I would go with the H/K. I had a simular situation not too long ago between the H/K 225 and the Denon 1804. I went with the H/K because it has a warmer, fuller sound for music. I matched the H/K with JBL studio series speakers and the sound is sweet. Many people on this forum are really high on...
I've had the WS55809 for over a year now and have only used it twice. Originally, my pre construction house was going to be ready in December of last year...how ignorant of me to think that. Anyhow, we are closing in 20 days and I finally got the chance to really put my WS55809 to the...
I have the H/K 225 and it has a speaker callibration system as well as On screen display. I've had my H/K for about 3 months now and I couldn't be happier. Sound keeps getting better and better. I have not yet hooked up my 5.1 system because I am moving next month but there is no doubt in my...
Richard-- Thanks for the advise. I had a meeting tonight that ran til 10 pm but I will call the Guitar Center tomorrow morning and see what they tell me. I really do appreciate the help...I'll let you know how it goes. -Ozzie
Richard, That is it. That is the box that is not delivering. The electrical cord comes in to the sub straight to this box. The box has two cables that come out of it--one to the board and the other to the fuse. Does it still sound like a power transformer issue? If so, what could have...
I opened it up! Luckily, I am still around to seek advise! Anyhow, I think that the problem is that I have a blown amp. I put my ear to the box when I connected it and it definately sounds like there is a current into the subwoofer. I wish that I can explin more but please bear with me, I am a...
Tyler--thanks for the reply The problem is not the outlet. I did try plugging in another source and it worked fine. When I mentioned "previous set up" I mean that my father had the whole system (JBL SCS115) set up to a JVC stero receiver prior to me getting it. He had all the speakers connected...
The power indicator on the sub (JBL Bass15) does not turn on. Although the sub is a bit outdated, the woofers (and sub) are in excellent shape and hardly used. I have tried changing the fuse thinking that it may be the problem but to no avail? It may very well be an internal problem but what...
Thanks for the reassurance Angelo. How do you have your HT set up? I've read that the HK is superb musically but lacks a little in the HT department. Any tips on what'll give me optimal performance would be great. You guys are all fantastic and very helpful. I'd never do anything with...
Thanks! I just ordered the H/K from J&R. Just goes to show how much weight you experts have on my decision making...Can't wait to get it. I'll make sure to post a follow up thread on my thoughts. Thanks again for your much needed insight.
They are very close...too close! BTW-I will run the following speakers with the system: JBL N38II fronts JBL SAT10 rear JBL 100W sub (model # escapes me at the moment) (as you can tell, I am a newb...) Powering a 14X24 room... What does MP3 decoding do? AVR225 has it, SR5200...
Please help--need to make a decision today. Will be used as 70% Music and 30% HT They both have what I am looking for in terms of specs and they are both in the same price range. The SR5200 is refurb (from Auth. dealer) and the 225 would be new. On performance alone, which would you choose...
I am looking to purchase a receiver on eCost.com. Although it's a great deal, I don't know how reputable the company is. I am being extremely cautious because it's an "open box" item (their definition of an "open box item" is just that-not a refurb.). In surfing their site and reading all the...
Has anyone had this problem?: At the initial start up screen, after the unit makes its first call, my unit automatically reboots? I cannot get passed the "choose a local number" stage. After several calls to Sonic Blue (India and Texas), someone in their Texas office told me that lately...
Thanks guys...I guess I have to go out for a test drive.... Lance--of the subject: Which did you end up getting? The Q45 or the LS 430? It seems like the styling, 345 hp, and voice activated commands would be hard to beat yet it seems like people would rather spend more money to buy the...
I did mean a stand. It is just a bit low to my liking, guess I should have thought of that before purchasing it! I guess I will opt for plan B and try to build one...Although I have yet to place it in it's permanent home, I think it may be too low. Thanks for the help!
Actually, I need it in black. All my other components are black. As for the 811S, I just saw it for $274 with shipping. I really value Consumer Reports tests but then again, the 811S was never tested and you guys know your S#!%! Does the 811S have on screen display? At my first thread, I...
Lance- Per Consumer Report, the SA-HE100 can get up to 45 watts at 4ohms (even if it is for a couple of minutes). This may be an overstatement being that it has the HE100 pushing 85 watts @ 8 ohms. The only other listed receiver that can handle 4 ohms is the Yamaha RX-V430 amoung the tested...
Let me start by saying that I am new to HT. Any help is appreciated.
The most recent Consumer Report has the Panasonic SA-HE100 as the best receiver tested. It is also rated as a Consumer Report "Best Buy."
I am in the market for my first receiver and this Panny seems to be a clear choice. I...
Neeraj:
I too have just started to build my HT.
Just yesterday I went to a local retailer (Brandsmart) here in Miami. I had my heart set on the Sharp 55RWP4H being that it is on super sale for only $1089. Upon arriving to the store, I passed up some Mitsu's and thought, WOW, what a great...
I just purchased a Mitsu WS 55809...very impressive at the store (I have not received the set yet).
Couple of questions:
1. The set is HD-Upgradeable so how is it that I upgrade to HDTV? Is it through a digital cable box or do I need to buy a specific component to convert the set to HD...
I have the same Ionic Breeze air cleaners...they work! My friend that introduced me to the air cleaners has 3, indoor, cats. Needless to say, the air cleaners pick up most of the sheded hair and dust particles. Definately reccomended.
I just realized that the same question I asked must get asked several times daily.
Anyhow, my main concern is getting a system that can cover a room that size (20 X 16) and at the same time, make for a good system for entertaining.
Having said this, what should be my main priorities? I can...
