Thanks Lance, Thats what I was afraid of. My room is rectangular but about twice as long as wide. I would have to put the speakers about halfway back (legnthwise) but up near the ceiling. I'm using a Denon 3802 so for 5.1 material I could set the back speakers to play the same as the sides...

I agree 100% about the s-26's as I also replaced them with the s-38's. Problem is the wife will not let me put them or another set of 38's on the wall, too big. Any one interested in a pair of S-26's?

I would like to try a 7.1 set up. My current system is 4 S-38's & the S center. I have the 2 rear speakers in the back corners of the room. With my room layout I would have to leave the S-38's in the corners and hang smaller speakers somewhere in the middle. I'm looking at the S-36's. My...

Just picked up a couple pair of S-38's. Anyone have them on the wall? These are kind of big so I'm looking for a good sturdy bracket. Stands could be used but I want to keep the wife happy therefore wall mounting is my first choice. I haven't found anything yet that looks strong enough. Any...

Thanks Jeremy

Jeremy did you notice any difference in performance after switching to the PE amp?

I am beginning construction of an Adire Alignment box. Design says to use 2 3"x11" ports. Parts express has a 3"x11" for $12.30 (PN 268-350) or a 3"x 11.5" port for $3.87(PN 269-932). Any reason to spend 3x as much for the 11"one? Would half an inch make any real difference? For...

I replaced mine with the Dayton and cant believe the difference. definitely recommend. I also have considered upgrading the amp but have not done so yet. The driver is rated for 600W. If you will be doing a DIY box or tube I would pass on the plate amp and get a regular amp with more power. I...

I found the manual. Anyone help finding a remote? I am looking for RM-D715 or RM-D870

Thanks Bob. I have E-mailed Sony but I am not holding my breath wating for a reply.

Can anyone recommend a place to get an owners manual for this cd changer. I cant seem to find out much about this model anywhere, Goggle didn't come up with much of anything. If you have one or could point me in the right direction it would be much appreciated.

OK after checking the manual it says, "The in-phase component of the left and right channels is output from the center channel". I used NCH Tone Generator and recorded my own test tones in mono not stereo. With a mono signal shouldn't all of it be routed to the center? It appears I don't...

After some experimentation with test tones I have found that the center does indeed output appropriate levels of bass in all modes EXCEPT 5/7 channel mode. (original post was in error) I ran tones up to 200Hz and get no output from the center channel in 5/7 channel. My initial panic has been...

I moved the center speaker and connected the wires for the right channel. I didn't think of connecting the right channel speaker to the center. I'll try that first thing tomorrow with some test tones. When I did have the center hooked up to the right you could see the woofers move and feel the...

Just noticed a problem with the center channel output. I'm getting NO bass from the center speaker. Ive tried setting all speakers to large with no sub but it didn't make a difference. This happens in all modes even 5/7 channel stereo. Tried new speaker cable and banana plugs. If I hook up the...

No one has ever had any similar problems? Guess I will have to box up this POS again.

I just got my 3802 back, it has been in for service of some of the video circuitry. When I went through the setup screens I realized the settings for the crossover frequency were missing. Yes, I had it set to yes for subwoofer. After I finished with the setup screens I figured I should check...

I am in the process of doing exactly the same thing and was thinking about using a Tempest. Another member (Wayne Ernst)has been most helpful. He replaced his driver with a Dayton DVC (partsexpress.com)with great results. Here is a portion of the E-mail from him. "I didn't retrofit my...

Waynes experience with the Dayton DVC was excellent. (Thanks Wayne) Before I order one, can anyone who understands all the speaker parameters tell me if a Tempest would be any better or worse in this cabinet. With all the great reviews of the Tempest I'm just trying to eliminate the thought that...

Having budget constraints I bought an Audiosource SW-15. I would like to upgrade now and am curious if it would be worthwile to just replace the driver with a Tempest. I would like to build my own cabinet for it eventually. In the meantime would this driver work better than the stock one without...

I just picked up a Denon 1082 for less than I would have paid for the 520. I'll know in about a week if I made the right choice.

I have spent the last month looking at receivers and have narrowed it down to these 2. My usage will be 50/50 music/movies. I just recently purchased a DVD player so most of my library is VHS. From what I have read I think the logic 7 on the H/K would be used allot. I probably would not be using...
