Yeah, the dang thing sounds good and the price is more than right, otherwise the frustration and QC issues would not be worth it.

Yet another bad amp from PE. They are sending out my third today. My replacement worked for about two weeks, then started blowing fuses. I still appreciate that they are willing to send a new one without sending the old one back. Great customer service, I just hope the quality control is there...

I had the Sony (returned to Best Buy) and DLS (kept) in my house at the same time. The DLS is better, but I found it was most noticably better for music, not HT (it is still better though). In fact, I feel I was able to get a little more output from the Sony (I know many would debate this, and I...

nice try, I don't think I am going to sell. BTW, I read your post about Sony WM40 vs. DLS10. I had a Sony in my house (just returned to Best Buy). Anyway, DLS is much better (tighter and more musical), but it seems you know that already!

Thanks for the info guys, it's good to know my sub is most likely "normal". I'll recalibrate at 75 DB and see where it leads me, and possibly look into an equalizer. (Has anyone else tried this (high pass filter) with a DLS with good results?) Overall I really can't complain much about a $99 sub...

Ok, Thanks to everyones help, I think I got my new DLS (with new replacement amp) set up correctly (I think). On 811s, speakers small, Xover 100, and crossover on DLS all the way up (160). The sound is great! Tight bass without boom. Mixes great with music. But I am beginning to think my room...

Looks like the crossover setting was my main problem. Now sounds really good. I do find myself wanting to crank it a little more than it can handle, but I am wondering if that is more likely its placement and my room size (19x15x9, with stairwell opening in back). Its also 12 feet away, facing...

Chuck, Your right, I got my crossover on my DLS backwards. I'll turn it up tonight to get rid of the gap and see what this does. (As far as the bottoming out possibility, I wouldn't think it would matter much, as it seems to want to bottom out on really low frequencies which would be below...

Thanks Geoff, I may do some crawling around tonight after I get a y-splitter and a longer sub cable. I'm going to try and rent Video Essentials from Hollywood Video, I know they used to have it. Do you know if the DVD Home Theater Setup Disk (Silver Edition) from Parts Express any good? It's...

Thanks Ryan, I agree, it does seem that +10 on the reciever is probably too high, but it seemed a little strange too that my DLS was turned up halfway, when most people have said that 1/4 way should be sufficient. I did put the new amp in myself, little connector to little and big to big on...

thanks Geoff, actually the 811 is a little different than the 709, it doesn't have the same setup. The 811 does only have a sub channel level setting (-10 to +10, just like all the other channels) and the LFE attenuation (lfe off, 0 for no attenuation, and -10 for some attenuation). Some...

thanks Geoff,

Thanks for the input guys. I did do a quick calibration with THX optimizer on Star Wars EP. II and an SPL meter. I looked at the LFE instructions in my manual, there is only an attenuation function: 0db is no attenuation, -10db attenuates, and ~~ turns off LFE. From reading around on the forum...

This is my first post, but I've been reading this forum for about a month, and in the process have put together my modest home theater from everyone's input. Got a Pioneer 811, 7.1 setup with JBL NSP1 II package and two more n24's (would have gotten n26's for fronts but got an open box pair of...
