    Speakers and sibilance

    Cheers for the info guys. So maybe I should play a refercence dvd. What dvd or cd's contain absoluty no sibilence. I would think dvd's and cd's without words with sibilence sounds in them. So maybe a better question is what dvd's or cd'ss contain no excess sibilence.

    Is buying a decent digital coaxial interconnect worth it?

    Is buying a decent digital coaxial interconnect worth it?

    I don't know if the current cable is a 75 ohm coaxial. It just says high quality audio cable. Is there any way to tell. What happens if you use a analogue rca cable. Thanks

    Sounds above 3 KHz

    That is correct Richard. By the way can you damage tweeters if your amp clips. I do not mean destroy but alter there performance in a negative way. Or is it more a all or nothing thing. i.e. you blow your tweeters or you do not.

    Is a good 10" sub better than a average 12" sub??

    Thanks for the info Jeff sounds like the c-10 is a winner. By the way $700 nz is about $350 US :) . I quite like the towers, they seem to be very detailed and revealing which I am not used to. I need to break I my ear some more I think.

    Suggestions for subwoofer via LFE out

    Steve, does this mean if the sun is set at a crossover of 80 Hz, that the mains only get the info over 80 Hz rather than a full signal. The reason I ask is a have a HK 220 and it doesn't have any bass management for stereo mode. Hence connecting a active sub to the LFE the only option for stereo...

    sssss, sound with speakers

    Hi, I recently bought some aad c-series speakers and a Harmon Kardon avr-220. On dvd's and cd's I notice that the s sounds seem to be quite harsh or exaggerated. Is this pretty typical or is something causing it. I have also noticed this on other peoples systems.

    Is adding a sub worth it?

    Greg, In the HK 220 you cannot set the front two speakers to small in stereo mode. Hence you cannot really use the crossover for music. You have to send a full signal to your mains and all stuff under 80Hz to the sub as well.
