hey everyone, i have narrowed my quest for a receiver to these two choices. both sound real good to me , but i am having trouble picking from these two choices. i can get both for around 300.00 shipped. i have polk rti25, csi30, psw202 speakers. my living room is 13x18 ft. i like my sound...
i was wondering which of these everyone has and what you think. the feature set of both is a pretty close comparison. i have polk speakers and a 13x19 theater. please help me choose, as i am having a hard time.thanks to all who reply.
sean, osd and composite to s video conv are two must haves. also want smooth, clean power. the auto speaker setup would be nice too, but not overly important.
my living room is 18x13 ft and i was wondering which receiver would be best for my theater? i have polk speakers and sub and want at least a six channel unit. i like the onkyo 601, h/k avr330, and denon 1804. your suggestions will be appreciated!!!!!
DOLBY PLIIX IS NOT A DIGITAL FORMAT, SO HOW WERE YOU USING IT WITH DTS AND DDEX? IT TAKES STEREO AND PRO LOGIC SOURCES AND MAKES THEM INTO MATRIXED 6.1 SURROUND.
nick, i use the monster cable mb400. i have the onkyo tx-sr501 and a polk psw202 and the bass is very clean and defined. i highly recommend this cable. paid 59.99 at bb. ken
KYLE, PAGE 7 OF THE MANUAL STATES THAT THE MEMORY BUTTON IS ONLY USED WHEN STORING AND DELETING RADIO PRESETS. I JUST GOT MINE TODAY AND ABSOLUTLY LOVE IT. KEN.
JEFF, I WOULD RETURN IT AS DEFECTIVE AND PURCHASE A DIFFERENT PLAYER. I HAVE AN ONKYO FIVE DISC CHANGER AND ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT. THE NEWER MODEL IS A DV-CP701, AND IT IS A SIX DISC CHANGER. I HAVE HAD NO PROBLEMS WITH MY PLAYER, AND THE SOUND IS AWESOME THANKS TO ONKYO'S DIRECT DIGITAL PATH...
TRY TO USE AN ANALOG SOURCE AND SEE IF YOU GET STATIC. IF NOT, IT WILL MOST LIKELY BE THE DIGITAL CONNECTION INSIDE OF YOUR RECEIVER. TRY THE MAPLESHADE IONOCLAST STATIC ZAPPER FROM MAPLESHADERECORDS.COM. COSTS ABOUT FORTY DOLLARS. IF THAT DOESN'T WORK HAVE THE RECEIVER LOOKED AT BY A REPAIR CENTER.
I LIVE IN MOBILE, AL AND WE HAVE A LOT OF LIGHTNING. I HAVE USED THE MONSTER HTS800 FOR ABOUT TWO YEARS AND IT IS VERY RELIABLE. BELKIN PRODUCTS ARE GOOD TOO. HAVE ONE OF THOSE ON MY COMPUTER.
i am using the monster mb400 and couldn't be more pleased. it comes with a y-connector and greatly improved the sound of my polk psw202. got it from bestbuy for 60.00 bucks.
sony has had some quality control issues the last year or so, especially with their receivers. they will shut down completely and not come back on. i would go for the onkyo txsr601. i am thinking about that one for myself. i listened to one today and it has more power and better sound than the...
get the onkyo 701 model. it is a changer and has a direct digital path for the audio. also has a very good picture for the money. it is also prog-scan.
everything looks good on the second suggestion except the klh sub. i had to return two of these because the auto on/off feature didn't work. also the first one had a buzzing sound that would emitt from the cone. the sony would be a better buy. i listened to the sony and it can really pour on the...
not always! i have broken mine in and have listened to a lot of music and movies on it. i have also owned a jbl center in the past and the jbl had a bright and almost fake sound on the upper freq that i didn't like. the csi30 has a very natural sound that is very soothing and very accurate...
crutchfield has last years polk speakers on sale. rti38, csi30, psw202sub, you can get all of these for 600.00. i have all polk speakers and they rock with both music and movies. these would be a steal at this price. you wont be disappointed. you have to give these a break in period, but they...
TIM, CRUTCHFIELD HAS THE HTS760 FOR 499.99 RIGHT NOW. IT IS 6.1 AND COMES WITH THE TXSR501 AND SIX SPEAKERS WITH A POWERED SUB. ONLY THING THAT I WOULD UPGRADE LATER ON WOULD BE THE SPEAKERS. GOOD LUCK!!!!!
I AGREE WITH RALPH. I LISTENED TO THE ATHENA'S TOO AND I LIKED THEM BETTER THAN THE JBL'S. THEY SOUNDED SO SMOOTH AND VERY CLEAR. I OWN POLK SPEAKERS AND I LOVE THEM, BUT I WOULD PUT THE ATHENA'S UP AGAINST MY POLKS OVER JBL ANY DAY.
