    DefTech CLR 2000, sounds like a tin can?

    OK, I tried repointing the speaker towards the seating, not a bad idea anyway but didn't resolve the sound issue. While I was doing that I checked the posts and speaker wires... pulled them out retwisted and cranked them down again and bingo full bodied sound. :D I'm so relieved, I have an order...

    DefTech CLR 2000, sounds like a tin can?

    Help, I just bought a Definitive Technology CLR 2000 to use as a front center channel. It sounds like the audio is coming out of a tin can when in any of the cinema surround modes. :eek: I have a Outlaw Audio 950/770 combo and my fronts are Energy 5.1e's. When I set the audio to any of the...

    DefTech or Energy Surrounds?

    I spoke to an Energy sales guy today and he recomended the Connoisseur series C-C1 and the C-R3 over the Veritas V2.0C and V2.0R. I was surprised :confused: because the V's are much more expensive, he blamed it on the materials mostly. Thoughts?

    :D My whole house rattled... (HT Newbie)

    I'll have to try picking up an Avia disc and see how that does. I really want to understand more about what's going on with my system so that wouldn't hurt. How is it some people know that there's a gap in there system? I've heard some people say things like "there's a hump at 60Hz"...

    speakers questions

    I'm not an expert by any stretch, but I think you'd have to consider two things. First, can your receiver power that many speakers? What's the wattage rating per channel? What are the wattage needs of your speakers? Second, this will mean that you'll end up still having stereo, it will...

    DefTech or Energy Surrounds?

    Hoping for some help on selecting surrounds. My room is 12x22' with an opening to the left to the hallway and stairs. It's cement slab underneath old linoleum. I plan on redoing the floor with cork. Here's my current list of equipment: Pair of Energy 5.1e's (front left & right channels)...

    Now that this tangent I caused is resolved did anyone have an opinion on the surrounds and my original questions?

    Ok, now I feel silly. I'm with you now, I guess I should have lined the numbers up myself now that you point it out. It is big! Hey, I said I was a newbie...

    :D My whole house rattled... (HT Newbie)

    Oops, I guess that's 16Hz-46Hz not kHz? :b That would be impressive, 7 of those and I'd be all set! Right now the I have the sub channel on the reciever at 0db but the test tone is registering at close to 90db on my radshack sound level meter. If I turn the subs gain up to half then I can't...

    :D My whole house rattled... (HT Newbie)

    ...When I calibrated my new SVS and listened to the test tones. OK, that was cool. Here's I'm going with this, I've recently moved into a new house and have resolved to build a real home theater setup for myself now that I've got the space. It's a tri-level home and the lower level has a space...
