    Sony sa-wm40 help

    Try setting the x-over at ~100Hz. With it set at 50Hz, it's missing a good bit of signal from ~50Hz up to the receiver's cutoff. 170Hz is much too high, unless your other speakers won't play any lower than that.

    Longshot WTB: 1 3/4-inch cone tweeter from CSW speaker

    I was told that because it was physical damage(the speaker fell and landed on one of my kid's spill-proof cups:frowning: ) to the tweeter it wouldn't be covered under the warranty. They wanted 50.00 to replace the tweeter plus shipping both ways of course. I've been looking at hifi.com's eBay...

    Longshot WTB: 1 3/4-inch cone tweeter from CSW speaker

    The tweeter in one of my CSW Model Six speakers was recently destroyed so I'd like to purchase a replacement. I contacted CSW, but was told that I would have to send the speaker in for repair since they don't sell replacement drivers. The cost is a little too steep for a pair of ~6 year old...

    Comparison shopping/auditioning...looking for more recommendations

    If you can find them, Mission's m70 series is quite good. The m74s that I auditioned were excellent. However, they currently don't have a US distributor and it's tough to find them. But, if you do find a dealer that carries them you may be able to get a good discount(my local dealer was offering...

    Harman Kardon HKSUB12---any owners?

    I was going to get one(or two) of the Sony SA-WM40s on clearance at Sears, but I didn't get around to ordering soon enough and it seems that they are now sold out. So, I ran across the HKSUB12 which seems to be fairly new and I can't find any reviews on it. It certainly looks nice enough, but...

    Rogers DB-101 vs B&W V202 vs Fluance

    http://www.bwspeakers.com/downloadFi...204_manual.pdf --link to the user's manual for the B&Ws---that's about all I could find. Another suggestion--take a look at the Cambridge Soundworks Model Six. They're going for 150.00/pr right now with free shipping from hifi.com.

    Is Sony phasing out (har!) the SA-WM40?

    Actually, Sears has it on clearance for 129.97 right now. I'm planning on ordering a couple of them shortly.:)

    stuffing the Sony SA-WM40!! JUST DO IT!

    It's my understanding that if you are using the receiver's crossover you want to set the sub's crossover as high as possible so there's no interference with the signal from the receiver---especially since the sub's crossover probably isn't as accurately calibrated as it should be.

    Megaworks 550THX with different set of speakers

    You should have no problems using your other speakers as a front stage---it certainly shouldn't hurt the amplifier. The only real drawback is that the subwoofer is probably crossed over fairly high(~150Hz) since the satellites that come with the package are only 3.5" drivers. You probably won't...

    Anybody here ever hear (or own) Cambridge Soundworks "Model Six" speakers?

    I've had a set for ~5 years---though they've been in storage for a while. I was planning on selling them, but after listening to them again, I'm getting ready to get another set and use them for my HT. Wonderful speakers--nothing comes close at the price. I just need to find a matching center...

    Hydrosonic subwoofer???

    I'm just curious as to how much effect only 4 gallons of water would have---assuming it even works in the first place. I don't think skeptical is a strong enough word:p)

    Hydrosonic subwoofer???

    http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...&category=3275 I ran across this while browsing eBay---can anyone say if this might actually work as claimed? Here's the maufacturer's site, though I can't find any mention of the item in the eBay listing: http://www.soundrelatedtech.com/index.html

    DLS 10 discontinued, Alternatives? DIY help?

    I just wanted to add---you can actually save a few more bucks by pricematching the Sony sub @ Best Buy. Should came out to ~140.00 after tax and you wouldn't have to wait for it to be shipped if you choose in-store pick-up.

    DLS 10 discontinued, Alternatives? DIY help?

    The Sony is on sale at Sears.com---134.89 + ~16.00 shipping. Sale ends Saturday. I doubt you"ll be able to find anything else for ~150.00 that will compete.

    FS: Cambridge Soundworks Model Six

    http://www.hifi.com/store/category.c...kpr&type=store I bought these around 6 yrs. ago but they have seen very little use. They've spent a good deal of time in storage, but they still sound wonderful as there is nothing wrong with them functionally. Cosmetically, they have a couple of snags...

    can anyone help my sister get the most of her $300

    Since they already have a DVD player, the Logitech Z-680 system would probably fill the need quite nicely. Certainly not as good as a separate receiver/speakers, but probably sounds better than anything else at the same price. The Logitech sub is pretty good with movies---though music leaves...

    WTB: Mission M 70 speakers

    Actually, it should be just a Mission 70---not an M 70. I really would prefer just 1 speaker, but will buy a pair if necessary. One of mine was recently knocked off it's stand and the woofer's mount was broken. :frowning:

    I want a SVS but sheesh!!

    http://www.memphiscaraudio.com/publi...Subwoofers.pdf this is most likely the info on the sub----the Aria line is no longer made, though they were a pretty good product.

    Anyone have any experience with the Mission MS70HT?

    Well, after doing some more digging, I finally found a review---the speakers go by a different name, but it's the same set: http://www.homecinemachoice.com/test...aSixPack.shtml Seems like a good product, but I'm torn between these(I really like the sound of other Mission speakers) and a...

    Anyone have any experience with the Mission MS70HT?

    I'm on a really tight budget, and these seem like they might be a good deal @ 250.00. I recently had the chance to audition some other Mission speakers(I don't remember the model #s ATM) and really liked the sound. Just hoping someone here might have some experience with these, as I can't seem...
