Hi guys, My receiver supports both 6 and 8 ohms. Assuming I bought a main speaker that is at 6 ohms and a center speaker that is at 4 ohms. Will there be any issues like destroying the 4 ohms speaker or the receiver? Or will it just be harder for my receiver to drive the center speaker...
Thanks for the inputs guys. I may have to rerun a new cable which is fun. :) But since my yamaha supports 7.1, I can just retain the cabling to my rear wall and just add wires to both sidewalls.
hey guys, when mounting left/right surround speakers in your room, should it be mounted on the wall behind our couch or on the left/right side wall? Currently, mine is behind. Should I move it to the left/right side wall? Thanks. Neil
Hey guys, I called an authorized B&W and Paradigms speakers about a week ago. I was asking about the MSRP of B&W 601s and 602s. I also asked how it sounded. He told me that it was nice. Then he asked me what my speakers where. I told him that I currently have an Atom. Then he told me that if...
Sorry about my signature. It's been there since 2003. I was a very active poster in Speakers and Subwoofers forum on this same site. Thanks for fixing it.
Hi Jon Lane, I've seen some reviews that Swans are really nice. Some describes it being laid back. But I don't know what laid back means. And also, I'm a bit worried that if I order, I don't know when am gonna get it. I have never seen on your site about 2.1 BC being in stock. It always says...
Hey guys, I currently have 20-39 PCi. I'm very happy with it. If I will be upgrading to another SVS brand, what should I buy? I want to hear box type recommendation now and not cylinder. I want something similar to my 20-39 such as the low deep bass. I can feel it. Also, my SVS is about 11...
hey guys, been wanting to get 2.1 and c3 swans speakers for a long time but other more important things keep popping up. Anyways, I know that Swans speakers are built in China. However, what makes this speaker so famous other than sound being nice(from what people say.)? Are the internal...
How about comcast, do they have the rights of downgrading the quality before it gets sent out their wire? Coz if that's the case, what's the point of having HDTV. These companies are suppressing us from getting raw HDTV. Aren't still they happy with their standard cable for $45? :) so if you add...
I wish someone knows what quality is sent out the firewire output. I hope it's still raw and not downgraded. I'm thinking about this because of the July 1 Broadcast Flag. I'm thinking of dumping that to a pc. What do you think?
Hi David WS, I'm also interested about the Motorola 6214 (Dual Tuner HD DVR). What programming package did you get? Can it record non-local HD program like Discovery, ESPN etc? What wire connects this 6214 to your HDTV set? Are there any firewire port on that DVR? Thanks, Neil
Ok, but what about in movie theaters with big screens, such as the once we pay for $7-$9 per movie? How come, we got plenty of chairs there and I think that even if we sit on different location, the sound will still remain the same. How do they do it?
Likewise in my Yamaha, main volume is frozen at 0db. But I can still toggle each channel's volume. I'm very happy to have that feature. :) I actually placed my sub behind my rear sitting position, left corner. That's where I found where the sub is really nice. But as I move closer to my...
Hi Eric, This is interesting. I have an AVIA disc. I think it's in Chapter 7 that you can really start audio calibration. Anyways, I just use the selection in the main menu such as Left Front channel, Right Front channel and so on. I use the test sound included in those buttons. Is this pink...
I found 2 links, http://www.hometheaterforum.com/htfo...59#post2455159 http://www.hometheaterforum.com/htfo...threadid=26728 Am I correct that this is not calibration? And am I correct that when doing calibration on our speaker using Radio Shack spl, we should not be adding db's to our...
What am I really planning of doing is this: 1. Purchase a pair of 2.1 and put it as mains 2. Purchase C3 for the center 3. Put the existing Atoms as my rears 4. subwoofer will still remain the same This way, my setup will be almost complete for the 5.1. So do you think, my yammie...
Hi Rob, You mentioned about matching the equipments. I have the Yamaha RXV-1400, what is this type, is it warm,bright,neutral or what? Any help will be appreciated! Thanks ;)
hey guys, Just found a window to be able to post after so much production work in the office. Anyways, one of the factors that makes me buy things is user feedback. I bought SVS because of positive feedback and not through audition. I know that ears is always the best route. I'm very happy...
Verify that you connected the cable to the RCA port IN interface and not the OUT port on the subwoofer. I got confused before with this. :D And also, the bass out setting. In my Yamaha, I can change the setting to have the LFE sent to the mains or swfr and even both. Currently, my front...
You're like a CIA. You know that I have been to Bose Huntley before. Hmmm. :D I couldn't remember where I posted that. Tweeter in Crystal Lake, you know it too. :frowning: Just kidding. Sure, I can stop by to listen to your setup. I will also invite you. Just private msg me.
