thanks guys. I'll try your suggestions. I was beginning to think I was totally clueless. well, not totally, but.... anyway, I'll give it a shot tomorrow and try to get this system EQ'd my best to you, ray t.
Hi Folks, I have a Pioneer 1015 receiver and am trying get OSD through to a new panny 900u projector. I tried to hook up the DVD "component out" to the receiver "component in", and then component from the receiver "Monitor out" to the projector but I don't get any picture. (The Pioneer only has...
Want to buy one Athena F2 or willing to trade for as new F2.2. Long story but ordered an Athena Hometheater pkg. that included F2's and one was shipped damaged. Vendor sent an F2.2 in replacement but I am interested in keeping the entire set matched. anyone willing to sell one or trade?
Hi all, I got a call from a vendor saying the reliability and service from Panasonic is horrible and recommended the Z4 over the 900U. He also said they are having lamp life issues. anyone have any input on that? He also said that the Z4 is brighter and sharper and in my room (14x18) that it...
Hi all, and thanks for your responses. It bolstered my resolve so today I spent some time on hold and got to speak with one of their customer service reps who couldn't approve my proposal but he did agree it was fair and doable but would have to have his mgr approvbe it when they come in...
I agree but they haven't been real responsive at the moment. I'd be willing to send the entire F-2 package (F-2, C1, AS-R1 and ASP400) back in exchange for the 2.2 package w/ the new 6000 sub(and pay the difference in cost), so that all the speakers would match. do you think this is fair?
I bought two Athena F-2's in a home theater package from Abe's of Maine but one was shipped damaged. more than 6 weeks later an F2.2 arrives on my porch. these aren't the same speaker are they? the F-2.2 is 6 lbs. lighter than the F-2 and is sold for less money so it doesn't sound like they...
Uhhh, I have one! long story short, I bought two F-2's in a home theater package from Abe's of Maine but one was shipped damaged. more than 6 weeks later a F2.2 arrives on my porch. seeking opinions as to what to do - these aren't the same speaker are they? the F-2.2 is 6 lbs. lighter and is...
I can definitely relate! but I can tell you that the agony is much reduced when you decide to just go ahead and commit to something and get it installed. then, you can work at understanding its' capabilities and limits and getting it to do what you want. my opinion is that when all is said and...

Eddie, hi, first of all, I don't think that $429 from SVS includes shipping. am I wrong? second, if you are looking to purchase a sub and these are the ones that get your attention right now, may I suggest you consider the Klipsch KSW-10, available at Costco for $199. add local sales tax to...
OK, I went back and reviewed the article concerning their release, and it appears that only the b-1 and c-1 will be getting the Neodymium tweets. according to a very helpful gent I spoke with at Audio Advisor, the new f-2's will be somewhat narrower, as well as the new stylistic treatment...
jon_ad, I beieve there was some discussion about the new versions having the Neodymium tweeter. is this not the case? I know the Micra's have them and seem to be the "new" wave at Athena Technologies.
Wow, I got curious looking at all the comments on the F-2's and decided to check reviews and availibility. seems they're not available anymore. all the usual e-tailer/retailers are out of stock. any ideas who else might have them in stock?
OK Geoff, that is starting to wick up the dim bulb that is my brain. so at the risk of oversimplifying this, it seems that the "personality" (for lack of a better word) of the sound, is largely a factor of where the freqs. cross into the mid and tweet, and the "extension" is mainly the woof's...
LuckyB, man, you got to stay with a thread if you post in it. I referred you to this thread before in reference to the very same queston you asked in a duplicate thread and you even posted in the thread... here's the linky: http://www.hometheaterforum.com/htfo...hreadid=227574 check out...
good posts, Peter. even in the face of flagrant favoritism, you maintain your professionalism. in my book, that means you're a classy guy. :emoji_thumbsup:
Geoff, very lucid and clear reasoning. this is a more specific answer that I have been looking for. but the midrange in all of these speakers is their 4". are you saying that it would be a better driver to handle the freq. between 300 and 1,000Hz than the 6" or 8" drivers in the E80 or 90...
