So if I understand you properly Ron, I would not use the 2-RCA sub inputs on the sub (one bypasses the sub X-over and the other uses the sub X-over) and instead use the High level connection and adjust the bass using the low pass filter on the sub. Their LPF ranges from 50-100Hz, would I want...

Sorry, the X-over is at 80Hz. MikeLobos

I believe the Denon 1802 X-over is at 100Hz. The manual states nothing of the sort, but on this forum people have stated that it is 100Hz. MikeLobos

I might try this and see if it can improve the sound of my system. What is the difference between letting the receiver's X-over do the work or letting the sub's, besides the variable X-over? With this arrangement, how do you control the volume of the sub seperate from the speakers when I...

In the Take 5.2 speaker manual it says to set the receiver settings to "Large" for normal listening levels, but if you frequently listen to loud levels set it to "Small". The subwoofer manual says if your receiver has a internal X-over and an sub RCA out (which the Denon 1802 does) set the...

www.sounddistributors.com for shopping. Their prices are not the lowest, but their warranty policy is fantastic. MikeLobos

Thanks for all of the help everyone. MikeLobos

Here's a question: Why would Energy recommend setting them to "Large" if this is not appropriate? MikeLobos

I just got the Take 5.2 + S8.2 system and paired it with a Denon 1802 receiver. The speakers are rated to 100W and the receiver is 80W/channel. I have tried setting the speakers to "small" and "large" but I don't know which I should go with. Energy's manual says to set them to "large" to...

Dennis B, I know for my Denon 1802 there is a way to initialize the microprocessor. You should check your manual. MikeLobos

Nate, You should look at the Marantz 5200, Denon 1802, Okyo 595 and Yamaha. These are all good receivers around $500. I just bought the 1802 and could not be more happy with it. MikeLobos

Bill, How much are you looking to spend? Do you want a touchscreen or a hard button remote? Under $100, you can not beat the Radio Shack and One for All remotes. They are hard button remotes. There is much more than meets the eye with these remotes. Their manuals don't even scratch the...

I have heard that you can get manufacturer's to fix equipment bought from non-authorized dealers by calling them directly and claiming you got it as a gift with no receipt. Here comes my 0.02: I think the whole non-authorized vs. authorized dealer clause is ridiculous. If a company makes a...

Are you sure etronics does not honor the full manufacturer's warranty? I recently purchased from a non-authorized etailor and they will honor the full manufacturer's warranty for the full length of the warranty. I just have to send the equipment to them. They fix it for free and even refund...

Bob_A, I would not feel too uncomfortable about buying speakers online. In fact I just setup my first HT system this past month. I price matched a Denon 1802 receiver at ABT electronics and bought the Energy Take 5.2 + S8.2 sub system from an online store. The speakers came in great...

KevinO, Audiosurvey.com is a good site. I would also recommend checking out the Better Business Bureau's 2 sites at www.bbb.org and www.bbbonline.org. Reputable dealers are usually registered with the BBB. Lobos

Sorry everyone for the extremely large font. I have finally licked the problem. MikeLobos

Todd, You should look at Radio Shack's new remotes. I am thinking about getting the 6 in 1 remote (#15-2104). It is a learning remote that can control up to 6 devices. It is backlite. The really cool feature is that it has a 2 color backlight that only lights up the buttons on the remote...
