Have been a Denon user for some time, always appreciated. Have some speakers that are just itching to have at a new system, and would enjoy taking the new receiver for a spin and whistle up some outloud notes in my home.

With many challenges in life, I had to release my last audio system, and this would be a great way to restart a new one.

Due to financial stresses in recent years, I had to sell my old system. It would be a blessing to have again the core element to get going again. Thank you.

Hey Tom Thanks for the reply. The NHT's are the generation prior to the Super Ones, and are significantly smaller, or thinner at least. They are a wonderful design and sounding speaker, and can play small to medium size rooms very well. My friend is new to thinking about good A/V. A...

Looking for some guidance: Have a friend who has a tiny room, and while I have some NHT 1.2 towers for the front that won't hurt his space too much, surrounds are a real challenge. Can anyone recommend some good value small(tiny) speakers that would be good for surrounds and maybe...

Speakers are PSB Stratus Silveri's Front L/R (rated to 35Hz), Stratus C6i Center (rated to 55Hz) and Athena AS-B1's as surrounds (don't expect much base out of em). No sub, had a nice Velodyne 15", but had to move to an apartment, hardwood floors, not a sub-friendly environment. Running a...

Thanks for the replies. In fact, I've been spending months now looking for exactly those 4-ohm standard ratings for receivers, and truth to tell, they are few and far between. NAD is the only 'a/v receiver' that actually specifies a 4ohm load thd of less than .06%. Now, that's not saying...

G'evenin all Looking for some opinions as to what receiver you would recommend as the best in the $1000 range(800-1200 max!) Needs are about 50-50 music/tv-dvd Need to drive 4ohm speakers across the front, 8ohm surrounds. Those are the basics. I'll add more detail below, but if you...

True to both above posts. I was out of town the past 2 days on business, so wasn't here to warn him off a bad path. Just have to educate him on danger signs, so he isn't responsible for buying me a used set of speakers that'll cost em $500 or so more if he fries em with nasty juice from a nasty...

Believe me, I wouldn't touch this myself, but my new roomate's a novice extraordinaire, just emailed me back that he already bought it. He can probably still cancel the deal though, as he just put it in an hour ago. I even had a nice amp for him to use, but I know this thing won't have any...

Haloo folks. Just got a new roomate, and he wants to make use of some spare speakers I have, particularly some NHT 1.2's I've had laying about. It's a simple setup, just TV/DVD/VCR/music, all as a small bedroom set-up. Inlikely he will even use anything other than the 2 front speakers...

Already have the mains, PSB Silveri's(2k/pair). *Will be getting PSB mini's for surrounds($1100/pair). *Will be getting PSB C6i center($800) **Have the Velodyne cht-10, cost me $350. (Will possibly be looking for different sub, this one was really just a trial, can be returned, and I think I...

I'm currently building a low to mid range HT system. It's going to consist of PSB Stratus silveris, C6i and mini's for surrounds. Also have a Velodyne cht-10(very curious what you might think about this model). Also planning on purchasing a new receiver(eyeing NAD 763 or 773). Currently have...

Thanks Wayne, for responses to both threads. Feeling more comfortable at this point. Have fronts at small, sub in phase, volume still being adjusted as I have some more experimenting to do. Getting a better all-around feel for now. One thing that still is a major drawback is listening to...

If I have to use one corssover or the other, does that mean that I must set the sub to Direct, bypassing it's internal cross, since I can't manually change the receiver setting? So, does that mean that the best settings for me would be to have the fronts set to small, sub to Direct, and let...

Feeling throughly lost here. Trying all sorts of different settings, just don't seem to be able to get a setting where I get a seemless, or as close to as possible, blending into my sound with the new sub. Sounds great with music, very hitchy with TV and perhaps weak with movies... Is...

Curious as to how best set up my sub. I have the Vel cht-10, and have the ability to go from 40-120Hz for crossover, manually adjust the volume, and can also turn off the sub's cross completely. Also have the phase switch, 0 or 180. I have no ability to adjust the cross in my receiver, older...

Have a new Velodyne sub(cht-12"), and am struggling to properly calibrate it with my system. Currently, I'm getting the issue where it frequently puts out a thumpy sound, like someone tapping a microphone. What might you suggest to smooth out the performance? I've tried many things...

come on guys, really need some advice here.

Hi Folks Currently building a PSB system: only have the Stratus Silveri's at this point. No Center, and temporarily using Athena AS-B1's for surrounds. Trying to build a system to last me the next decade or two, so better quality bit by bit than an all at once less than desirable system...

Just curious: After having the 773 for about a month now, would you care to describe your experience with it? Pro's, con's, anything else relevant... Very interested as I'm in the market to grab a new receiver (or possibly a pre/pro, though I'm not sure I can reach that price range...

I think one of the most critical pieces of data to look at in terms of 4 ohm vs 6 or 8 ohm speakers is the distortion rating of the signal when driving speakers of different levels. In most cases, where amps/receivers are designed for 8 ohm loads, you will see a very large, exponential(not...

I'm in the midst of building a PSB Stratus system, having now added the C6i to my silveri's. Left for me are the mini's. That being said, I've been to 3 different dealers who's main focus is PSB, and not one of them recommend using a PSB sub, at least not with a straight face. Get them into...

I also feel it would be good to have some baseline B&M comparisons. It would probably do justice to highlighting the savings one can get via on-line purchasing, but also give people a point of reference if they would like an idea of what a speaker might look, sound, and taste like. ;) Perhaps...

For about $149, you can get Athena AS-B1's, new. I gather that you could grab them used for $100. Probably the most highly recommended bookshelf speakers for their price. ht tp://ww w.soundstage.com/revequip/athena_asb1.htm ht tp://ww w.athenaspeakers.com/ (Just remove the spaces...

She's definitely a beaut to look at. Nice design enhancement. Well done again Denon.

You probably already checked, but just in case, ensure the speakers are wired properly, and aren't out of phase. As well, I'm not sure if this would work, never had to attempt it, but with your set-up, I wonder if 'toe-ing out' your speakers a bit might give you a wider soundstage. I know it...

Just a quick update. Received my mx-700 2 days ago, and with maybe 2-3 hours of programming, I've finally been able to stick my cluster of individual remotes in a cabinet. Close by for now, as I am sure I'll want to do some tweaking, but I have successfully used this remote for every device I...

After waffling around for a while, I decided to go with the MX-700. It really appears to have the best features physically, as well as internet support. What really made me go the extra mile, $$$-wise, is the ability to import pronto codes. I think this sets it apart from the 500 and Harmony...

ok folks. Enough now. You've hi-jacked a decent thread. Getting annoyed checking responses only to find this off-topic jabbering. If you feel the need, PM each other. Otherwise, please post on topic, or not at all.
