    Recommend a matching center

    Thanks Colin... I guess I was just thinking that there are many good choices for new front (L/C/R) speakers. Why not pick one that has a center in the same ballpark as my old L/R, so I don't have to suffer the 6 months until I can replace them. Again, my situation is probably 50/50 music/HT...

    Recommend a matching center

    Howdy all! I need help finding a new center speaker. It needs to match my existing speakers well enough, and have great L/R speakers available when I have the $$$ to upgrade them too. Right now, I have two Celestion 9 speakers as fronts. They are 3-way, ported, with a 1" titanium dome...

    Trouble balancing Onkyo 595 and sub using Avia

    Thanks, Richard, I got it to work, once I changed the connection from the DVD to the Onkyo 595 from Multichannel to Digital Coax. For some reason, when a DVD is connected to the Onkyo 595 with Multichannel inputs, the 595 will not allow me to change the level outs at the receiver and does not...

    Trouble balancing Onkyo 595 and sub using Avia

    Strangest thing... I was trying to use Avia to balance my sub (DIY: 12" PE Dayton DVC, 250W amp) and receiver (Onkyo 595). There's a level balance test in Avia that emits a high frequency tone in one speaker, and then a LFE tone in the sub. So a high tone comes out of the right surround, and...

    Ok, I think I can build this... :0 But do I need to buy a crossover? It looks like that PE 250 amp for $125 doesn't have one (but the remote control version does, should I buy that one instead?) --john milanski

    How simple can a DIY subwoof be?

    Hi all... I was all set to buy a Sony SA-WM40 subwoofer from BestBuy, when I ran across some DIY subwoofer posts. I'm handy and have the tools, but know NOTHING about speaker design... The question is: how simple is it? If I buy a Parts Express 12" DVC driver ($99) and a 250 watt PE amp...

    Help with speakers for an Onkyo 595

    Yep, I guess a sub (like the Sony SA-WM40) is a good idea... BUT, I'm still a little concerned about the speaker setup. I was hoping to save a little money by using the Celestion 3-ways as mains, and find three other, smaller speakers for the center and rears. But I'm concerned that whatever I...

    Help with speakers for an Onkyo 595

    Hi all, first time caller...! This is my first attempt at a HT setup. Based on the Forum, here's what I'm thinking... 1) own: Toshiba 32A40 32" TV, component in, 750 resolution 2) own: Celestion 9, 3-way (6-1/2", 4-1/2", 1" titanium) 100w speakers for mains 3) buy: Home Theater Direct Level...
