    annoying flutter in woofer

    Thanks. Yes it's just every once in a while on a few CD's. It's a very low Hz rumble, not particularly loud, that has nothing to do with the music at that given moment. Can be very irritating. I don't know many people who are really into higher end equipment so I have no way of know if it's my...

    annoying flutter in woofer

    I'm not sure how to ask this question. But at times on some CDs, during the playing of a song, my woofer will flutter making a very low Hz sound that has nothing to do with the music. It just occassionaly happens on some CDs. Can anyone suggest what may be causing that?

    Anthem Owners

    I'm interested in the anthem as well. Will it let you play music in 5.1 (Neo-6), and movies in 6.1 without having to go into setup each time to change it? I have a rotel and I don't have that flexibility. I either have to have 6 speakers + sub playing with both music and movies or 5 spk + sub...

    voltage question to speakers

    Is the voltage to my speakers and sub, AC or DC? What is a normal range of voltage with loud music? I have two subs daisy chained. When I turn off one sub it causes the other sub to pop. I put a meter on the sub that I turn off, and when I turn that sub off and I get a 2.5 DC voltage kick sent...

    Question for any Rotel RSP 1068 owner

    I often play 2 channel stereo CD's using DTS Neo 6. Unless I go into the setup and deactivate the back channel, it plays 6.1, which is what I do not want. I really don't like music coming from the back of my head. I guess I'd like the option of having an automatically deactivated back channel...

    Question for any Rotel RSP 1068 owner

    I have a Rotel RSP 1068 HT processor and a 6.1 system. I would like to have different configurations for movies and music. For movies I want to use my rear speaker (6.1). For music, I do not want my rear speaker active. I just want 5.1 for music. Can I set up my 1068 this way? If so, how? If...

    Neo 6 question

    I use the Neo 6 music mode that's on my Rotel 1068 processor. I only have 5 speaker plus the sub. I don't have a rear speaker. I was wondering what I'm missing out on in terms of music information playing in Neo 6 mode with 5.1 system. Can anyone that knows how Neo 6 works, let me know if it's...

    stereo sub output

    Thanks. Yeah, I was thinking about when I have a crossover set at 100 Hz, I'd like the < 100 Hz to go stereo to L and R subs. I wasn't really thinking in terms of 5.2 or 2.2. Again, thanks for the response.

    stereo sub output

    Are there processors that can put out stereo sub signals? My Rotel 1068 has a sub1 and sub2 output and all it is, is just a spliter. Same signal goes to both subs.

    DVD universal player crossover points

    Does anyone make a universal DVD player that allows separate crossover points for each set of speakers, e.g. fronts, sides, etc? My Denon 3910 DVD player only lets me select a crossover point for all speakers at once. Thanks, Stan

    Anthem avm 20 vs avm 30

    Would someone who is familiar with Anthem processors comment on the difference between the AVM 20 vs AVM 30. Is it anything other that the number or devices or zones one can run?

    buzz in my sub rotel processor, denon DVD

    I know this is a shot in the dark but here goes. I had a Denon 5803 amp and a Denon 3910 DVD player. With this set up my sub had no buzz. I decided to go to separates. Now I have a Rotel 1090 amp, and a Rotel 1068 processor, with same Denon DVD player and same sub. Now I get a buzz in my sub...

    I have a Rotel 1068 processor. I have set my crossover points of my speakers to 80 Hz. The processor also allows the setting of a crossover point of the subwoofer. What should I set it as?

    Balanced vs Unbalanced

    The reason I was asking was that my Rotel 1090 amp has rca unbalanced and xlr balanced inputs. I have a rotel 1068 processor and currently have rca unbalanced cables. I didn't know if switching is worth the expense.

    Sony DVP-NS999ES and Denon 5803 set up problem

    Thiel Subwoofers

    I'm checking out the Thiel SS1 subs. Has anyone looked at these yet? The SS1 has a 500W amp and one 10" driver. The SS2 has two 10" drivers and 1000W amp. The SS2 is $2000 more than the SS1. Is the extra $ worth it for the SS2? I'm setting up a system in a 15 x 20 room.
