I have the Onkyo DXC380 and I love it, best cd player I have ever owned :) However you might want to know that this is comming from a HT newbie and I have never listened to any of the other cd players you listed. I got the onkyo cause it was fairly cheap and it matches my TX-DS595. Put it...

Thanks alot for the advice. When i get home i am going to try and hook the cable up from the box to VCR to Receiver and then see if I get a stereo signal. If that doesn't work then I am gonna try to listen to off air programs and see if I get a stereo signal there also. If my cable is not...

Thank you very much for you reply. I think the reason I like all cannel stereo better than PLII is maybe because I am really never setting in one spot when I listen to music. Tonight I will try and listen to PLII music when sitting in the "sweet spot" and maybe I can get a better understand...

Hi guys, I just have a couple questions about My Onkyo TX-DS595 and Pro Logic II. Keep in mind that I am extremely new to HT. I have never heard DD, DTS, or pro logic until I got my gear about a month ago. My concerns are about Pro Logic II. I heard all these wonderful things about it and...

I have a question also. I have the TX-DS595 and a set of Klipsch Quintets with KSW-10 sub. Right now I have the speakers set to small and my sub is connected to the sub output. So basically my speakers are getting 80hz and above and my sub has a crossover (which cannot bet turned off) that...

I know this is way off topic (well sort of) and maybe I cannot understand because I have only been married for 1.5 years but why do men let their wifes tell them what speakers they can and cannot buy? I am 28 years old and if I want some BIG ass speakers that totally mess up the decor then I...

Well I just recently got into home theater but I have been an car audio junky for about 10 or so years so my ears know what they like :) I tried out alot of receivers and cd changers and went with the Onkyo TX-DS595 and the TX-C380. To me this was the best receiver deal I could find, and not...

My receiver is a Onkyo TS-DX595 and my Cd changer is a Onkyo C380. Both have really sturdy steal frames. The reason why I was asking is cause even though the CD changer is sturdy, the receiver weights in at around 25-27lbs (or so) which is pretty heavy. I will check out the "feet" tonight and...

Rick, sorry I can't answer your question. I am in the same boat as you. Anyway guys, one more question. The reason I stacked the cd changer on top of the receiver is cause the receiver is sooooo heavy. Do you think I will have a problem putting the reveiver on the cd changer because of the...

Thanks for the replys. My cd changer is the onkyo c380 6 disc. I will put the cd player on the bottom as soon as I get home. You guys don't think that I will have a problem like that do you? I plan on keeping it like that until I move into a house in April. Then I am going to get a Sony...

Hi guys. If you remember me you will know that I am a newbie to HT but I have been reading your post almost every day. My question: I have a very small TV/Stereo stand and don't have much room for my Onkyo 595 and Onkyo CD changer, PS2, VCR, Cable Box, etc. Right now I have my Cd changer...

Wow, I am happy to see some other people from Columbus in this forum. Kinda suprised but happy :) It is funny you mentioned Audio Encounters cause I live right down the street from there. Have either one of you guys went to Audio Encounters and listened to the Klipsch Quintet with the...

Thanks alot for the replies. I will pick up the meter and one of the disks mentioned tonight and hopefully have the time to sit down and calibrate it correctly. It saddens me to hear the the Onkyo test tones are not "right". Wonder why? What do you guys mean it isn't right? Are the tones...

I am pretty new to home theater, I have only had my equipment for a couple of weeks and I have tried to calibrate my receiver and speakers by ear and though I had they set quite nicely. Then I start reading about using a SPL (?) meter and wondered how much better they would sound if I did it...

Hi guys, I have never posted here before but I had to now. I cannot believe you think this game is boring. Maybe it is just me but I cannot put this game down. I admit it is kinda boring at first when you have a POS car and have to race for $1000 at a time but once you make your first million...

Not sure what you are looking for but I am new to this also and here is what I put together a couple of weeks ago. Receiver = Onkyo TX-DS595 = $400.00 Speakers = Klipsch Quintet (5 speakers)=$330.00 Powered Sub = Klipsch KSW-10 = $245.00 Total = $975.00 I also added a Onkyo DS-C380 cd...

Not to sound bad or anything but I pretty much do what I want. Wife decorates the bedrooms, bathrooms, living room, kitchen, etc while I get to decorate the IMPORTANT parts of the house. You know the basement hometheater room, the weight lifting/workout room, my spare bedroom/office, and the...

Hi guys, I have a Klipsch KSW-10 subwoofer and I just got my hometheater up and running. I am pretty new to all this and have one small question concerning my sub. On the back it has a "phase" switch labled "0" and "180". what does this mean, do, etc.? Thanks JamesMartin

John, thanks alot for responding and helping me out. I will try both ways tonight and see which one is better but before I do that I will read my manual and see what it says about what you suggested. I haven't had a chance to throughly read it (it is like 47 or so pages). I will let you know...

Hey guys, I am really new to home theater and I am very excited to get it set up and running last night, I am sooooo sleepy today Anyway, the following is what I hooked up: -Onkyo TX-DS595 -Onkyo DX-C380 to digital optical input 2 -Sony PlayStation 2 to digital optical input 1 with the...

Hey thanks for the welcome. I am really excited about getting this set up. I auditioned the Take 5 system along with the Klipsch Quintets and a couple of Polk sets, sony, Bose , Yamaha, JBL, etc. For the money I kept comming back to the Take 5 and the Quintets. I do listen to alot of...

Hi everyone, first off I would like to say that this seems to be a great forum. Everyone seems very mature unlike some other forums I belong to because of my other interests. I am brand new to home theater but being into car audio for a number of years I can appriciate truly good, clean sound...
