    Problem with Onkyo Reciever

    Now the problem isn't major now, but I'm afraid it could turn into something major in the future. My roomate came up to me saying that there was no sound coming out of the speakers. I figured they messed with some setting on the tv or reciever since they're always changing stuff around. I...

    Calibrating questions

    So I finally got a subwoofer and decided that it was about time I calibrated my speakers. Right now I just have the Axiom 22's for the mains and the jbl pb-10 for the sub, hooked up to an Onkyo 595. I buy the AVIA disk and an SPL meter and get ready to party. Now, I finished calibrating it...

    Subwoofer question

    I finally got my reciever and mains hooked up and decided I need a subwoofer, the m22s sound great but little bass. Anyway, I was wondering how safe it was to buy a used sub. Since some people might really push them, would a year old sub be safe to buy, or should I just get a new one...

    Advice on speaker stands

    Thanks for the replies I was thinking of building my own, but I'm at school now and don't have access to any tools, and it will be three weeks before I go home again, and I can't wait that long to start using these. Thanks

    Advice on speaker stands

    I finally got a receiver, speakers, and cables, now all I need are speaker stands. After deciding on everything else I thought this would be easy, but no, it's not allowed to be. I bought the Axiom m22s and think 18" stands will be the best height, but I can't decided on what types of stands...
