The VSX-D810S is outdated, the new one VSX-D811S is almost the same (with a new display and some less features). I've a VSX-D810S for almost 1.5 years and I really love this recv, it sounds great for movies and good for music. You can see my HT equipmente here: ij.web1000.com (sorry the page...

I think all are great amps, I personally prefers the Pioneer, then the DENON, but of course, you should decide wich features are your preferred. The inputs/outputs options, the performance for movies/music, the sound processing modes (DSP) and setup abilities. Dollar by Dollar I think the 811...

I've a Pioneer VSX-810D (an older model) since 1.5 years ago and I'm very satified with the sound (both for movies and music), if money is a concern, why to change it? Almost every friend liked the sound, including those with expensier receivers. Of course, isn't perfect (the DTS modes are...

I have a Pioner VSX-810D, at beginning I used some small pioneer 100 watts speakers (5"x10"), but I upgraded to a fron N-38II and N Center and the sound was enhanced so far. My room is a little bigger, and use the HT for both Music and Movie Listening. Definitely you should buy the JBLs.

I've a similar config (Pioneer VSX-D810S [and older model], N38II mains, N-Center, 150 Sub, Pioneer HTP100 for back and surrounds) and I got a similar message trying to play a MP3 song at high volumen using a bad quality (96 kbps) songs. The source is an Onkyo MB-S1 Digital Music Server. The...

PD: I posted this in another forum, I didn't realized there was this forum open, so I'm putting it again here: I've around 6 month owning an Onkyo MB-S1 music library, a MP3 CD player with a built in 20 GB ddd. I've read a lot of articles and comments about the not so good of this devices...

I've around 6 month owning an Onkyo MB-S1 music library, a MP3 CD player with a built in 20 GB ddd. I've read a lot of articles and comments about the not so good of this devices (including one from Sound & Vision mag). Of course I know (and notice) the subtle difference in quality of MP3...

I'm agree with Tim, I lives in an apartment at the 15th floor in a 15 stories building (in a corner), but still I introduced myself to my neighbors and asked them about their complaint about loud music/movies, then I did some tests (with music and movie): Put some movie/music and went to my...

I changed my Front (L/R) from two small 8"x5" 100 watts for a JBL S38II floorstanding and the center for a N Center and it worth the additional floor space, my living room isn't so roomy (20' x 12'), but the sound was enhanced sooo much!! Jean H//

Hey you're right, I was thinking about the N' series (Northridge ones). I apologies for the mistake. Best regards, Jean H//

IMHO: I heard both S38 and S38II (costing here the same), and I preferred the S38II because: a) The sound was cleaner and louder (a litle bit), b) They looked nicer, c) They're more stable [yes, the S38 base is very unstable]. I can recommend the S38II over the 26s due the bigger size and...

I Just bought a JBL's N38II speakers to use with my Pioneer VSX-810D AV Receiver and they sounds AWESOME!! I definitely can recommend you the JBL.

Hey pals, thanks a lot!! I bought the JBL's N38II speakers and they sound AWESOME!!, my only complaint now is with my center speaker, so I'll change it to a JBL N Center II, it fits nicely in my HT table!!. Again thanks for your kindly, accurate and complete answers. Jean H//

First, thanks all of you!! I just entered this forum for simple curiousity and I've received a worth of good info!! I've seen/heard both the S38II and N38II and still I prefers the N38II. My borther told me to change the main speakers and set the old fronts to the "B" area, but I think I need...

I've seen a JBL N38II, and they looks like what I want, and the price is okey (about $400 here in Venezuela). They have the following features: Maximum Recommended Amplifier Power: 175 Watts • Impedance: 8 Ohms • Sensitivity (2.83V @ 1m): 90dB • Frequency Response (–3dB): 45Hz – 20kHz...

In this moments I can't afford to spend $1000-$1200 in an additional pair of speakers, but I have seen a Sony's speakers at $400 pair, they are rated at only 80 watts, but they have 2 "big woofers (18"), 2 medium and 2 tweeters, I'll use them only for sterero sources. Will this enhance the...

I've a Pioneer's speakers (part of package HT-710), and I likes its sound, the room is about 12" x 20". I like to ear at good volume (not too high), and the MP3s are recorded at 192kbps (and the quality is enough for me). Regarding the new speakers I'll setup them as B speakers to not modify...

Hi, I've a HT based in a Pioneer VSX-D810 100x6 watts amplifier using six small (10") speakers, each having a med + tweeter, labelled to handle 100 watts, also I have a subw (100 watts). The movies (5.1, DTS) sounds good, I'm satisfied with the movie sound, but I'm not with the stereo music. I...

I've a Pioneer VSX-810, with 6 10" speakers (100 watts) each with a med and tweeter plus subw; I think the music will be sound better if I buy two 100 watts floor standing speakers with more elements. I've seen a Sony speakers with 80 watts and 4 elements. Am I right? Using two full size...
