Sorry to hear that. As John said, everytime you think you hear a rattle you'll wonder. SVS is doing an outstanding job in helping you out. I wish all companies were like this.
UPS did a number on a pair of Phase Technology PC 8.5's. The guy I bought them from sent me pictures of the speakers...
I have some gorilla glue but that stuff expands to much. I went ahead and ordered a surround repair kit from Parts Express. Better safe than sorry. Thanks for the help.
Thank you Robert I've thought about the glue from Parts Express but what I wondered is there any compatible glue I could pick up at a Home Depot, Lowe's, etc. Guess you could say I'm a little antsy to get these speakers making noise:D Happy Holidays to you too.
Is the glue used in repairing the foam on the surround basket a special type? Why I am is because I have a woofer that the foam has become unglued. It is not rotten or ripped, the glue just let loose. Thanks, Dan
Thanks John. The receiver is rated 6 or 8 ohms. I might have misunderstood the whole impedance, ohm, heat issues. If I play the receiver at normal levels would there be a problem? I am not apposed to getting a new receiver but not at this time. As the saying goes, One thing at a time.;)
I'll be getting a pair of PHase Technology PC 8.5's that I have been told are 4 ohms. My current receiver is a Denon 1602. Will there be any problems running the 4 ohm speakers with this setup? From what I have read I might be looking at an overheating problem. Anything else I should be...
Thanks! The deal is done. Hopefully I will have them by next weekend. From the pictures I was sent the look to be in excellent condition. Can't wait to hear Keb 'Mo's fingers picking the guitar strings;) I got them for $400 with the option to return the speakers if I don't like them.
I have a chance to buy a pair of Phase Technology PC 8.5's. The only drawback is I won't be able to listen to them as they are several states away. Has anyone heard these before. How do they compare to other speakers. Thanks, Dan
You might try Widespread Panic's Bombs & Butterflies and Ball. WSP is a pretty diverse group. A little country rock, a little funk a little hard rock and a lot of jammin'.
If the speakers sound good to you, then that's all that matters. I have the entra 2's and think they do a good job. AHowever they are laking in the bass department but a decent sub (Athena AS-P300)makes up for that.
The wally world where I live has had a KK for a year now. They set up a table outside the entrance way and sale stale donuts. At least it's not out of a white van.:D
6ave.com has the Denon 1603 for $199 plus 6 cents shipping. I dont think you can beat that price. I think this would be a great entry level surround unit for you. I have the 1602 and am happy with it. PM me and I will give you the link to 6ave.com that has the denon 1603.
I have the Athena AS-p300. It's a nice little sub with plenty of power and fairly tight base. If there is a best buy around you go and give it a listen. I demo'd the other subs you have listed and found the Athena to sound tighter, cleaner and powerful.
Hello all!! I guess I'm looking for conformation that the sub is bad before I make the 3 hour round trip to return it.:frowning: I have been known to miss the obvious. I just picked up an Athena AS-P300 sub from Best Buy. Read the instructions hooked it up and nothing.:frowning: The red...
Thanks all for the help and links. I probably could go up to $400. I've checked out Velodyne at Circuit City and JBL at the nearest Best Buy. They sounded OK but a little to boomy. The BB I went to didn't have any Athena but I see BB offers free shipping. Thanks again! Dan
You can gohere and read up. I'm on a second line from my landlords dish. All equipment is leased which means they do the installation, service and repair. So far it's payed off as in the last year we've had the dish replaced twice, the receivers 3 times. Some places like Radio Shack are giving...
