    So, I got a AVR130(stop the snickering) to demo and am debating which is better. Using the sub out to each speaker or what....

    Yes, the receiver is in 2 channel...unfortunately. Hopefully it is the receiver! I can fix that easy enough though. Thanks for the help guys. Sorry for all the newbie questions! You guys are great. When I have the new receiver hooked up, I'll run the RABOS and see what happens.

    Tony, here are my initial readings at 9ft from the closest speaker in a room that is approximately 20' wide with a ceiling that vaults from 8' to 16' in that 9 feet from the speaker to my listening position.With all 3 settings at full clockwise and the freqs on the receivers eq set flat and the...

    Newbie IL60/speaker question

    ...should it be possible to bottom these subs out with a bass drum with the volume turned up below half? Read the following only if you like Metallica.... Specifically, I was listening to Bleeding Me by Metallica and wanting to hear Jason Newstead's bass as it kicks in on that song. So...

    Newbie IL60/speaker question

    Thanks for the responses! Yes, I do have the switches in the appropriate positions and have experimented with both those and the RABOS settings. That is why I am so disappointed. I will be picking up a receiver of some sort this weekend to "demo" until I can send the payment for the 525...

    Newbie IL60/speaker question

    No, I didn't connect it up to the speakers because I didn't really think it would do anything. I just can't see how this could be any issue other than something in the old Sony POS limiting something. I mean, I can't see an SVS sounding a ton better than an Infinity. Maybe so, but I can't see...

    Newbie IL60/speaker question

    ..and if my POS Sony is only rated from 70Hz-20,000Hz(which I assume is 20kHz), what does that mean exactly? I mean, maybe that's why I can't feel the bass like I think I should be able to. Does this mean that my receiver is not able to send anything below 70Hz to anywhere/any driver because it...

    Newbie IL60/speaker question

    Nathan, someone on AVS had mentioned that I get a y splitter. I am sure they were telling me to do the same thing that you are telling me to do and that I just didn't understand what they were saying. Like I have said, I am a rookie at this and just trying to learn what to do. My old all-in-one...

    Newbie IL60/speaker question

    Well, I don't know that tight is the right word. I am thinking that it sounds more like the stock speakers in my truck when it tries to play something too low for it or something. Maybe muddy is the right term. I remember my buddy's car back in the early 90's. It had 4 Infinity amps powering...

    Newbie IL60/speaker question

    Please help a newbie out. I have tried reading all that I can, but time is key here. I am a newbie(and new IL60 owner) to audio and have tried to read up on what I can. That said, I am very disappointed in what I hear from the IL60s(basswise) that I have. Now, I have a very crappy rack type...

    Which receiver for IL60's

    My ILs haven't arrived yet, so I can't audition anything at home yet. I am at the very early stages of piecing this together. You guys are great though! It is killing me to wait for this stuff, but I am glad that there is a place like this to do my research ahead of time! My tv deal fell...

    Which receiver for IL60's

    Are the Onkyos bright? Specifically, I am torn at this time between the Onkyo 601 and the HK 325.

    Which receiver for IL60's

    I just want to get the best possible sound out of those speakers. I do have a ceiling in the living room area that vaults up into the 20 foot range, vaulting up from where the entertainment center and fronts will sit. I am planning on using the IL60s as fronts and maybe IL10s as rears. I'll...

    Which receiver for IL60's

    I know this is an extremely redundant question on these boards, but please bear with this newbie! I just purchased a set of IL60's. I have an old Sony POS HCT-450(?) system circa 1995ish. I am wanting to upgrade to a decent and affordable HT setup and don't want to break the bank. I am leaning...
