneously through the TV speakers so that will be great. However I'm a little confused as to: 1) should I go traditional...

Greetings! I need advice/tips on how to connect a wireless headphone so it can be simultaneously heard thru headphone & TV's speakers. First here are the components: 1. Samsung Plasma 450 Series (720p); 2. Samsung BD-D5700 Blu-ray Player; 3. Sennheiser RS170 wireless headphones; 4. Time Warner...

Finally sat down to calibrate my speakers & the new PC+16-46. I want to make sure I did it right & also have a question about the level of the sub. I used VE & calibrated all to about 75 on the Radioshack meter. I did it by setting the receiver volume to read "0" (since it's easy to...

Okay I've got the 2039PC+ pre-ordered & as the estimated date when they get the amp to start shipping closes-in, I'm wondering if I should change my order to 1646PC+ instead & have a question after reading numerous threads about this kind of stuff: what does it mean when 2039 can go louder...

Finally pre-ordered a 20-39PC+ couple days ago :D Just thought about this: what kind of cable do I need when this sub comes to connect to my receiver? Should I have ordered something along with the sub? Takosan

1. if you need to add a 2nd sub after-the-fact & you get a PC model can you just use a Y-cable(?) or something & use 2 PC models? 2. when was ETA on PC+ models (equivalent of CS+ but with amp)? TIA, Robert

If my speakers are rated 25w - 150w & if I want to use the preouts of my marantz receiver to feed an external amp, if the external amp is rated more than 150wpc will I ruin my speakers? TIA, Robert

Anyone know of a link/site that might explain this in detail? TIA, Takosan

Sometime ago I thought someone mentioned that the binding posts on the Marantz SR-7000 can take banana plugs? If this i correct how do I go about removing the plastic (red & black) in the binding post's cavity? I'm having a hard time keeping the 12AWG screwed in tight to the binding posts...

Is there a formula to use for which SVS subs? Roughly 4536 cu. ft. (21 x 20 x 10.8 high vaulted ceilings) with 8 x 5 opening on one side to kitchen. I was at the SVS website for the millionth time & now instead of the 20-39CS I'm thinking about the 20-39CS+ ... is it too much, too little, or...

Any other cable outfits I should consider? I've so far looked at bettercables & catcables. I just need two meters. If these above which? FWIW connect a modest (for me ... maybe entry level to many here ) JVC progrssive player to a Mits TV. For other sources (DSS & VHS) I currently have...

I hope third time is a charm & I can finally get the sub (I was close to ordering couple times but Murphy's Law struck ). Anyways, I think I'll stick with my prior decision of 20-39CS w/the Samson amp so that if I need a 2nd one, due to fairly decent family room size, I can add on. Just still...

I just finished painting one side of the shelves for the Flexy rack I'm building. I got 5/8" steel rods (zinc?) wanted to put spikes on the bottom. Does anyone know where I might be able to get some that would screw on to 5/8" rods? Also does anyone know how I can 'clean' these rods to...

Maybe I got this surround thing all wrong 'cause I've had the rear surrounds facing towards the front speakers but some of the drawing I saw tonight show the rear surrounds 'facing' each other? Is this right? Also can someone give me the URL again to sites on calibrating the speakers using...

I just spent the whole afternoon rewiring my speakers. I used homedepot 12AWG to bi-wire left/right/center & used 14AWG for the 35' run to the surrounds. My fingers are numb from all the twisting & re-twisting. I think they are in pretty good but I wonder if I should bother for plugs & such...

I know I'm being too paranoid but ... for rear surrounds is it better to line-up the tweeter with the listener's ears? Or is it that the ear should line up between the tweeter & the bass driver? Takosan

I should just plunk down the $210 to buy either one rather than keep reading everything I can click on ... my heads spun. Maybe one last question although I think my $210 goes to JVC (thanx ROn-P for the review) ... One thing I've noticed is that at this site: Link Removed they mention the...

I finally went to HomeDepot today & boguht 100ft of 12AWG speaker cables. I will be running about 20ft to each rear surrounds underneath in a crawlspace that gets pretty cold . Do I need to have the cable run through any other tubing (metal or other) in the crawl space? TIA, Takosan

With how DVD players can become obsolete(?) which makes more sense if I have to get a DVD player now: spend the buck now & get the RP-91 in anticipation of an upgrade to progressive TV in 3 to 9 months or save the buck & get the RP-56? Also where on the Internet is a good place to get the...

Is Outlaw's ICBM like the X20/X30 controllers from Paradigm? If so which has more bang for the buck? TIA, Takosan

This might be a dumb question but I'm wondering what I should do if I can't find speaker stands that have large enough top plate to match the surround speaker's footprint? Is it safe to just balance the speaker on a smaller top plate? I've been searching high & low for an affordable speaker...
