UPDATE: O.K.......After taking everybody's suggestions, I re-adjusted my crossovers back to the standard default of "120". I then played a few Demos including Gladiator, U-571, Titan AE, Toy Story 2, and JPIII...I also used my SPL during the Demo and had an average reading of 95db during...

Nick, Thanks for the help and suggestions......Here is more information that may help: 1) I bought the RT35i brand new about a year ago....I had used them "Stacked" on top of my RT800i using the A+B switch since my old Sony STRDE945 Receiver set at 4ohms let me play the 800's on "A" and the...

Thanks for the replies.... I have always set all speakers to "small" and the cross-over is at 90.... Should I consider changing my cross-over (Higher/Lower)?? I think Aaron has suggested changing it to 100 - 150...any other opinions out there ?? Tom

Aaron, Thanks for the reply.... Are you saying it's OK to flip my switch over to 4-Ohms and leave it there "permanently" even though all of my speakers say 8 Ohms ?? Does this also hold true if I am listening to 2 Channel Music? Also, based on your response, it sounds like my speakers...

Please explain what happened.... Last night I added 2 rear surrounds and changed over from 5.1 to 7.1 --- When I was finished I put in my Gladiator DVD to enjoy the new set-up and it sounded great. Then during a loud battle scene when a catapult shoots a fire-ball, my Sony 4ES completely shut...

Hey, I just checked my post again and....Wow...thanks to everybody for all the replies!! Well, after much research, I decided to go for the best Picture Quality and Features (over my obsession to get a black unit) at a reasonable price...and Friday I ordered the DVD-CP72S in Silver from...

OK...I guess I have given up on the CP72K in Black.... So here are my two remaining choices.... Panny CP67K (5-Disc) -OR- Panny RP62 (Single Tray) Please let me know your opinions on these two models. Thanks again, Tom

Hey guys, Thanks for your help..... Yes, I do agree that the CP72 is a better unit then the CP67 but I am having trouble finding the CP72 in BLACK !! I actually have "3" orders in for a CP72 at 3 different stores and they are all on "Backorder" I just found a store in New York City that...

I am in the market for a new Progressive Scan DVD player in the $150-$300 range (currently looking at the Panny CP67K & 72K or the Sony equivalents) My question is the Pros/Cons of getting a "5" disc changer vs. a "Single Tray" unit. I realize the benefits of being able to loan in 5 DVD's at...

Just a brief follow-up to this thread: I made a "Road Trip" to the now famous Samman's Electronics in Wayne, NJ last night and picked up the Sony Str-DA4ES (Since it was confirmed that they are in fact an authorized Sony-ES dealer). Not the best show room for a Demo, but since I knew what...

O.K. Maybe we can put this to bed once and for all: I just got the following apology e-mail from Sony Customer Service: QUOTE: I apologize for the inconvenience caused to you. I made an error in my previous mails. At the zip code "07470", the following are authorized dealers: SAMMANS...

Sony Authorized Dealer Update: O.K. Who do I believe now?? SONY E-MAIL QUOTE: The retailer that you have mentioned is not an authorized Sony dealer. I am afraid Sony does NOT honor the warranty if the product is purchased from a non-authorized dealer. E-Mail Quote From Dennis at...

Hey, thanks for all of the feedback. Now I guess my next question is where to buy the 4ES at the best price. I have heard a few people who bought this receiver from Sammans Electronics in the NY/NJ area. They quoted me $615 Shipped, but Sony tells me they are NOT authorized and thus NO 5-Year...

A Question for my fellow SONY Receiver Users: I am currently using the Sony STR-DE945 and have been fairly happy with the features and overall sound with HT. I do feel it is somewhat lacking Power in the Center Channel Output and at times in 2 Channel Stereo. I have been reading a lot of...

I know how you feel....I have a similar problem - only different.... I got a new SVS 25-31PCi about 6 weeks ago and it continues to amaze me for both Music and HT.....BUT now I am trying to talk the SVS Sub into letting me go out to get a Wife...But it continues to produce loud, clean...

Chris, About two months ago I asked your same question to the Forum, and got the same answers that you have. I was still in doubt....so I calibrated my system by ear, and then went out and bought the Rat Shack SPL meter (nice surprise - it was actually on sale that week for $29.99) My...

Fellow SVS Owners, please help... SVS Ron...(and Parker) As a follow up to your questions above: > Sorry for the delay in responding....I had to take advantage of the nice weather to play some Golf & watch Hockey Playoffs on TV....But last night I was able to take the time to properly set...

Parker, Thanks for your interest and concern....Yes, my new SVS Sub just arrived on Tuesday morning 4/30/02. You can read more about the arrival on my other post to this forum called: It's a Boy (A Very Big Boy) {Sorry...I don't know how to insert a link to that post, but it's still on...

What is the general definition for the "Front Corner" Of The Room?? How close to the Front Wall and Side Wall would be considered the Front Corner? Just opened my SVS 25-31PCi last night, and since the sub is a round cylinder, can it go as close as 3" to each wall, or is that "Too Close"...

After about 30 days of patiently waiting, I would like to take a moment to announce that my "New Addition" has finally just arrived from SVS Heaven: Date: April 30, 2002 Time: 11:10 am Weight: 66 lbs. (Big Boy!!) Length: 31 inches Eyes: 25 Hz Brain: 325...

I really enjoy Bare Naked Ladies!!!!!!..... Oh wait...this is a music question.....OK, for a good CD to workout my sub I really enjoy Barenaked Ladies - "All Their Greatest Hits: 1991-2001" A good recording with strong quick bass!! Tom

Finally it's my turn..a week after starting this thread....Order# 3183 for a 25-31 PCi... shipped out Friday 4/26 and due here in New Jersey on 4/30....I have my nose pressed to the window just in case in arrives one day early....otherwise 24 hours and counting !!!! Tom

As Tom Petty Sings..."The Waiting Is The Hardest Part" !! For the past "3" weeks I have been "Addicted" to reading all of the posts when somebody receives their tracking number for their new SVS sub, and then they start looking out the window waiting for "Brown" to pull up. Then they...

I have also seen this mentioned.....Does this "Custom Tuning" from 25 down to 22 cost extra?? If so, how much?? Is this done at the SVS factory before they ship out a new unit?? Thanks, Tom
